My Dad and I
So dance might not be the best word. More like jumped, shook around and twirled a bit with Def Leppard. My dad and I went and saw Heart and Def Leppard a week ago. This was my third Def Leppard concert and they keep getting better!
Heart was amazing. Honestly, I wasn’t even thinking about watching them. I figured we would miss part of the act due to traffic. We arrived in record time and saw the entire Heart set. I was so pleased we did. They were awesome. I didn’t realize how many Heart songs I recognized. Ann Wilson’s voice was incredibly strong. Nancy Wilson was doing a high kick while headbanging and playing the guitar like a 20 year old and she is 57. Fun and inspiring.
Of course my Sheffield boys were the highlight of my night. Their show is all about the music with very little ego. They played all my favorites like Rocket, Hysteria and of course Pour Some Sugar On Me. My favorite live songs from them are Rock On and Photograph.
We were in the fifteenth row and when the guys were on the catwalk they were so close my dad said it was like having them in your own living room and that is just how it felt.
I asked for help on what to wear to the concert on Facebook: a favorite summer dress or normal concert wear of jeans and a tee. As it was supposed to rain I went with the jeans. I did wear big silver hoop earrings, the biggest I have worn in decades and my hair was big as well (big for me). I wish I had worn the dress though. I’m sure if I had worn the dress I would have stood out to the guys and they would have invited me on stage to serenade me with Love Bites. I’m positive that would have happened so next time I will wear a dress.
It was fun. I hope they tour again next year. And the next year. And the next year.
