That's the concert ticket at an upcoming show in Rochester. The tagline "everything you could want in a concert." I don't even know how to respond to this pairing.

Chicago did a tour with Velvet Underground back in the 70s.

Bryan Adams would probably say 'Can't stop this thing we started'.

Apparently they decided to stop dicking around and wasting everyone's time. Adams will play Summer of '69 and Def Leppard will play Pour some sugar on me. End of concert.

Def Leppard rocks. Seen them several times, but it's been a while.

Don't forget "Stairway to Heaven" & "Heaven" back to back... or at the same time, I dunno...

I'm pretty sure Stairway to Heaven was by a different band...

Def Leppard is great in concert. And Bryan Adams has (had?) some cool songs before he became gay or whatever happened to him. Heaven was the song my wife and I danced to at our wedding

I believe Stairway to Heaven was Led Zepplin

Bryan Adams was the first true concert I ever saw, back in 1983. Survivor opened. You know how he has a decent but scratchy recorded voice? Live, forget the decent and upgrade scratchy to meat grinder. He sounded horrible.

Of course, that was over 20 years ago, so I'm sure his voice has gotten better.

ironically, my first concert was the other big Canadian singer of the time...Corey Hart, with Katrina & the Waves opening up.

The ultimate one-hit-wonder. Did they play "Walking on Sunshine" 10 times, or what? :D

I believe Kodos stated in another threat that he is going to this concert. I can't wait to get his report.

Ya THINK?

I remember it. They'd always play it at the end of middle school dances. Like 8 minutes of slow dancing and then 2-3 minutes of confusion about what to do at the end.

It wasn't a "threat" -- I'm going. I like Bryan Adams, and Def Leppard is my favorite band. Sign me up! :D

Heh - that was a surprisingly appropriate typo on my part. And I'm with you on Leppard - Pyromania is one of my all-time favorite rock albums. Enjoy!

This reminds me of the "Beavis & Butthead" episode in which they had to scam tickets from Stuart to go to a "Monsters of Metal" concert that featured something like Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeath...and Color Me Bad. Always cracked me up.

I saw Def Leppard in 1989 or 90 and they had Richard Marx opening for them. It was a little strange but everyone I went with was in shock how good all his musicians were. I will stop short of saying he was good but he certainly was better then we all expected.

I don't know ... can you top a John Denver concert with special opening guest Foreigner? And we're not talking a 1989 concert with power ballad Foreigner -- we're talking late 1970s "Dirty White Boy" Foreigner. They were booed off the stage by the John Denver fans.

If you added Shania Twain to the Bryan Adams/Def Leppard bill you would get the musical jam of Mutt Lange's wet dreams.

How about Jimi Hendrix opening for...the Monkees - an all-time classic pairing.

Def Leppard and Bryan Adams isn't really that outlandish a pairing. Even though Def Leppard got lumped into the heavy metal category, they've long considered themselves more of a pop band with a rock-n-roll edge. And Bryan Adams pretty much tried to emulate Def Leppard after the success of Hysteria. The "Waking Up The Neighbours" album sounds very Leppardy, which makes sense because Mutt Lange produced it.

It's probably no coincidence that I enjoy Shania Twain's music too. :D
