Def Leppard kicked off their Las Vegas residency on Friday at The Joint in the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
Leppard will perform 11 shows at the club between March 22 and April 13.
Guitarist Phil Collen says the band will be recording the Vegas concerts for a live album release.
“Absolutely, we are going to do 'Hysteria Live',” Collen told Classic Rock Revisited recently. “We are going to do ‘Hysteria’ from start to finish,” explains the guitarist. “We are actually doing two sets; we are going to open up for ourselves. We are going to do 45 minutes, take a break and then do ‘Hysteria’. We are learning hundreds of songs and we are going to be doing songs that we’ve not played in years, or that we’ve never done. It is going to be really great.”
“The first set will never be the same; we will change it every night,” adds Collen. “They will all be Def Leppard songs. We may play songs that we’ve covered of other people. It is going to be very fun for us. We are not sure what we are going to play. We are digging stuff up from the first album and the second album and we are just going to really do a lot of stuff that the fans will love.”
