Adams, 63, and his taut four-piece band, including longtime guitarist Keith Scott and drummer Mickey Curry, began their world voyage in January 2022 with a spate of dates in Asia and Europe. The muscularity that comes with consistent performing was evident in a 100-minute, 23-song set stocked with well-worn chestnuts and a few nods to newer fare.
Also keeping the beat steady was Jett and her Blackhearts, who spent last summer opening for Def Leppard, Motley Crue and Poison on The Stadium Tour.
The seemingly ageless Jett, 64, and her quartet of power rockers, established an assertive vibe with a new song, “Shooting Into Space” from the just-released “Mindsets” EP.
Though it was quickly followed by the Runaways favorite, “Cherry Bomb,” Jett’s statement that she still isn’t finished creating potent four-on-the-floor rockers was duly noted. Throughout the near-hourlong performance, she and the band slammed out three other new tracks, including the ultra-catchy, guitar-centric single, “If You’re Blue” and, to wrap the set, the saloon singalong “Whiskey Goes Good.” (eu.usatoday)
