<title>Def Leppard - Las Vegas Residency Announced (and then deleted)</title>
<description> The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino / The Joint announced Def Leppard's Las Vegas residency on their Facebook page this morning, but the post has since been deleted.

If I remember correctly, the first show is Friday, March 22nd. They also said pre-sale tickets go on sale next Wednesday. Nothing else was mentioned in terms of other show dates, ticket prices or VIP packages. 

No info on Def Leppard's offical pages, but I'm assuming something will be (re-) announced soon.

Vivian Campbell has already made mention to the band playing one classic Lep album front-to-back during their residency, but said fans would have to guess which one. My guess is Pyromania as 2013 will be the 30th anniversary of that album...</description><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,919255,919255#msg-919255</link><lastBuildDate>Thu, 20 Jun 2013 07:38:44 +1000</lastBuildDate>

BUT-- they have to be frustrated at knowing they HAVE to play the hits to remain relevant to the biggest fan base. I'm sure they'd love to break into other material,like ANY touring act. But the smart,business sense side tells them to stick to what the majority wants to hear. They gotta play it smart or lose bodies in the crowd at the shows. The minority wants a few different tunes,and unfortunately,that's US music nerds. T]]></description>

I'm sick them Joe whining about not wanting to be a nostalgia act whilst doing everything in his power to be a nostalgia act. If Lep wants to be relevant today, take a year off the road, a year off of side projects and spend some time in the studio writing and recording and putting out a quality release. Nuff of this Sprarkle/Mirror Ball shite.<br /><br />Otherwise, STFU and enjoy being a very wealthy nostalgia band.]]></description>

This will therefore allow them to spend more time listening to Ian Hunter, toning their shirtless bodies and making a quick buck courtesy of the name Ronnie James Dio :-))]]></description>

I love Hysteria to death, but I really thought their resindency would be a good opportunity to celebrate Pyromania - the album that started it all.]]></description>

Elliott already mapped out the next 2-3 DNO CD's so you would think the next one would be ready sometime mid-next year...<br /><br />And Leppard were talking about filming a live DVD on this most recent Rock of Ages tour, but no reports ever surfaced of any shows being filmed. I wonder if they are going to take the opportunity to record this residency - that would make for a much more interesting package for fans than the usual &quot;greatest hits&quot; set - that's for sure...]]></description>

I read an interview someplace with Joe and he said they've never played it, then again Phil I think said they did. I don't think those three have no. Actually, Stagefright was played on the X tour, Eurphoria tour and the Adrenalize tour according to deflepparduk.com. Billy's Got a Gun was played on the X and Slang tour. Die Hard the Hunter was last played on the Adrenalize tour. So its been 10+ years since two of the three have been played though.]]></description>

It would be a shame if they played all of Pyro, then played the normal list of 6 or 7 Hysteria songs. I'd be disappointed if they did that. I wouldn't mind Pyro+those 3 hysteria songs you mentioned plus 5 or so other songs. I don't think anything rare will be played. If they play Pyro all the way through, I think Comin Under Fire might be the only one they've never played. With Hysteria, you'd have Run Riot and Love and Affection that havent been played in a long time. Sadly, other than those, I don't think there will be anything super rare in there.]]></description>

Add the Pyromania anniversary and the fact that Joe Elliott recently said he'd love to play &quot;Comin' Under Fire&quot; in concert and my money is on Pyromania.<br /><br />This would be a good opportunity for them to drop a lot of the Hysteria tracks and mix it up a bit. Keep Sugar, Rocket and Gods of War and ditch the rest for this residency...]]></description>

Even though they play most of it during normal shows anyways. What they need to do is, mix up the songs not from the full album. If they do Pyromania, theyll have enough time for the 6 Hysteria songs. I'd rather see all of Hysteria, then some Pyro songs and some newer Post-Slang songs. Instead of just Pyro, and Hysteria. Then again, I'm not going so my opinion matters none.]]></description>
