The Sound System was amazingly great for the concert dome we were in. Saw alot of other bands in the Agridome over the yrs & the sound quality wasn't as good. Anyhow, they played many of their older/newer hits...Right up to the end of the 2 hr show. These Are Some Of The Songs They Played:
Rock It, Foolin', Armeggedon, Pour Some Sugar On Me, Love Bites, Rock Of Ages, ETC.......
I Was Rocking down the dome & almost lost my voice and well, it was all good. I didn't dance until we went next door to a Cabaret to watch another band 'SOLUTION' (which I found I've known for many yrs growing up) the lead guitarist....Their band was awesome but they need a new singer. Monotone! Same voice octaves for every song  ! Well, gotta run for supper but I'll bbl tonight...... |

Def Leppard one big hit
Gerry Krochak
Special to The Regina Leader-Post Newspaper
Monday, September 15, 2003

Joe Elliott and the rest of Def Leppard rocked Regina on Saturday night at the Agridome.
DEF LEPPARD Plays AGRIDOME In Regina, Saskatchewan:
Just three days after '80's hair-metal mongoloids Poison invaded the Agridome, veteran British rockers Def Leppard showed their mettle to a near sell-out crowd of 6,500 onlookers who were living in the past and loving every minute of it.
Twenty years, two months and one severed arm after the group last played the big orange barn, Def Leppard pulled out all stops on a full-blown arena rock extravaganza that pounded the giddy crowd of 20-, 30- and 40-somethings into submission with one hit after another in rapid-fire succession.
The songs have stood the test of time rather well and it was fitting that 44-year-old singer Joe Elliott would salute the crowd with a snippet of The Who's "My Generation" in the middle of his own group's monster hit "Rocket," about two-thirds the way through his band's 105-minute set.
Def Leppard comes from a time when things like singing and playing were important; if the group didn't receive its due as players in the '80s, it deserved full marks for tightness and musicality on Saturday night. Really.
Nearly a year after this tour started, the group was lively and energetic (if not a little paunchy) from the get-go. Elliott, sounding slightly hoarse as a result of the current jaunt which has taken the band to destinations including India and Russia, had the crowd eating out his hand early with punchy melodic rockers such as "Let It Go," "Stagefright," "Make Love Like A Man" and "Bringin' On The Heartbreak" from the 1981 album High 'N Dry.
Clapping, cheering, singing and dancing as opposed to head-banging, the majority of the crowd was on its feet from the opening chord until the final bow. They were clearly ready for a good old-fashioned rock show -- and they got one. Topical matter was light and fun (what did you expect from a group who night after night, in all seriousness, sings the lyric, "You got the peaches I got the cream") and quite frankly, just what the doctor ordered on this late summer evening. Kitschy? No question. And despite some dopey lyrical content, Def Leppard is rarely cheesy.
Moving back and forth across the massive stage lit up with brilliant shades of blue, green, purple, red and white, Elliott led guitarists Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell, bassist Rick Savage and drummer Rick Allen through heavy doses of Pyromania and Hysteria, including the hits "Foolin' " "Too Late For Love" and the title track from Hysteria, before launching into the title cut from the band's 1996 commercial dud, Slang.
After the acoustic interlude of Two Steps Behind, (from Retro Active) and "Now" (from last year's X comeback), the group got back on track in a big way with "Women," the aforementioned "Rocket" and the Marilyn Monroe-inspired nugget and breakthrough hit, "Photograph."
The crowd was going wild and the band only threw gasoline on the fire with "Animal," "Armageddon It" and "Pour Some Sugar On Me" to conclude the main set in spectacular fashion.
The leather-lunged throng roared long and loud before Elliott walked back up to the microphone and promised that, "If after 20 years, you're still cheering like this ... we'll be back again and again."
The crowd was rewarded with "Rock Of Ages" and "Let's Get Rocked."
Walking out through the front doors of the 'Dome at night's end, you couldn't help but get the feeling a show here in 2023 seems entirely possible.
Saddled with the tough job of warming up a gathering which was still finding their way from the bar to their seats, heavily-tattooed Irishman Ricky Warwick earned polite applause for his 25-minute hard acoustic set. Leppard guitarist Viv Campbell joined him on his forthcoming single, "Three Sides To Every Story."
Seems fair to say that Warwick earned himself a few sales for his Elliott-produced debut album, which hits the stores Sept. 23.

« Reply #13 on: Dec 13th, 2003, 06:37am By: ED HUNTER »IRON MAIDEN 12TH DECEMBERLast night was one the greatest experiences ive ever had. But before i go into that, i'd like to comment on the opening band Funeral for a friend. All i can say is that they are probably the poorest excuse for a rock band ive ever seen, complete shit. The crowd really hated them and gave them "a piece of their mind" between each song which i found amusing. ;D But then the lights go out, the whole arena start chanting "MAIDEN MAIDEN MAIDEN" and then in one quick explosion, they are all on stage. They started with the opening trck from their latest album, wildest dreams, which got everyone singing and then to keep the fast pace going, Wrathchild, which seemed to go really quickly but was great anyway. They then played Can i play with madness and then the Trooper which i thought was a really good way to start a show, 4 short fast paced songs. Then the song which was probably one of the main hgihlights for me, Dance of death which was introduced with a poem which i cant really remember but the song was just amzing, the first 2-3 minutes was all slow singing which i really liked and then the song really gets going, 8 minutes of just amzing guitar work and vocals. The rest of the show was also really great, they played alot of classics including Fear of the dark, Hallowed be thy name, Number of the beast and they closed with Run to the hills which worked really well. Good points: I was in the front row throughout the whole show. The sound from all the instruments excpet one guitar was perfect. Bruce's voice was so powerful and he put alot into all the songs. Just an amazing experience. UP THE IRONS!
