Houston, TX - Media Review Quotes

By Matthew Keever

Def Leppard opened, taking the stage at 8 o'clock sharp after enticing the crowd with a countdown on the big screens on either side of the stage. Vocalist Joe Elliott emerged from behind the curtain donning a white jacket and a black sequined T-shirt, which looked about as hot as KISS' high-flying pyrotechnics.

From opener "Let It Go" to "Pour Some Sugar on Me" and two encores, Def Leppard was as well-received as the makeup-donning quartet that closed out the evening. Percussionist Rick Allen brought the ruckus, reminding everyone that even the loss of a limb can't keep a person from being a rock star if he or she wants it badly enough.
