Detroit, MI - Media Review Quotes

Def Leppard @ Joe Louis Arena By Detroit Free Press

They have one foot firmly planted in commercial pop with the other treading the line of teenage rebellion and the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll philosophy that's always defined the best heavy metal.Def Leppard's enthusiasm and often unruly, faithful were on their feet from the start of 'Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop) through the encore of Creedence Clearwater Revival's 'Travellin' Band' and Led Zeppelin's 'Rock 'n' Roll''

A 16-song, 115-minute orgy of loud music for the faithful.

The first hour was solid, showcasing the best songs.

After that, things started to get repetitious as well.

The songs 'Let It Go', 'Wasted' and 'Stagefright' sounded redundant, and solo spots by live-wire guitarists Phil Collen and Steve Clark were indulgent.

By Detroit Free Press 1983.
