Def Leppard played show number 22 of The Stadium Tour in Buffalo, NY last night with 17 songs performed.

The show took place at the 71,608 capacity Highmark Stadium.

The first visit to Buffalo since June 2018 on the Journey co-headline tour.

The 6th show by the band in this city and first time at this venue.

The first ever outdoor show in Buffalo which is one of their least played in major cities in New York State.

The first visit here was in September 1981 on the High 'n' Dry tour with Blackfoot.

They have of course played many times in nearby Darien Center at an outdoor venue which is 37 miles to the East of the city centre of Buffalo.

Back to the USA after the Canadian excursion in Toronto.

Show #22 - Back In New York

Another show hit by rain? - sort of. But fortunately only the day before as the stage was being built.

No rain or storms on show day as Motley Crue again played during a sunset.

By the time Def Leppard started their show at 9:30pm the sun had set and the backdrop was a full moon as they kicked into 'Take What You Want'.

Another packed stadium of 40,000 or so fans was about to get rocked.

No changes to the set which remained the same as it has since it was first changed in Detroit, MI.

.A return to New York state having played there in June at Flushing.

Joe even wore a couple of new shirts on their return.

Another spectacular performance by the band and another show in darkness to highlight the lights and video screens.

And now three more shows before they head off to the (not so time zone friendly) West Coast.
