Motley Crue and Def Leppard with Poison
Possibly the most hard-rocking tour ever!
Why see Motley Crue and Def Leppard with Poison?
Stadium tour 2022
Heavy metal hellraisers Motley Crue have never been a group to play by the rules and it looks like this legendary outfit are still up to their old antics as head on a new Stadium tour, five years after their definitely-the-end Farewell jaunt wrapped up! This awesome resurrection sees the boys joined by some of their finest peers, including Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett. If that's not enough for fans to forgive, we don't know what is...
Motley Crue
Riding the first wave of glam metal, the band formed in 1981 and quickly gained a reputation for their hedonistic lifestyle and rock'n'roll personas - tattoos, prison stints and drugs, these guys have seen and done it all. With a back catalog comprised of 9 lick-laden, hard-rocking studio albums and a penchant for an over-the-top live show, Crue are true legends of Rock.
Def Leppard
Titans of the 80's British Heavy-Metal revival and progenitors of contemporary Pop Metal Def Leppard have never let anything stand in their way, even their drummer Rick Allen losing an arm to a car accident. Overcoming this with a custom kit and a new style of drumming, the band surged on to create the album 'Hysteria', which hit 12 times platinum in US sales and sold over 20 million copies worldwide.
Poison
Hair-metal icons and Pennsylvania natives Poison have been rocking hard since 1983. No strangers to touring with both Def Leppard and the 'Crue, they've been on the road extensively for the better part of the last decade. Whilst the line up may change (still led by frontman Bret Michaels) the soul and glam-rock spirit is more present than ever!
Joan Jett
Since co-founding pioneering all-girl punk outfit The Runaways in 1975, Joan Jett has marched, and played flaming rock riffs, to the beat of her own drum, emerging as one of the most important and influential female figures in rock and roll history. Never allowing her gender to overtake the agenda, Jett broke through to the mainstream with stripped-down, good old fashioned, loud and hook-laden songwriting and continues to rule the stage with her backing band the Blackhearts, with whom she released seminal cover 'I Love Rock 'n Roll' in 1982.

Mosty Great Evening of Music
Like others have noted, the sound mix was off and on... but, mostly off. They should have taken the time between acts to rebalance, but sadly did not. Despite that, the show was great. Joan Jett was what you'd expect: fun, rebellious, and badass. Poison was terrific. Brett Michaels was full of energy and seemed genuinely happy to be home in PA. Def Leppard was great for the most part. However, if there was a downer to the show, the band's decision to include four songs nobody knows and inexplicably leave songs like "Let's Get Rocked" off of their setlist was a letdown. They played wonderfully, and Joe Elliott's singing was tight, but the setlist brought down the overall performance. Now, Motley Crue absolutely crushed as closers. The energy was great as you'd expect. Vince Neil's voice was not as awful as I'd been led to believe it might be, and the rest of the band played loudly and proudly. The Crue was unabashedly themselves and could not have done a better show closing the show. ... Read more

First Concert
I've waited for two-three years with my dad to see these bands rock it out on the stage. Was it worth it? Let's see:
Joan Jett - She sounded a tad worn, but I can still feel the passion she had what she did, plus I loved the songs they played. Good start.
Poison - Probably the best of the four. Bret had such great energy and interaction and setlist was equally fantastic.
Motley Crue - My favorite band, but... I do think the sound system wasn't needed because the instruments drowned out the singing. I still had fun, but I won't lie, I feel for Vince, he needs a break. Plus, some segments kind of turned me off...
Def Leppard - Almost as good as Poison, but the setlist could've been slightly better. Also, I do feel like with Motley, they didn't need the extra bass either.
Overall? I had a great time! Even if Motley was a little too bombastic and rowdy, this was definitely one night to remember! ... Read more
