As great as the music remains, what makes the band worth seeing are the energy, the stage presence and the craft.

Guitarists Campbell and Phil Collen stride the stage like wind-up dolls, stopping only for solos or to chime in on vocals. And what solos they were! Collen got most of the flashy opportunities, but Campbell got to get the lead out a few times himself and was more than up to the task.

Singer Joe Elliott can still deliver a wail as great as ever, and bass player Rick Savage strutted every inch of the stage while laying a great musical foundation. Drummer Rick Allen was, of course, less mobile — that comes with the territory for drummers — but he remains another reason to see the band live. Where else are you gonna see a drummer excel using only one arm?
