Def Leppard played the final show of the 2016 Summer Tour last night in Cedar Rapids, IA with 17 songs performed.

The show took place at the 8,600 capacity U.S. Cellular Center.

The band's first time in Cedar Rapids since 21st December 2002 on the X/Ten tour.

The sixth show the band have played in Cedar Rapids and sixth time at this venue.

The last show of the 2015/2016 world tour which started on 15th April 2015 in Penticton, BC, Canada.

The 58th full show played in 2016 after 102 shows were played in 2015.

The first visit to Cedar Rapids was in August 1983 on the Pyromania tour under the venues original name of Five Seasons Center with Uriah Heep opening.

They returned to the same venue in November 1987 for an In the Round show on the Hysteria tour with Tesla supporting them.

A second In The Round show here followed in September 1992 on the Adrenalize tour.

The next show took place in late December 1999 on the Euphoria tour with Dokken supporting.

The venue was played under its new name of U.S. Cellular Center three years later in December 2002 during the X/Ten tour.

Last night's show was the first played since the renovation of the venue in June 2013.

No changes were made to the regular 17 song setlist on the final night.

Another large crowd packed out this slightly smaller arena, as you can see from the photos below.

Phil Collen played with Tesla again on 'Save That Goodness'.

"Thank you and good evening Cedar Rapids!. How ya doing?. Let's have a look at ya. Welcome to the very last night of our tour. This is it, we're done after this.

"And we're gonna do a bit of everything for ya. Some old, some new, some borrowed and this is Phil Collen. He's gonna intro one of our more recent numbers. This one's from the latest album. This one's called Dangerous!."

Joe Elliott - Pre-Rock Of Ages Speech

"Wanna try something. When we used to come here years and years ago. It was kind of custom to get your cigarette lighters out and you flash them. And it all seems to have gone away to be replaced by cell phones. So How about everybody in here get your phones out. Let's see what it looks like. We need a memory to take home. As I said this is the last show of the tour. Give us something to take home will ya. And by the way you can make some noise as well if you want. Look at that. That's beautiful. Thank you Cedar Rapids."

"Alright. As this is the last night of the tour. It would be rude of us not to mention some people. So how about you show some love for Tesla who have been doing this whole run of shows with us. Starting it off every night. Great, great stuff. And REO Speedwagon who drive it home right. Also please put your hands together and make a lot of noise for the hardest working crew in rock and roll. The Def Leppard crew, amazing. Guys thanks for everything, wherever you are. And while you're at it show some love for this boy at the back here. Stand up Rick Allen. And as always, he will introduce this one for ya."

Joe Elliott - End Of Show Speech
