Take Me Out To The Concert
When Def Leppard and Bryan Adams took the field on July 3, 2005 at the Dutchess County Baseball Stadium in Wappingers Falls, New York, they together compiled enough hits to provide a satisfying rock and roll victory for over 5000 jubilant fans.
This latest stop was one of at least a dozen minor league ballparks that these two band's co-headlining summer send-up is scheduled to perform at. Deep in centerfield stood a giant constructed stage and powerful sound system. The baseball diamond was fenced off but there was plenty of room for the GA and ample bleacher seating. Twice during the evening the two bands emerged through the center field fence in much the same was as a replacement pitcher would enter a baseball game. In the same way, both bands provided rock and roll relief through their stellar performances.
