I'm going to see Def Leppard/Bryan Adams today!

The concert is in Brooklyn. It's going to be an 80's night!

HAVE FUN!!!

I still think that's a VERY odd mix of 80s artists, but I'd totally be down for the show.

We expect a full review tomorrow!

That was my first thought...thrown together like those celeb-reality shows.

And thanks Nick.

Just looked the show up. I didn't know that there was life that far out in Brooklyn. When did this happen?

What an awesome night!!!!

Bryan opened the show at 7:30 with "One Night Love Affair". He then went into countless hits like: Somebody, This Time, Cuts like a Knife, Run To You, Kids Wanna Rock, It's Only Love, Everything I Do, When You're Gone, The Only Thing That Looks Good...,etc.

The encore songs were just Bryan alone on acoustic guitar singing "Straight Through The Heart", and "All for Love" (that was the song he recorded with Sting and Rod Stewart).

It's like time stands still for this guy, he looked like a kid up there. His voice was as strong as ever. He is such a great entertainer. His show ends shortly before 9PM.

At about 9:30 Def Leppard hits the stage. They opened with a song I was not familiar with called "Piece of the action", or something like that.
From then on, it was all known hits like: Lets Get Rocked, Foolin', Rock Of Ages, Photograph, Love Bites, Armageddon it, Rocket, Animal, Hysteria, etc.

The encore songs were "Bringin' On the Heartbreak", and "Pour Some Sugar On Me".
Joe Elliot surprisingly can still hit those high notes. The show ends shortly before 11PM.

All in all a great set by both acts. The bands were tight, and the crowd was loving them. Thank God the weather was perfect last night.

This was my official "Saturday Night 80's", like WPLJ in NY does each week. biggrin

This was a baseball field where the Cyclones play. I believe it was called Keyspan Park, right in the heart of Coney Island.
