Detroit, MI - Media Review Quotes

By Edward Pevos

Def Leppard:

The hits: Def Leppard took the stage at 7:30pm and absolutely rocked the heck out of Comerica Park for 90 minutes playing hit after hit with almost no dull moments. You can't ask for much more from these living legends, especially in the sweltering heat.

The swings and misses: This is the fifth or sixth time I've seen Def Leppard in concert. They always bring it, and while they do a nice job of playing mostly the hits fans want to hear, it would be nice to hear a few other hits which I've never heard them perform live, including "Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad" and "Stand Up." These are great songs that they never seem to include in their setlist, but continue to perform their remake version of "Rock On" which seems underwhelming at every show.

So did Def Leppard, with nine of the 15 songs from its hour and 25 minute show hailing from those two Diamond-certified albums. A network of sub-woofers shook the stadium with the brawny chug of “Rocket” and the quintet was off to the races, like Journey keeping the ballads largely at bay and focusing on its metal-flavored brand of hard rock -- and even then the likes of “Love Bites” and “Bringin’ On The Heartbreak” carried as much oomph as any of the heavier fare in the group’s set.

Def Leppard -- whose most recent concert video was filmed at the DTE Energy Music Theatre -- did go acoustic, successfully, for “Two Steps Behind,” but as the sun dipped behind the horizon the group had Comerica rocking through anthems such as “Foolin’,” “Animal,” “Let’s Get Rocked,” “Armageddon It,” “Pour Some Sugar On Me” and the encore duo “Rock Of Ages” and “Photograph.” Frontman Joe Elliott promised “there will be a next time,” and the fans in front of him made it clear that can’t come soon enough.
