Lincoln, NE - Media Review Quotes

By L. Kent Wolgamott

But the band unveiled a song from its forthcoming album, a harmony- and hook-filled chugger called "Let's Go" that demonstrated, if nothing else, that it isn't just a nostalgia act.

In fact, Def Leppard was as good as I've ever seen Sunday. Joe Elliott was in fine voice -- and can still hit all the notes. The harmonies made the ballads soar. The guitars were thick, powerful and in the leads of Phil Collen, biting and flying.

From "Foolin'" to "Armageddon It," through the throbbing cover of "Rock On" and Elliott's solo acoustic singalong of "Two Steps Behind," the punch of "Rock It" and the balladry of "Bringing on the Heartache," to the run of hits that closed the show more than an hour and a half later, Def Leppard delivered just what the crowd came to hear.

"Good evening, Lincoln, Nebraska," said lead singer Joe Elliott, as he surveyed the crowd. "This is a big… place, this is."

As the band worked through its bevy of hits — "Rocket," "Hysteria," "Love Bites" and Bringin' on the Heartbreak" among them — Elliott was an engaging frontman that led the band through its thundering charge.

Bodybuilder/lead guitarist Phil Collen was fun to watch as he ripped through tons of riffs and runs. One-armed drummer Rick Allen might be better than his fully-limbed peers. And guitarist Vivian Campbell and bassist Rick Savage are the backbone of the band's biggest and most recognizable riffs.
