Def Leppard, Styx, Tesla Put On One Hell of a Show in Bismarck [PHOTOS]
If your ears are still ringing Monday morning, there's a pretty good chance you were at the Bismarck Event Center tonight (10/4) for Def Leppard, Styx, and Tesla!
Rock fans in Bismarck-Mandan have been waiting for this show since it was announced all the way back in February and the bands did not disappoint.
Tesla opened the show with a raucous set, featuring some of their biggest hits, including 'Signs,' 'Little Suzi,' and 'Modern Day Cowboy.'
Styx followed and brought an amount of energy few expected from the band. Whether that had anything to do with the fact that this was the band's last date with Def Leppard and Tesla is anyone's guess, but they left it all out on stage. The other bands even had a little fun with Styx, sending a couple of guys on-stage dressed as Minions to dance around during the band's set.
Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen had a very special way of thanking Styx during his band's set:
Thank you Rick, thank you Def Leppard. Such good times, so many killer shows! It's been unforgettable and it went by so fast! Love you all. See you next year!!! TS

Finally, it was time for Def Leppard and the crowd was more than ready. Joe Elliott and company ran through a plethora of hits, including 'Animal,' 'Foolin,' 'Love Bites,' and 'Pour Some Sugar on Me.' Elliott also allowed the thousands in attendance to become members of Def Leppard for just a minute, as he led the crowd in a 'Two Steps Behind' singalong.
