It’s August and things here in the Salt City are still heating up this summer season. Last night at the JMA Wireless Dome<\/a> in Syracuse was no exception. Motley Crue<\/a> and Def Leppard\u2019s<\/a> co headlining World Tour 2023 <\/strong>\u00a0kicked off here and what an amazing start it was with fans packing into the JMA Wireless Dome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting the party off was the incredible, uncompromising and legendary man himself, Alice Cooper<\/a>! Alice Cooper along with his amazing and talented band consisting of Glen Sobel (drums), Nita Strauss (guitar), Tommy Henricksen (guitar), Ryan Roxie ( guitar) and Chuck Garrick ( bass) kicked things off in true Cooper style with a mock trial condemning Alice Cooper for his crimes and then launching right into \u201cNo More Mr. Nice Guy.\u201d A fitting tune for I would say. Alice Cooper and company played an incredible set consisting of such classics as \u201cFeed my Frankenstein\u201d, \u201cI\u2019m Eighteen\u201d, and \u201cSchool\u2019s Out\u201d, along with his very amazing stage show mixed in monsters, ghouls all leading up to his classic beheading on stage, which the crowd loved. Even though Alice Cooper and band played for about 1 hour, he still packs in an incredible show leaving fans wanting more, but alas it was time to set up for the next act of the evening, Motley Crue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smoke starts to fill the stage and you can see some screens start to flicker; a warning message starts playing through the crackling speakers, and like a gun shot, Motley Crue hits the stage kicking things off with their heavy hitting track, \u201cWild Side\u201d. A fitting choice the lead off the bad boys of metal\u2019s set and the crowd couldn\u2019t agree more. Fans decked out in fishnets, mile high teased hair, studded jackets and leather could not agree more. I remember seeing the Crue on their Shout at The Devil <\/em>tour so that younger fan in me really came out when they played \u201cShout at the Devil.\u201d The band played an incredible mix of songs from their 41 plus year career consisting of highly regarded tunes as \u201cToo Fast for Love\u201d, \u201cLooks That Kill\u201d, \u201cDr. Feelgood\u201d, \u201cGirls, Girls, Girls\u201d, ending with their chart topping \u201cKickstart My Heart\u201d. I want to acknowledge that although I do miss seeing the formable Mick Mars on stage I could not agree more than having John 5 there is a great replacement bringing their sound and show to a new level. After taking their bows and thanking the fans for sticking with them it was time for the evening\u2019s headliner, Def Leppard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The stage goes dark and the crowd\u2019s excitement begins to build as the countdown clock on the screens reaches 3, 2, 1 and then Joe Elliot and company lead off the evening with \u201cTake What You Want\u201d, with only a\u00a0 brief pause before going into a laser light filled and thunderous sound version of their classic \u201cLet\u2019s Get Rocked\u201d! The band played an eclectic set, mixing their classic songs along with some of their newer ones, combined with some of the most amazing laser light show and stage production made for an concert that one will not forget for a long time. This being the second time I have seen them on tour this year, singer Joe Elliot sounds as good as he ever did along with other highlights from their performance was a high energy instrumental with a massive drum solo by Rick Allen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Def Leppard finished their set with their mega hit \u201cPhotograph\u201d to which the fans sang along with immense energy. Even though the Syracuse crowd wanted, more Joe Elliot had indicated that they would definitely be back! Overall a great night in Syracuse for some amazing heavy metal music. Please enjoy my photo highlights from the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
