Tuesday, August 14, 2018
A triple billing of Def Leppard, Journey, and Cheap Trick provided some good old fashioned rock and roll on Saturday at Fenway Park. Foul weather did not deter a sellout crowd from enjoying the three powerhouse bands’ night of memorable rock.
The evening began with Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Cheap Trick opening up with a solid set of their hits “Dream Police,” “Surrender,” and their eponymous “I Want You to Want Me.” Founding members Rick Nielsen and Tom Petersson got the crowd going with their trademark level of high energy.
Def Leppard followed, led by founding member Joe Elliott. The band, with longtime members Rick Allen (drums), Phil Collen (guitar), Rick Savage (bass), and Vivian Campbell (guitar), performed a strong set including fan favorites “Rock of Ages,” “Bringin’ on the Heartbreak,” “Photograph,” and their signature “Pour Some Sugar on Me.”
