Massive hats off to Def Leppard here for a great gig at Warsaw Torwar last night.
Must say that I mainly went to the gig for a bit of nostalgia, having seen Def Leppard a few times 'back in the day' (at Manchester Apollo in 1980, 1981 and1983; and Castle Donington in 1986).
But was completely bowled over by the band's high energy and enthusiasm (and the amazing light show too). Indeed, the band were no less energetic than when I'd first seen them at Manchester Apollo on the 'On Through the Night'; 'High n' Dry' and 'Pyromania' tours back in the early 1980s.
And my favourite tunes of the evening? Well, 'Bringin' on the Heartbreak' is possibly my favourite Def Leppard tune, so I was always going to enjoy that, and the band nailed it. Besides this, it was good to hear the 'Hysteria' ('Love Hurts'; 'Hysteria'; 'Pour Some Sugar on Me'; 'Animal') tunes live.
Moreover, the band were always going to do the anthemic 'Rock of Ages' (don't usually like anthemic-type tunes but this one is fine) and bow out with 'Photograph' (like the way the band pictorially look back in/on time here):
So once again, hats off to Def Leppard today, as I thoroughly enjoyed the show last night.
