Last night, DEF LEPPARD kicked off their 2009 North American tour with a smashing show in Camden, NJ.

For almost one hour and 45 minutes, Leppard played a selection of their biggest hits in front of an enthusiastic, near sold-out crowd at the Susquehana Bank Center.

For the next two and a half months, the band will travel all across the States (with a short stop in Canada), to play a total of 43 shows. On September 12th, the tour will end when the final show will be played in Auburn, WA.

Also on the bill last night in Camden were CHEAP TRICK and POISON.

According to Poison drummer Rikki Rockett, Joe Elliot (Def Leppard singer) and him "greeted each other with a hug and bid each other good luck with the show! Great opening night. It's great to be out here with Def Leppard and Cheap Trick for the summer!"
