Atlanta, GA - Media Review Quotes

By Laura Jorgensen

The high 100+ degree temperature didn’t detract concert goers from coming out on Friday, June 29 to see the "Rock of Ages" tour with Def Leppard, Poison, and Lita Ford. The venue was packed and the lawn had a decent turn out for the heat wave we've been experiencing in Atlanta. (Unfortunately, the traffic made it impossible for me to see Lita Ford's opening set and that was totally tragic on my part because I was looking forward to singing, "Kiss Me Deadly" in my seat with her.)

British heavy metal headliner Def Leppard got everyone up and rockin' out for their entire set. Wearing a little bit more glam attire than Poison, lead singer Joe Elliott wielded a sparkly mic and sang loud, proud, and rock 'n' rolled it all over the place. The infamous one-armed drummer Rick Allen was keeping the beat next to a big yellow sunflower. Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell played guitars and Rick Savage played bass. They had interesting visuals and videos on all screens and some fun pyrotechnics to enhance the show. Def Leppard closed out the set with "Pour Some Sugar on Me" and then an encore song - "Rock of Ages."
