Def Leppard | September 19, 2015 By Alan Snodgrass

"During the set, each band member got their moment in the spotlight. Rick Savage took center stage for a thumping bass solo intro into Rock On. Similarly Rick Allen kicked off Switch 625 sitting low behind a surprisingly compact kit, his fancy footwork on the solo thankfully visible on the big screen due to a number of cameras connected around his drums. Elliott offered up the funniest moment of the evening when he stepped up with his acoustic guitar and started playing San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair) but cutting it short, “Fuck that flowers in your hair shit. That was 1969,” and welcoming the fans to join him on Two Steps Behind. As the final notes rang out, Elliot screamed, “GUITAR,” which broke the crowd and the band out of their acoustic lull as the band broke into Rocket."
