Def Leppard and Journey with Steve Miller Band The Summer Stadium Tour 2024 Minute Maid Park August 14, 2024 “Time keeps on slippin’ slippin’ slippin’ into the future…” Doesn’t it, though? I couldn’t help but think these lyrics could have been relevant (in a negative way) to The Summer Stadium...
Doesn’t it, though? I couldn’t help but think these lyrics could have been relevant to The Summer Stadium Tour – featuring Def Leppard and Journey with the Steve Miller Band – if the concert was simply pure nostalgic indulgence. But it wasn’t. It was far from it.
Up first was Steve Miller, who, based on his spectacles and business casual attire, looked like he went straight from an office to Minute Maid Park, which, to be fair, many concertgoers did to make the 6 p.m. start time. Seriously, you wouldn’t think him out of place if you saw this Space Cowboy refilling his Hydro Flask at your office water cooler. The outfit does, however, fit Miller’s “musician first, celebrity never” attitude, and a musician he is – for sure.
Not only that, but decked out in all white, you couldn’t help but see Pineda as he traversed the stage – running all around it, back and forth, up and down, and fist bumping and high-fiving fans. He definitely brought the energy. Vocally, he came out of the gate strong, following “Only the Young” with “Be Good to Yourself” and “Stone in Love,” the first of six songs pulled from the band’s 1981 albumNow, that’s not to say that the rest of the band lacked enthusiasm.
Speaking of exhausting, the concert was about five hours long. Starting a show at 6 p.m. is obscene, but it’s ultimately a necessary evil as the show proved to be totally worth braving rush hour traffic to see.Someone told Steve Miller about the Sugar Land Space Cowboys. Someone needs to give the man a Space Cowboys T-shirt, stat.
