Cleveland/Cuyahoga Falls, OH - Media Reviews

By Michael Heaton

And who knew there were thousands of people in Cleveland who know all the lyrics to a dozen Def Leppard songs? Not me. But it was in clear evidence at Blossom Tuesday night that the '80s British metal, power-anthem band has not been forgotten by folks in Northeast Ohio.

A forest of fist-pumping fans, many holding aloft a sea of blue, Bud Lite tallboy cans, sang along with every word.

The band's muscular and at times melodic opening set delivered high voltage favorites such as "Love Bites," "Bringin' On the Heartbreak" and their classic rock radio hit "Pour Some Sugar on Me" for a very appreciative crowd.

Leppard lead singer Joe Elliott mentioned that one dollar from every ticket on the tour went to the Wounded Warrior Foundation for returning veterans. It was yet another feel-good moment for the loud and large evening.
