Screenshot
Def Leppard played another show with Journey on the 2018 North American tour last night in San Antonio, TX with 16 songs performed.
The show took place at the 19,000 capacity AT&T Center.
The band last played San Antonio on 27th May 2017 on the Summer Tour 2017.
The 15th show the band have played in San Antonio and time at this venue.
The first visits were in June 1980 as support to Judas Priest and Ted Nugent on their debut American tour.
They returned to the Convention Center Arena for shows in November 1981 and for their first headline show in May 1983 on the Pyromania tour.
This venue was once again played for two In The Round shows in November 1987 and February 1993.
The next visit was at a Walmart parking lot in June 1999 to promote the Euphoria album release with a second full show taking place at Freeman Coliseum in August 2000.
A run of four shows at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater started in May 2003 on the X/Ten tour followed by shows in October 2005, July 2006 and August 2007.
Another show followed in September 2011 on the Mirrorball tour at AT&T Center arena for the first time.
The last show in 2017 was played outside the grounds of the arena.
Phil visited The Alamo building before the show - see photos below. A building once visited by the whole band during the 1987 Hysteria tour as photo graphed by Ross Halfin.
Sav wore a San Antonio Spurs basketball jersey during the encore. The AT&T Center is their home venue.
