Images from the concert show edgy black and white backdrops and images of ribs and skeletons, as well as a humungous female robot-like statue on stage.
Speaking on Monday's show, Joe Elliott of Def Leppard said: "Well, it finally arrived. We were so looking forward to bringing The World Tour with Motley Crue back to our home turf and what a spectacular night it was.
"We knew after how well the stadiums went down last year in North America and earlier this year in South and Central America that our UK and European fans were going to really enjoy this show.
"But last night in Sheffield, where it all started many years ago, exceeded even our expectations. If the reaction we had last night at Bramall Lane is any indication, this UK and European leg of The World Tour is going to be fantastic."

Motley Crue added: "We literally just finished in the recording studio with Bob Rock and headed straight to the UK to start The World Tour with Def Leppard.
"Sheffield was an amazing first UK crowd and we’re excited for the rest of the shows including the legendary Wembley Stadium on July 1.
"Both Motley Crue and Def Leppard have been really busy and are now ready to rip it up live across all of Europe together."
