Def Leppard played the first show of the Slang tour in Bangkok, Thailand on 28th May 1996 and an archive tour diary is available to read.
Joe Elliott wrote a tour diary for Q Magazine from the show which took place at the Indoor Stadium Hua Mark. In the quote below he explains why they dropped Truth? after playing it for the first and only (known) time at this concert.
Joe Elliott - Tour Diary Quote
"The album has only been out a week or so, Deliver Me goes down like an old favourite (can't figure that one out), Truth?, on the other hand, goes down like a pin in a rubber johnny factory. The arena is too echoey to deal with a song so sparsely arranged. We play it well enough but we'll have to rethink this one."
This and other archive concert reviews can be found on the show pages in the Tour History.
