10 Legs + 9 Arms = 1 Rockin British 80's Arena Band. Audri and I spent our Sunday evening celebrating our 5th Wedding Anniversary ( Thanks to Aunt Lulu and Cousin Lindsay for watching Darcy ). We started our evening with a delicious dinner at a fine steakhouse- then chased it with what had to be the greatest concert we have ever attended together ( ie. I saw MC Hammer as a kid so that does not qualify.) Def Leppard rocked the Biloxi crowed with leather bedazzled pants, 80's hair, topless guitar players and swweeet emotion. Our concert checklist includes... Radiohead, Wilco, Coldplay, Josh Rouse, John Mayer, Sigur Ros, Interpol, Damien Rice, and mannnnny others but none compared to the night that was Def Leppard. I honestly don't even remember what they opened with because it was something new that I've never heard but the list included Photograph, Rock of Ages, Pour Some Sugar On Me, Foolin', a song called Yeah!, and other classics. For the hour and thirty five minutes they played I felt like a seven year old in my present body, ala BIG. There was some dancing from old white folk that it was almost painful to not watch men and women tanked up on Coors Light to rock the night away. The walls of the Coliseum rocked as the crowd sang away to every song and the ground reverberated each time someone pounded their feet as they threw up the Rock N Roll sign. It was a great night all together and it truly commemorated our first five years together. Bring on some more Hysteria.
