Thrust, Def Leppard review...

I've have recently just attended Def Leppard's "Thrust" tour show last Monday and I have to say, it just may have been the best DL concert I have ever attended.



The seats could have been better as Danica and I were sitting 10 row from the stage but way over to Viv's side. The "thrust" was useless to us as we couldn't see anyone performing on it due to of our lack of height. But, 1/2 way into the performance we decided to join our boardie friends who took the liberty of standing in front of the stage even before DL came out. I originally thought they were going to be shooed back to their seats by security but luckily weren't so Trisha was kind enough to let Danica stand in front of her so that she was directly under Viv when he played.

Although, Joe's voice did seem strained during those occasional high vocals, he was graciously backed up by the band and nobody seemed to mind except for the critics. Musically, they were undeniably infallible. Brilliant.

The boardies all met at the Marina Grille before the show. Janeen (Mama) and hubby Steve, Kathy (Z'smom), Trisha (Rambo), Tami (Civic), Karie (New75) and her friend Doreen and who could forget Louisa (Weasel).
Gordon also made his introduction by asking if he had found where the Celine Dion convention was taking place. Cheeky bugger. ;) We all had a great time asking him questions and saying goodbye even after the concert had ended. I really wished he could meet us at the Sarnia show this Saturday. A real genuine guy....and definately more handsome and gracious than I would have imagined him to be on-line.

Kathy and hubby Eric, Trisha and Tami are going to be meeting Danica and I on Saturday in line. I just hope we get there early enough to be one of the first ones in.
