Steel Panther kicked off the nite with a riotous funny rocking 40min set and warmed the crowd up nicely. Next up was Motley Crue , entered teh stage with a huge bang and explosion and got the crowd rocking but one downside was the constant use of the `f`word which seemed every 2 minutes,which was funny at time but got boring after awhile. They played all their relatively known hits with blasts of explosions and flames which u could feel the heat ten rows back! The highlight for them was Tommy lees rollercoaster drumkit which spun on a circular rollacoaster track during a solo and he plucked a guest outa the audience to ride with him!!! Great entertainment!!
Next up the main event,,Def leppard , they stole the show, no gimics or fireworks or fairground attractions, just rock n roll! Hit after hit after hit! Huge hd screens working to the music and a backdrop of memories throughout the years, simple but effective!!!
Leppard blew the spots of the rest of them, they let the music do the talking!!! In the words of frontman, Joe elliott, `until next time, and there will be a next time` !!!
