It was pretty good. Gnarly even, which is more than you can say for many of the past-their-prime acts that stroll through Northeast Ohio throughout the year.
The Stadium Tour 2022 with Motley Crue, Def Leppard and more in ClevelandCLEVELAND, Ohio – The year was 1987. The highlight of every teenage rocker’s summer was Motley Crue’s “Girls, Girls, Girls Tour.” The music was mindless. Life was good.
But it wasn’t for a lack of trying. Every act went for fist-pumping glory, starting with Joan Jett. Has any rock star this side of Mick Jagger oozed cool more than Jett. The 63-year-old strolled out to the stage at 4:30 p.m. in front of a smallish crowd only to have people in bathroom and beer lines drop everything upon hearing “Cherry Bomb” and rush to their seats.
During the half-hour intervals between sets, fans flocked to refuel , while marveling at the look of the crowd.Indeed, the concert tees were faded. The jeans and leather pants fit a bit tighter. Most of the tattoos haven’t aged well. For younger readers, imagine Eddie from the most recent season of “Stranger Things,” only in his 50s and multiplied ten-thousand times.
Heck, it’s hard to knock a guy who wears his band’s own T-shirt during shows, goes wild on a harmonica before a cover of “Your Mama Don’t Dance” and even lets fans strum his acoustic guitar. The stadium shook for the first time during “Talk Dirty to Me” and Michaels’ voice still sounds fairly decent on “Every Rose Has Its Thorn.”
Most importantly, Elliott’s vocals sounded impeccable. Granted, he has the benefit of some stellar backing harmonies and slick production effects. But Elliott hit every note, even on new songs from this year’s “Diamond Star Halos” that fit in nicely with the band’s biggest hits. After all, you know a set was epic when a bunch of shirtless, barefoot dudes are escorted away by security during the chorus of “Photograph.”Def Leppard and Motley Crue have been taking turns closing out shows on tour. It was the Crue’s turn Thursday. Were they as good as Def Leppard? Not even close. But Motley Crue’s barrage of special effects, including laser lights and tons of smoke, felt like the right way to go once the sun went down.
