The first disc, taken from the band's 30 March performance, contains all 12 tracks from Def Leppard's 1987 album Hysteria, followed by an encore of two hits from their 1983 album Pyromania, which were "Rock of Ages" and "Photograph." The second disc has a selection of deeper cuts, many of which the band had not played in many years or even decades prior to the residency. The band performed the songs on the second disc under the alias Ded Flatbird as the "opening act" for the show, before playing all the songs on the Hysteria album as Def Leppard later in the night.
Tracks 1–8 on the second disc are eight of the nine songs played from the Ded Flatbird opening set on 29 March (excluding the fifth track played that night, "When Love & Hate Collide").[4] Tracks 9–15 on the second disc are the opening set from the following night, 30 March. This notably ends with the band playing all of side one of the band's 1981 album High 'n' Dry. Both Ded Flatbird sets open with the band playing a short excerpt of The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again".

The DVD and Blu-ray releases, which also had a short stint in selected theaters around the world,[5] contain the same track listing as the CD version, on one disc. The main difference is that the tracks on CD disc one comprise the main feature, and the songs on CD disc two are bonus features along with the Acoustic Medley.
