Houston, TX - Media Review Quotes

By Cory Garcia

Def Leppard look like a rock band. There’s an effortless cool to their stage presence, a complete comfort with who they are and how they look that most bands pushing 30 years in the business don’t come close to. With their tiered stage, an ample amount of scarves flowing, and a small battery of lasers, the show visually looked like something not unlike the videos they showed looking back at their ‘80s tours. Honestly, the biggest difference might be the fact that Phil Collen looks like a total stud these days.

This is because when it comes to the music, the band sounds as good as ever. They have so much energy and when their hooks hit on songs like “Foolin’” and “Rock of Ages” you might just find yourself pumping your fist whether you care about the band or not. At this point, they understand the theatricality of live rock and roll and the ebb and flow of building a setlist, and while there were a couple of slow points, they mostly kept the crowd in the palm of their hand.
