Def Leppard Hysteria Tour Dublin,

artvanderlay

I'd go to this but I'm not a fan of acts playing full albums. I prefer the spontaneity of not knowing what the next tracks are going to be. I went to Roger Waters Dark Side of the Moon live a few years back, and the most boring part for me was when he played the full album. When he played random tracks from the Pink Floyd catalogue, it was brilliant. Live should be unpredictable. Also, for me the Hysteria album ends after Hysteria the song; Love and Affection, and Excitable I can do without hearing live!

saw DL 2 times already 2011 and 2015 both had awsome support bills and i never heard of cheap trick but after a few listens to them im familar with some of there songs and id say they will be great live

Love the Hysteria album and look forward to hearing it if i do go to the concert. They have actually released a live dvd already of doing them the album in full 2013 'viva hysteria'. They will do a few other songs no doubt and it should be a good show. I just hope they dont start as flat as 2015 when they opended with a new song and it bombed

3rd time seeing def leppard and prob be the exact same show and sequences but a rocking sat night in December what more can u want Cheap Trick should be good also

Looking forward to Saturday night but feel they should of had a 2nd support like previous Dublin shows (had Thin Lizzy(2011) and Black Star Riders(2015) opening the night before the main support Alice Cooper (2011) and Whitesnake (2015, wasant at the 2009 show they had 4 band's on the bill). We just have Cheap Trick and DL this year

Ironically The new best of (Def Leppard- The Story so far) is coming out on Friday

i would have loved to go only for work commitments . It would have being great if they where supporting bon jovi rather than the boring preachers

it will the same setlist almost word for word as they done for the recent Asian/Oceanic Hysteria tour. Bacisally Hysteria in full and an encore of hits . We might get the new xmas song or the Personal Jesus cover instead of one of the songs

Cheap trick have a short enough set time and they really should of thrown on another band. Doors at 6.30 and Cheap Trick not on til 7.45 ???

should be a good night. ill drink too a minimum as i have to get bus back home at 23.45 :D

Hi Starwave. I might be able to help with the ticket swap. PM sent

PTH2009

****ing hell Dublin on a sat 😫😫. Ques, screaming, teenagers etc.

Anyway having a nice pint in the Spencer hotel bar and can't wait for tonight

PTH2009

What a night

Cheap Trick unfamiliar too me when announced were amazing and reality got the crowd goin. The amount of hits they had was amazing

I've seen def Leppard 2 times before tonight and I have to say tonight was the best I've ever seen them. What a setlist, great stage and the band were on fire

Was on the fence about this gig but bought a ticket a month ago and glad i did

Was up the last row of the block L row 55, really great view. A few lads apparently got into the lighting section on the same row as me and security seemingly ran up fairly quickly

3 hour bus journey home but let's get rocked what a night

Think it started at 45 mins or something around that

Got a medium hysteria shirt myself. Nice shirt but bit loose lost a bit of weight and I'm in between medium/small which is annoying lol but I'll find somehow to wear it

30 minutes - great idea.

Brilliant gig!

staging, lighting, vocals, production, sound, energy, our seats were vibrating.

Loved the reeling in the years video montages in the background.

Hysteria has to be of the hughest quality Albums; I had watched a documentary about Def Leppard where they said they had so much good material for it that they should have put some in a follow up Album. Instead the Album had so many lead singles, they just jept coming.

For Belfast gig later, looking forward to it

Oasis1974

Saw them in concert recently thought the drummer was chancing his arm.

Funny thing happened with cheaptrick Rick Nielsen was calling out all the band member names and bass player Tom Petersen didn't even taunt the crowd or anything

Pretty usual ?? Didn't like the crowd or something ?

rednik

I first saw them in 92 and several times since. The last few were pretty ordinary but last night was superb. Cheap Trick were fantastic and probably deserved a longer set. Rick Nielsen is still a great entertainer. Def Leppard were brilliant, the sound, Joe's vocals and the stage show were class.

Rick Nielsen seemed to be constantly talking to his back stage crew, and complaining about something. Found it very distracting. Seemed a bit obsessed with throwing picks into the crowd as well.

Great gig enjoyed it cheap trick were excellent aswell

How long did Def Leppard play for?

mean gene

1hr 38 mins

Saw them first time in the Point in 92, last night was my fifth time to see them.
Hadn’t planned to go initially but ended up getting 2 free seated tickets on Fri night.

Had to go on my own so initially thought of not going or swapping for GA tickets to sneak in!

Went with seated and delighted with decision on both counts. Brilliant gig from start to finish and thought they never sounded better.

PTH2009

It's hard to knw when they will play here again. Before this was 2015 and 2011 Before that

Last night shows was for me the ultimate Dec Leppard show and it's hard to see them topping that setlist in the future

One thing that sells for them is they always bring quality support on the road with them and that will be a big factor for future Irish Def Leppard shows
