These guys aren't just a rock n roll band. They are a band of brothers who stick together through the good and bad. Rick loses an arm, they simply take a break and wait for him to recover. Joe get's sick. Viv and Phil step up and sing! Mad respect to these guys! Always been a Def Leppard fan. Not just cause they play great music, but they really care about each other and their fans.
That really is rare for any band long term, and especially in rock music. I guess the most negativity between Def Leppard members was when they fired Pete forty years ago. Since then, they have demonstrated their love for each other very well. It's another good reason to admire and respect them.
This is the only band I’ve ever seen that seriously cares about each other as brothers and their fans and they go all out to do any and everything for everyone to accommodate themselves and us. They’re all such wonderful musicians. ♥️
I have to admit, I had mixed feelings when Vivian joined Def Leppard. It just didnt seem right, but he has really been the perfect fit. Amazing guitarist who plays with a lot of heart, a great singer, and no ego just like the rest of the band. Steve Clark would be proud
This is one of the few bands that could get away with giving their lead singer a break because of a throat condition. And a free ticket to a show when Joe is well again. They respect their fan base. Incredibly.
I used to think the echos of vocals heard in concert were pre-recorded and played back, but here sure enough, we hear Vivian's and then Phil's voice on the echo! I should have believed Viv when he told us all years ago that Def Leppard does not use vocal tips!
This is SO unique and fun. It's one of the incredible things about Def Leppard is that all of them can sound like Joe Elliott. So that normally when Joe singing and everyone's doing the background vocals it sounds like there's four Joe Eliots singing at once and the choruses. It's why they are SO legit. Thanks for sharing this fun, unique amazing clip!!
I agree, but then we gotta find something for Joe to do. Don't want him standing around feeling stupid. He could play guitar though. Remember in the early days when he would play a third guitar during Hysteria? They should do that again, makes it closer to the studio version!
Same here I got to see Def Leppard in augest 26 2018 in Columbus Ohio where the football stadium 🏟 is at the Def Leppard concert was loud and it was awesome 😎 but it was very loud but I had fun at the Def Leppard concert rock on 🤘 Def Leppard
+IntervalePC Definitely. The good thing about Def Leppard is that they all sing. They're lucky to have two lead guitarists who are also competent singers. Phil has always had a solid voice and harmonized well. I thought he was a good frontman in Man Raze.
especially when there are over 5 different guitar riffs and track stacked into each song! Phil is combining 3 of them while viv does 2.... The intro to photograph.... on the album is is played against a open A string,along with like a sustained, fuzzy E note where Phil said he slides his hand across all different frets on the album version... look into guitar riffs for there songs sometime... riffs about the album version and you will see lol its not easy!
Definitely the most unique Def Leppard show I have ever been to. I know there was a lot bitching going around the ship after this short but interesting show. I know this could not have been easy for the band to do, and I for one am glad I got to see this piece of rock history. And to all the people who bitched about the band. FUCK YOU! You have a lot of balls to call yourself fans. I heard some rude shit all the rest of that night by some petty people. And here`s to all the people who made the best of a bad situation. And to the band thanks for all the years of music and memories SALUTE
Don Witt I was happy to see that show. It was unique. Only about 5 songs, so it was quick. However, to be fair, I paid $800 for my cabin. The ones "bitching" had a valid reason. They paid in excess of $4000, and rightly felt ripped off. The weather was bad, so we never made it to the port excursion, the bass player for Last in Line dropped dead, and Leppard never performed. What's worse, we were there to see Leppard and they never left their cabins.
I saw Leppard play twice on the cruise - yes it was the acoustic show and that one without Joe singing but shit happens - It was not Leppards fault - the cruise line had more shit fuck up than anything and at least Def Leppard lived up to the promise Joe said - My wife & I got to see them in Birmingham Al the following August for free
Evelin Baez me too! They nailed it! They have overcome so much stuff over the years so I’m not surprised they pulled this off well too, true champions.
As a singer I know this just happens. Unlike a guitar player we cannot just change a broken string, or drum head and go on. Many nights I went on knowing I wasn't 100%. I feel for Joe.. They did a great job handling that situation
I'm a massive fan, I know I will get grief, but......! I would love to see a professionally filmed concert of Leppard without Joe singing! This is just epic!
the lost boys 1984 HOLY SHIT, sounds fucking awesome!!!!!!!!!! Vivian and Phil doing vocals! my respect for this guys and the band too! love def LEPPARD music,
That wasnt Quiet Riot. That was the drummer plus others. Totally different scenario. We are talking about losing a singer for a few shows and not being forced to bring in others. I know some other singers jumped in and sang while Joe was recovering.
KG Meow They played a total of five songs. No one in the audience really cared, they could’ve stayed up there all night. It was something new, Which is what we all signed on for.
Mark, Phil is a complete Vegan, hence he never ages and he's fit as a fiddle. Lives a very healthy lifestyle and quit drinking a very long time ago after a bender with Steve in which Phil blacked out.
I literally teared up when Joe said he couldn't perform. then he said everyone gets a free ticket!! Cue the niagra falls!! I love this band so damn much for 35 years!!!!

Joe is one of the few great lead singers whose ego wouldn't get in the way of so graciously handing over the mic.
Vivian's voice, so beautiful!! 🍀
I agree ❤️
Vivian Campbell is a true class act, fantastic voice, great guitar player, and all around lovely bloke.
I have to admit, I had mixed feelings when Vivian joined Def Leppard. It just didnt seem right, but he has really been the perfect fit. Amazing guitarist who plays with a lot of heart, a great singer, and no ego just like the rest of the band. Steve Clark would be proud
Every body that thinks Def leppard use backing tapes needs to see this. Leppard are the real thing! 😎
That's right!
This is one of the few bands that could get away with giving their lead singer a break because of a throat condition. And a free ticket to a show when Joe is well again. They respect their fan base. Incredibly.
KISS does it easily too.
First time Phil Collen performed with his shirt on too
😂😂😂😂😂
hah!
Only time
Haha I was thinking the same thing lol
Four years later and still a fact
I used to think the echos of vocals heard in concert were pre-recorded and played back, but here sure enough, we hear Vivian's and then Phil's voice on the echo! I should have believed Viv when he told us all years ago that Def Leppard does not use vocal tips!
Its called reverb. A lot of bands use reverb on the vocals and the snare drum to help fill out the sound
What other band has two guitar players with such incredible chops that can sing as well as they do? Just incredible.
Both quite pitchy actually.
This is SO unique and fun. It's one of the incredible things about Def Leppard is that all of them can sound like Joe Elliott. So that normally when Joe singing and everyone's doing the background vocals it sounds like there's four Joe Eliots singing at once and the choruses. It's why they are SO legit. Thanks for sharing this fun, unique amazing clip!!
Phil really and truly has a very similar vocal sound. Super cool.
I love Phil and Vivian together ! Two completely different styles of playing that compliment each other so well ❤️
I agree with you.
Phil and Viv held that shit down.
MT Rich hell yeah they did, love that band
You ain't lying.
true fact
NO Freakin Doubt about it. 👍
Thats the SPIRIT. Never quit and the show must go on..
OOOH My God Vivian's Voice is so Great, I LOVE THIS BAND THEY ARE AMAZING
I think Phil and Vivian should sing lead vocals more often, it's definitely different and has more of an edge to it!
I agree, but then we gotta find something for Joe to do. Don't want him standing around feeling stupid. He could play guitar though. Remember in the early days when he would play a third guitar during Hysteria? They should do that again, makes it closer to the studio version!
Wow, amazing job guys filling in for Joe while he was sick. Good to hear the other band members sing. They are so talented as well. Thumbs up!
what!? go Viv!!!!!got chills listening to Phil!! love my boys!!
CinemaAny jiijii
I love Def Leppard!!! Such an awesome group of guys with a lot of heart and love for each other and their fans!!!
Vivian Campbell is a hell of a guitarist, his work with Dio is amazing.
BTW, I also love Def Lep
👍🏽Mario Gutierrez - amazing is right ! & Rip RJD 🤘🏽
I was fortunate enough to see him play with Dio Three times back in the day. He was amazing in that band
also Shadow King
Same here I got to see Def Leppard in augest 26 2018 in Columbus Ohio where the football stadium 🏟 is at the Def Leppard concert was loud and it was awesome 😎 but it was very loud but I had fun at the Def Leppard concert rock on 🤘 Def Leppard
Vivian is the best gamer in the lobby.
I give props to the guys. They performed very well without Joe on vocals. They have that "Never Quit Attitude" which I respect.
+IntervalePC Same here they are really a great bunch of guys who love their work.
+IntervalePC Definitely. The good thing about Def Leppard is that they all sing. They're lucky to have two lead guitarists who are also competent singers. Phil has always had a solid voice and harmonized well. I thought he was a good frontman in Man Raze.
Lita Zappa yeah
IntervalePC I agree ! Sometimes shit happens !
huge respect...not easy to sing and play def lepp songs....you guys are legends...
especially when there are over 5 different guitar riffs and track stacked into each song! Phil is combining 3 of them while viv does 2.... The intro to photograph.... on the album is is played against a open A string,along with like a sustained, fuzzy E note where Phil said he slides his hand across all different frets on the album version... look into guitar riffs for there songs sometime... riffs about the album version and you will see lol its not easy!
Wow, if you were on that cruise you saw something really fantastic!!!
No disrespect to Joe, but that was awesome.
Pray for him
Def Leppard is so cool, they take care of their fans,show did go on and everyone got a free ticket for a future show.Total Class!Love the Lepps!!❤💋
He may have been sick, couldn’t sing.. but at least he was upfront and he showed up. They are iconic. I loved them then and I love them now.
Wow... Can't think of many bands that could pull it off so well without their lead singer. And who knew Vivian could sing like that! Nice.
This one video encapsulates why I love this band so much. Touching words by Joe, and the rest of the guys stepping up. 🤙
And THE Band played on..awesome!!
Vivian Campbell is the best vocalist and guitar player in this band. Period.
He is but shrinks himself in this band so as not to take limelight off original players. Phil was Steve's buddy do it's awkward for Viv.
Definitely the most unique Def Leppard show I have ever been to. I know there was a lot bitching going around the ship after this short but interesting show. I know this could not have been easy for the band to do, and I for one am glad I got to see this piece of rock history. And to all the people who bitched about the band. FUCK YOU!

And to the band thanks for all the years of music and memories SALUTE
How many bands do u know that would have have out concert tickets because they couldn't do a proper concert? Very high class and I am a fan for life
Don Witt I was happy to see that show. It was unique. Only about 5 songs, so it was quick. However, to be fair, I paid $800 for my cabin. The ones "bitching" had a valid reason.

why couldn't joe sing?
Phil has some voice on him! Extremely pro band
Phil Collin does a great job on vocals love you Guys! Smart move Joe don't wanna damage your vocals. Luv ya guy's great video
If you wanna know how Def Leppard is still a working, successful band 40+ years into their career... here you go.
Just another reason why I Love the Leppard! 🐆🐾🔥
Vivian Campbell and Phil Collen you guys are talented
Leopard fan for 37 years they are still my fav thanks for doing what you do ,,,,,,,,,,,,,
this made me cry.. idk why ❤❤🎶
Evelin Baez me too! They nailed it! They have overcome so much stuff over the years so I’m not surprised they pulled this off well too, true champions.
Hysteria ..... greatest song of all time !
That was actually superb
Damn Awesome Job. Phil sounded awesome as lead vocal.
As a singer I know this just happens. Unlike a guitar player we cannot just change a broken string, or drum head and go on. Many nights I went on knowing I wasn't 100%. I feel for Joe.. They did a great job handling that situation
A singer can't plug his voice into an amp and go.
Good to see Viv is better and hope Joe gets his voice back. You guys rock!
That was amazing, always thought that the rest of the band could fill in for Joe if need be.
Their sound man is another unseen member of the band
God Damn, they are good!❤
Viv can Sing BEAUTIFULLY!!
Man, they sound great. I'm especially impressed with Campbell singing while playing those lead parts at the same time. That is not easy to do!!
It's not easy for the average Joe but it's second nature to these guys. They live and breathe music.
I have a ton of respect for these guys. I love them to bits.
I'm a massive fan, I know I will get grief, but......!
I would love to see a professionally filmed concert of Leppard without Joe singing!
This is just epic!
Phil and Sav are both pretty decent vocalists IMHO Viv sounds great here
when he packs it in the leppard will still rock
I prefer a professionally filmed concert of leppard with Joe, Viv and Phil singing lead. Taking turns.
I'm a huge Joe fan, but I love all their voices
I was there on this cruise. Thanks for sharing (I found it only now, 8 years later).
All of you guys are the best for stepping up and singing love it
Awesome job! It was a long while back, I never seen this. This is why they are who they are.
No other band could have pulled this off! Nuff said!
the lost boys 1984
HOLY SHIT, sounds fucking awesome!!!!!!!!!!
Vivian and Phil doing vocals!
my respect for this guys and the band too!
love def LEPPARD music,
Ernesto Hernandez Right
The only other band that could do that is Bon Jovi with Ritchie and David Bryan. This was amazing!
That wasnt Quiet Riot. That was the drummer plus others. Totally different scenario. We are talking about losing a singer for a few shows and not being forced to bring in others. I know some other singers jumped in and sang while Joe was recovering.
cheapseats12 I
They made good on their promise. I cashed in my free ticket at the Mohican Sun Arena.
I envy seeing this show
Did they perform other songs after this?
KG Meow They played a total of five songs. No one in the audience really cared, they could’ve stayed up there all night. It was something new, Which is what we all signed on for.
@@jasonq7504 what other songs did they play and are they on yt??
That's "fan"-tastic! I was wondering how that went down. Was it to those in the audience or the whole ship?
Wow, major kudos to Phil, Viv and the rest of the band as well. These guys are professionals in every sense of the word!
This what good friends does, back you up...Rick lost an armed, we LL wait, Joe lost his voice no problem... Respect the friendship...
Awesome job! These two are amazing vocalists!
My favorite band of all time ! Great job Vivian !👍
I think this was very unique! I would loved to have seen this live!
Damn Vivian and Phil can sing!
I'm so excited I'm holding my knees rocking in a corner right now crying. This is so freaking AWESOME!
Nice job, boys. Great job on vocals.
Vivian sings so amazing
Omg Vivian's verse was amazing!
they love their fans SO much- I love them just as much as a fan since the 80"s and always WILL be q fan!
Full Respect to the lads, now thats how a band looks after it's fans :) Rock On!!!!!
A Led Zeppelin shirt. A shirt, Phil. And Joe's sick? I can't believe it. I love them to pieces. But nice shirt Phil.
Phil must have eaten a cheeseburger that day. That's probably why he wore a shirt on stage.
Mark, Phil is a complete Vegan, hence he never ages and he's fit as a fiddle. Lives a very healthy lifestyle and quit drinking a very long time ago after a bender with Steve in which Phil blacked out.
If I was as ripped as Phil I don't think I'd ever wear a shirt either 😂
Might be the coolest leppard vid I’ve ever seen on the internet 🔥
I LOVE VIV'S VOICE!!!
I literally teared up when Joe said he couldn't perform. then he said everyone gets a free ticket!! Cue the niagra falls!! I love this band so damn much for 35 years!!!!
Holy crap!! DEF Leppard .. wow they are awesome dudes!! Friggin the show goes on!! Best ever dudes!!
That was great they should sing more often!! Loved it
Unlike so many just doing it for the moment, these guys do it because they love it AND they can still cut it.
Fantastic! Phil has a sexy singing voice 🤘🏻
Incredible!
Seeing Phil with a shirt on well that's special
Bless them!!!
They kick ass - even without Joe. Great singers all of them.
Phil collin has such a beautiful voice
You are Simply the Best❤
I don't think Vivian realizes how good of a voice he has.
I think he does, or else he wouldn't have a side band where he sings lead vocals
Wow Vivian is incredible!
Much Respect!!!
Much respect !!!
I have immense love and respect for this band. They have been through so much and always hold TOGETHER .
DAMN I LOVE THIS BAND SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
My god theese guys can sing!
I have loved them since they began and always will. There will never be anyone as good as them.
Unbelievable! And you gotta love Phils ZOSO shirt
Mad respect for DL giving folks tickets to a future show and playing this show. Not many artists would do that.
I love phil , he is the best guitarist all time
Woooooooooooooooooooooo... Nice surprise!!!!!!
Wow this sounds awesome!
I really enjoyed this.
Class act!
Never feel bored to listen this guys or any rock❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🇹🇩🇬🇧
