So, funny story- at the time that these guys were officially the loudest band in the world, my dad fell asleep in the third seated row at their concert right at the start, and slept the entire way through. It was actually very sweet- he’d worked three days straight with little to no sleep in order to be able to buy these tickets from a scalper, because this was Mum’s favourite band. So he worked bloody hard and got the tickets for her… and then promptly slept through almost the entire concert. Very sweet though, mum thought it was very romantic, and he must’ve done something right, because they’re still happily together all these years later. I think mum was pregnant with me (though early days) when they went to the concert. I’m 34. So yeah, he did something right.
Brilliant. The audience was wound up from how good the acoustic version sounded. Then they finish the song with their traditional electric version and the crowd went nuts.
Please check out BAND-MAID’s official live video of Dice & Different. The name is because the songs are back to back. You will be blown away by their talent. Guaranteed.
There is also a Def Leppard biopic from the early 2000's that you can find on RUclips. I believe it's called The Def Leppard Story. It was originally on vh1.
As a fan of this song since it was released, I saw a live version of this song where they came at you hard from beginning to end. The long pauses between verses and the softer style were over the top, when they could have been rocking out the entire time.
I can't say just how grateful I am to have seen this concert in Houston, Tx!!! For me, it was the greatest show ever!!! Just goes to show just how far a band has come, when they have to wait for their fans to show some love!! And remember, this concert was years in the making!! After waiting for drummer Rick Allen to fully recover from his accident. And then learning how to play drums again!!
It makes me soooo happy when I see young people love the music that I consider the best era! Some of the 90’s as well but the 80’s are almost flawless!!
I was there, February 13, 1988, night two at McNichols Arena in Denver. Night one (February 11) was used to iron out the kinks the film crew might have encountered the next night. In The Round In Your Face (this concert) was released on DVD as a bonus disc to the Hysteria Expanded Deluxe set back in 2017. This is a great show and worthy of finding if you want to own it.
In The Round was one video released at the end of the Hysteria concert tour in 88. I saw that tour front row. Bringing On The Heartbreak is off of High And Dry and it came out in 1981. You have to listen to the original version. It's the best ock Ballad of all time
That is so cool - i had never heard this particular rendition before (not sure how I could've missed it either considering they're my favorite band) but that was awesome. The only thing that could have made it better is if it included Switch 625 at the end.
im one of the lucky 1s to of seen def leppard in the round(in the middle of the arena) back in 1992 at sheffield arena uk it was a sight to be seen a awesome night i wish they, bring it back for there next tour .
RIP Steve Clark and the drummer Rick Allen started with 2 arms and got into a car accident and lost 1 of his arms and still playing. Steve Clark died due to alcoholism RIP Steve he was the guitarist with the long blonde hair. Much love to you and your family 💕Brandi Modrak 💕❤💙
Steve Clark was, by all accounts, a wonderful human being. But as Joe said: "He had a stage and he had a bottle and that was it..." He was just unable to escape the trauma of his family life and he drank himself to death.
You should check out the original studio version of this song, followed by "Switch 625", the two songs were intended to be listened to back to back and the raw emotion that is captured, between the two songs, is absolutely incredible and I have never heard another band even come close between back to back songs.
It makes me happy that you can hear and see the killer music of hair bands in the 80’s, early 90’s. This was the best music ever I think! That’s just me. I love them! I miss Steve but love Viv!
This concert, and the other videos taken from this concert were filmed over two sold out shows at McNichols Arena in Denver in February of '88. 16,000+ fans each night. It would have been amazing to be at.
"I think im goin insane but i see u here with MEEEEEEE" haha..i usually fast forward most reactions cause i just like jammin with other ppl but i always lets yalls intro rock out
I enjoy watching all of your reactions! And yes, being there at the front of the stage feeling the intense energy of their performance is an experience I will never forget! I have seen them 4 different times. I can not believe that you 2 have not noticed that the drummer Rick Allen has only one arm and he is amazing! (I believe his accident was New Year's 1984)
You should react to the original version 1 of this song. They were so young and you'd seen a young Pete Willis, who was another amazing young talent that couldn't control the alcohol.
No, it was not. Rick Allen’s drum riser would spin at times during the show. I was at the show when this was recorded, February 13, 1988. It’s still one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.
Awesome reaction. Great video and amazing band. So good live. I've seen them a handful of times and the layers they have in songs is incredible. Really great song writers.
Definitely different from the version i have on an LP. Of Course acoustic always sounds good so Rock on. Great band as my daughters so often let me know. Great choice
I grew up in this era. 52 now. “in the Round, In Your Face” was the concert video they put out on VHS , and I’m going to guess Beta as well. A lot of bands did this during that era. I bought this one. They were the biggest band in the world at the time “Hysteria” came out, which was just before this tour. This was after Rick Allen lost his arm in a car accident and they changed their sound to a more produced style and less raw. Nonetheless still an amazing band. Just as you guessed, In the Round because the stage was in the middle of the arena floor and I do believe it was spinning as well. You need to listen to the recorded version of you haven’t. Amazing . I’m in Cleveland as well, going to have to check out one of your shows sometime. A request, do “Piece of Me” By Skid Row off the “Slave to the Grind “ album. A live performance with Sebastian Bach, either the Saturday Night Live performance or from Wembley Stadium 1991. Just FANTASTIC
@@ericwrisley6536 Trust me.. I used the calculator a few times just to double check.. it's insane to think that this song is already over 40 years old.. But, man does it still hold up. It just sucks, cause that means I'm getting old.. :(
I won the bass player's (Rick Savage) jacket he wore at the 1988/89 MTV music awards, it was in 2005, all proceeds went to help Hurricane Katrina victims! I paid $1000.00 USD! Still got it!! It's put away!
Thx so so so so so so muuuuuuuuuchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!! A very "nostalgic" moment for me...really (Remember you Mr Steve Clark, forever since long time... RIP bro) We salute you from France. If we can suggest a React ? Def Leppard Gods Of War
Listen to the original audio to see what it was all about, they were awesome no matter who was in the band. Studio or live they were the stuff of real rock.
"Dude, the drummer only has one arm. I want to have one arm." a text from my, at the time, 15 year old daughter when she saw them wth Cheap Trick & Foreigner back in 2006. Kids say the darndest things.
‘In the round’ meant the strange was round and in the middle of the audience, rather than the more conventionally used setup of a stage at the end of a hall. RIP Steve Clark, gone but never forgotten.
@@joancurrie6748I’ve seen footage of his guitar strap coming off. Not with the double neck tho. It was his style. He was an entertainer.Still very sad the way he died. I just hope he is at piece now
@@adamwood7597 He and the music were one, couldn't take my eyes off him. Viv was right when he said 'Clarkie was born to play live'. Always wonder what they would have sounded like now if Steve was still here. Grateful for what we have of him.
Hello guys! I'm Pythias from the Philippines. I want you guys make a reaction video "die hard the hunter" by def Leppard. In the round in your face concert. Thank you and stay safe
You guys didn't realize that the drummer only has 1 arm? Dude is a legend!!! The singers brother too btw. And the dude with the double neck guitar, "Steamin'" Steve Clark passed on many moons ago. This was the second version of this band as they have changed hands in the guitar position. Back to the drummer, he also probably has the fastest feet on the pedals in rock history, no matter what genre. Do more watching, less dancing around in your chairs with your eyes squinted. Not being mean here, but you guys are my favorites and you miss a lot of good shit. Love ya!
In the round in your face refers to the late 80s early 90s tour in support of their latest album Hysteria in which the had a round stage that was surrounded by the audience. It was innovative and hadn't been done before. They have since said how bad an idea it was. Constantly running around trying to include everyone.
One of the best live moments from Def Leppard. Phenomenal performance.
i grew up with this band in the 80's and still rock to them too this day.
So, funny story- at the time that these guys were officially the loudest band in the world, my dad fell asleep in the third seated row at their concert right at the start, and slept the entire way through.

That is the sweetest thing I've heard in a long time!!!💜💜💜💜
The legendary Steve Clark!! So much magic but also pain in that amazingly talented and brilliant soul. Much loved and missed still.

Hey....do they still make Killian's red beer? 😉😉🍺🍺🍻🍻
It’s way they’ve played since then live. It’s a epic song this way 💯🤘
There is a decent film called hysteria the def leppard story well worth a watch. And RIP Steve Clark.❤️
That thing is garbage. Even the band thinks so.
Mind you, that horrid Queen biopic form a few years ago is just a big-budget version of it.
@@RolandDeschain1 I’d say it’s pretty decent
@@RolandDeschain1horrid Queen biopic? It was one of the best movies ever made really
There is also a Def Leppard biopic from the early 2000's that you can find on RUclips. I believe it's called The Def Leppard Story. It was originally on vh1.
Yes .. from VH1 story’s that Rock.they did a awesome job 💯✌️🤘
As a fan of this song since it was released, I saw a live version of this song where they came at you hard from beginning to end. The long pauses between verses and the softer style were over the top, when they could have been rocking out the entire time.
Team of Phil Collen and Steve Clark. Unbeatable. Gone too soon. RIP Steve Clark. 💔
Def Leppard always give you your money's worth playing live. The guys are magical. What a loss the death of Steve Clark.
Very very sad!
I was 16 yrs old and seen this tour with Tesla as opening act....great show
I can't say just how grateful I am to have seen this concert in Houston, Tx!!! For me, it was the greatest show ever!!!
Just goes to show just how far a band has come, when they have to wait for their fans to show some love!!
And remember, this concert was years in the making!! After waiting for drummer Rick Allen to fully recover from his accident. And then learning how to play drums again!!
"In the round" refers to the concert itself!!!!! the band is in the middle of the venue!!!! They wanted every one to have a great view!!!
It makes me soooo happy when I see young people love the music that I consider the best era! Some of the 90’s as well but the 80’s are almost flawless!!

Joe's voice in the final section when they switched from acoustic to electric is as powerful as a hydrogen 💣 going off!

Went to there early shows, and worked on a couple of there stages.
Always a rock band to the max!!! 😎
Die hard the hunter in the round is amazing as well. You really can see and head the duo greatness of Steve Clark and Phil.
I saw this tour and others but this was a great show.
Def Leppard! Greatest band ever
Im so glad I grew up in the best decade. The 80's were AWESOME
Absolutely. Hands down 🤘
Absolutely agree!!!
Steve Clark was, by all accounts, a wonderful human being. But as Joe said: "He had a stage and he had a bottle and that was it..."
He was just unable to escape the trauma of his family life and he drank himself to death.
Steve’s story is very sad, but at least he left behind his beautiful music.
One of the best rock bands of all time.
Coming under fire or mirror mirror by def leppard, ufffff masterpieces. Those corus and guitars at the same time, amazin
You should check out the original studio version of this song, followed by "Switch 625", the two songs were intended to be listened to back to back and the raw emotion that is captured, between the two songs, is absolutely incredible and I have never heard another band even come close between back to back songs.
I saw hysteria in the late 80s. It was so loud cuz the speakers hung from the ceiling in your face. It was awesome.
High n' Dry is by far Leppard's best album just raw and powerful. great album.
It makes me happy that you can hear and see the killer music of hair bands in the 80’s, early 90’s. This was the best music ever I think! That’s just me. I love them! I miss Steve but love Viv!
I like Viv but Steve Clark was it for me. I'll always love and miss him 😢 😔 ❤
Def Leppard was never a hair band. So sick of seeing people claim this. It's nonsense. Learn something.
You should check out Def Leppard behind the music! It’s really awesome and the band mates take you through the history of the band, awesome
Yep, this is the time when DL were at their prime on live performance and studio production. Game changers then.
That was my childhood. I had this concert on VHS baby
Dang big Def Leppard fan and I never heard this version . I even seen them on this tour.
Just discovered this channel. Love what you are doing, reviewing my favourite band. Greetings from England.
This concert, and the other videos taken from this concert were filmed over two sold out shows at McNichols Arena in Denver in February of '88. 16,000+ fans each night. It would have been amazing to be at.

Man this takes me back. I finally got to see them LIVE in 87 and WOW. They put on an excellent show.
I enjoy watching all of your reactions! And yes, being there at the front of the stage feeling the intense energy of their performance is an experience I will never forget! I have seen them 4 different times.
I can not believe that you 2 have not noticed that the drummer Rick Allen has only one arm and he is amazing! (I believe his accident was New Year's 1984)

You should react to the original version 1 of this song. They were so young and you'd seen a young Pete Willis, who was another amazing young talent that couldn't control the alcohol.
Def leppard, Lady Srange from High n Dry, will blow you's away!
Definitely one of their best
The whole stage was spinning so everyone could see them. Brandi Modrak 💕
No, it was not. Rick Allen’s drum riser would spin at times during the show. I was at the show when this was recorded, February 13, 1988. It’s still one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.

Definitely different from the version i have on an LP. Of Course acoustic always sounds good so Rock on. Great band as my daughters so often let me know. Great choice
Also RIP to Steve Clarke. Just a phenomenally talented guitarist. You should also check out “Photograph” , and “High n Dry”
i saw them in concert in 89 we were front row center in st.paul, mn increadable show.
The round is in Denver Co. And basically the whole stage slowly turns so that they are facing the whole audience at some point during the concert.
The stage doesn't move, only the drum riser does.
This song is a power ballad, great guitars on the original album.
I grew up in this era. 52 now. “in the Round, In Your Face” was the concert video they put out on VHS , and I’m going to guess Beta as well. A lot of bands did this during that era.

The crowd was supposed to sing that part of the song. They didn't get it .I'd be laughing too. The bad was like wtf.

I had posters of them and so many others!!!
Just saw them again in San Diego
"In The Round In Your Face" is the name of that concert video, back when they released then on VHS.
