r&p: concert review #2!?

Question

second concert of the year this evening, one that i was looking forward to as one of the best shows of the year: def leppard, with openers cheap trick and poison

cheap trick led off the show, and i didn't think they were any better than last year when we saw them touring with journey, and they were disappointing then...while i'm not a big cheap trick fan by any means, i do think they're decent and wish that robin zander's voice wasn't as shot as it seems to be, and that version of don't be cruel makes me want to punch something every time i hear it, i don't know how it became a hit

as for poison, i feel bad for cc deville, caught in a band with 3 total hacks...their performance, for me, began and ended with their rendition of every rose has its thorn

def leppard was better than expected, i came in worrying if joe elliott still had it in him but he sounded as good as ever...they put on one of the better concerts i've ever seen, and they did a cool sing-along to bringin' on the heartbreak which is my favorite song of theirs by far

so, what are your thoughts on these bands?

Aww, its cool that you got to see that concert! I sorta wanted to go, but only had enough money for Aerosmith. And plus I am not a very big fan of any of them, but it would have been really cool to see them, just because they're so classic, you know?

=(  It's a bummer Cheap Trick wasn't that good :-(
I agree with you on Poison
But at least the main act ( Def Leppard ) was good!  Im glad that you liked them!!

Yea, Adam's work is deeply appreciated.  In the beginning of the day I thought it was going quite well, actually.  Thanks Adam =)

I've never seen any of those bands live before but I am generally angered when I Want You To Want Me live version comes on the radio.  Pretty sure I've sprained my finger jabbing at the buttons in a furious effort to change the station.

Poison, eh they could be good if they still have the energy.

Def Leppard,as long as they played Bringing On The Heartbreak, I'd be sold on them.

Go Yankees. 


Well I saw cheap trick with Journey too and they were awesome. Not as good as Budokan but they were very good.

I love Poison. I always will. People give them alot of crap because Bret Michaels is an a** but I think C.C. is one of the best guitarists of all time.

Def Leppard is my second favorite band and I think they can do no wrong.

I'm seeing the same concert August 31.
