Star Tribune - Media Review Quotes

Beefcakey guitarist Phil Collen came out shirtless with wraparound sunglasses. Bassist Rick Savage wore a pink “Miami Vice”-like blazer. And frontman Joe Elliott coolly strutted out onto the thrust stage in opening tune “Rocket” and whipped around his healthy mane of blonde hair.

Alas, Elliott’s vocals didn’t sound as natural as his hair looked. He hoarsely worked through other hits early in the band’s 90-minute set such as “Animal” and “Foolin’,” but whenever the songs’ big, ultra-polished choruses came around, the vocals somehow sounded bigger than ever.
