Def Leppard Rocks the Mandalay!

September 25th, 2007

What a night last Saturday was, i went over to the Mandalay Bay to see a classic rock lineup; Foreigner, Styx and the mighty Leppard! Foreigner warmed things up with some unrecognisable tunes apart from Cold as Ice, but they did give a cracking live performance, Styx were notably similar and i’ve never been a big fan, although the American audience seemed to enjoy them.

Anyway the Leppard rolled out around 9.30 and took the place by storm. After far too many (light!) beers, i payed tribute to the rock royalty by going big in a full rock-style fit to a classic set-list including Rocket, Animal, Hysteria & Love Bites.

They were really awesome live, but saved the best till last and blew the roof off with Pour Some Sugar on Me! Classic. Sounds like a good night you think? That’s only the start of it!

After the concert i headed to the bar in the Mandalay Bay and after busting some moves on the floor, my new found friends from Nebraska got very excited and pointed me in the direction of the bar, great my round again!

So, as i’m wondering round the bar who do i bump into having a beer? Yep, it’s only bloody Joe Elliot! So i gave it some general ramblings about Sheffield and the great nation of Yorkshire and the H is drinking beers with a Rock legend! After that its pretty blurry, but it was a pretty late night so much so that i felt awful for the Rehab pool party, although don’t despair, i still made it….
