Toronto Skydome - Our Travel Adventures

We went to the Rogers Center (which I will always think of as the Toronto Skydome) to see the Def Leppard, Journey, Cheap Trick concert. It was really amazing to see this many people still filling a stadium to see these bands after all of these years. Def Leppard was the first concert I ever attended on July 5th, 1983 at Hara Arena in Dayton, Ohio.

I have seen Def Leppard many, many times over 4 decades now…

The setlist for the show in 1983 was:

01 – Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop)
02 – Rock Brigade
03 – High ‘N’ Dry (Saturday Night)
04 – Another Hit And Run (extended)
05 – Billy’s Got A Gun
06 – Mirror, Mirror (Look Into My Eyes)
07 – Foolin’
08 – Photograph
09 – Rock Of Ages (sing-a-long)
10 – Bringin’ On The Heartbreak
11 – Switch 625 (Instrumental)
00 – Phil Collen Guitar Solo/Intro
12 – Let It Go
00 – Steve Clark Guitar Solo/Intro
13 – Wasted
14 – Stagefright
15 – Travellin’ Band – (By Creedence Clearwater Revival)

For this show, 41 years later(!), the setlist was:

01 – Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop)
02 – Rocket (Single Version)
03 – Foolin’
04 – Armageddon It
05 – Animal
06 – Love Bites
07 – Just Like ’73
08 – Billy’s Got A Gun
09 – Too Late For Love
10 – Die Hard The Hunter (Short Version)
11 – Two Steps Behind (Short Version/Acoustic on Thrust Stage/Joe Elliott Only)
00 – Happy Birthday Joe Elliott
12 – This Guitar (Acoustic on Thrust Stage)
13 – Bringin’ On The Heartbreak (Acoustic/Electric on Thrust Stage)
14 – Switch 625 (Instrumental)
15 – Rock Of Ages
16 – Photograph
17 – Hysteria (Extended Outro)
18 – Pour Some Sugar On Me

It was great to hear a more obscure B side like Billy’s Got A Gun off of Pyromania. Would have liked to hear a couple of the rockers from High N Dry though.
