Not only does the drummer have one arm, but he had two when the band started. And when he lost his arm in a car accident, and the band was getting successful, the band just stopped. They stopped. They stopped and didn't even try to replace him. They restarted again when the former relearned the drums with one arm. And put out Hysteria, arguably a GOAT rock album

"Def Leppard" is just off the chain in concert. I've seen them.4 times throughout my 49yrs. And even as an older band now , their still amazingly powerful and packed full.of talent.

Yep, best one armed drummer ever! Lol. Seriously, he made a comeback that everyone thought was impossible...But he came back, & blew everyone away. He has a very special drum set, & he plays it well. 🤘😁

I've seen Def Leppard in the at least 10 times beginning in the 80's and most recently this past June. They never disappoint!

It always puts a smile on my face seeing younger people enjoying the music I SO loved as a teen! Def Leppard will always be my #1!

This was my first live rock show in 1988. And yes, I did blow my vocal cords out when they did this! Keep Rock Alive!! 🤘🏽🖤🔥🙌🏼 ℁

I saw the Pyromania tour in Oakland Collisiam in 1984. Def Leppard was sold out three days in a row. I have never seen so many people in one place at one time enjoying the same thing. They sounded like the studio version except for a couple of solos and crowd participation 85,000 people, HUGE. Outside people were trying to break in. Mostly blonde headed rich girls. THE BEST F.... CONCERT I HAVE EVER SEEN. TOO BAD TIME PASSES!!!!!! GREAT, GREAT, GREAT CONCERT!!!!!!!!!!!! AND YOU HEARD THAT FROM ME SPIKE!!!!!!!

Awesome song! one of my fav DL songs!! "Is it spinning?" Yes the concert stage is "in the round" meaning it's in the center of the venue vs at one end, and allows fans on all sides surrounding the stage. they spun their stage to allow all fans equal attention. Its one of my biggest musical regrets that i didn't go see them on this tour. I was 15 and considered "too young" by my mom to go. I have seen them since - but it was after Steve died, and as we all do - they've aged, and they're not the same as they were. But they're still a bad ass tight band with a lot of great music.

My absolute FAVORITE song from my absolute FAVORITE band of the 80's (and I love A LOT of bands from my era)‼️❤️

I have seen them several times live, and they were so incredible every time just as this live video that you have here! They are always a Blast! ✌

My favorite Def Leppard song. I've only heard it live when I actually saw them in concert, and I honestly wasn't exactly in great shape to remember it. 😉They're really good.

Def Lepperd is AAAMMMAAAZZZIINNNGG in concert! Must see live!!! ALWAYS a great show! One of my all-time fave bands! I have seen them 3 times!

I first saw them in concert in San Antonio, TX in May of 1983, just a few days after my birthday. What an amazing show it was, I'll never forget it! I love you guys and watching your reactive discovery of music from my era! Rock On!!!

Fun fact Def Leppards Hysteria album didn't sell what they needed it to to break even. Until strippers started playing Pour some sugar on me 😁. Then Hysteria surpassed what they needed. Rick Allen is not only the GOAT of drummers. He's also an inspiration to never give up on your dreams.

This was was the biggest hit on the radio when I was in 9th grade. The drummer still had both arms when this was recorded on their Pyromania album! Check out Rock, rock till you drop, for another real rocker!! 🙂

Wow! They sound great live! Would still pay to see them! The whole Pyromania album kicks it! You two are great. Makes me smile.

Major respect for these guys to put a hold on their career until the drummer was able to return and was not replaced.

It's better to burn out, than fade away....Long Live Def Leppard

I just saw Def Leppard along with Joan Jett, Poison and Motley Crue. My favorite was Def Leppard. They were so awesome! If they were to tour again, I’d definitely go see them. #LongLiveRockAndRoll 🤘🏽

Happens to be my favourite band for last 35 years

one of the best tours that i missed , wish i could go back in time and see it live ..... actually if i could go back in time to the 80s , id STAY there ;)

CANT GO WRONG WITH DEF LEPPARD

I was there live. McNichols Arena Denver Colorado. Two nights in the round. Went to both shows. Good times!

My favorite 80's rock band.

Thanks Tasha! Love their pre-91 catalog...and my 3 favorite tracks from the band are actually off their 2nd album HIGH AND DRY. When you get a chance (I think "T" has already reacted to) MIRROR MIRROR , BRINGING ON THE HEARTBREAK that runs in to SWITCH 625. They are soaring rock ballads and a heart pumping instrumental. I was across the pond in Germany when Def Leppard broke onto the radar. The main attraction for me about this timeframe are the contributions of Stephen Clark with the guitar (the wavy-haired blond). While a member of Def Leppard, Clark wrote or co-wrote over 90% of the band's songs and had earned the nickname of "Riffmaster". My appreciation and love of his sound and style is probably unfair to the rest of the DL catalog, but when he left the band, so did the magic he held. He died Jan 8, 91 and the band TESLA wrote SONG AND EMOTION in tribute. (Another great track you might enjoy reacting to) Tesla opened for DL during the "Hysteria" tour and Frank Hannon and Clark had become friends through those shows.

Love this song so much!!. My favorite Def Leppard track. Thank you.

Love this song, I went to so many Def Leppard concerts and they never disappoint

I was in college when they went through on this tour, saw them in MN Joe Elliot is a freakin god on that stage in-the-round, and Rick Allen is my favorite drummer of all time!

This tour was so frikkin Awesome! Drummer still had two arms at this time. It was after this tour he lost his arm. Hysteria was the first album he played with one arm.

I just love this band!!!

They were fire!! Look at that crowd, it's full of women. That was an achievement of all hard rock bands, they had great singers, amazing guitar shredders, they sounded heavy, but still had a fun element to them that appealed not only to the guys, but also to the girls. I would have loved to live that time

I went to this concert Hysteria tour in Milwaukee. The stage was round and the drummer would spin. Your right we all lost our voices that night and for a few days later. Rick Allen the drummer is using electric drums and kicking it hard with his feet. This was the first tour after Ricks car accident in 1984. The group waited for him to get his groove back and this album had a lot of issues with producers and just crap. Mutt Lang came back and produced another masterpiece!!! Hand down is their best concert, I’ve seen them 4 times on tours and they had a residency in Vegas. Just seen them this past July, they can still rock and put on a good show.

Guys, I was almost fifteen when this came out, and I can tell you that this concert was filmed in February 1988, and it was produced for home video release. It was called "In the Round". This tour was in support of their 1987 album "Hysteria". I'm a lifelong Def Leppard fan. Hello from northeast Ohio. .... P.S., many of the previous comments are full of misinformation.

Great Reaction you guys!! I've seen them twice and I think they Rock!! They Absolutely Always keep their audience involved and engaged!!! Keep on Rocking TNT...🤘😎

Joe Elliott had a history of losing his voice from a vocal cord injury. But he still keeps going, and if you notice, Steve, Clark and Phil Collen who were know as The Terror Twins, co-lead guitarists everything Phil was doing Steve was doing at the exact same time. They were awesome. One of the few lasting bands till this day, despite what they’ve gone through. They only had 2 different members since the 70s, original Pete 1st 2 albums, and then Vivian Campbell who replaced the late Steve Clark. That’s it . This lineup is still going

Guys, I hope you read my comment. First time viewer, btw. Anyways...I was literally raised on this band's music. My mom and dad were OBSESSED. I remember many many long car rides out to their friends houses in the country in a neighboring town (to get weed. It was the early 90's), they played the ENTIRE pyromania album on many of these trips. I also frequently woken up to the entire house filled with hair metal while they were cleaning on the weekends. (They were also big into Poison, and I just rediscovered Unskinny Bop for the first time in years) I'm a gay guy, my husband is 7 years younger than me, but he's always been big into 80's fashion and music, and he's become a big fan FAST...and some of Def's love songs have become our favorite for romance. Speaks volumes about their music because he used to be mostly into girly pop lol. Also note: Mutt Lange was the producer for this album. He also produced AC/DC and his ex-wife Shania Twain. He has a sort of rawness and punchiness to his productions that make him the best in the business. The guy new how to produce good stuff. I'm 34 and will probably never see them in concert, but I was introduced to them from cradle and will go singing to the grave

I was in H.S when all these amazing bands were kicking ass and taken names > it was a great day to be alive.

Best version. This video was from "Tour around your face." Must watch

Love this song by Def Leppard.

This was a fun concert and tour. Just to show my age, I saw this show live when they came to Detroit (Palace of Auburn Hills) on September 17, 1988, and it was amazing.

Saw them this past summer...still sound great 👍

During these solos the other guys were under this stage gettin on with all women under there!😂

This was my first favorite song! You miss the Vincent Price ending in the live performance compared to the recorded version. 🤘DEF LEPPARD 🔥 And they just recently put out a new album.

I was at this concert it was a awesome concert. Def Leopard always put on a great show.

This concert was recorded in Denver Colorado in 1988. I don’t think anybody saw this in 1985.

Hey guys, another song from this same show that is really good is "To Late" they play it a little slower than the studio version and it is awesome!

When Def Leppard started in the late 70's/ early 80's, they were a hard rock band w/ pop influences... they loved Judas Priest, Thin Lizzy and Led Zeppelin, but they were also fans of Mott the Hoople, Blondie, David Bowie, T-Rex and Roxy Music. Queen was huge influence, especially the vocal harmonies which Def Leppard adopted (Queen went pop in 1980 for a while). Their 1st two albums 'On through the night' and "High n' dry" were heavily guitar-driven rock, but 3rd album 'Pyromania' had more pop influences, and became a huge record in the US in 1983. Guitarist Phil Collen recalled that they felt that Def Leppard had more in common w/ Duran Duran than Iron Maiden... and that was evident when 'Hysteria' was released in 1987, and it had more synths and pop melodies. It took a few months to catch on, but 'Pour some sugar on me' became a huge single in 1988 and 'Hysteria' even outsold Michael Jackson's 'Bad' album by 1989. Def Leppard made quite a few pop rock records after - 'Adrenalize' (1992)... 'Slang' (1996)... 'Euphoria' (1999) and 'X' (2002). Europe was another band that started as a hard rock act, releasing 2 guitar-heavy albums - 'Europe' (1983) and 'Wings of tomorrow' (1984)... then, they were signed internationally and released the rather synth heavy 'The Final Countdown' in 1986 and became global megastars for a while... But guitarist John Norum did not like the new musical direction and quit. Unlike Def Leppard, Europe could not repeat that success w/ successive albums 'Out of this world' (1988) and 'Prisoners in paradise' (1991)... and split up in 1992. They reformed in 2004, but in a different direction musically. They later grumbled that the 80's were "terrible" and they were glad it was over, because the music business was pushing them in directions they were not happy with. A lot of bands gave in to label pressure and released more pop-oriented albums away from guitar-heavy early records - White Lion, Kix, Ratt, etc. Even Dio put a keyboard-heavy album 'Sacred Heart' in 1985... Judas Priest recorded the 'Turbo' album in 1986 w/ synths... Saxon went commercial w/ 'Innocence is no excuse' (1985) and 'Destiny' (1988) ... which was an epic mistake... Queensryche went grunge rock in 1997 w/ 'Hear in the now frontier'... Kiss went down that route too many times - going disco w/ the 'Dynasty' (1979) and 'Unmasked' (1980) albums... going for a concept record w/ 'Music from the Elder' (1981)... attempting a synth-heavy album 'Crazy Nights' (1987)... and a grunge rock album 'Carnival of souls' (1997).

Saw this band at a 'home' gig for them in Sheffield, England, while I was at Uni' there. great venue called 'The Leadmill' which is pretty much where they started out. great fun.

I saw this live 1983 I'm old but so good

"The drummer for Def Leppards only got 1 arm " 🎶 🎵

My favorite Def Leppard song. I finally got to see them on the stadium tour and they were amazing. Rick was a beast on drums. Seeing him play a solo live was awesome. Been a fan since their first record. Check out Hello America from their first record. My only disappointment was not hearing that song at the show.

Ive seen them twice in concert. My city doesnt bring a very big crowd, but they rocked all the same

Yeah man! They always rocked me and still do.

'What do you want?! What do you want?1 I want rock n' roll!'

I saw this Def Leppard tour in 1988 in Cleveland (Blossom Music Center) and it was a must see!!!! It was packed!!! Loved it!!!!

Rick Allen re learned the drums with the help of technology. He has a number of pedals that add drum beats that his left arm would have played. Plus symbols . The drum kit is digital electric designed for him.

Def leopard , a epic rock band

the song was from 83 pyromania album, this concert def was not from 85 , this was more like 87 or 88 from there hyseria tour. to clarify . you guys keep rockin much love

Listen to ANY SONG on the album "HIGH & DRY". That's true "Def". The drummer used to have 2 arms.

They are so amazing live! What I wouldn’t give to have seen them with original lead guitarist Steve Clark play! Steve & Phil together are electric! I love Vivian Campbell, though. I mean, he did play for Dio!

Simpler times. Right in the nostalgia.

Def Leppard is my favorite band to this day, and in 2022 the went on a stadium tour with motley crue, who everyone agrees sucked unfortunately, in seattle Washington there were over 45,000 people there, lots of teenagers rocking def Leppard tshirts and hats. They sounded phenomenal, and joe Elliott, the singer is 64!

Awe how I miss being a teenager!Miss my 80's

That was such a fun few minutes that I had to subscribe. So genuine. I could tell you were really enjoying it I don't know this band well but it was good to hear them again. I think I'm going to have to get back into them.

Def Leppard -- the band with the world's hardest working drummer.

Any old footage of Steve Clark or Randy Rhoads makes me smile. RIP brothers

Did y'all ever notice their drummer only has one arm

First three albums is metal Leppard. 🤘

This was a concert in believe in 1988 .. the hysteria tour

God, I miss the 80's!

Great reaction guys! One of the best bands ever!

You know Phil, Steve, and Sav had to be under the stage cavorting with some enthusiastic young ladies while Rick just kept drumming and Joe worked the crowd.

For some old school Def Leppard, try "Me and My Wine." The video is hoot and they're all sooooo young! Great reaction. This tour was an awesome one - saw 'em in Tallahassee, FL, with Queensryche opening. Speaking of, maybe try "Empire" or "Jet City Woman." 🙂❤

I want rock n roll too...and Joe all alone for a few hours! 😈😜🤣

I saw this tour. They called it “in the round”. The band would be inside the actual tour boxes. And wheeled in under the stage. Sort of “hiding”. But. Lol. We all knew. Seeing them live. It felt like you were with friends. In an intimate show just for you. As crazy as that sounds considering the thousands of people around you. The sign of true talent to me is when a band sounds just as good if not better live. And they are that. But they truly love their fans too. Music has gotten so far away from that “intimacy”. Just dollar signs anymore. No more raw talent. It’s very sad. I’m grateful I was there in those days to experience it.

According to legend the guitar players went under the stage during the breakdown where they had a groupie cave and they would have some real fun. Ah, yes it was the 80's.

Badass song

This is their best

Great reaction guys!

By the way. They are still kicking ass today .. respects n love to you 2 .. channel is always a fun watch . Thank you .. 🤘🤘💯❤️

Awesome song

This was the first. Concert they did after riick allen lost. his srm in a car accident

I think you should start by listening to songs off of the 'High 'n' Dry' album, I suggest the songs, Let It Go, Lady Strange, and Mirror Mirror

I saw them and Tesla in the late 80s when I was stationed in San Diego.

Rumor has it when the guitarists left the stage at the 5:00 mark they were doing community relations with the female fans.

I went to that tour! 2nd row. In the round in Portland Oregon

Def Leppard is an amazing band. I’ve never seen them live, but always wanted to. I heard that back in the 80’s they would have a segment in the show where the music would play and they had their crew find the hottest girls and bring them to a special place. Then during one of the songs they would sneak down there and make out with all the ladies. 😅 must be nice right? Lol.

Put on an amazing concert

Could you check out the band "Poets of the Fall" and their music video "Requiem for My Harlequin" They are a really underappreciated rock band from Finland! The song is the lead single of their 9th studio album "Ghostlight" that was released earlier this year!

Tasha would fit in at rock concerts.🤟🤘🤙

Also it's great watch you guys rock out . Music has no racial boundaries. Music is a equalizer in society.

I was at that show but in Texas.

Diamond award record pyromania, this year celebrates 40 years

They are touring keep up with when they appear at Jones Beath.

R.I.P Steve Clark...

Another great song live is The Gods Of War !

i was watching a video from yall watching johnny cash sue and yall asked "do people paint stories like this anymore" yes alot of band do like turnpike troubadours zach bryan and tyler childers they are all great love the vids! Edit: listen to jerry jeff walker!

Lol Heck yeah 👍

Is there anyway that you guys could do a reaction video to Def Leppard die hard the Hunter live in Colorado 1988 in the round? without a doubt the most intense version of the song that I’ve ever heard and other Def Leppard fans agree with me. Keep up the great work you guys and this is an all-time Def Leppard on rock of ages!!!

Did you notice Rick Allen (drummer) was missing his left arm? Not just a hand.
