DEF LEPPPARD/MOTLEY CRUE Night #2 In ATLANTIC CITY, NJ (Show Report/Setlist)
Screenshot
Def Leppard played a second intimate show with Motley Crue last night in Atlantic City, NJ with 17 songs performed.
The show took place at the 7,000 capacity Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
The second of two shows here billed as being 'Intimate Shows' and not part of the main World Tour which starts on the 18th February in Mexico City.
The first show being the band's first time at this venue.
The third performance of 2023 and the last of the smaller scale shows ahead of the main tour kick-off in Mexico City on the 18th February in front of potentially up to 60,000 fans at Foro Sol.
Atlantic City Night 2
The show kicked off at around 10:45pm with the usual countdown and 'Take What You Want'.
A very cool live stream shot from the front rows allowed fans online to experience the first four songs and it was clear this show was just as good as the first.
And the band sounded in fine form again with amazing sound quality.
No Setlist Changes
Another 17 song setlist was played with the same order as night one and no changes.
Any changes to this set may come in Mexico City but not at this show which saw the same acoustic/electric version of 'When Love & Hate Collide' performed.
A song only played once in the USA before 2018.
Motley Crue also kept the same setlist from night one.
KISS Guitarist/Drummer
As seen in the photos below ex-KISS guitarist Ace Frehley attended the show along with ex-KISS drummer Peter Kriss.
