while they’re still fun live, the setlist is a bit stale. for the price it costs these days, i’m probably gonna pass this year.

Same set list as usual. No thanks.

Well as previously stated by many - It is what it is - as much as I want to see more cuts from On Through the Night and High and Dry, it is still great to hear the music loud and live by a band that stuck it out through tragedies when others may have bailed. In negotiations to see the Tulsa show but who knows I found two seats for $175 each that are decent.

At least they got the encore right.

Seeing this on June 1st. Looking forward to Journey more than Def Leppard, even without Steve Perry. That will be a first for me.

Yawn. Sitting this one out ... seen em twice in Louisville last 3 years. Both shows were good, but it is the same old songs, and not cheap. Now if they only let Vivian play some Dio songs in the middle somewhere, I may need to rethink lol

Glad they are still around. Bummed that they can't/won't switch things up a bit, not that they are alone on that front (cough-Poison-cough).

As we talked about a few weeks ago, even the packages themselves are getting a bit repetitive/similar in certain cases. At least I will hand it to Priest and Purple for creating a novel pairing for fans of one or both of those legacy acts.

For me now, with these nostalgia packages being the rage for bands that I like, it is a simple math problem: number of bands I want to see + cost = likelihood I will go to the show.

@Badland 😂😂😂😂 (other than Switch 625) 😂😂😂

Yeah, they really coulda punched up this set list.

Look, I get their love of 70’s British Glam Rock and I love David Essex as the next guy but people would probably appreciate hearing another killer cut like “Too Late For Love”, “Rock Rock (Till You Drop)”, “Let It Go”, “Women”, “Rocks Off”, “Wasted”, “Action” or even “Dangerous” than that!

In fact, I would rather hear any of these songs than “Man Enough”, “Switch 625”, “Two Steps Behind”, “When Love & Hate Collide”, or “Two Steps Behind”.

And you are 110% correct, Rita, my LOVE — They DID get the encore right!!! In fact, they could make it even better by adding their KILLER cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Travellin’ Band” after they take a 3rd bow!

[Metalboy!]

Wait, did I just say “Two Steps Behind” twice? Anyway, you guys get where I’m coming from!

Plus, I really need a proofreader ... same for typos, i.e. “I love David Essex as much as the next guy ...”

[Him]

Eye here ewe, MettleBoi!

[Metalboy!]

Haha!!, HIM!

I realize something else ...

The reason for them doing “Rock On” by David Essex and “Two Steps Behind” back to back and several songs into the set, may very well be to give Elliott’s vocal chords a rest, whereas opting in one or more of the songs I listed earlier might actually blow them out, which is what happened not too long ago resulting in Def Leppard having to cancel a tour, if you’ll recall.

1995 - Def Leppard "Vault" released of basically greatest hits with a couple new ones.

This set list is that album with Rock On,a new one (Man Enough) and a lil' Switch 625. That's too bad.

You don't need Two Steps Behind, Love & Hate, and Love Bites - just pick one for the lighters :)
