This was my first time at the Hydro. Missed BLACK STAR RIDERS due to traffic.
WHITESNAKE were awesome and stole the show.
The sound engineer for DEF LEPPARD should get shot. The sound for the whole show was abysmal, too boomy & Bassy.
On Switch 625 Phil Collen & Vivien Campbell went out on the catwalk to trade licks, but you couldn’t hear the guitars, only boomy bass & distortion.
The sound didn’t improve & I left early just as Rock Of Ages was starting.
As the headliner this was unsuitable as you would think that they would have the best use of the PA.
4 years ago MOTLEY CRUE suffered with the same boomy bass & distortion at the SECC as they were support, but when DEF LEPPARD came on the sound was far superior & crystal clear.
So it makes you wonder, could DEF LEPPARD not be bothered to check their sound this time
Hang your heads in shame DEF LEPPARD
