Def Leppard continued their 2016 Summer Tour last night in Corpus Christi, TX with 16 songs performed.

The show took place at the 10,000 seat American Bank Center.

The band's first time in Corpus Christi since 28th May 2003 on the X/Ten tour and first time at this venue.

The fifth time the band have played in this city at the fifth different venue.

The first time was in June 1980 at the Memorial Coliseum when they supported Judas Priest almost 36 years ago.

This show was originally planned for 5th February but was postponed on 1st February after Joe's vocal issues.

The setlist was the same as the previous two shows in Pensacola and Lafayette.

'Let's Go' still opening the show with it's album intro after the curtain fall.

Judging by Joe's end speech the crowd at this show was very loud and enthusiastic - as they should be!.

Update - More footage from the show has been posted.
