Oklahoma City, OK - Media Review Quotes

By Heather Warlick

After a short break, Def Leppard took control of the stage with "Rocket." Joe Elliott's vocals were right on, but even more impressive was the band's power. Rick Savage's deep bass pounded through the amphitheater and Rick Allen's rhythm made me forget that he was pulling it off with only one arm. Phil Collen played his guitar like his life depended on it.

"Animal" kept the crowd salivating and "Stand Up" proved that the audience was still excitable. "Love Bites" offered another chance for fans to pull out their lighters and cell phones, though, judging by the various smoke flavors mingling in the air, the lighters were used for more than just showing the band love.

"Hysteria" validated the band's motto: Still hysterical after all these years. But the real magic sparked with "Pour Some Sugar On Me," when audience members had already lost most of their inhibitions, melting into a virtual orgy of rock 'n' roll lovers. On that climactic note, the band left the stage.
