October 31, 201510 yr I saw this in my in box. $55 for Tesla, Styx, and Def Leppard, with Def Leppard headlining and that seemed strange to me. I would have thought that Styx would be the headliner. Is that a Chicago-centric view of the bands?

Is that a Chicago-centric view of the bands? Yes, Def Leppard is a much bigger name than Styx, though I really like them both. You should know if you go see Styx that they rarely do any of the songs Dennis DeYoung wrote.

I remember fondly my Def Leppard cassette tapes and, yes, I had Styx on vinal.

I don't think the Def Leppard set list has changed in 15 years.

Im sure that would change the set list a bit http://www.setlist.fm/stats/def-leppard-7b....html?year=2015 On very few occasions. They have an 18 song set and they play essentially 16 of the same songs every night and rotate a couple others. In previous years it was the same thing. I was going to go to Loopfest and then looked at the set list and was not interested. Edited November 2, 201510 yr by Harry Chappas
November 2, 201510 yr I'd be interested in seeing Tesla and to a lesser extent Styx but I would have less than zero interest in Leppard. Didn't like em in the 80's and that hasn't changed. Even Beavis and Butthead made fun of Leppard

November 4, 201510 yr It's not Styx or Def Leppard, but reading this thread Edited November 4, 201510 yr by Swingandalongonetoleft
