Reno, NV - Fan Reviews

Fan Review - By Amy H

This was a really REALLY good show! Out of the 3 shows I've been to, this was yet another memorable one for me. No freaks, no geeks, just the boys I love so much stage sent my heart pounding! I was 24 rows back, but that didn't stop me from having an awesome time, minus the fact I had to wear high boots to see since I stand only at 5 foot 2 inches!

Joe was really interacting with the crowd, saying he was sorry for not being here in such a long time. He also was getting everybody loud and rowdy to see if we could beat the record for the Idaho show they had the night before. Joe has such an energy for life that cannot be denied in his vocals and the way he is with his fans! The way he moves to the left, moves to the right, A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! At the same time, he never stands still long enough to capture him in a photograph, too sexy for his own good!

Phil is nothing but mind blowing of what he has done for Def Leppard. You could really hear he puts his heart and soul into his work as it is on the CDs and such, but it is 10x bigger life and you can hear and see it, bravo Phil!

Sav's bass playing never stops to amaze me, he is fast and really good at what he does, but he plays it off cool which I love! The funny thing of it all is, he is good at confusing me, I think he is Joe half the time!

Rick, the battery of the band, keeps um going, no doubt about that...and never misses a beat! Thanx to him, I catch myself tapping my foot to many of their songs and just grin ear to ear. What can I say, I've had a thing for drummers ever since high school!

Vivian, he really didn't come to my side of the stage that much this year which was odd. You could hear he was up and out there! Ah you gotta love Def Leppard's dual guitar sound though, without Vivian, we would have a different sound to our lads. I gotta admit, dual guitars rule! Of course, I got very emotional during 'Foolin' and 'Love Bites' (blame Joe...haha just kidding Luv!) but aside from that, I rocked out, sang to, and danced to 'Rocket', 'Photograph', 'Animal', and many more just to name a few. I would really like them to come back to Reno, if I am still here within that year that is for sure.

The wet blanket came out after the show though. Don't get me wrong, but whatever happened sucked after meeting up with Phil again and Rick again. I'll tell ya seeing Phil again was weird since I saw him a week before, but he was as sweet as ever. And seeing Rick again since last year was pretty cool, he always makes me laugh and smile no doubt. Some dude in a black suit, whoever he was, managed to hurt my feelings pretty bad. Whoever, whatever, he was he was just rude and not very nice! Anyways. . . I have no idea if Joe was gonna come out next after Rick. But I did see him a few feet away from me and I am pretty sure he saw the small group of us calm folks. He looked busy though, talking to a couple people. Then the next thing I was asking myself where he went, he just disappeared!

Well, after Rick had come and gone, that guy in the black suit bolts out and goes to the group of 15 (or less) of people, including me, 'Okay everybody, get out of here! You got more than you deserved!' My mom yells back and goes 'My daughter meets them after every show, is Joe gonna come out?' and he snaps back at her and says 'NO, GO HOME!'

Within a few minutes later, the crowd left, I wanted to go back but I was clearly out of it and my feet couldn't hold anymore. This guy in black was going around the whole Reno Events Center and said to a small group of us 'What are you doing here?!' My step dad said he was waiting for his wife to get the car and we're going home. I wish I could of gone back for Joe, Sav, and Vivian. =(

Aside from that, thank you Joe, Phil, Sav, Rick, and Viv for another great show, please come back soon! And thank you Phil and Rick for coming out to sign autographs, chat to us a bit, and take pictures! Thank you THANK YOU Mal, for giving that thing to Sav for me and helping me hold the Union Jack flag for Rick and I! Sav, that doll is from my near and dear best friend who couldn't make it to see ya this year, hope her and I can see you next year!

Hope ya like yer AC/DC tee shirt Rick! Oh Phil. . . got that belt I gave ya in Marisville, California?! Oh and Joe, I have something for ya too! Just wish I coulda said hi to ya again and given my gift to ya, I'll keep it for ya until we meet again! Are ya folks ready for 2007 already. . .I know I am, and hopefully I will have concert pictures next time to follow this review!
