Wow!Ā I donāt think I can recall a show that hit me more in the feels than this one.Ā This is my go to band for all the songs that I know and love.Ā This band proves you donāt necessarily need flames, spinning drum sets, or over the top light effects because when music is as good as theirs you just donāt need it.
So Doll normally gets dragged along to concerts that I want to go to since most of her concerts happen in other towns to groups you canāt understand but are permanently hypnotizing.Ā She likes Def Leppard like I ālikeā the Red Hot Chili Peppers but she really dug the show.
So I really donāt need to fully describe this show since everything went so smoothly (for once) so Iāll get down to what I loved about it the most: Rick Allen!Ā Are you a Def fan?Ā Then you know about Rick Allen.Ā Heās kinda the guy that got the band soberish.Ā For those of you who donāt know, in the mid 80ās Rick Allen lost his left arm in a car accident.Ā He is the drummer for Def and had to learn to play using synthesizers and foot pedals.Ā In the 80ās it was almost a sin for a āmetalā band to use electric drums and synth instruments.Ā Rick was one of the few whom no one would make fun of for that.Ā He is a spectacular drummer and musician and I watched the video of his comeback after the accident.Ā His band mates called him āThe Thunder Godā and I couldnāt agree more.Ā He did a solo drum set and I was floored and more happy than you could know!
My other happy moments came at the beginning of every song.Ā Joe Elliot still sounds just as good as he did 30 years ago and every performance was done with ease and pride.Ā With that I have nothing abnormal for you guys to know about, which is weird for any concert Doll and I attend, I will just leave this post saying that even if you didnāt like then much before go see a show!Ā This was a bucket list concert!
Def Leppard at Jacksonville VeteranāsĀ Arena Wow!Ā I don't think I can recall a show that hit me more in the feels than this one.Ā
