London 2006 by Gary Riches
Def Leppard played a show in London, England during the YEAH! tour 10 years ago on this day in 2006 and media photos are available.
The show took place at the legendary Hammersmith Odeon (then known as Hammersmith Carling Apollo).
The second of only two UK shows played in support of the YEAH album which had been released on 22nd May.
Sheffield's Hallam FM Arena was played the night before. Due to a Sunday curfew the band left out 'Love Bites' in London and played 17 songs compared the the previous night's 18.
They were supported by Cheap Trick and the Sensational Alex Harvey Band.
The YEAH! tour had started in Milan, Italy on 3rd June at the Gods Of Metal festival.
Hammersmith was last played in October 2003 during the X/Ten tour. A venue where they played their very first public London show in September 1979 supporting Sammy Hagar.
