Def Leppard played a show on the Pyromania tour in Uniondale/Long Island, NY on 25th March 1983 and a second archive concert review is available to read.

The concert was part of the opening US tour leg when they supported Billy Squier.

Billboard reviewed the show which took place at the Nassau Coliseum.

The first visit to this city and arena since August 1981 on the High 'n' Dry tour with Ozzy Osbourne.

The first ever show here took place in July 1980 as support to Ted Nugent on their debut American tour.

The 12 song setlist featured four new songs from Pyromania, five from High 'n' Dry and two from On Through The Night plus their regular encore cover song 'Travellin' Band'.

Billboard - Classic Review Quotes

"Opening act Def Leppard, touring to promote their current album, 'Pyromania,' were a major disappointment."

"Their nine-song, 50-minute set got off to a slow starts, and only after the third song did the audience really begin to warm up to them, and vice versa."

This and other archive concert reviews can be found on the show pages in the Tour History.
