Def Leppard have played the Pyromania classic Comin' Under Fire live for the very first time, a mere 41 years after the album's release.
The performance took place during a 12-song set at The Garage, part of SiriusXM's West Coast HQ on Sycamore Avenue, in Hollywood's studio district, ahead of Def Leppard's headlining tour with Journey , which kicks off this Saturday (July 6) at Busch Stadium in Saint Louis, MO.
Introducing Comin' Under Fire, frontman Joe Elliott confirms it's the song's live debut, telling the small audience, "Here's one we've never played before. So, enjoy!"
The setlist at The Garage (see below) may provide some clues as to band's plans for the tour, with guitarist Phil Collen telling Ultimate Classic Rock that the staging will be "drastically different" from their 2022/23 Stadium Tour shows with Mötley Crüe .
"We changed the whole set," says Collen. "You know, there’s a whole screen [production] and we’ve been using pretty much the same stuff for like 12 years. So we’ve changed it completely. The stage show is drastically different. It’s going to take a lot of energy. There’s going to be a lot of running around.
"So I’m working out, trying to get the stamina up and all of that. Vocally, too. You know, I’m having to sing every single day. We did rehearse in L.A. for a two week period and finished with a SiriusXM gig. Production rehearsals in St. Louis will lead up to the first gig."
