Nottingham, England - Media Review Quotes

By Martin Cooper

Def Leppard were quick to emphasise that it was the last night of the tour and they were here to party. Animal and the excellent Nine Lives from the new album Songs From The Sparkle Lounge quickly set the mood.

When Love and Hate Collide proved that stadium rock is flourishing more than ever.

Lead singer Joe Elliott's chat about the noise levels of crowds in London, Belfast and Sheffield was mildly interesting but dragged on for a little too long. The band soon excelled again, pumping out Hysteria, the outrageous sentiments of Pour Some Sugar On Me and Rock of Ages.

Let's Get Rocked proved a powerful finale as Elliott told the masses that it had been the group's best summer tour.

But there was only one winner on the night ... the crowd who were blasted into submission by a double barrage of never-say-die rock by two thoroughbred bands who know how to please.

Def Leppard got their set underway with 'Rocket' and treated us lucky fans to nearly two hours worth of pure stadium rock anthems. The loyal fans had their senses assaulted with a barrage of sing-a-long anthems, such as 'When Love And Hate Collide', 'Pour Some Sugar On Me', 'Make Love Like A Man'.

Joe Elliott was making full use of the oversized stage and its gigantic runway, he bounced and pounced from one side to the other to ensure all of the fans got a good view of the band, even it was for a few short seconds at a time.

There is no denying that their music is still some of the best British rock music ever, songs like 'Hysteria' will always have a special place in rock music history.
