Def Leppard played show 56 of the 2015 World Tour last night in Houston, TX with 17 songs performed.
The show took place at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion.
The band's first time in Houston since 31st August 2014 during the Summer Tour 2014 with KISS.
The 16th appearance by the band in this city. The first show here took place in May 1980 at the Sam Houston Coliseum as support to Ted Nugent.
The 10th time that the band have played at this venue and the 10th consecutive tour appearance at this venue. The band did play in the city in 2001 at the Reliant Astrodome but that show was not part of the main Euphoria tour.
The venue was first played in September 1993 at the end of the Adrenalize tour.
The show was packed with almost 16,000 fans. As seen in Ross Halfin's photos below Sav appears to have injured his left leg and was wearing a brace during the soundcheck. He updated fans with a message which can be seen below.
'Let It Go' back in the set as song #3 and 'Promises' was played as the only Euphoria song.
Joe Elliott - Phil Collen Intro
"Thank you. Thank you very much. Fuck it's hot. As it should be, right?. Saturday night in Houston, Texas!. Can you make a little bit of noise please for my very good friend here. All the way from the East End of London Mr. Phil Collen."
Joe Elliott - End Of Show Speech Part 1
"Houston, Texas. Thanks for coming. Thanks for having us. Thanks for being here. We'll see you next time. Goodnight."
