[@one-eye1721]

It's so great to see a huge band that still loves and respects each other. It's not just a paycheck gig for them.

[@planetmartay]

"There's a distinct lack of cone." Amen, brother. If anyone deserves a cone... 😍🤩

[@samanthasays3603]

I saw them when I was in college....it was their first tour after Steve died. Amazing concert, Joe made it fun. I hope to see them again soon!

[@chandlercostanza7307]

I know it is ridiculously hard work to set up stage, lighting, electronics etc....but I would give my left nut to do this one time just to say I helped with the show, and obviously to meet my favorite band of all time. I'm an 80's guy and this band was with me, through their music, for most of my triumphs and failures. When you hear a song of theirs come on the radio and it makes you smile you know it means something. Thank you to Def Leppard for making life just that much better!

[@stargroves14]

I did this for years..exciting..but after awhile not knowing what city your in or what day of the week..it gets old..but still fun

[@scottburden9798]

@@stargroves14 I traveled for almost two years. Cool knowing the talent, but as you said, what city and time zone. Can I see anything before I have to work? When you get to Austin and can't see the Alamo or River Walk, NYC and don't have time for the Statue or Times Square, Get to Boston and can't see the aquarium. Got old getting to Sarasota, or Venice or Tampa Bay and not seeing the beaches. You work all day long. Behind the scenes, shit sucked, well paid, but sucked.

[@jloutz]

@@scottburden9798 The Alamo and River Walk are in San Antonio, not Austin. You really didn't know what cities you were in.

Joe should have a reality show, just cameras following him around everywhere,I'd watch it for sure.Love you Joe! 😘💋

[@andreapeterson3907]

I agree! But I don't think he would do it.

[@joys106]

Yes.... Would love to watch him do all his mischievous acts...

[@glennkoehler5455]

WHy is it only Now that I see this . Some 2 Fecking years after the fact. Always wanted to be a stage hand growing up, never got the chance; so i went to Trucking , some 30 Fecking years later and i still can’t get in the Industry- even as a driver. What gives! Oh well, love watching these. Thank You for the behind the scenes.

[@julierayner4672]

I like watching these behind the scenes videos because no one actually knows what it takes to put on a fabulous DEF LEPPARD show.credit to the stage crew for everything they do.

[@jamesmandas639]

Just awesome. Seen them 10 times. When they come on stage, you're in the company of fricken ROCK STARS!!! And they never disappoint!!.

[@nancyalbino6716]

I love the backstage videos and how you work out the staging. I work crew at my local theater and tv station, and worked at See Factor in my younger days. I'd have given ANYTHING to be on this crew! All of you look like you get along so well! You guys are ALWAYS so professional and make it look so easy! I'm so glad you're current tour is such a giant success! Rock on, guys! Love ya, Joe 💗 🎶🎸🎙

[@elaineambrose7413]

Blimey ! So much prep ! Wow I bet you guys had the time of your lives and Savage worries about his hair looking crazy 🤣 Love you all 😘🇬🇧🎉xx

[@rsundhar]

Got to see them opening night, front row! Awesome show! Die hard epic as an opener. Thankfully, my enthusiasm for this band has rubbed off on the family. This is a great example of an enduring band. “Long live rock ‘n roll!”

[@lh1678]

thanks for sharing this..My brother created a phenomenal banner for them and I gave it to Phil a show I went to back in the 90's , he handed me a stainless steel pick with def leppard engraved on it..still have it.

[@tinasmiti1779]

Thank you for posting this!! I really love the behind the scenes antics, humor, and insight! What a totally cool bunch of dudes!! 💕💕💕😆😆

This is from London to Vegas DVD box set 2020!! I have this at home. I enjoy watching it very much! Thank you Def Leppard! 😘😘😘😘😘😘

[@copp214]

Phil's voice reminds me of Ringo Starr. Joe Elliot sounds like someone I would not want to anger. Rick Allen is the friendly sounding voice. Rick Savage melts 🧈 The set up is beautiful. Fantastic video.

[@henrycole8705]

Surprised to see the logo on the bus... So many fans would get in the way seeing that

[@brandiecaldwell4089]

Saw you guys in Nashville, Tennessee. Only 11/2 years after I bought my tickets but it was so great to finally get to see yall!! Love that yall recorded all of this behind the scenes. So much work and dedication to perfection is not lost on me. This was my 18 year old sons first concert. How lucky is he?? You have Always been one of my very favorite bands of all time!

[@MOLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE]

Man I remember rocking the shit out of them in the early 1980s

[@brianwinston8627]

Let's see. Take a great drummer of a great band, take his left arm, and see what he is made of. He has IRON balls and a desire to overcome whatever the hell gets in his way. The whole band is awesome for believing in him, and Rick Allen is one tough man.

[@mickquinlan3400]

Couldn't agree more let the thunder god rock on

[@bellroad100]

Bravo! And if anyone in this WORLD deserves a cone, it's Rick Allen!!!

[@gapjunction11]

Never been a big fan, but mad respect for keeping Rick Allen in the band after his accident.

[@copp214]

I am a huge fan. Not ragging on you. I feel the same way about them keeping Rick in the band. They have integrity. Much 💘 for Def Leppard.

[@rubberduck7425]

They all get along. It shows in their performance...

[@pauldunne2290]

Great content and look at how u manage on tour. My son got tickets for Marlay Park on July 4th. Give him a shout out. His name is Alex and 17 years, plays amazing guitar... Mind ur body and soul. Cheers from Dublin

[@massapower]

The Production money is INCREDIBLE!!😎🤟

[@ChickasawScot]

Was able to see the Vegas show twice, once from the pit on Viv’s side and the second from the front row on Phil’s. It was incredible!! I only wish I had gone to more shows. Especially now that the Stadium Tour has been postponed. I’m going through DL withdrawal!!😩😩

[@georgediavolitsis4735]

5:43 Jimmy should've put some of those shirts for sale, I'd definitely buy one!! All honesty though, what a super cool gesture. This man has tour managed for many many years for many notable acts and this being his last tour before retirement, cool to give away those shirts. I had the privilege of meeting him after a Def Lep show in July 2019 on their Canadian Tour and Jimmy was a super super nice guy and gave me many tips as I am interested in getting into this business.

[@DC-ih8bv]

Seems like such a nice band. No egos

[@argeev2013]

Another great behind the scenes to check out is Def Leppard's 1988 In the Round Tour, I believe it was the Denver show. Great stuff to the open, where they played Stagefright.

[@daddyrabbit835]

I've been listening to Def Leppard since the 80s and I don't think I've ever heard Joe Elliot speak.

[@charleneabbott1717]

Joe thank you for showing me a behind the scenes look at what goes on back stage right here before the show goes on before the concert starts.It's very interesting to see how a team of people can all come together to put a concert show together.I very much so would like to get back stage one day to meet you guys,l think you guys are a very cool band to wonna hang out with back stage right after the show.P.S.Please do edited this column here for me.Thanks!

[@joleneandrews493]

And THAT’s how real rock stars do it, kids! Don’t try this at home! 😉🎸🎤🥁

[@williambroadstreet3353]

'The Thunder God' gets no cone? WTF? Cool drum rig. These blokes are truly epic. Yes, facts are the ability to tour off the set lists they use is 90% from the greatest musical, lyrical and on stage rock star strapped low in Steven Maynard 'The Riffmaster' Clark's incalculable gift he gave this band, even if both Sav/Elliot have at times downplayed these facts. But the 'real' Leppard fans know just what Steve gave this band. That they refuse to use recorded backing vocals, and they just do their own is evidence enough this band is pure rock n roll. Early OTTN, HnD and then into Pyro/Hysteria onwards Leppard are like Van Halen, the ONLY 2 bands to have x2 records certified in the US RIAC Diamond for 20 million plus units sold. Pyro's now over 25 million as is Hysteria. Never saw "Steamin". Will regret this until I die, but when the band puts up the montage to Steve, from the 'In The Round In Your Face Denver Colorado' 88 gig, sitting with his red 18 string Razor [his white one had a Kahler] his smile beaming as it is hid so much pain, but it is the ultimate tribute, and it is right to do. it's like when Vivian, a guitarist SO under rated by critics, and SO under used, and Collen do 'Switch'. That Leppard can still fill a joint like this, and still fill an arena decades on is testament to their enormous drive and talent. No Paul egomaniac Stanley lip syncing, just straight up rock.

[@Halograph71]

I got to see Steve in 87. My first concert and it was so AMAZING!

[@bellroad100]

Amen, brother~

[@ZippyThePinhead]

Honestly wish I had made the trip to see this/these shows. Never have see DL live, wish I had in my younger days, but never had the $$$, or couldn't get a good seat by the time I found out about the show. I've been a fan since "On ThroughThe Night", so maybe my time its coming.

[@joeporsche09]

So cool.💙💪🙃

[@Happy_HIbiscus]

these dudes are cool ! 😊😊😊😊

[@jpaldesignsrock]

I love concerts since i saw my first in 1979 in Seattle, but this is what I am most interested in is the backstage antics. I went backstage at Iron maiden in Seattle in 1981 but not to meet the band, my friend I was with had a joint sticking out of his pocket and security saw him and since he didn't have ID they booted him too. Anyways, i was backstage with Henry J a guy who did MTV videos and I knew him and he vouched for me so i got to stay in concert. I really was wanting to just stay backstage to watch what's going on and still to this day I'd love to go backstage preferably at a concert of a band i loved like Maiden or Def Leppard. But for now as I sit here designing video promos I am watching what happens in Vegas (where I lived for 5 years) backstage until that fateful day comes.

They, are indeed, good friends and a family! DL has pure class! Period! BTW- Why did, whoever filmed this, blur out what Sav had on his shirt? Does anyone know what that said? Just curious! Still, an awesome band! I love them ALL! Peace.

At 5:10 Joe mentions the "and I'm alone" vocal line. He's talking about a song from the Adrenalize record "Have you ever needed someone so bad". You can hear the line at the 2 minute mark on the song. It is on the record =P
