Each night after intermission, Def Leppard came back to perform Hysteria in its entirety. This started with Phil Collen on an elevated platform playing the intro to "Women". An important note is that these were the first shows to feature the band playing the whole album front to back. Accordingly, they played the songs in a true-to-album style. Notably, "Rocket" was neither the extended (Lunar mix) nor shortened (single/visualize edit) versions which have been played on recent tours, but a 2013 vintage of the Hysteria album version of the song, while "Pour Some Sugar On Me" was played with the original "Step inside, walk this way" intro as heard on the Hysteria album. Every night, the band played the same encore of its two biggest Pyromania hits, "Rock of Ages", and "Photograph".
