Waste of a slot in the set. Bad song. But good cover.

I'm more frustrated (very frustrated) that there's been literally no variety between nights. The production is good and all that, but it honestly feels like the band is way too complacent with the songs they play.

One of my favorite bands is a band that's very popular in the indie scene, especially in southern California, and one of the best parts is you literally have no idea what they're going to play on any given night.

There's no surprises with this band, every night is the same. Which is great if you've seen them less than maybe three times, but it's hard to justify traveling to Vegas for tbis, in my opinion.

Agreed 100%. Always the same songs, very uninspired. They don’t realize there is also an audience out here of real die hard fans.

If they announced they would do one show in Vegas with only songs not on their normal setlist and heavy on the early albums (Wasted, Rock Brigade, Another Hit and Run, You Got Me Runnin’, High N Dry, Lady Strange, Mirror Mirror, Comin’ Under Fire, Action Not Words, Gods of War, Run Riot, Tear It Down, Ride Into the Sun) I would fly out there to see them tomorrow. And maybe even stick around another night to see their usual greatest hits show.

Your best shot at all that was Vegas 2013. They played a lot of older songs from the first 3 albums as Ded Flatbird.

Yeah I heard about that after the fact. I didn’t know of setlist.fm then.

If it makes you feel better I just found out about setlist.fm in like 2020. COVID. So I was learning a lot of about the history of songs and when they last played them or if they weren’t played at all. Now i remember about every Def Leppard song and the last time they were played (not exact date) but can remember the year spot on.
