Reno, NV - Media Review Quotes

By David Jacobs

With this summer marking MTV's 25th birthday, the timing seemed perfect for a supergroup concert doubleheader Sunday night in downtown Reno.

A near sellout crowd estimated at 6,850 jammed the Reno Events Center to hear Journey and Def Leppard. Some fans even wore Iron Maiden, Guns N' Roses, AC/DC or Judas Priest T-shirts to remember the era.

Center security staffers tried their best to keep the aisles clear. But by the time Def Leppard wrapped up the night with "Pour Some Sugar On Me," the first 10 rows had turned into a giant dance floor.

"There will be a next time," singer Joe Elliott promised the crowd as the concert ended.

Earlier, Elliott told the audience he couldn't remember the last time Def Leppard had performed in Reno. "We apologize for not being here for so long," he said.
