On Saturday night, we were reminded that all is good in the hair metal world as acts like Def Leppard, Poison and Lita Ford took center stage at the Comcast Center.

Considered by many to be some of the most definitive rock n’ roll icons of the 1980′s, this stop along the Rock of Ages 2012 tour provided those in attendance with a much-needed blast from the past, journeying back into the thrilling days of yesteryear.

From fans, critics and bloggers alike the show was deemed a home run. Here’s a small sample of what was being said on Twitter that night…

@JRKsLngIslndLdy I didn't meet Bret but he put on a heck of a show! I missed Lita sadly, we were fashionably late. Def Leppard rockd it too!

With Def Leppard receiving the majority of the attention leading up to the show, Poison and Lita Ford were not to be overshadowed by the headliner. One blogger (who also has up-close photos of the show) proclaimed that Poison and Lita provided “Nothin’ But A Good Time” – an obvious, clever pun at the 1988 classic.

Here are some YouTube videos we found of the show:

Lita Ford at the Comcast Center 8/18/12, “Kiss Me Deadly”

Poison at the Comcast Center 8/18/12, “Every Rose Has Its Thorn”

Def Leppard at the Comcast Center 8/18/12, “Pour Some Sugar On Me”
