Def Leppard, in many ways, was the definitive hard rock band of the '80s. There were many bands that rocked harder (and were more dangerous) than the Sheffield-based quintet, but few others captured the spirit of the times quite as well.
Styx
Styx Remove performer from this event
Although they began as an artsy prog-rock band, Styx would eventually transform into the virtual arena rock prototype by the late '70s and early '80s, due to a fondness for bombastic rockers and soaring power ballads.
REO Speedwagon
REO Speedwagon Remove performer from this event
Three bands were the undisputed arena rock kings of the early '80s -- Styx, Journey, and REO Speedwagon -- yet all weren't overnight success stories (in fact, each group began pursuing different musical styles originally -- prog rock, fusion, and straight-ahead hard rock, respectively...

It's not a good thing when your opening band has a better soundman than the headliner. Styx sounded great. Def Leppard was loud and distorted and almost unbearable at times. Def Leppard played a good set but Styx owned the night...

seen em 4 times

I have seen this band 4 times now, and I do not know WHAT was wrong with them in PHX, but they were completely off! It was kinda a bummer cuz they usually are so great! But Joe's voice would not hit those high notes and Rick's usually spar feet and hand just would not hit some of the rifs he is so famous for. Viv is a nice addition, but even he was off. It was just one of those nights. Foreiner was pretty good, but I am sorry to say, Styx had the night, and I am not a HUGE Styx fan. I like em, but they were not who I was there to see! kinda bummed!
