Right and this tour is after Pete Willis was replaced by Joe Elliott, The drummer just lost his arm a few years back. Steve Clark is still playing in the band. Not to much later in their career as a group Steve dies from an overdose. So they have to go through another transformation.
Exactly , his feel & heart , Def Leppard isn't the same. He was my favorite in the band ! He wrote a lot of the Music, and it's missing his impact. I feel what you said above !
as a 21 year old in 2022 who wasnt alive then but was raised on 80s music, watching these videos hurts knowing i’ll never see them in their prime 😭😭😭😭😭
Amen Got that right. I miss the 80's not to mention the high school parties, high school football games, hanging out at the lake driving them boats and water skiing. Listening to all old classic rock with friends. Having bonfire and just hanging out with old friends.
I don't cry megan. I smile because he left behind him wonderful music for us to remember him by for ever. I miss him though. To actually witness him play live in concert twice during the 80's was a privilege,and something i will take with me to the great gig in the sky.!! "Where we will all see him play live again once more."
@@spearhead787 you are so lucky that you saw him twice! For Pyromania I was 8 months pregnant....and yes, for Hysteria I was 3 months pregnant, lol! Can you tell me how was on stage? I wish so badly that I could've seen him perform!
@@renee-kingsdaughter5584 you are so lucky too!!! I wish so much that I could've seen him! He looked so truly happy while performing! I miss him, but he will also be our Angel forever.
@@ilovesteveclark6084 Don't i know it. I'd love to go back and do it again.! That's too bad you were pregnant twice at that time megan. I'm sure your kids have made you proud. I saw him at donnington festival in 86,and on this tour here in england in 88. He was just as you see him here in this video. Great showman and brilliant guitar playing. At the festival he was in different stage clothes to these. (Just white shirt and used look jeans.) All this is reminding me I'm 55 now 🙄 Catching Joe Elliot up fast he's 59 now. Mind it's only numbers,but they just get bigger. ! 😊
@@isabeldyer161 I had my Gibson Les Paul autographed by Phil and Steven. We hung out for about 10 minutes. When a security officer tried ushering us out Steven yelled out to the officer " PISS OFF MATE!!" Still remember it as if it were yesterday.
@@rodrigoibarra613 Pretty easy way for a musician to come across as sympathetic to the audience. If things go wrong, the responsibility lies with security. I speak from my own experience
Most bands don’t sound this strong out of the studio. Good lord! They’re tight, their harmonies are perfect, and Joe Elliott has got it all going on. Wow. Simply wow.
Love Joe's voice.. even now..but As much as they toured and as high as he sang, he did a great job of holding on to his voice.. they really were hitting the touring, road life scene by 78 and this is 88.. and it lasted well into the later 90's ..
@@josephcebelinski2070 He does in this clip, but the entire "In the round, In your face" was pretty heavily overdubbed. There is a raw soundboard of February 12, 1988 out there, and he isn't as spot on with notes as this video makes it seem like he was. He actually screws up Hysteria in one place by going back into a verse when it was time to end the song, but makes up for it by nailing Heartbreak, probably the toughest song in the setlist.
Saw Steve Clark`s audition in the sheffield spoon factory rehearsal space. It was Freebird - took our breath away. I didn't`t realise till today what a big deal he became. Free spirit.
@@14thedock A real moment in rock and roll history for sure. Joe Elliot talks about it in interviews and describes how much he was blown away. I (and I am sure lots of others) would love to know more.
@@alcyonepiano I was in the band when it was a casual tuesday evening jam at Tapton school youth club. I was in the same class as Sav. When they left school at 16 they got jobs with british rail and bought big amps and found a practice room in the factory down london road. I went down on sunday afternoons with my friend Anne Brownbridge who was going out with Tony Kenning to listen to their progress. Steve came along to audition and they'd probably agreed to run through freebird. It all sounds good but when they got to the end he just steams in with this note perfect solo that was just relentless out of the stratosphere! We looked at each other and thought wtf! The energy just transformed the band - not that they were bad you understand but he ignited them!
Long Live Def Leppard. Have been to many shows. And thanks to my dear friend who told me about them when On Through The Night came out. She is no longer here but smiling down from heaven
Im 51. 80's hair metal was the soundtrack to my life back then. Listening to this stuff can literally bring tears to my eyes just thinking about all of it. The music, the stories, the love, boyfriends, girlfriends,...the ballads...school dances, slow dances, first kisses, first times for everything, best friends, the long hair, the BIG Hair!, Friday night cruisin', gettin all made up to see our favorites live and proudly wearing the t shirt to school the next day.....i could go on forever! ❤😂
Now the greatest rock band that ever took the stage is in the hall of fame. Steve CLARK smiles upon this Earth. JOE was awesome in acceptance speech. DEF LEPPARD will always rule. They are the story of my life. CONGRATS GUYS.
Oh yeah you're right so much great talent we've lost whatever happened to Joe Elliott I heard he's in rehab fightnews drug addiction but you know what's strange couple of rockstars got saved like Alice Cooper striper Tell You Folks Jesus saves
The best show opening I've ever witnessed! Saw them in Raleigh. The electricity in the air, tons of pretty women, hair spray, pheromones and shredded jeans! It was a huge euphoric party that still leaves a smile on my face.
Rumor about this concert.. the band would go under the stage during guitar solos, drum solo , and have women ready & willing.😜 seen these guys six times & what a blast every damn time💥🍻✌🏻
Steve. R.I.P. Def Leppard 88 I saw it...I was there in Charlotte N.C. Steve was such a superstar....watching him you just felt magic happening in front of you! The man was the greatest showman ever!! U had to see him in concert to truly ever understand! He was just mesmerizing! R.I.P. Steamin' Steve Clark Rock Star Genius. Jamming in Heaven!
karen glenn No need to fear... because Steve is here....all around us....with magic dust....playing a steaming solo....saying hello....I'm in Heaven but....do you want to get yourself rocked ? June 6 2018. These lyrics just came to me so easy because I'm a massive Def Leppard fan and miss Steve Clark.
Steve Clark had that "it" factor. That unteachable method of playing and writing riffs. His partnership with Phil Collen was absolutely perfect for the band and they made each other better. Steve could play something really cool and Phil could then expand on that and but the finishing touches on it to make the perfect song. The guitars in "Gods of War" are a great example of that collaboration. It's too bad that Steve could not get clean like Phil did back then.
Craig that's because he suffered from more then addiction. Have you ever noticed that some of the best artist's usually suffer from some kinda mental disorder and its usually depression and to keep others from noticing that's where the drugs come into play leading to addiction and trying to quit a drug addiction is a fight itself but can be done with a strong frame of mind and positive attitude but ya throw depression in on it and its dam near impossible. Steve was a beautiful man with a beautiful soul and im honored that I got to see them both through his music. He plays for the almighty now and suffers no more. R.I.P. Steve. ✌ 😇
During that tour there was a lot of talk and haters about Def Leppard not being the same band Rickl Allen loosing his right arm ( He's right handed by the way) he can't hit all the notes, he's too slow on the set, they need another drummer, an array[] of list... I went to that concert in Fort Lauderdale, Florida ( I was 14 years old). They stole the night, seized the moment, left all critics silent. Till now 31 years later. And Fact The Greatest Live and Rock band Alive in Concert! Better to Burn Out, Than Fade Away...!
This was a pretty pivotal show in the band's history--Hysteria had sold well at that point, but not well enough to make back the costs of recording the album. "Pour Some Sugar On Me" came out later in the spring, using footage from this concert in the video, and album sales went utterly ballistic. You couldn't turn on a Top 40 station all summer and not hear at least one, if not two, Def Leppard songs every hour. Such great childhood memories from that year.
Yes. At the time of this concert the album has very much under performed and it was looking like they were going to lose money on it because it cost a fortune to make. Then as you said, Pour Some Sugar came out a couple of months later and it launched them into the stratosphere becoming one of the biggest hard rock albums of all time. But at the time of this show they were sweating it a bit.
This is real music. I grew up on def leppard. Still listening it's been over 30 years and it's still the best. Live out of studio no matter. This band is top. Goosebumps at 5am listening to a live performance.
So young and so flashing Def Leppard! And Steve was alive. The concert is awesome. RIP Steve Clark. You're still always the part of Def Leppard for me.
I was at this concert!! It was a blast!! I remember when we walked into McNichols that night we didn't know they were filming until we passed the signs that said, "By passing this point you agree to be filmed...etc." Tesla opened for them and it was SO LOUD we almost didn't hear Def Leppard. Fantastic memories!!
They still are the best band in the world I love there music which I grew up with. I had a huge crush on Joe Elliott growing up he is still a good looking man keep rocking Def Leppard forever
Too Late For Love and Hysteria had some of the best guitar riffs in the '80's Steve Clark was an underrated guitarist in his time, just one man's opinion, him and Phil were among the best teams in history!!!
I was at this show in Denver! By far, the best concert I've ever been to! I'm so glad I got the chance to see Steve "Steamin" Clark before he died...he will always be incredibly missed...one of the best guitarists that has ever lived! I've seen Def Leppard many times since, but this time had the best memories! Love Def Leppard and especially Joe Elliot! Can't wait to see you guys again! RIP Steve...you can never be replaced....😢❤
I saw DL on this tour back in ‘88 or ‘89. Queensryche opened for them to promote their Livecrime album. I was a QR fan too. They played to a disinterested audience.When Geoff Tate screamed, “Does anyone here believe in love?” the thousands of DL fan tween girls screamed. Then Tate said, “We’ll, I don’t,” and they kicked in to I don’t believe in love! I thought there was no way DL could follow that. But DL was awesome!!
I saw Def Leppard twice in Denver back some years ago, they sounded great both times and kicked serious rock ass. My son was about eight years old the second time and we saw Cheap Trick, Poison and Def Leppard in that order. He asked me, " Dad can we go backstage after the concert and meet Def Leppard ?" I had watching UA-cam videos of songs from these bands so we sang along and played air instruments. Now he's 15 years old and is a drummer in his high school marching band. He listens to rock mainly from the late 1960s through modern rock. Thank you to all you boys in the present version of Def Leppard; Steve Clark always loved never forgotten and even Pete Willis for that awesome beautiful Def Leppard music !! Having a crap day ? Listen to Pyromania, turn it up to 11 and let it f'n scream !!
Группа моей молодости, очень талантливые ребята,спасибо им огромное за их выступления, песни и музыку.Отличный коллектив, когда слушаешь их выступления на душе прекрасно, просто кайф ❤❤❤
You can call me old, boomer, biased... whatever you like (and it's all true, tho in reality I'm a Gen X'er) I am so glad I grew up in a time where this was the music. Kids today raised on Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, and Kendrick Lamar have absolutely no idea what they are missing. The music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s just has a body & soul that today's "makin' beats on my iPhone yo" will never have. Long live heavy metal. Long live rock 'n roll!
Cuando mi hijo me pregunte, que es un espectaculo en vivo, la unica respuesta, sera este concierto. No recuerdo haber visto tanta energia desplegada en 2 horas.
Saw them four times in England on different legs of the Hysteria tour. They were simply superb every night. Steve Clark one of the very very best. Phil up there too of course.
spearhead787 Did you see them? This was my second concert, August 1988. When they dropped the curtain, I jumped on my chair only to get stuck in it, while my friend at the time, threw up in my other friends purse!! Hey, good Metal will do that to ya!! Lol 🤘🏻😎
I didn't had the privilege to be there, I was 16. A friend of mine borrowed this in a VHS tape. Finally I convinced him to trade the tape for some beer. Unfortunately i got no more this tape, but thank God UA-cam exists.
Estos vídeos y grupos de los 80" y 90" habrían k ponerle y k vean el verdedero Rock. A todos esos grupitos de hoy k se hacen llamar grupo de Rock y no tienen la menor idea de lo k es el verdadero Rock aguante Def leppard desde Argentina 2019
Los vi en Chile... son tan perfeccionistas, que tienen estudiados y aprendidos los movimientos en cada cancion... cuando Collen va para un lado, Savage va para el otro... en cada verso de cada cancion, cambian de posicion... unos profesionales de puta madre. Los vi junto a los Guns Roses... y te digo, la diferencia es abismal. Los guns, viven de su exito pasado y se nota aun la lucha de egos entre Slash y Axl... vivien para ver quien hace mas ruido y a quien aplauden mas. Leppard en cambio son una muralla, un bloque... no pifian una nota, no salen del libreto.... las dos unas bandas tremendas... pero los años le sientan mejor a los de Sheffield.
Carson Guthrie it’s cause they didn’t play live most of their shows were pre recorded then played live,,,it’s the sad truth I was really upset when I found out
Emilio Torres not rude but that’s B.S. they did that few few few times. listen to their live shizzle and it’s all real from the vocal chords and heat of the moment. Plus Steve would have killed himself if he did that. Only lip syncs were in ads and even then it was 50/50
Amazing! Awesome performance all around. Damn these guys can sing their ass off! While Phil is good with his speed solos. Steve has the heart and good feel with his riffs and licks. That’s God given. The band was never the same after they lost him.

Thank God there's UA-cam.. the place where you can relive the good old days.
Amen brother there is nothing like those days
I saw def Leppard last night in st Louis and Joe Elliot can still hit damn near every note it's insane
No kidding! I call it pre 9/11 Life and it was the best especially the 80s and 90s!

Aloha so right Ánd still Rocktober 2024. Thank you☮️💗💞
Magical miracle hysteria from DefLeppard this morning 🌈🎶☮️🌺🌺👗🎵🎤
To all the 150 people who gave this a thumbs down. You will never know what talent is so keep listening to Cardi b who will never be relevant.
Who would do such a thing? This is unbelievable music!
Steve Clark is one of the best guitarists that ever walked earth
Off course! 🎸🎸🎸
He is good
I agree. I was there for this!
I only wish that Rick had his arm and that Steve was alive today.
Phil very underated
Yep. And his stagecraft was brilliant was well. Moved around the stage with great style.
this is the greatest version of the band ever.. and Steve will NEVER be replaced... Vivian is awesome.. but Steve was special... we miss him so much.

Powerful ❤️🔥💋
it still hurts

Same age and can confirm this statement very accurately
I saw them in Auckland NZ in 1992 they were awesome bands up until 1998 were the best then music just simply fell over
Welcome to the 80's tribe. I'm very much from that time periode. Remember meeting the vocalist Joe Elliott back in -88. Great guy. Great band!
Just listen. You are the future and the past. Such is the case.
Let me help you. This album is a classic pop/rock thing. It's not a long time ago for me, but for you, yes. Learn an instrument. If takes a long time.
80s girls are the prettiest in history 💖💞❤️💕🎵🎶
They worked hard at it...
Amen Got that right. I miss the 80's not to mention the high school parties, high school football games, hanging out at the lake driving them boats and water skiing. Listening to all old classic rock with friends. Having bonfire and just hanging out with old friends.

I don't cry megan. I smile because he left behind him wonderful music for us to remember him by for ever. I miss him though.

My hero on this tour was Rick Allen. It was the first tour after his terrible car accident, where he lost his left arm.
I almost lost my arm in a motorcycle incident three months before Rick's accident I have always paid attention to his situation! God bless him!

Heather Metz I totally agree!!! He was so happy when he played onstage. Contrary to what we've heard, Steve LOVED touring.
16:20 guitar part is also awesome
Jeans that vocalist J.Elliott wears in this show are still EPIC even in 2022
Yes but Mutt Lange. There is a suspicious guitar solo.
The best tour of the 80's.
I saw this tour in 1987 and it was one of the best shows ever. Tesla opened the show. It rocked.

Best 80s and 90s time. There can't be any music band like them in modern times.
Yep
Pour Some Sugar On Me got its start in a FL strip club and took off from there.
Yes. At the time of this concert the album has very much under performed and it was looking like they were going to lose money on it because it cost a fortune to make. Then as you said, Pour Some Sugar came out a couple of months later and it launched them into the stratosphere becoming one of the biggest hard rock albums of all time. But at the time of this show they were sweating it a bit.
Steve Clark.. Def Leppard never the same without him.
This is real music. I grew up on def leppard. Still listening it's been over 30 years and it's still the best. Live out of studio no matter. This band is top. Goosebumps at 5am listening to a live performance.
So young and so flashing Def Leppard! And Steve was alive. The concert is awesome. RIP Steve Clark. You're still always the part of Def Leppard for me.
Compare with twerked Miley or any young singer these days and Def Leppard are unmatched like heaven and hell.. Def Leppard rules..
Lets not forget Rick Allen THE BEATMASTER

Thank you
i love stagefright omg
@@emmzaru me too! It gives me goosebumps
Have seen Def Leppard a handful of times, never disappointed
Dude playing the drums with one arm plays better than most with 2... what a show!
Thunder God! xx
I'm 14. I wish I grew up to see young Def Leppard. I saw them last year. They were awesome.
I saw them this tour. I was 15.
My daughter says the same thing. I introduced her to the 70’s and 80’s music and she says we were so lucky back then to have music like this.
My very first concert... Big Mac arena in Denver, soooo amazing and lucky to of been there.
I’m 47 and I’ve never seen them. Ive always loved them, just never had a chance to catch them on tour.
Same I'm 13 and I'm so sad because I will never see they
Today's music sucks compare to the 80"s music. Def Leppard was the best rock group in the 1980's and still going strong today.
NO THEY ARE NOT. They are playing Hysteria and Pyromania. No one cares about their newer records.
I was at this concert!! It was a blast!! I remember when we walked into McNichols that night we didn't know they were filming until we passed the signs that said, "By passing this point you agree to be filmed...etc." Tesla opened for them and it was SO LOUD we almost didn't hear Def Leppard. Fantastic memories!!
They still are the best band in the world I love there music which I grew up with. I had a huge crush on Joe Elliott growing up he is still a good looking man keep rocking Def Leppard forever
I like so much the song 'Pour some sugar of me"
Joe’s voice is incredible here 🤍🖤
Sav is always just having a blast, rockin out 🤘🏻
👍❤
Steve Clark had the magic touch. But don't forget of Collen, a fabulous player as well. The two combined made the band great.
THEY ALL MAKE THA BAND GREAT!! THAT'S WHY THEY R HALL OF FAMERS !!!!
Phil very underated imo
the terror twins EPIC.
@wesley wild You don't like High N Dry?!? 'The hell is wrong with you boy?
40 years listening to these guys!
Too Late For Love and Hysteria had some of the best guitar riffs in the '80's Steve Clark was an underrated guitarist in his time, just one man's opinion, him and Phil were among the best teams in history!!!
The terror twins forever.
Really love the hysteria riff ❤️
the real def leppard steve amazin amazin and great guitar player,,great sound,,,,we miss you steamin
Bridman Marin verdad
concerts will never be like this ever again.....depressing...
3 years later...you are still correct.
This performance is BEYOND WORDS...
THE LIKES OF WHICH WE'LL NEVER SEE AGAIN...
I LOVE DEF LEPPARD
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I was at that show, what a great memory.
wow i was at this concert and it was great. Hard to believe its been 24 years.
Just curious; was the concert just as good for you wherever you were in the stadium - as watching this video of it?
Time machine location set cocaine check let's rock and roll fellas
Incredible isnt it, I was there as well.
@@ZitherManCan yes I'll answer for me of course, yes incredible
31 years ago.Unbelievable
34 years ago I had goose bumps, still get them today. Thankyou, what a great feeling. Now we're is my Cutlas S.
The very loved band. The best concert. The best Drums, Stevy dancing and playing... what can we ask for? I love Def Leppard.
Yes yes I love Def leppard forever. 😍🎸🎤🎧
second. they were better in 83
The best drums ????? He`s got ONE arm for fucks sake.....!!!!!!
Canada Loves Deff LEPPARD...the band lives on !!!!
Лепарды - ЛУЧШИЕ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I was at this concert. My girlfriend at the time had a thing for the bass player. Brings back some good memories.... And damn I'm old....
Rick Savage!💋
Yeah. You're right. Steve Clark. Greatness. Timing, tone, soul, phrasing. I respect this band so much. They stick together.
Steve owns that stage...the man is just Awesome!!!..Phil was good but it always about speed with him, Steve had the taste!!….
It's ironic/amazing that Steve was classically trained and Phil was self taught.
And the great hair!
Damn I miss the terror twins 🤘❤️
I was at this show in Denver! By far, the best concert I've ever been to! I'm so glad I got the chance to see Steve "Steamin" Clark before he died...he will always be incredibly missed...one of the best guitarists that has ever lived! I've seen Def Leppard many times since, but this time had the best memories! Love Def Leppard and especially Joe Elliot! Can't wait to see you guys again! RIP Steve...you can never be replaced....😢❤
I never get tired of them.
They had the energy to hold a concert in the round. What an epic opening...
I saw DL on this tour back in ‘88 or ‘89. Queensryche opened for them to promote their Livecrime album. I was a QR fan too. They played to a disinterested audience.When Geoff Tate screamed, “Does anyone here believe in love?” the thousands of DL fan tween girls screamed. Then Tate said, “We’ll, I don’t,” and they kicked in to I don’t believe in love! I thought there was no way DL could follow that. But DL was awesome!!
No way I would want to follow QR back then Goeff Tate was untouchable on vocals.
Best music! Best times! Period. Wish we still had Steve!
What a great concert. I saw them in the early 80s while stationed in Germany. These guys are great live !
I saw Def Leppard twice in Denver back some years ago, they sounded great both times and kicked serious rock ass. My son was about eight years old the second time and we saw Cheap Trick, Poison and Def Leppard in that order. He asked me, " Dad can we go backstage after the concert and meet Def Leppard ?" I had watching UA-cam videos of songs from these bands so we sang along and played air instruments. Now he's 15 years old and is a drummer in his high school marching band. He listens to rock mainly from the late 1960s through modern rock.
Thank you to all you boys in the present version of Def Leppard; Steve Clark always loved never forgotten and even Pete Willis for that awesome beautiful Def Leppard music !! Having a crap day ? Listen to Pyromania, turn it up to 11 and let it f'n scream !!
Группа моей молодости, очень талантливые ребята,спасибо им огромное за их выступления, песни и музыку.Отличный коллектив, когда слушаешь их выступления на душе прекрасно, просто кайф ❤❤❤
2020 still listening to my band
You can call me old, boomer, biased... whatever you like (and it's all true, tho in reality I'm a Gen X'er) I am so glad I grew up in a time where this was the music. Kids today raised on Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, and Kendrick Lamar have absolutely no idea what they are missing. The music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s just has a body & soul that today's "makin' beats on my iPhone yo" will never have. Long live heavy metal. Long live rock 'n roll!
Cuando mi hijo me pregunte, que es un espectaculo en vivo, la unica respuesta, sera este concierto. No recuerdo haber visto tanta energia desplegada en 2 horas.
Glad this was recorded so I can experience this. I was born in the 90s.
Mitch I was born in 2006 how do you think I feel, how ever my mum and dad took me see them in 2018 on their 30th anniversary of hysteria tour
My condolences.
Steven Clark’s spin 💗💗 Best outfit of his in this footage!!❤️
Saw this show during their '88 tour, with Tesla opening, in Charlotte, NC. To this day, still the best live concert I've ever seen.
Saw them four times in England on different legs of the Hysteria tour. They were simply superb every night. Steve Clark one of the very very best. Phil up there too of course.
They sound absolutely fantastic here. Joe’s at the top of his game here !!!!
He really is 🤘🏻
I want 1988
If i had a time machine i'd take you with me and live it all again in a heartbeat. !!!!
spearhead787 Did you see them? This was my second concert, August 1988. When they dropped the curtain, I jumped on my chair only to get stuck in it, while my friend at the time, threw up in my other friends purse!! Hey, good Metal will do that to ya!! Lol 🤘🏻😎
We all do.
Boy, we all do....🤘🏻😞
BEST. Year. Ever.... for heavy music!
I miss so much....:(
Saw this tour in March 1988 here in Pittsburgh. To this day, one of the best shows I've ever seen.
how is joe not one of the best singers of all time..never sounds bad
He IS one of the best singers of all time. They were just inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame three months ago.
Thank YOU!!!!!!
I didn't had the privilege to be there, I was 16.
A friend of mine borrowed this in a VHS tape. Finally I convinced him to trade the tape for some beer.
Unfortunately i got no more this tape, but thank God UA-cam exists.
Estos vídeos y grupos de los 80" y 90" habrían k ponerle y k vean el verdedero Rock. A todos esos grupitos de hoy k se hacen llamar grupo de Rock y no tienen la menor idea de lo k es el verdadero Rock aguante Def leppard desde Argentina 2019
Así es bien dicho
Aguante!
Los vi en Chile... son tan perfeccionistas, que tienen estudiados y aprendidos los movimientos en cada cancion... cuando Collen va para un lado, Savage va para el otro... en cada verso de cada cancion, cambian de posicion... unos profesionales de puta madre. Los vi junto a los Guns Roses... y te digo, la diferencia es abismal. Los guns, viven de su exito pasado y se nota aun la lucha de egos entre Slash y Axl... vivien para ver quien hace mas ruido y a quien aplauden mas. Leppard en cambio son una muralla, un bloque... no pifian una nota, no salen del libreto.... las dos unas bandas tremendas... pero los años le sientan mejor a los de Sheffield.
Vinieron a argentino no hace mucho, me arrepiento de no haber ido a verlos 🤦🏻♂️
Man, how did Joe not lose his voice after just a few songs?! Impressive, and awesome!
Carson Guthrie it’s cause they didn’t play live most of their shows were pre recorded then played live,,,it’s the sad truth I was really upset when I found out
Emilio Torres not rude but that’s B.S. they did that few few few times. listen to their live shizzle and it’s all real from the vocal chords and heat of the moment. Plus Steve would have killed himself if he did that. Only lip syncs were in ads and even then it was 50/50
Yeah it sure sounds and looks like this show, at least, was legitimately live
@@joshloaf89 Exactly!!!
Emilio Torres no it’s called you write songs you can play and called being a good musician
Rick Allen is no joke on the skins, better than most with 2 hands
Just saw Def Leppard in Portland, Oregon, and 36 years later, they still sound friggin' awesome and loud, just like in the 1980s❤
Amazing! Awesome performance all around. Damn these guys can sing their ass off! While Phil is good with his speed solos. Steve has the heart and good feel with his riffs and licks. That’s God given. The band was never the same after they lost him.
Amazing Performance!!
R.I.P. Steve Clark.
I was actually there. Never had seen anything like it.
in the round was awesome. not a bad seat in the house!
Me too. I saw them at Red Rocks too, with their laser show. They are one of the best bands I've seen live. Top 3 with Metallica and Queensryche.
Never ever be another era like this. I'm glad I was there! ❤
