These hopes were definitely met, as Whitesnake delivered a slimmed-down set compared to their usual festival slots, which worked miracles as there were no fillers heard throughout the whole slot. Great gig altogether, I hadn't seen Def Leppard or Whitesnake for the better part of a decade and had high hopes walking into the venue. Whoever was sick I do hope that they recover from their illness soon and grow stronger over the next year. And I hope to be alive next year so that I can try again to see three of my favorite bands. I'm truly saddened that I didn't get to see the Concert of Concerts.
Are these bands even going to be alive then? Hell, will I be? Only the gods know. Now I find out that the Concert has been Postponed till January of 2017.
For I believe that they knew that one of the band members was I'll way prior to the Concert. Common courtesy would have been for the Concert promoter to have issued a cancelation notice at least 24hrs prior to the Concert. It's truly sad that the Concert was canceled the night of the event. But we find out that the Concert has been canceled due to "illness". Thinking that we were still going to get to see three of our favorite bands and enjoy the rest of our night. Heading to the Concert, Me and my girlfriend got into a car accident on I-4 heading to Orlando. Prepared for a month to go see Def Leppard, Styx, and Tesla at the new Amway Center in Orlando Florida on January 30th at 7:00pm. Perhaps the biggest attraction, though, remains Rick Allen behind the kit - surely the world’s finest one-armed drummer, having overcome the loss of his left arm in a car accident back in the eighties to earn the nickname - from Leppard fans - of The Thunder God, and not without reason. Joe Elliott’s vocals are holding up nicely, despite decades of relentless touring - he’s one of only two original members - whilst Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell are by no means shy of a solo. Onstage, though, it’s very much business as usual an impressive light show incorporates giant screens with visuals behind the band, but otherwise it’s largely left to the musicianship to take centre stage.
Things, admittedly, have slowed down on the studio front their last record, Songs from the Sparkle Lounge was released back in 2008 and met with a tepid reception, although a new full-length is being promised for 2015. In the world of hard rock, they remain titans more than thirty-five years after their formation in Sheffield on their own tours, too, they frequent arenas, with a fervent cult fanbase.

In case you aren’t convinced about Def Leppard’s present-day pulling power, consider this in both 20, they headlined Download Festival. Their most successful album came in the form of "Hysteria", released in 1987 considered on of the most successful bands of the ‘New Wave of British Heavy Metal’ in the 80s in the UK. This success brought the band back to likeness in America where they then went on to tour, opening for Ozzy Osbourne and Blackfoot. Impressively, Def Leppard's video for "Bringin' On the Heartbreak" became one of the first metal videos played on MTV in 1982.
However, after their release of their second album in 1981, named "High 'n' Dry", they began to find their feet and get to grips with their own original sound. This came after fans were angry that the band were conforming to please an American market, being disloyal to their local roots. Despite this success, the band performed at Reading Festival where they were greeted with unhappy fans who pelted beer cans and bottles filled with urine at them on stage. The band's success came in the 80s when they released their debut album, "On Through the Night", which successfully reached the 'Top 15' in the UK. This is the band's longest-standing line-up. Def Leppard have had a mix up of members, since 1992 they have consisted of Rick Savage on bass guitar and backing vocals, Joe Elliott who is the lead vocalist, Rick Allen playing the drums, Phil Collen on the guitar, and Vivian Campbell also on the guitar.
