DEF LEPPARD Night #2 In Boston, MA On THE STADIUM TOUR 2022 (Show Report/Setlist)

Def Leppard played show number 20 of The Stadium Tour in Boston, MA last night with 17 songs performed.

The show took place at the 37,731 capacity Fenway Park.

The second night of two at this venue.

The 20th show by the band in this city and third time at this venue (last night was actually the 19th show in the Boston area).

In fact the first time the band have played the same outdoor stadium three times and for two nights in a row.

The first ever two night stand in Boston.

The first two night stand in the USA (outside of residencies) since October 2018 when Los Angeles and Honolulu (in Hawaii) were both played twice.

Show #20 - Another Hot One

No Show Pauses, no rain, no lightning - just hot sunshine for the first "second night" in the same venue on this tour.

32C temps as the heat returned to the tour instead of the storms.

The show started earlier at 9pm and saw the band in fine form again and sounding amazing.

This time not in daylight but in darkness and with the spectacular light show on full display.

Video Content Changes

As you may have noticed at the first Boston show a few tweaks have been made again to the show production.

During 'Animal' the side screens only showed the band members up close with the circus graphics displayed only on the five main screen behind Rick.

Footage from the promo video filmed in 1987 are also now included.

Some of the other songs have also had some subtle changes made to the screen presentation including 'Rocket'.

(Almost) Home Town Boy

Joe introduced Vivian as a sort of home town resident and referencing his recent move to the local area (in nearby New Hampshire).

The 20th show of the tour was another major success in front of over 30,000 fans with 16 more left to play on this leg.

Same Setlist For Night #2

No changes with the same 17 song setlist played once more.
