Cheers to everyone who was at this show! The band looks sooo cool and the crowd looks amazing! I made my pilgrimage to Sheffield 10 years ago and saw the stadium. I have the football club sticker on my car. Anyway- wishing I was there and am sure it was an epic experience. Set list not what I was expecting but checked some boxes. Can’t wait to hear and see all the recaps. ( not to mention the recording?)

Def Leppard were absolutely immense tonight, brilliant set list and the band sounded superb, the difference in sound between Def Leppard and Motley Crue is worlds apart, how can this be ? On the same tour ? Motley Crue sound like they are winging it, Leppard sound like they’re nailing it, Motley Crue can’t hold a candle to Leppard in terms of overall quality.
I’m so happy to have been at this show, 30 years ago I was at Don Valley stadium, aged 9, tonight I’m back in a stadium in Sheffield watching Def Leppard and it was my sons first ever gig, aged 7 !!!! I love this band !!!

Is that true that Steve's mom was there tonight? Rob Joe said that Steves mum and brother Chris were there. His mum was at the last Sheffield show in 2018 too. I think they get tickets from the band / management. |

I love this band !!! Motley Crue all hate each other and are only doing this for the money. Def Leppard remain a band of brothers who love each other and are doing this for the love of playing live, the love of their fans and of course the money (It's why we all get up in the morning and go to work). This is why their is such a difference in performance quality. |

I love this band !!! I was seated in the south stand next to the bands family and friends section. The Motley Crue sound was terrible - most songs inaudible but the sound for Leppard was much better and they sounded great. |

What a great performance.
Crue were better for the last few songs, and it was good to see them again, but my god, Def Leppard were on fire.
Such a polished, blistering performance, and a great set list too.
Great fans too. Amazingly friendly people in the stadium, and outside, and leaving the hotel, and even grabbing a coffee to take on the drive home, I had people asking about the show.
I have seen some great shows and this was up there. Hope the recording comes out well.
Great meeting a few people on here too before the show! Just need to work on convincing the wife to come next time too!

Gig review: Def Leppard and Motley Crue at Bramall Lane, SheffieldThe hometown heroes out-stomp their glam metal buddies at their European double-header tour kick-offBy Andrew Steel “Monday night in Sheffield,” Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott beams a mostly-packed Bramall Lane, on the opening night of their European double-header tour with Mötley Crüe. The singer is dressed in a Union Flag jacket draped in Sheffield United colours; it is a small wonder in a city this partisan about its sport that he has not earned pantomime catcalls for his wardrobe. “Let me ask a question,” he says, with a drop of the eyebrow. “Do you wanna get rocked?” The veteran five-piece – Elliott, bassist Rick Savage, dual guitarists Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell, and drummer Rick Allen – have long resisted a hometown stadium gig, reportedly due to split loyalties between the city’s football clubs. It appears the Blades-loving contingent have won out at last; just days after a warm-up at the 850-capacity Leadmill marked their smallest South Yorkshire show for a generation, this is their biggest for three decades. After a song-and-dance over an alleged legally binding road retirement in 2015, Mötley Crüe’s return following two pandemic-postponed attempts has been dogged by controversy amid a bitter spat with former guitarist Mick Mars. Nevertheless, the success of this joint-bill run in America has facilitated this global trek, though reduced commercial heft in Britain means the self-proclaimed world’s most notorious band are assuredly second-fiddle. More associated with off-stage debauchery than on-record achievements, the quartet – now amplified by ex-Rob Zombie axeman John 5 – remain rooted in Eighties sleaze, replete with skimpily-clad dancers, and offer a entertainingly quasi-shambolic contrast to their touring partners. Home Sweet Home and Kickstart My Heart stand out amid a scrappy show; a medley of proto-punk covers midway through best exemplifies the throw-it-at-the-wall approach that defines their mixed bag of a performance. By contrast, what Def Leppard comparatively lack in retrograde hedonism and jeopardy, they more than out-stomp in mid-tempo precision. Uniformly well-drilled across each beefy note, their set draws heavily from the obvious highlights, with rapturous receptions for Animal and Love Bites. New semi-acoustic ditty This Guitar is touchingly dedicated to the late Steve Clark, whose mother is in the audience; all-time stripper anthem Pour Some Sugar On Me draws an almighty roar. There is no encore, only a final burst of Photograph and a last bow as Sheffield is cloaked in twilight. Next to their glam metal buddies, the local heroes seem positively prudent – but there's nothing wrong with a safe pair of hands in the slightest. Source

I've seen multiple people tweet complaining there was no encore last night. Seriously? They got the encore songs. The band just didn't leave the stage between PSSOM and ROA.

I was surprised, but as you said, they did all the normal encore songs. They could have done Wasted and MLLAM though  |
