Def Leppard played show number 7 of The Stadium Tour in Charlotte, NC last night with 18 songs performed.

The show took place at the 75,412 capacity Bank Of America Stadium.

The first show in Charlotte since June 2018 on the Journey co-headline tour.

The 18th show by the band in this city and first time at this venue.

The first show here took place in September 1981 at Charlotte Coliseum with Blackfoot on the High 'n' Dry tour.

They returned on the Pyromania tour as support to Billy Squier in March 1983.

The first of three In the Round shows in the city at the same venue took place in December 1987 followed by a second Hysteria tour show in October 1988.

The third In The Round in this city show took place in March 1993 on the Adrenalize tour. They would return again for another show on the same tour in September 1993 at Blockbuster Amphitheatre. Their first outdoor show here.

This venue would then be played under three different names on all visits to Charlotte from September 1993 to June 2015.

A total of 11 shows with the follow up visits taking place in 1996, 2000, 2003, 2006 (also with Journey), 2007, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2015.

Show #7 - Good Weather/Loud Crowd

Another show with good weather after a sunny weekend of shows.

It apparently only rained briefly for one song and stopped as Photograph began.

And a loud crowd acknowledged as "amazing" by Joe at the end of the show.

Unchanged Setlist

No changes for the regular 18 song setlist.

Motley Crue

The same 15 song setlist played but this time with Tommy Lee on drums for the full show.
