Reading, PA - Media Review Quotes
By Stephanie C.
Def Leppard took the stage to thunderous applause and shook the floor with shrieking guitars and heavy bass rhythms.
Singer Joe Elliott might look a little worse for wear but his voice still manages to hit the heights when he needs to.
The band played its greatest hits, from "Rocket" to "Animal" to "Love Bites," and threw in a hard-rocking cover of "Rock On." Then they stripped down to acoustic guitars for "Two Steps Behind" and half of "Bringing on the Heartbreak" before they plugged back in for "Hysteria" and "Armageddon It."
They unveiled a new song, "Nine Lives," from their new album that, surprisingly, is a duet with country singer Tim McGraw. It sounds like vintage Leppard but the true-vintage Leppard of "Photograph" and "Pour Some Sugar on Me" had the audience on their feet.
