Def Leppard played a 2016 Summer Tour show last night in Cincinnati, OH with 16 songs performed.
The show took place at the 20,000 capacity Riverbend Music Center.
The band's first time in Cincinnati since 17th August 2015 on the 2015 tour.
The 15th show the band have played in this city and 12th time at this venue.
The first visit here took place in April 1983 at the Cincinnati Gardens as support to Billy Squier.
They returned for the first headline show in January 1988. An In The Round show at Riverfront Coliseum during the Hysteria tour with Tesla supporting them.
A second outdoor show followed in August 1988 at Riverbend Music Center. Their first time playing this venue.
The last of only three indoor shows in this city was played (In The Round) in November 1992 on the Adrenalize tour also at Riverfront Coliseum.
Since July 1993 every show in Cincinnati has been played at the Riverbend Music Center.
The setlist remained unchanged again.
This was another show played in vert hot temperatures as referenced by Joe before 'Dangerous'.
