Def Leppard still has it!
by Tor2112 on 2009-07-24Molson Amphitheatre - TorontoRating: 4 out of 5This was a great show for all those who want to remember back to those great glam rock and metal days of the late 1980's. Def Leppard still has that signature sound that made them huge hit makers. I have seen the band a couple of times now and they do not disappoint. The sound at the Amphitheater was great and played to their strengths. Poison was a good prelude to the main attraction but seemed very outclassed by Def Leppard. They did sound pretty good but almost seemed like a caricature of what the band was in the 80's (I was a huge fan back then). Their chemistry seemed a little contrived and you could sense some tension between Bret and the rest of the band. The big surprise for me was Cheap Trick. I have never been a fan of the band and thought they would just be there to keep people entertained while they found their seats but they were great. Very tight and up tempo. The highlight of their set was a version of "A Day In The Life" by the Beatles. It was Awesome!
