The Def Leppard/Journey tour gets underway tonight (Friday, June 23rd) at the Tweeter Center At The Waterfront in Camden, New Jersey. It's a coheadlining package, and each band will play about 80 or 90 minutes. Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen is a big fan of Journey guitarist Neal Schon, and Collen said he hopes they get to share the stage at some point: "I've met him, and kinda just jammed with him backstage, and stuff, but that's about it. He's really good -- he rips it up."
The groups will ebon the road together until September 23rd, when they close out the tour in Mansfield, Massachusetts.
