This was a truly special run of shows for Def Leppard. The band really took it upon themselves to challenge themselves in a live setting in ways they haven't in a long time. To spice things up, they embraced the idea of opening for themselves, opting to play as the Def Leppard cover band "Ded Flatbird." Each Ded Flatbird set saw a changing setlist every night, culling from a core group of songs. A short intermission followed the roughly 45 minute set, and Def Leppard (proper) would return to play the entire Hysteria album and a two song encore.

This is a compilation of all the songs they played during the residency, assembled to model their set format. It includes three assembled Ded Flatbird sets plus a complete Hysteria set. The songs are pulled from various nights on the run. I will leave the fans to guess which song is from which show.

This mix is for all the fans who went to the shows and helped push the band to elevate their game. Open up a big bag of Doritos, kick back, and play this set loud. If you have issues with the sound, selection of songs, this compilation, or me in general...well have an extra bag of spicy Doritos on me and feel the burn.

This was truly a spectacular showing by the band. Easily the most excited I've gotten for a Def Leppard show. I was glad to see it covered so extensively by a great collaboration of tapers, and now everybody can enjoy some of the choice picks from this run.
