Def Leppard and KISS started the Summer Tour 2014 last night in Salt Lake City, UT with 14 full songs played.
With Joe in a "Ded Flatbird" style outfit the band kicked off their 75 minute set at 8pm local time in bright sunshine with the snippet of 'Won't Get Fooled Again'. Joe kept his Booty Ruben look of black hat and white jacket until 'Hysteria' was played and the usual 'Booty' humour.
The rest of the show was very much a 'Greatest Hits' set apart from the acoustic/electric version of 'Bringin' On The Heartbreak'. Rick joined the band again for the electric section of 'BOTH' as heard on the 'Mirrorball (Live & More)' album. A version last played in 2011.
The show was mostly played in daylight but did darken enough by the end for the video screens to become more effective. Most of the footage used was seen in 2013 at VIVA! Hysteria mixed in with live shots of the band.
Rick was set up in front on the 'other' drum riser with two banks of screens either side of him. The main KISS screen was also used and much larger than the normal Lep screen.
'Hysteria' featured a tag by Joe of the KISS song 'Beth'.

Live Setlist/Photo Updates direct from the show happened on this site with much help from various fans who were in attendance including Brett/Glenn.
The next show takes place in Denver, CO on 25th June.
