DEF LEPPARDMirror Ball (Bludgeon Riffola)

HHOT on the heels of last weekend’s Download headliner, Def Leppard return with a live set spread across two CDs and a DVD. Heavy on hits and fan favourites, it’s a reminder of Joe Elliot & Co’s staying power. They could still be playing the same setlist in 20 years time, just like Status Quo, ZZ Top and AC/DC. It’s mostly feelgood fare, with Rocket, Animal, Hysteria, Pour Some Sugar On Me and Let’s Get Rocked setting the bar, plus covers of David Essex hit Rock On and The Sweet’s Action. PC
