Okay,  it was AWESOME! We got there and Jen & I were soooo excited! We brought a nice camera in because a sign said that there was just no flash photography or professional cameras so we thought, okay then we just won't use the flash. So we were taking pictures before the show started and some stupid security came and made us put the camera in the office and the only alternative we had if we wanted some sort of memory from pictures was the $20 throw away camera, *highway robbery!*, but at least we had something. The opening "guy" played a bit, he was pretty good but since it was just him and an acoustic guitar (which takes guts to do, and I admire him for being able to do that) just all the songs sounded the same and I think he just dropped the "F-bomb" on us too much, but he was cool. We went to where some of our friends' seats were and said "hi" to them and then the house lights went off so we ran to our seats.

"Disintigrate" was the 'opening song', they weren't really playing it but it was on while they were getting on stage. As soon as they started playing, Jen & I were dying! We went down a few rows from where our seats were (which was about 2nd row) and watched a bit of the concert from there. OMG, Sav looked so FREAKIN hot!! His pants were oh so tight and after a few shows they were fallin' off, and he had a tight tank top on and just looked fabulous! Joe looked really good too, very cute! Rick was so awesome up there on the drums, he really is the "Thunder god"! Phil & Viv played fabulously too!  After BOTH it went into "Switch 625" and Jen & I DIED!  It was so great to hear the first 5 songs off of High 'n' Dry, I love that album!   It wasn't Steve but it was still fantastic.  They didn't do anything off of Retro or Slang. They did "Promises". And Joe announced that he's finally given in (being out voted by the rest of the band) that the new album is X as in "ex" not "ten". So they did "Now", "You're So Beautiful", "LLWTG", "4 Letter Word".

Man they just ROCKED! Every song was so pumped and just ROCKIN'! They blew the roof off the joint! We got 2 waves from Sav, one from Joe and like 3 from Phil! I just can't express how fun it was! My first Def Leppard concert was FREAKIN AWESOME!! I can't wait to see 'em again!   And they ended with one of my most favourite songs..."Let's Get Rocked".  After it was over I thought I was going to pass out! I couldn't feel my legs or my throat, and I had the worst headache...but it was all definitely worth it! They guys looked like they were happy and having a great time, (they have awesome stage presence!) and we were having a great time, it was just wonderful!  THANKS GUYS! *Rach
