Charlotte, NC, USA - Media Review Quotes

By Courtney Devores

I never went to a rock concert in 1981, but after Saturday's Journey/Def Leppard double-header, I feel like I have.

Jani Lane, the Warrant singer whose substance-abuse problem became reality TV on VH1's "Celebrity Fit Club" last season, plays Amos' Saturday. (8:30 p.m., $12). I doubt he'll put on the same caliber show as Def Leppard and Journey, but songs such as "Down Boys" and "Cherry Pie" may transport you back to high school cruising the mall parking lot.

There's freedom in recapturing simpler youth in song. When I heard the first notes of both Def Leppard's "Hysteria" and "Love Bites," I got butterflies. Suddenly I regressed into a lovelorn 12-year-old girl with an unrequited crush listening to my headphones in the back of Mom's Oldsmobile.
