St. Louis, MO - Media Review Quotes

By Sean Derrick

Def Leppard’s set started with “Let’s Go” (from their 2015 self-titled CD) and seemed a bit out of place. It wasn’t until the next song, “Animal” that the crowd really got into the music and got ramped up. I don’t have a problem with the song, itself. Only the placement. Not my choice to lead off a show, but that was the only thing I could find at fault this night.

In fact, the Leps sounded superb. Not a cookie cutter, sound exactly like the record note-for-note kind of perfect, but stylistically. Joe’s voice sounded better than it has in a long time and the guitar solos were the kind that came from the heart. Again, not a rehashed note-specific style from any particular record, but a soulful in-the-moment kind of vibe.

With this being the 3rd from the last stop on their 39 city summer tour, the band was in perfect synch and having fun on stage.
