I've lived in Denver since 1977 and I attended the "In The Round In Your Face" filming at McNichols Arena 25 years ago tonight! Holy crap, I'm getting old... I was a HUGE Def Leppard fan going back to High N' Dry, but my parents thought I was too young to go to rock shows - I even missed the Pyromania tour. It would be FOUR LONG YEARS before I would see my Def Leppard show on February 12, 1988 and they didn't disappoint. We had third row tickets - my friends and I ended up in the "Pour Some Sugar On Me" music video as well as the long form VHS while Joe Elliott introduced "Photograph." The camera pans across and we're all right there... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yonijurHnjs The show was unbelievable. Tesla ripped through their opening set with class, but Leppard took it to a new level. Opening with Stagefright, Rock! Rock!

They played "Sugar" twice that night, Joe explaining that they needed to get as much footage as possible for the music video.

Wow, not seen anyone worry about that in many a year !

Hack your DVD player or rip the DVD with ImgBurn and then use DVDShrink to create a region free version.]]> gary191265 NoticeboardFri, 15 Feb 2013 01:56:50 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,930327,930397#msg-930397 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,930327,930397#msg-930397 timstar NoticeboardThu, 14 Feb 2013 21:40:45 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,930327,930391#msg-930391 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,930327,930391#msg-930391

I was lucky to see the break from the studio "Rehearsal 86" show, pre HYSTERIA release, and the first UK leg on the 87 HYSTERIA tour, where the band played modest sized venues (they were still being ignored by silly rock snobs at the time, for being successful in the US..pathetic). Both TESLA and DEF LEP were awesome.]]> Scott NoticeboardThu, 14 Feb 2013 09:49:03 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,930327,930327#msg-930327 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,930327,930327#msg-930327
I was a HUGE Def Leppard fan going back to High N' Dry, but my parents thought I was too young to go to rock shows - I even missed the Pyromania tour. It would be FOUR LONG YEARS before I would see my Def Leppard show on February 12, 1988 and they didn't disappoint. We had third row tickets - my friends and I ended up in the "Pour Some Sugar On Me" music video as well as the long form VHS while Joe Elliott introduced "Photograph." The camera pans across and we're all right there...

The show was unbelievable. Tesla ripped through their opening set with class, but Leppard took it to a new level. Opening with Stagefright, Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop), Women and Too Late For Love - I pretty much lost my mind in the first 20 minutes.

They played "Sugar" twice that night, Joe explaining that they needed to get as much footage as possible for the music video. "So pretend that you're hearing it for the first time," I remember him saying.

Not included in the final video were Travelin' Band, Let It Go and maybe another Don't Shoot Shotgun. Can't wait to see Viva! Hysteria next month in Las Vegas...]]> Ken NoticeboardThu, 14 Feb 2013 08:53:52 +1100
