Leppard is releasing all these decent live concerts. Nobody cares about them playing LA in 82’ on the pyromania deluxe. True Lep fans want this concert available to purchase! This is by far their best overall live performance + set list . Sucks cos lep has so many good songs. They play mostly the same setlist though. Love the “Have you ever needed someone so bad” they play at this show. And you are right this version of Rocket Kicks ass!!! By far the best.
Will you let me know when you found a way and can give me a call. It would be a lot of fun. But in the meantime we can listen to the music and remember.
Hey 👋 there Dude I just subscribed to your RUclips channel ok 👌🏾 dude lol 😂 I love ❤️ all of the Def lepord songs dude rock on 🤘 Def lepord I’m am a number one fan of Def lepord dude Lol 😆
Any other fellow Metallica fans here🤔 as ive only after all these years realised recently after listening to sugar on me then found Rocket then animal iam like wtf these are ffing amazing awesome band and British 💯👏🎼🎵🎶🎙🎸🔊🔊🔊🔊
The tone of Vivian’s Anderson guitar in this is out of this world. The dueling solos is by far one of my favorite performances by my favorite guitarists, who just happen to be in my favorite band.
I love how even back then they were working hard and running computer sequencing for lights and sound effects but still performed their asses off. No autotune! No backing tracks! No shitty dancers and crappy outfits! Genuine talent and musicianship!
You’ve got that right! 100%. Def Leppard was my utmost fav hair band. I just wish I coulda seen them way back when. Joes voice could hit higher notes back then, but They’re still good now though. I saw them on 2017 or 2018 in Spokane WA for the 1st time. I hope to see them again. Def Leppard rules and always will
Backing tracks are not bad they uplift the vocals as long as there's no pitch correction and the singer is actually singing and then maybe backing tracks for the huge harmonies which I think a lil bit was added here too you just don't hear it there's just four singers it can't be that huge😅
this is the best live performance of a rock song, and awesomeness starts at 4.20... I agree it is completely impossible to not love Def Leppard, which for me is the greatest Rock band ever
Just found this Vid. I was at this Concert just out to the Right of the stage. Hot day! Nearly suffered from dehydration but it was worth it. Happy days.
Simply the quintessential version of Rocket that the whole world needs to hear. I wish they would bring this version with the open dueling guitars back. It's been a while guys....we need to hear is again.
This is a great live version of Rocket. But I saw Def Leppard live In the early 90's (91 or 92) and Rick did an awesome drum solo during Rocket as his podium rose in the air. Out of all the concerts I've seen (and there have been many) that one concert was THE best I have ever seen. Of course, that was back when you could AFFORD to see a concert.
The section beginning at 3:22 is a core memory for me. I was 10 years old, on top of my Dads shoulders just having my mind blown by the sound and the complete control of the crowd they had. Something about the groove and everyone clapping along has stayed with me all this time and I learned to play drums off the back of it. My Dad passed away a couple of years ago but I come here a lot to listen and be transported right back into this memory. Thanks for posting
For those poor souls who could not attend this gig you missed out on one hell of a day. Sun was shining support acts were amazing then Leppard came on showed them how to get a crowd going.
Joe was having some more trouble with his vocals from like 2012-2014 but by 2015 he had somehow like rebooted his voice. Every time he has some difficulty keeping his vocals consistent he changes them in some way and makes it work. It's amazing to be honest.
There are 5 members of Def Leppard, meaning that Rick Allen's missing arm would bring the total to 9 arms. Annnnnd, Def Leppard is one of the greatest bands of all time.
Chris Young yeah, I also saw them on this tour. September, 1993 in Pittsburgh. Then, 25 years later, I saw them again in pittsburgh, June of this year. They still ROCK. Journey sounded TERRIBLE but Lep was AMAZING!
I remember the 7 day weekend tour in 93. Saw them twice. Once at Reunion Arena in Dallas. During Rocket, Sav would get in the riser with Rick and it would go up and in past interviews Sav would always say he was scared of heights so he would back up against Rick. Epic fucking version of this song. I had this on VHS and wore it out. Its 2018 and i will see Leppard in Dallas, San Antonio and Hawaii this year. Show number #59, #60 & #61
As many others I LOVE this performance. Clear to see the Leps were inspired playing at home and it gave them a whole new edge. Sav's bass sound is to die for and Allen's drumming is spot on. Good that see that they got a bit more limelight than usual.
I have seen this band 16 times since 1983 when Uriah Heep opened for them to this last concert when Heart opened for them. They are just that damn good. This with out a doubt is the best live version of a song I have ever heard or seen in person.
Was class of 1980 me and friends. Go to 80s defleppard concerts was loud. Are ears rang for days. We keep are 80s defleppard things. After concerts go ladies house pool party. Keg of beer
Im jealous of every single person who attended this! Imagine being up front, hearing those lead parts just wailing in your ears omg goosebumps 🌪🪐🚀💚🐱💻 phil is my spirit animal x
Years ago I saw them in Nashville, then drove to Atlanta the next day to watch them again. Two shows in two days. Wouldn't have missed it for the world.
The BEST live version of Rocket.
Agree!

No arguments there. 👍😊
I Agree 100%
Absolutely...just wish I had gone to this!!!!

A rock band that rock bands listen too.
Me❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Me 😊❤❤❤❤Love DL !
Мне уже много лет ,но def leppard стала для меня открытием этого года лучшая группа однозначно!!!
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊
Someone show me the way back to the 80s please..
Will you let me know when you found a way and can give me a call. It would be a lot of fun. But in the meantime we can listen to the music and remember.
listening this kind of music!! for sure
Me too
Best decade of music ever.
I'm working on a time machine my friend.
Rick Allen is an absolute beast of a human being on a drum set
Exactly man he's the reason I started playing 🥁
A one-armed monster of rock.
@@g00gleminus96 I'm using the same china cymbal as him. He uses an fx oriental series on his kit
Imagine how great he would be on the guitar
Y con una sola mano , magistral
This band will always and forever, Rock our hearts!!!!!! Right people
The guitar solo in the middle of this song is sick! 😮 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
This is exactly why we love Def Leppard.
Well said my friend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey 👋 there Dude I just subscribed to your RUclips channel ok 👌🏾 dude lol 😂

My favorite version of my favorite Def Leppard song. I swear, these guys have *never* disappointed the world in a live performance.
their home town sheffield . i was there , awesme to say the least !
The tone of Vivian’s Anderson guitar in this is out of this world. The dueling solos is by far one of my favorite performances by my favorite guitarists, who just happen to be in my favorite band.
The best Def Leppard live rendition. Years later I still get goosebumps hearing this version of “Rocket”.
Me too!❤
Vivian and Phil's double lead in the middle is sick!!! Love this version!
I agree...my favorite version of this song 🐆 🚀 🛰
The drums so prominent in this track. Absolutely amazing sound. Well done Rick
Great hard rock tracks always have a huge snare drum at the forefront!
the BEST live Version I have heard of this song. It is actually amazing.
6:51 got chills i am obsessed with his voice
The Sound engeneer deservs a very special Grammy! Masterpiece!
I love how even back then they were working hard and running computer sequencing for lights and sound effects but still performed their asses off. No autotune! No backing tracks! No shitty dancers and crappy outfits! Genuine talent and musicianship!
Much appreciation for the "no crappy outfits" part!
You’ve got that right! 100%. Def Leppard was my utmost fav hair band. I just wish I coulda seen them way back when. Joes voice could hit higher notes back then, but They’re still good now though.

Truth
Backing tracks are not bad they uplift the vocals as long as there's no pitch correction and the singer is actually singing and then maybe backing tracks for the huge harmonies which I think a lil bit was added here too you just don't hear it there's just four singers it can't be that huge😅
This live version is pure magic. Incredible musicians at their best. Gives me the chills
The bass, damn
Def Leppard ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Joe inserts Led Zeppelin lyrics ❣️
#defleppard
A legend band of all time. Rick on drums with one arm is incredible to this day.
Absolutely unbelievable is Rick.
this live performance of rocket is pure perfection gives me chills everytime I see this
the songs starts at 0:00
no need to thank me
this is the best live performance of a rock song, and awesomeness starts at 4.20... I agree it is completely impossible to not love Def Leppard, which for me is the greatest Rock band ever
Yes, this is the best version, especially due to the Whole Lotta Love. Rocket Baby, YEAH!
Just found this Vid. I was at this Concert just out to the Right of the stage.
Hot day! Nearly suffered from dehydration but it was worth it. Happy days.
The duelling guitar solos was the highlight of this particular live performance of Rocket for me. Even in 2023!!!
Never understood why they didn't solo over the studio version's middle section... This kicks ass.
Tarot p play kitaro
On RUclips 0 play kitaro
Bon Jovi lyrics bon Jovi RUclips play kitaro
Simply the quintessential version of Rocket that the whole world needs to hear. I wish they would bring this version with the open dueling guitars back. It's been a while guys....we need to hear is again.
Damn!! I don't know what's best during the solos, the guitars, the drums, the bass, the WHOLE moment... \m/
+Jesus Rodriguez
The crowed, dude! The crowed!
🐆 🎸
Even the guys at the controls in the tower (10:06) knew how sick a performance this was!...doesn't get any better
This is a great live version of Rocket. But I saw Def Leppard live In the early 90's (91 or 92) and Rick did an awesome drum solo during Rocket as his podium rose in the air. Out of all the concerts I've seen (and there have been many) that one concert was THE best I have ever seen. Of course, that was back when you could AFFORD to see a concert.
I’d love a link to see this!
Saw it. In the round tour. 👍
I saw that exact thing in Toledo in 1992 the second night blew my mind.
wow the middle part is awesome! Led Zeppelin reference
def leppard IS legend 👌👌
OMG this band is like in another world . Im almost in tears.
The section beginning at 3:22 is a core memory for me. I was 10 years old, on top of my Dads shoulders just having my mind blown by the sound and the complete control of the crowd they had. Something about the groove and everyone clapping along has stayed with me all this time and I learned to play drums off the back of it. My Dad passed away a couple of years ago but I come here a lot to listen and be transported right back into this memory. Thanks for posting
The band no one can hate.
Raccoons hate it. I use this to keep them out of my watermelon patch.
Rick Allen is so awesome :)
I get Goosebumps every single time i listen to this
For those poor souls who could not attend this gig you missed out on one hell of a day. Sun was shining support acts were amazing then Leppard came on showed them how to get a crowd going.
They still play this well even in 2015! Saw them in Edmonton, Canada. Great show!
lol
+Justin Kovach i saw them in victoria this year, the tickets were my christmas presents, epic show, agreed!
+Justin Kovach saw them in Melbourne, Australia last week, they're still amazing!
Joe was having some more trouble with his vocals from like 2012-2014 but by 2015 he had somehow like rebooted his voice. Every time he has some difficulty keeping his vocals consistent he changes them in some way and makes it work. It's amazing to be honest.
This was during the Adrenalize tour. I saw three concerts out of that tour!!!
awesome!!
Rick savage is so cool
There are 5 members of Def Leppard, meaning that Rick Allen's missing arm would bring the total to 9 arms. Annnnnd, Def Leppard is one of the greatest bands of all time.
5:43 Viv displays his true skills!
When they played it 'In The Round' Ricks drums slowly rose up and slowly spun around with Sav. So epic.
that solo, damn still gets me
1989 was the first time I heard this song. Can not believe its 27 years ago! Wow
Saw them on this tour, they did Rocket this way . Awesome!
thats so kool chris you saw def lepppard wish i could i belong alll there fan clubs on face book
Chris Young yeah, I also saw them on this tour. September, 1993 in Pittsburgh. Then, 25 years later, I saw them again in pittsburgh, June of this year. They still ROCK. Journey sounded TERRIBLE but Lep was AMAZING!
Every inch of my love....that's a whole lotta love baby.
Holy shi**†* that Led Zep interlude nearly killed me!!!! This is flippin' amazing!!!! Oh, Joe!!!!!
4:20 is where the awesomeness begins
all awesomeness starts with 420... lol
+mayrowh vanilla imagine that haha
"0:00 is where the awesomeness begins"
Fixed.
Isn’t that where it always begins?
Amen brother😂
idk how many times ive watched this its the best
One of The Greatest Rock Songs Ever Recorded by Def Leppard
Let’s not overlook the badass bass in this song
I remember the 7 day weekend tour in 93. Saw them twice. Once at Reunion Arena in Dallas. During Rocket, Sav would get in the riser with Rick and it would go up and in past interviews Sav would always say he was scared of heights so he would back up against Rick.

1,000 % the best video of ROCKET
As many others I LOVE this performance. Clear to see the Leps were inspired playing at home and it gave them a whole new edge.
Sav's bass sound is to die for and Allen's drumming is spot on. Good that see that they got a bit more limelight than usual.
3:19 awesome bass love that! :3
I love this live version of Rocket!
Me parece que pocas bandas pueden tocar así en vivo de esta forma. Con tal calidad. Def foreverrrr 🤘😏🤘
I have seen this band 16 times since 1983 when Uriah Heep opened for them to this last concert when Heart opened for them. They are just that damn good. This with out a doubt is the best live version of a song I have ever heard or seen in person.
I watch this every day
And Phil Collen at his solo antics best! Pick Slides and windmilling. THIS is Def Leppard at the best! Sadly I don't think you ever see this any more.
Joe Elliot en su mejor momento!!
Y la banda a un nivel espectacular!
Enorme temazo en directo!
Encima un bombón😂
Ni cómo decirlo mejor👍
Was class of 1980 me and friends. Go to 80s defleppard concerts was loud. Are ears rang for days. We keep are 80s defleppard things. After concerts go ladies house pool party. Keg of beer
Im jealous of every single person who attended this! Imagine being up front, hearing those lead parts just wailing in your ears omg goosebumps 🌪🪐🚀💚🐱💻 phil is my spirit animal x
Not only the best version of Rocket, but the song why i love Def Leppard
I love the way Phill sets up the windmill at 1.32
Hysteria was the first album i ever bought. Id forgotten just how damn good these tracks were.
The drummer has one arm!!!, he’s inspirational, and the music, fucking top!!
There was a time when he had two, then one, then two again, then one again...Seriously en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Allen_(drummer)
I was really amazed how rick allen can be still a very good drummer without 1 arm. :)
That just absolutely made my morning...Def Leppard live is nothing short of incredible!
This was at the Don Valley stadium in my home town of Sheffield which sadly isn't there any more - the stadium I mean, Sheffield is still there.
Already HALL OF FAME BAND....FOR EVER DEF LEPPARD. 🎸🎶👍😎🤘
Years ago I saw them in Nashville, then drove to Atlanta the next day to watch them again. Two shows in two days. Wouldn't have missed it for the world.
this live version is awesome especially when it sound like the album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Live and counting the countdown has begun back to the 80 and Def Leppard her I come.
Agreed-and I've heard them live numerous times.
Wish I was there.. what an amazing live performance
lo mejor de lo mejor Def Leppard es una Alusinación una de las mejores bandas en el 2019 y se sigue escuchando Muy Chingon.
Phil's Little dance groove at 04:31 was just awesome!
Best Version of This Song ever❤
So many wows! Magic sound at this show. These guys are amazing. Right up there on first page of rock legends
Viv almost hit in the head with Phil's guitar headstock at 5:18! Love this version!
yes this is the best beyond awesome
I'll agree with the notion that this is the best live version of the song. I saw an extended version in the Round on the adrenalize tour - awesome!!
Este para mi, es el mejor recital en la historia de Def Leppard!!!!! Algún día vengan a tocar a la Argentina :)
No one makes music like this anymore 😮
This is just too freakin' good. The Leps at their very best.
AWESOME GUITARS
This quote’ whose listening to this in 2019’
toby davis 2020 😊
THIS ABSOLUTELY BRINGS ME CHILLS. BEST LIVE EVER!!!!!! ❤
This guitar solo is one of a kind def lep hands down. Especially Phil!
ROCKET YEAH 2024 🎉❤
I have heard many replicas but agree this is the best! The guitar work was incredible!
Just saw them live. Rocket was amazing!
What was their setlist? Im seeing them in Indianapolis in at the end of August? Do they play Promises?
Cody Riggs The didn't. They sounded great tho. Rocket was amazing to be honest. Not my favorite DL song but the best one in the concert.
My ears just came
this era of Def Leppard is my favourite 😻😎🎶🎸🎤
BEST VERSION OF ROCKET THAT I'VE EVER HEARD!!!!!!!!!
