We Got The Whole Damn Night To Go...


NEW LINK

 Just to get it out of the way,I'm a big fan of Hysteria.
I know it's not the heaviest of albums.
But it does show what can be achieved when
all that time can be spent on an album.
Here's Leppard playing a home town show at the 
beginning of the Hysteria Tour.
Great stuff it is too.
With a mighty fine setlist.
Def Leppard the most successful band of the 80's.
(sales wise?)
They've just released a new album to positive reviews.

What Do Ya Want? I Want Rock 'n' Roll...


NEW LINKS

 Very nice audience recording.
Def Leppard back in '88 on the massively  
successful Hysteria Tour.
Of course it also turned into one of biggest 
selling albums of all time.
And to this day it still sounds great.
Cracking setlist as well,only one song
that isn't from Pyromania or Hysteria.
So you debut album lovers are out of luck.

Rock On (Rock On) ...



Here's an excellent sounding semi-acoustic and chat set from the 
VH1 TV show in New York 1999.
Oh how times have changed for the Sheffield 
Rockers since the original Wasted single in 1979.

Gonna Start A Fire...


 OK had a little dig in the box of tapes and pulled
this one out.Def Leppard,London 1983.
Not telling me much but after a listen it's from
the Marquee and the live debut of Phil Collen.
Sounds like it was recorded from a vinyl record,
gaps between the songs and Travelin' Band was tune
number six.
Anyway it's all been edited together and it's a decent
audience recording,incomplete of course.
The legend Brian Robertson turns in an appearance as well.

This Time The Lights Are Going Out...


 It's Def Leppard on the way up touring
their excellent Pyromania album.
Here's audio from a French TV Broadcast.
Overall very good but some of the edits
between songs leaves a lot to be desired.
Only six tunes,is there more?
But! it's classic era Leppard.
Can't get enough of that.

So Wild And Free,So Far From Me...


 
Very good audience recording of Def Leppard live on the 
Pyromania tour of the UK,1983.
With an excellent Rocking setlist with  
the band still young and hungry and 
Hard Rocking.For many people at the peak 
of their powers before the massive selling next album.

It's Good To See You Again...


 Two eras from one of the most 
successful of Rock bands. 
A couple of Radio Broadcasts.
One capturing an early Leppard from 1979.
The other from their home 
town of Sheffield in 1996.
Both very different,both excellent.

Rock Of Ages...


 Alright I know things are a bit crazy at the moment.
What with world events,Rocket's links disappearing.
We'll just do what we do at HRC...ROCK! 
Here's a young band playing at the 
Reading Festival back in '80.
They sound great and very promising.
I wonder if anything became of them?
Tape Rip.
