Def Leppard played show 39 of the 2015 World Tour last night in Youngstown, OH with 17 songs performed.
The show took place at Covelli Centre.
This was the bands first show in Youngstown. They last played in the state of Ohio on 26th August 2014 in Cleveland during the Summer Tour 2014 with KISS. Also a return to American soil after one date in Canada.
The second indoor arena show of the US tour. The venue holds just under 7,000 fans and was sold out as of late June.
Only Tesla supported at this show with a slightly longer opening set. The show's start time was moved to 7:30pm.
As with the previous indoor show in Uncasville the full stage production including a full length Thrust were used.
The Euphoria songs 'Promises' and 'Paper Sun' were played with 'Let It Go' left out. Many thanks to Kim and Elizabeth for confirming the setlist.
The Mayor of Youngstown, John A. McNally IV attended this show and tweeted photos (see some below). Which prompted one local to comment - "The Mayor is tweeting pics of Def Leppard. This town is such an armpit".
Lep fan Elizabeth who attended this show said the following about the moment the band came out for the encore.
Encore Crowd Moment
"There was also a point where just before the encores the entire crowd either threw up their cell phone flash or a lighter and chanted "Def Leppard", and Joe came out and said, "Jesus Christ, It's fucking Christmas in July! Ross, get a picture of this for our website!"
Joe Elliott - Pre TSB Speech
"What?. This is Youngstown right?. You wanna do some singing?. How's about this then. How about everybody out there. Do you wanna join the band for the next four minutes?. Tell all your friends tomorrow you were actually in Def Leppard for one song. What do you think?, because as you can see on this particular tune. It's just you and me OK?. Right, are you ready?. I have to say if you know it, sing it are you ready?!. Two Steps Behind."
