On the 26th of june i was extremly privileged to go with a friend to see two of my favourite bands as wembley arena. Def Leppard and Whitesnake are two of the biggest bands from the 80's and with famous songs such as 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' and 'Here I Go Again' they were destined to raise the roof!
Supporting them were a Southern/Hard Rock band from Edmonton, Kentucky. The amount of energy they put into there performance was amazing, and although the sound was not as good for them as it was for Def Lepp and Whitesnake they put on a good show. There songs may not be as catchy but stand out songs were 'Lonely Train' and 'Blind Man'.
Then it was time for the first big hitter Whitesnake. From the first drum beat of the opener 'Best Years' to the final guitar chord of 'Still Of The Night' they were amazing. Lead Singer David Coverdale was in fantastic voice (along with crude humour), Guitarists Doug Aldrich and Reb Beach were in superb form whilst Bassist Uriah Duffy, Drummer Chris Frazier and Timothy Drury on the keys carried out there jobs brilliantly. The best song of there set was the Heavy Metal crunch of 'Fool For Your Loving' proving that old bands can still rock...and rock harder then they did in there youth!
Now for the band which i was looking foward to the most...Def Leppard! With Whitesnake rocking everybody's socks of, Def Leppard has a hard task, but one they handled with brilliantly. They kicked of with 'Rocket' from the 'Hysteria' album, and supported by an amazing screen show blasted through hit after hit. As with Whitesnake, they were not scared to show of some new material from there new album with 'Nine Lives' and 'C'mon, C'mon' getting played. There set finnished with 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' and the suprisning set finnisher 'Rock Of Ages' and everyone was left with there ears ringing (for a good reason)!
Seeing as this was my first ever concert, i will always be biased but this was one of the greatest experiences of my life!
