More awful fans in Pittsburgh. There wasn’t enough security for all the seat jumpers. Several people were tossed out of the front section SEVERAL times. They should have been escorted out of the building. I gladly narc’d on as many as possible. Then the cigarette smoking. And by night’s end…people standing on seats and a woman on a guy’s shoulders. People thought that just because they had a M&G pass around their neck or a field wrist band that the location of the seat on their ticket didn’t matter. Infuriating.
I could not drive out of town fast enough.

God only knows what happened during Crue. The last two shows I knew people who were next to me who were bleeding because of Nikki Sixx. I have no patience for that and hope he gets sued to the hilt.

Side notes:
Riki Rocket’s drum solo was different tonight. No whistles.
Joe thanked Classless Act tonight. First time to my knowledge that he’s mentioned them (never in my previous shows). And did not say “ATWBANT”

I could not drive out of town fast enough. Tell me about it! We were in Section C and once Def Leppard started, it was a constant parade of security escorting people out. That and people taking background selfies with the band. One guy dancing with his pants falling off and escorted out after he got obscene. First time, I've seen so much of that stuff. Finding parking was a nightmare too. Motley Crue just sound like a bunch of noise, We left during their third song. It was so good to see the band again! I`ve missed them so much! Last night was the first time since December 2018 in Dublin. They sounded great and I think their new songs went over well. I love Joe's white hair. I'm dreaming I know, but I wish they would add another leg to this year's tour, since they probably won't be in the states next year. It will seem like eternity if they don't return until 2024. |

Concert review: Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett rock PNC ParkALEXIS PAPALIA Four bands transported PNC Park back to the Three Rivers Stadium era when The Stadium Tour finally came to Pittsburgh on Friday. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Poison, Def Leppard and Motley Crue combined for a raucous six-and-a-half-hour concert that delighted fans both young and old. Multiple bands remarked on how relieved they were to be back on the road after the pandemic caused cancellations. Bret Michaels said, “Two and a half years I’ve been waiting for this exact party!” Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott succinctly expressed the relief of both the audience and the bands: “We finally made it.” PNC Park saw a perfect sunny day for a 1980s party and a packed stadium full of fans thrilled to throw one. Despite its slate of anti-establishment hard rockers, the show ran impressively on time. It was technically faultless, from the varied, colorful light displays to the crystal-clear sound, every act shone in an amazing spectacle. The lineup started strong with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts playing to a crowd that was revved up even at the 4:30 p.m. start time. Jett – as rebellious and striking as ever in all black – didn’t miss a beat with a set of crowd-pleasing hits from “Cherry Bomb” to “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll.” The band threw in some stripped-down songs, like “I’m Gonna Run Away,” as nods to their recently released acoustic album “Changeup.” On their more bombastic tunes, like “Do You Wanna Touch Me?” the whole band brought an energy that had the assembling crowd on its feet. While Jett didn’t shout out the lyrics the way she used to, her sultry voice on songs like “Crimson and Clover,” and the band’s growling guitars and pounding drums to match left no doubt that the 2015 Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame inductees can still rock. The Blackhearts wrapped up their hour-long set with back-to-back crowd favorites in “I Hate Myself For Loving You” and “Bad Reputation.” Considering lead singer Bret Michaels’ Western Pennsylvania roots, it may have been wise to make Poison the show’s headliner in Pittsburgh. Instead, they came on second to a thunderous hometown welcome. Michaels never hid his own excitement, shouting “It’s Bret Michaels and it’s good to be home!” as the band took the stage. Michaels was full of love to share, lavishing praise on Pittsburgh, where he spent plenty of time while he was growing up in Butler. “I can’t stop smiling, my brothers and sisters are here bringing it. I’ve been telling them on this tour, the ‘Burgh is going to kick your ass!” Poison rocked their way through high-energy radio classics like “Ride the Wind,” “Talk Dirty To Me” and “Nothing But A Good Time.” Still, they left room in the middle of their set for “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” a power ballad that had what felt like the entire stadium singing along. Guitarist C.C. DeVille had the crowd in the palm of his hand during a minutes-long electric guitar solo and Rikki Rockett, the Mechanicsburg-born drummer, rocked out with his own spotlight performance. Both Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and Poison played hour-long sets, but Def Leppard and Motley Crue performed for 90 minutes and used every second to great effect. It was hard to imagine more of a hard-rock high than Poison, but Def Leppard was revealed onstage under a rising curtain bearing their logo and brought fans to their feet with a mix of classic hits and new material that fits right in with the oldies. Lead vocalist Joe Elliott still sings like he did in 1983, even if he’s rocking silver hair these days. The band showcased songs from their new album “Diamond Star Halos.” As Elliott announced proudly onstage, “From our homes all over the place, we managed to 100 percent remotely make an album – and we pulled it off.” The first single, “Kick,” fit right in with songs from the band’s heyday like “Animal” and “Hysteria.” Elliott promised the audience a range of their music from the very old to the very new, and they delivered. The set wandered from tracks off of the band’s second album, released in 1981, to the present. Nothing quite revved up the crowd, however, like “Pour Some Sugar On Me.” Def Leppard closed with “Photograph,” and the screens on either side of the stage showed snapshots of the band collaged together with their live performance. Before they left the stage, Elliott made one request of the fans. “Do us a favor, Pittsburgh. Don’t forget us and we won’t forget you.” As the sun finished setting, the crowd buzzed with anticipation for the night’s final act, Motley Crue. Just after 9:30 p.m., the band made an epic entrance after a video intro that depicted a fake apocalyptic news broadcast and amid an electronic red-and-black banner declaring “The future is ours.” All of the buzz made sense once Motley Crue started to play. Everything about their performance was a musical wave that swept up even the most apathetic concertgoers. From the frenetic, colorful lights to the band’s undeniable hard rock sound, the show was an adrenaline rush. Lead singer Vince Neil’s iconic voice rang out over chugging, screaming guitars, all held up by the heart-pounding beats of infamous drummer Tommy Lee. Much like Def Leppard before them, Motley Crue mixed the classics with the new, even throwing in a rendition of “The Dirt,” the song written for the 2019 film of the same name about the band. Still, they seemed to have the most fun doing a series of covers. Nikki Sixx, Motley Crue’s bassist, introduced the medley by referring to them as “our favorite Motley Crue songs that are other people’s songs. Motley Crue karaoke!” The medley included “Rock ‘n’ Roll Part 2,” “Helter Skelter” and “Anarchy in the U.K.,” among other influential songs. After a series of old-school hits like “Dr. Feelgood” and “Girls, Girls, Girls,” Motley Crue finished their set with “Kickstart My Heart,” a song that sent the thousands of attendees away with more than enough energy for the drive home.

Review: Motley Crue brings The Stadium Tour to a wild, sloppy finishSCOTT MERVIS It’s not the only stadium tour of the summer, but The Stadium Tour just might be the most fun, what with all the smoke, lasers, leather pants, flowing hair and trashy ‘80s hits. More than two-and-a-half years after it was announced — due to pandemic delays — it finally hit PIttsburgh Friday as the middle round of three sold-out shows in four nights at PNC Park, where packed houses have been rare for the home team. For Motley Crue, The Stadium Tour follows one they did back in 2014-15, the last time they were in Western Pa. That one was called The Final Tour, which was really sad because it was their final tour — till this one! Before either of them hit the stage, we were treated to sets from two singers who were Pittsburgh kids. The first was Joan Jett, who was born near Philadelphia but spent part of her youth here. We’d like to think it was the formative years. Jett, a 63-year-old who was a Runaway at 16, is still youthful, both in appearance and grit, as she demonstrated in her hit-filled hour-long set. People don’t usually roll into concerts at 4:30 on a Friday, but it was pretty full for Jett who gave fans a steady run of sing-along jukebox hits. Some were her own (“I Hate Myself for Loving You,” “Bad Reputation”). Plenty were covers, including Gary Glitter’s “Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah),” Sly & the Family Stone’s “Everyday People,” The Arrows’ “I Love Rock 'n' Roll” and, for another local connection, “Crimson & Clover” from Tommy James & the Shondells, which broke here with players from Greensburg. She also did The Runaways’ “Cherry Bomb” with all the raw punk attitude it had in 1976. One of the original badass girl rockers, Jett is still rock ’n’ roll to the bone. Jett did not have a Terrible Towel — that would seem out of character — but Butler native Bret Michaels sure did when he made his dramatic entrance during Poison’s “Look What the Cat Dragged In.” Sporting a sleeveless Poison T-shirt and red bandanna, Michaels was greeted by more Towels waving back at him. Two songs in, the singer, playing his first-ever Pittsburgh stadium show, said, “This is the awesome night of my life” or “This is one of the most awesome nights of my life.” It was hard to tell because Poison’s sound was a bit on the loud and clangy side. Energetic throughout, Michaels had his moments, leading the band and crowd on sing-alongs of “Talk Dirty to Me” and “Fallen Angel.” C.C. DeVille, whose guitar tone is a wicked screech, did a solo session, during which he jumped around from “The Munsters” to “Eruption.” And Rikki Rockett made sure we got a drum solo, with a bunch of whistling. There was no Bobby Dall bass solo. In a 55-minute long set, they did seven songs. One of them, of course, was “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” a power ballad made for a rousing stadium sing-along. They capped it by partying their way through an extended “Nothin' But a Good Time.” Our international visitors on Friday night came from South Yorkshire, England, where they broke out in the early ‘80s with what was known as “the new wave of British heavy metal.” Def Leppard are the poster boys for pop-metal with bright, stadium-sized choruses. Those early shows were played in theaters, as platinum-haired singer Joe Elliott mentioned, referencing the band playing the Stanley, right across the river, in the ‘80s. In PNC, it was big, booming and heavy on the bass. Leppard, not totally giving in to the dinosaur-band syndrome, took the bold step of opening with a new song “Take What You Want” and later played “This Guitar,” another song from this year’s “Diamond Star Halos,” as part of an unplugged section with “Two Steps Behind.” On either side of that, the band delivered monster hits like “Foolin’,” “Love Bites,” “Hysteria” and “Rocket,” complete with the night’s first lasers. Timed with the sun setting and the skyline lighting up, the band took it up a notch with a ferocious jam on “Bringin’ on the Heartbreak,” ending with a pummeling drum solo from Rick Allen. Detroit got “Pour Some Sugar on Me” twice, because Elliott went out and played it with Billy Joel. Here, Elliott saved it for The Stadium Tour, and if you were on Mt. Washington, you probably heard the crowd belting that one out. Ditto for anthemic “Rock of Ages” and “Photograph,” making it a fiery triple shot to climax the set. Kudos to Elliott, at 63, for reaching those sky-high notes. After that bang-up finish from Def Leppard, Crue, arriving in clouds of pinkish smoke with “Wild Side,” sounded off. For starters, everything was muddy and chaotic. On top of that, Vince Neil’s vocals were cartoonishly thin and echoey, making him sound like 7-year-old Vince Neil singing through a tin can. Coming to his aid, to some extent, were a few pole dancers who also sang. Thing is, though, we’ve all either seen or read “The Dirt” and know it’s a small miracle that Neil, Nikki Sixx, Mick Mars and Tommy Lee still walk the Earth let alone all get on a stage together, so the crowd at PNC seemed to appreciate, you know, just being there. As Sixx noted, “It’s been a reckless, badass, irresponsible 41 years.” And, at times, sloppy. When Neil said, “Who’s diggin’ this?,” though, everyone seemed pretty happy. If you came for loud, wild and unhinged, Crue supplied that in its set of glam-metal classics -- “Shout at the Devil,” “Too Fast for Love,” “Live Wire,” “Looks That Kill,” “Girls, Girls, Girls” — that made the early ‘80s a crazy place to be. They broke that up with new song “The Dirt (Est. 1981),” featuring the video rap of Machine Gun Kelly, and a clattering, crowd-assisted medley that included “Rock and Roll, Part 2,” “Smokin' in the Boys Room,” “White Punks on Dope” and “Anarchy in the U.K.” On the way to the big finish of “Kickstart My Heart,” we got the absolute cringiest moment of The Stadium Tour: the 59-year-old Lee, who just went viral with a Tik Tok penis pic, coming out from behind the drums to ask girls to lift up their shirts. This is right after people have been talking about how revolting that was at Woodstock ‘99. Leave it to Tommy Lee to try to set the culture back two or three decades. Source

Much more accurate review from the Post Gazette than the Tribune.

Here’s 2 alternate angles where you hear him low in the mix. So let’s be careful not to sling **** around hoping something sticks with people jumping on the bandwagon. |

And did not say “ATWBANT” I didn’t hear him say it either. I thought I had missed it. I hope they don’t decide not to return to Pittsburgh. Actually, Burgettstown is where the Pittsburgh show used to be. I wish they would go back to doing that. Are the stadium shows all they will do now? I really don’t like them. They’re more expensive and harder to get to. |
