Def Leppard = amazing experience! Feels like you are back in the 80's. It's cool to experience a band that is still together and sounding the same as they did from my old vinyl albums. Love them!
Journey, the music drowned out the singer. They did not have the same nostalgia that Def Leppard had. I miss Steve Perry!! The new guy, he's good, but it felt like watching a cover band.

DEF LEP JOURNEY SHOW
def lep was great! saw journey last time they
were in Little Rock, and they were very very
good. This time the sound was very distorted
too much of lead guitarist and show seem to
have no flow very disappointed.

JOURNEY/DEF LEPPARD 6/16/18
I loved it all. Grew up with Journey and Def Leppard but this was my first time seeing them live. Brought my 10 year old daughter for her first concert. I loved both bands, didn't care much for either the piano or the guitar solo's from Journey but that aside, I loved it. Def Leppard had an awesome show, played all the hits I love and sounded great, light show was spectacular! My 10 yr old will never forget it. Thanks to both bands!

DEP LEPPARD KILLED IT
Madison Square Garden June 13 2018.
journey opened with a very mediocre
performance. The sound mix was horrible and
Neal Schon continues to think that the
audience is there to pay homage to his guitar
skills
Def Leppard on the other hand was a
revelation... great sound, great light show, but
above all a band that appreciates the audience,
Aband that seems to really want to be there
and who is tight musically and vocally. - yes we
are all getting older but this is a band that
knows how to put on a show!
If you are attending one of the shows where
Def Leppard is opening the evening, you can
leave when they end their set. The Neal Schon
band is a waste of time!

FIRE JOURNEY’S SOUND GUY!
Saw Journey/Def Leppard last night at MSG. Def Leppard was
absolutely amazing. They sounded great, great presence on stage, and
played all the songs I wanted to hear. Journey on the other hand, was
just plain bad! The sound was so off, the bass was so loud, that I found
myself putting my fingers in my ears half the time. Thank god Def
Leppard closed the show, I left very happy and almost forgot the shit
show that was Journey.

DEF LEPPARD SOUNDED GREAT; JOURNEY A DISAPOINTMENT
I agree with the prior reviews on Journey's sound. Neal Schon had a ton of special effects pedals but no matter what he did it was just a wall of distortion. Even on the mellower Journey songs Neal used an inappropriate amount of distortion which masked the melody. Plus, he felt the need to do a major solo on every single song. It was just too much. When Def Leppard came on there was a noticeable change in the crowd's demeanor. People were up on their feet, clapping and dancing. The band was spot on and their sound was much better balanced. Joe Elliot still sounds amazingly well (although he looks terrible!). Both bands have a ton of great hits, bot only Def Leppard was able to tap into the crowds enthusiasm

CHARLOTTE SPECTRUM CENTER
My guitarist and myself went to see Journey
and Def Leppard at the Spectrum Center.
Going into the venue we both thought that
Def Leppard would have a huge sound and
presence when taking the stage. After all,
they are a very well recognized live band. We
figured Journey would open up for Def
Leppard as Journey has a softer sound with
more pop driven songs. We also figured Def
Leppard would go 100x harder than Journey,
but Journey's set list would be better. Boy
were we wrong. Journey was a tighter, better
sounding band across all fronts with a vastly
better set, sound, and presence. I came here
to see if other people had shared the same
disappointment with Def Leppard as we did.
They seemed old, out of touch, and on their
last leg. As where Journey almost felt surreal.
I saw significantly more Def Leppard shirts
than I saw Journey ones, and that may be
the tale here. People reviewing these
concerts are Def Leppard fans. Take it with a
grain of salt. Journey was vastly better.
