KISS and Def Leppard at Ak-Chin Pavilion, 7/9/14

July 10, 2014 4:00AM

1 of 39
The surroundings of a KISS and Def Leppard concert are one of the most entertaining parts about it, aside from the legends performing on stage.

Wednesday’s concert contained a huge range of age groups, but the most amusing of them is what I like to call the “dad-rock” group. Dad-rock isn’t a negative meaning and will surely be the category I enjoy in in the decades to come. Here, I'm using the term to refer to those who grew up with the metal and rock icons onstage last night.
