Notes:

First time seeing Def Leppard since the summer of 2016. The setlist in the States

does not seem to change much outside of a few songs, so that is why I have

declined seeing them lately. I also ignored the "Stadium Tour" in 2022 as ticket

prices were a bit crazy to get close. Thankfully, they added more dates in 2023

and the tickets for this show were discounted to only $25 during a weekend sale.

I bought a ticket in the rear bowl and found an empty near the left hanging side

PA. Unfortunately, during "This Guitar", a gentleman came to take his seat I was

in, so I had to relocate at the end of that song 18 rows up and a little more over

to the side. My view of the stage went from awesome to meh, but the good news

is the sound really did not change all that much. We had some wind throughout the

set, so there is some phasing on this (especially the first couple songs), but it

gets better as the show goes on. We hardly had any during Mötley's set. Alice Cooper

was the first on and it was a wind tunnel with the sound swirling about. Did not

even bother rolling for him. Def Leppard always sound great live, this is no

exception! One final note - at the Columbus stop, Def Leppard took the stage at

715pm and played until 845pm. Mötley followed taking the stage promptly at 915pm.

Co-headline with Mötley Crüe [also recorded], Alice Cooper opened [not recorded].
