Sheffield 1992 by Live Nation
Def Leppard played two shows in Sheffield, England on 23rd/24th June 1992 on the Adrenalize world tour and a rare stage photo is available.
The photo posted by Live Nation shows the then new In The Round stage prior to one of the shows.
The two night stand was the first time the band had played In The Round in England. The third and fourth shows of the main Adrenalize "7-Day Weekend" world tour.
The tour had started on the 19th June in Dublin with a second show in Glasgow on the 21st. On the 26th they began at two night stand at Earls Court in London where the person writing this saw his first show - sitting right about where the two people are standing in the main photo.
This photo was found randomly after searching for the venue page of the Germain Amphitheater in Columbus, OH which was played on 8th July 2007. It turns out the venue was closed later on in 2007 so the Live Nation link redirected to its "Error 404" page.
And just before shutting down the tab it was noticed the Adrenalize stage was showing on the background. After some searching it turned out to be Sheffield Arena - currently known as Motorpoint Arena. All UK shows in 1992 featured floor seats usually only seen in North America.
