ROCK legends Whitesnake and Def Leppard turned on the style in a stunning Battle of the Bands at Glasgow's SECC.
On a night that had more metal on display than the average warship, Def's production rock had the edge in terms of audio visual brilliance.
Defs' set, the first on their British tour, lacked some of the crowd interaction of Whitesnake, but had great vocals, astonishing lighting and visual displays, and more than two decades of hits.
Old favourites Hysteria and Animal were mixed with tracks from the new album Songs From The Sparkle Room, notably Nine Lives.
A somewhat dodgy version of Rock On was soon forgotten after a fabulous half-unplugged version of Bringin' On The Heartache.
Whitesnake's set was led by David Coverdale, who pouted, pranced and posed. It included all the hits, Fool For Your Loving, Is This Love and Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City.
But Coverdale saved the best for last with great vocals on Here I Go Again and the encore Still Of The Night.
Two great acts, one stunning show.
