By dltourhistory
A round up of Def Leppard News with links to stories and updates from this week in the band's history.
A week where the band hit Las Vegas for the second time to play multiple shows and Joe released some new music.
Las Vegas Residency
The second residency of the band's career started earlier this week at the Zappos Theater.
Sin City Residency Show #1
The first night of 12 took place on 14th August and saw the debut of an impressive and spectacular new stage design.

'Die Hard The Hunter' opened the show with it's forst performance since April 1992 and for only the second time with Vivian in the band.
Other rare songs played included 'Billy's Got A Gun', 'Now', 'Slang' and 'Promises'.
Perhaps the biggest surprise was the four song semi-acoustic set which saw two songs debuted for the very first time in 'Let Me Be The One' from 2002 and 'We Belong' from the self-titled 2015 album. Each band member took their lead vocal spots from the album version including Rick Allen.
Sin City Residency Show #2
The second night saw a couple of changes with 'Too Late For Love' and 'Paper Sun' played during a 22 song set.
Sin City Residency Show #3
Last night's third show saw another 22 song setlist played and 'Foolin'' returned after missing show #2 in place of 'Too Late For Love'. Joe had a few vocal issues but this did not affect the show too much.
