Def Leppard Live In Boston By Mitch Lafon, Contributor Tuesday, October 8, 2002 @ 7:00 AM
After having sat thru the good (Pink and Avril), the bad and the ugly, it was time for the main attraction... Def Leppard! The band had looked a little tired on their last tour in North America, so it was anybody's guess as to what tonight's show would bring. Luckily, the band brought back the excitement they had on earlier tours. Could it be that the critical acclaim of their new album X has put a bounce back in their walk or was it simply that the band wanted to show the others on the bill the true meaning of 'rock band'? Either way, it was hard to find anything to complain about this night.
Sure, the band could have dropped the song “Promises” from the set for “Bringing On The Heartbreak” or even “Rock Brigade” (for that matter) and, yes, the sound at first needed some tweaking in the mix, but at the end of it all... it was Def Leppard in an arena in North America in 2002... How can that not be good?
SET LIST (in order):
1) Let's Get Rocked 2) Promises 3) Foolin' 4) Animal 5) Love Bites 6) Now 7) Photograph 8) Rocket 9) Armageddon It 10) Pour Some Sugar On Me 11) Rock of Ages (Photos by Mitch Lafon)

It was with great anticipation that I drove from Montreal to Boston to catch one of England's finest back on North American soil. The band was the closing act on a bill that seemed better suited to 'N Sync than Def Leppard, but so what? Also, at the Fleet Center that night were Canada's newest star, Avril Lavigne, the ever energetic Pink (who actually surprised me, by putting on a reasonably rocked out show), the always lethargic David Gray, the "15 minutes of fame" John Mayer, and the "who cares about" Guster and Ruby Horse.
