This is the fifth time I've seen Def Leppard in concert. I remember seeing them when they were the biggest band in the world on their "Hysteria" tour. Now over 25 years later they are still selling out 20,000 people stadiums. On a perfectly beautiful night in Salt Lake City, Def Leppard roared to stage and played a 17 song set. While no longer the world's biggest band, which I'm guessing they are perfectly fine with, they still deliver a high energy show.
Promo's for their new CD were on the video screens before and between sets. Joe talked about it during the encore, but they didn't play any songs from it. I would have loved to hear the lead single "Let's Go" rather than the moldy oldie "Rock On". "Let's Go":
But my biggest complaint, and it's rather minor, is that they didn't play "Women".
Def Leppard's songs for the most part are more timeless and the songs of Styx, so I'm still not sick of hearing them. Since their songs are more timeless, they aren't as stale as some of the songs of Styx were. I've been listening to their music for the last several days in my car- essentially any song from "Pyromania" or Hysteria" still sounds great. There's not a dud on either CD.
