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.
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! ❤😂
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 😭😭😭😭😭
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 !
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!
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
@@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.
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. ! 😊
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.
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💥🍻✌🏻
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!!
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!
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
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....😢❤
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.
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 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 RUclips 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 !!
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. ✌ 😇
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.
I've seen them many times at many ages, but I'm SOOOOO grateful I got to see them on this tour at the height of their awesomeness. Saw them at my college in Pullman WA that tour and it was AMAZING!
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.
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.
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.
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 seen Def Leppard in 83 Pyromania tour I'll always love DF they were so amazing! I wished the kids today had what we had growing up real rock and roll music!
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 was at the Cal Expo show in Sacramento, CA on August 16, 1988 and this brings back good memories! I was 19 at the time. My one and only time seeing DL! It was hotter than hell that night and I was high as a kite! I remember driving to the show with my girlfriend, in my 1965 Mustang Fastback, and we over-heated on the freeway, we had to park in a commercial area about 1 mile from the venue. I miss the 80s so much, good times!
Just on the principle of sheer guts and determination, makes Rick Allen the best drummer in the world. No one else but him could have pulled it off. He has my undying respect.
I saw Def Leppard live a few times... one of the best bands live man seriously.... it's always heavier and a little faster than the studio tracks on the albums.... and they were always so tight man... like they practiced nonstop day and night.
Joining in after a long time after this show, but wanted to say hello to my Buddy Phay and all of you guys! From "Dr" Dave (U2 Crew) now in ARKANSAS of all places. Had a few crisis this summer and finally making it back into life's normal stage again. Lost my Son in 2016 but wife and I are still alive and kickin with the perverbial hole in our hearts that will never heal over our Son but Have to go on so we will see each other again in a place we all call heaven. TTYS Gents. God Bless and Keep on Rockin til you drop.
My first big concert, as a 14 year old hard rock/metal kid, was Def Leppard. March 1988, Skedsmohallen Norway. MSG as support (at that time McAuley Schenker Group). I've been to hundreds of concerts since then (including 3 more with Def), but still nothing comes close to that one! The 80's were a great time to grow up! Too bad the world lost one its greatest guitarists in january 1991...RIP Steve.

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!

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.
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.

I was at this show, drove all the way from Dallas Tx. to party with my best friend and go to this show.
Good Times.
Me too. SOLD OUT>>>>> 4 encores. They have ALOT of unused footage.
I saw this tour in 1987 and it was one of the best shows ever. Tesla opened the show. It rocked.
My hero on this tour was Rick Allen. It was the first tour after his terrible car accident, where he lost his left arm.
The 80's. The best decade ever.
How rick allen is still able drum with one arm ill never know, what a absolute musician.
What a great Complement!! He is an Absolute Musician!!! Cheers From Olympia wa, USA
That whole story is just amazing. Watch the documentary. The way he relearned to play IN the hospital!

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've seen them many times at many ages, but I'm SOOOOO grateful I got to see them on this tour at the height of their awesomeness. Saw them at my college in Pullman WA that tour and it was AMAZING!
I’m somewhere in that crowd.. 🤘
Joe Elliots voice in top condition here!
He does sound fanstastic..
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 ..
Omg, also in the Song, 'Tonight'.........
Yup. The high harmonies also sound way better than their earlier shows too.
@@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.
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...!
I know this comment is 4 years old , but just wanted to say he did NOT lose his right arm. He lost his left arm.
If anyone is building a time machine to go back to this concert, I am so in...
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.
Yeah!!!
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.
Best live performance of this song EVER! I am so grateful that I got to see this tour live back in the day! ❤️
Compare with twerked Miley or any young singer these days and Def Leppard are unmatched like heaven and hell.. Def Leppard rules..
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.
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
The women at this concert are rocking out harder then the guys! Our women were bad ass back then!!!!
@kevinlampe2350 because the men were better
And I was one of them. GenX here, 55 & grew up in the best of times.
Yes! Yes we were!
Dude playing the drums with one arm plays better than most with 2... what a show!
Thunder God! xx
One of their absolute best songs. The guitars, the vocals, the melody, the bridge ~ it's all there.
Amazing Performance!!
R.I.P. Steve Clark.
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.....!!!!!!
I still get goosebumps watching this! Best concert I’ve ever been to! (Houston). 🇬🇧🤘🇺🇸
I never get tired of them.
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 ❤️
You guys are AMAZING , THANKYOU RIP Steve
the real def leppard steve amazin amazin and great guitar player,,great sound,,,,we miss you steamin
Bridman Marin verdad
I seen Def Leppard in 83 Pyromania tour I'll always love DF they were so amazing! I wished the kids today had what we had growing up real rock and roll music!
Def Leppard has always been one of my all time favorites! 🎶🎸🎤🤟
They had the energy to hold a concert in the round. What an epic opening...
They sound absolutely fantastic here. Joe’s at the top of his game here !!!!
He really is 🤘🏻
Canada Loves Deff LEPPARD...the band lives on !!!!
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!
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.
I had the pleasure of seeing them on the British leg of this tour...twice.
Lets not forget Rick Allen THE BEATMASTER
concerts will never be like this ever again.....depressing...
3 years later...you are still correct.
Steven Clark’s spin 💗💗 Best outfit of his in this footage!!❤️
Ah the energy in that arena and from the band, especially Joe! I miss seeing that liveliness. At least we have these videos to look back on.
What a CONSERT!! ; ) ; ) ONE OF THE BEST BANDS IN HISTORY!!! Would be awesome to see them here in the 80s in Action!!
I was there! 😁
I was at the Cal Expo show in Sacramento, CA on August 16, 1988 and this brings back good memories! I was 19 at the time. My one and only time seeing DL! It was hotter than hell that night and I was high as a kite! I remember driving to the show with my girlfriend, in my 1965 Mustang Fastback, and we over-heated on the freeway, we had to park in a commercial area about 1 mile from the venue. I miss the 80s so much, good times!
Got this DVD but Knowing others are watching this makes it even Better. Saw them 5x...My Fav Band...ya Think lol
Just on the principle of sheer guts and determination, makes Rick Allen the best drummer in the world. No one else but him could have pulled it off. He has my undying respect.
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
Amazing sound quality for the time
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?
I saw Def Leppard live a few times... one of the best bands live man seriously.... it's always heavier and a little faster than the studio tracks on the albums.... and they were always so tight man... like they practiced nonstop day and night.
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!!!!!!
Never ever be another era like this. I'm glad I was there! ❤
Steve Clark.. Def Leppard never the same without him.
Junior/Senior in hs the good ole days. This is some of the best of what we had going on.
Damn that opening of Hysteria sends shivers!
Andrew hand, that's because of Steve. He was everything.
Nothing's left without him.
Just an empty spot where he used to be.😢
Charlottetown Spud how bout that ending though....
yes, yes it does. I even started tearing up haha
I don't care how old I get, this song will always rock.🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Joining in after a long time after this show, but wanted to say hello to my Buddy Phay and all of you guys! From "Dr" Dave (U2 Crew) now in ARKANSAS of all places. Had a few crisis this summer and finally making it back into life's normal stage again. Lost my Son in 2016 but wife and I are still alive and kickin with the perverbial hole in our hearts that will never heal over our Son but Have to go on so we will see each other again in a place we all call heaven. TTYS Gents. God Bless and Keep on Rockin til you drop.
My first big concert, as a 14 year old hard rock/metal kid, was Def Leppard. March 1988, Skedsmohallen Norway. MSG as support (at that time McAuley Schenker Group). I've been to hundreds of concerts since then (including 3 more with Def), but still nothing comes close to that one! The 80's were a great time to grow up! Too bad the world lost one its greatest guitarists in january 1991...RIP Steve.
