Got that right!!! I got to see this tour, and they both killed it! You'd never believe this was Tesla's first album the way they played...

Loved to have rest of this video ❤️❤️

When Leppard finally released Hysteria in summer ‘87, I’d been wearing out my Mechanical Resonance cassette for several months. I told my best friend at the time that it would be awesome if they’d tour together. I couldn’t believe it when the tour was announced and we caught them on their third U.S. date in Lake Placid, NY. It seemed like one third of the seats were empty, but it was a great show. Tesla kicked ass of course.

Tesla are great. And it's huge for a band like Def Leppard to boost a band like that. I bet it would make for a great discussion thread for established major artists who took other bands out and helped them break through. Ozzy took Motley and Metallica out and that was big. Personally for me, Rush took Primus out on the Roll the Bones tour. I just thought Primus were weird and nothing more until I saw their set at Reunion Arena. Been a fan ever since. Sometimes you've got to see an act live and I did with Primus.

They were just as good if not better in 86 opening for David Lee Roth.

Saw the concert in San Antonio! Both bands were good. Tesla got THREE encores as the opening act! They were on point!

I saw Tesla support Def Leppard when I visited the US for the summer in 87......Tesla blew the doors off them

With the exception of the album high and dry Def Leppard is way overrated Tesla's so much f****** better than there ever will be
