KISS and Def Leppard Current Tour Setlist

Let's discuss the current setlists that KISS and Def Leppard are using on their summer tour together. I'll be seeing the show next month in Cincinnati and I'm more excited about Def Leppard than KISS. I'm a bigger Lep fan and that's just the way it is. Still I wish the band would shake it up a bit and offer some other songs in their set. I can't complain too much - my faves "Animal," "Hysteria" and "Bringin' on the Heartbreak" are all there. But would it kill them to throw in something like "Slang?" I mean, that was a single. I can totally do without "Let's Get Rocked" and/or "Rock of Ages."

The KISS setlist is a little more inventive and all the classics are represented. I'm sure some die-hard KISS fans are clamouring for some more obscure tracks, but that isn't what these co-headline tours are about I suppose. 


King of the Night Time World
Cold Gin
War Machine
Hide Your Heart
Christine Sixteen
Shout It Out Loud
I Love It Loud
Makin' Love
Psycho Circus
Let Me Go, Rock 'N' Roll
Black Diamond
Detroit Rock City
Rock and Roll All Nite 

So, what do you think of the sets? What would you drop and add if you were in charge?

Kiss should come on stage in jeans and t shirts. That would be different. Ask yourself, "is it the delivery or the message" that I have I problem with? Or both?

Where's all the KISS hits? I'm going on July 26t and I was expecting the good stuff like Strutter, Love Gun, Two Sides Of The Coin, Flaming Youth, God Of Thunder,even Beth. KISS are also known to do a Zeppelin or Stones cover at most shows, so I would expect something along those lines. As for Def Leppard, I think this setlist is pretty fucking awesome...

KISS could have/should have made this 40th anniversary tour something special with big changes in the setlist. Instead they continue with the same old stuff. You only get to hear them play the different tunes if you are rich and can afford the meet and greets or KISS kruises.
