Adams, Def Leppard bring back memories of the '80s
In the past few years, baseball teams - from the majors to minor league franchises such as the Swing of the Quad-Cities - have had periodic "throwback" games in which the players wear vintage uniforms amid all the trappings of yesteryear.
Using the same parlance, the "Rock 'n' Roll Doubleheader" concert tour of Bryan Adams and Def Leppard - which is playing 26 minor league parks across the country, including Sunday night at John O'Donnell Stadium in Davenport - could be considered a "throwback" concert.
More than 6,500 people soaked in the 1980s dorm party atmosphere, complete with Def Lep and Adams tunes cranked way up, plenty of beer and low-cut female outfits.
Each of the acts sounded as good as those Dolby cassette memories of the '80s, each delivering all of their hits, with a new song scattered here and there.
