The the third time at this arena which was first played in February 1993. It replaced the old Coliseum which had been played in 1983 and 1987.

'Let's Go' has now been played 7 times. 6 times as the show opener.
Joe led the crowd in the chorus of 'Sweet Home Alabama' before 'Two Steps Behind'. Jacksonville being where the band are originally from.
Joe talked about the upcoming tour break on his radio show last night.

Joe Elliott - Pre Two Steps Behind Speech
"Oh yeah. This is sounding like a really good place to finish the tour to me. Um some of the Skynyrd guys are from around here aren't they? (starts playing the song) - sing it!. Come on!. Yeah!. I don't know the rest of it. They do but they're not here. So let's do something else. Traditionally we always like to ask everybody in the audience a question at this point in the evening and it's fitting because this is the last night. It gives us a memory to take with us if you're up for it OK?. Do you wanna join the band?. Well?. You can tell all your friends tomorrow you were actually in Def Leppard for like four minutes or so. Do you wanna do that?. Alright then. If you know it, sing it. Two Steps Behind."
Joe Elliott - Pre Rock Of Ages Speech
"Wow. Words fail me because we've been out on the road since April. It doesn't end here we're just taking a little break. This is an amazing way to finish in the USA. The next stop is Tokyo and I'm going home for a fucking haircut. But we've had a great time tonight. I wanna thank you for coming. Thank you for being here. And in case you didn't know. We've got a new album coming out at the end of the month. October 30th. So god willing and if you like we'll come back and do this all again next year. Some new stuff and some old stuff - and whatever - because you guys make a lot of noise and that's why we like to keep coming here you see. Now can you - can you make maybe just a little bit more for the boy at the back. Stand up Rick Allen. As always he's gonna introduce this one for ya."
Joe Elliott - End Of Show Speech
"Jacksonville, Florida. Thanks for coming. Thanks for having us. Thanks for being here. We'll see you again. Goodnight."
Vivian Campbell - End Of Tour Facebook Comments
"Tonight's the last U.S. show for 2015. I've never liked that 'end-of-term' feeling. However, it's been an intense run of shows and we could all use a break. Thanks to all for coming out to catch the tour; we hope that you enjoyed and we'll be back for more of the same (and a lot of the new) next year. Until then, we'll leave you with our new record, and yet another picture of a ridiculous, gobshite of a dog named Stuart. Be well!"
