Def Leppard Gods of War Hamilton 1988 (Angle #1)

[@ilovesteveclark6084]

6:04 The outburst of cheering when Steve starts the solo gives me chills...makes me cry...the crowd loved him.

[@DoktorDamage]

I was there. 26 yrs old. It was an amazing show !!! Queensryche opened up the show and they were awesome too.

[@Hammerdrums]

Every one does

[@cindyleej2350]

He was too precious! I only wish I could have been there.. 😢 But I only got to see them in 1997.. (Saffie, 🇿🇦)😩

[@rtksurveyor]

I was there when this happened. Blows my mind that somone videotaped this. What a great show that was. Late, great Steve Clark.

[@DoktorDamage]

You from Hamilton? I was here too..I was 26 yrs old.

[@delanoseagraves7196]

He composed symphonies... Five minutes each. A brilliant artist. I wish we could have heard more.

[@BamaKattt]

Steve was a fucking genius, godamn I miss him.

[@eliasgarcia4251]

BamaKattt ..it sad that as great as he was he tried so hard to please his father who still always find al that was wrong instead of being happy for Steve

[@ericksuarezb.5994]

+Elias Garcia some parents are a**holes, really.....

[@megaBredman]

i miss him too,,,,Steamin my guitar player idol a legend

[@stevenzane]

Steven Clark, with his Gibson slung low was stage presence personified! How fortunate I feel to have seen him live many times. He is greatly missed, more than he will ever know.

[@seanmoloney7797]

Look, Viv Campbell is an outstanding guitarist, but Steve Clark was just brilliant. Listen to the 2013 rerecords of the Hysteria songs, and they're just missing something. Steve gave every song it's heart and soul. RIP Steve

[@lorigibbs2379]

Amen!

[@jamiereyes2601]

RIP Steve Clark

[@CarolMarineMom]

Absolutely! Viv had Some. Big shoes to fill, and Doing Great!! Saw them live may 25th & last August & Counting 💙🎵🎸

[@Metal4Life56]

Viv's playing is up to snuff with Steve's. It's just hard to replicate those classics, or any previously recorded classic and do it proper justice because people are so used to hearing them the way they originally were. I think even if Steve was still around and they reissued those tunes, they'd still catch some negative criticism simply because they aren't the original hysteria/pyromania recordings we all came to love and played the shit out of. They had been playing these tunes live for years when they redid them, giving them a little bit of a "phoned in" sound. NOW..that's not to say that Steve wasn't a brilliant riff-maestro, but don't blame the lack of soul in Steve's parts on Viv. Also keep in mind they were a much older, less 'hungry' band when they were rereleased. PLUS NO MUTT THE SECOND TIME AROUND! Mutt put tons and tons of tedious time and effort into those original recordings. Anyways, Viv is damn good, but I think he gets somewhat overruled by Phil in the studio guitar-wise (maybe I'm wrong). Although, he did contribute to a lot of writing to The Sparkle Lounge. I just think that Sav and Joe are way too concerned with sounding like a 70s glam band these days and THAT'S what's been killing most of the post Euphoria material (yeah, a lot of euphoria was kick-ass, and I don't care who disagrees..Paper Sun, Promises, Day After Day, Demolition Man). It's Elliot and Sav man...they've somewhat killed any chance of sounding relevant that they had left by adding waaay too much Queen/Mott the Hoople sounding influences to the mix instead of continuing the sound that they established for themselves. They've kinda settled into their grandpa shoes. Viv deserves better to be honest..just my opinion. I still respect Lep for their accomplishments, and I think it's horseshit that they haven't been inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame yet because they are a legendary band. Sorry for the long ass rant.

[@ilovesteveclark6084]

@@Metal4Life56 Mutt literally drove Steve down.

[@beri260499]

Oh my god... MISS YOU STEVE!!! No one like you.

[@lorigibbs2379]

God! the best yeah!

[@rooh5825]

It is unfortunate that creative genius and the brilliance that goes with it comes with such a high price tag for many of them, that being the depression and anxiety that rips their soul to pieces while alive. Certainly the onslaught of grunge after 1990 led to a reduction in demand for this type of music, but that isn't the only reason that Def Leppard's true last super album was Hysteria... Clark was a driving force behind the incredible production that was 80's Def Leppard. He's not the only one like this. Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue was/is the primary song writer for Motley Crue, but thankfully for Crue, he died and basically came back to life after a heroin overdose (true story). Some of the most incredible musical minds are so consumed by their demons, that they become a candle that burns at both ends. I miss Steve Clark, will never forget him playing Run Riot In The Round at Pershing years and years ago, when I was just a snot nosed teenager. They will forever be my favorite band.

[@davidvironet6344]

@wildcatter63 all i need to say is steve was called the riffmaster neither of the other two can say that.

[@Hammerdrums]

wildcatter63 Vivian is a footnote compared to the late great Steve Clark

[@karenglenn6707]

@wildcatter63 neither Phil nor Viv are better players. Steve had the magic and when he died the magic left. He played from his soul and his guitar was an extension of himself.

[@peytonbrezski]

wildcatter63 Steve has a different style than Phil and Viv. They were the typical 80’s rock and metal guitarists. Steve was like if jimmy page played in an 80’s hard rock band. In fact I’d say Steve was somewhat similar to slash. Your right Steve can’t shred as fast as Phil or Viv, but honestly I wouldn’t say Phil is much more technically skilled than Steve. Phil can play pretty fast but when he does that live, it’s usually pretty sloppy. I’d say Viv is probably the most technically skilled guitarist Leppard has ever had. But yea totally agree Steve has better feel and was the best writer. He’s in my top 5 favorite guitar players.

[@cindyleej2350]

You hit the nail right on the head man.. I know what's worse than depression.. Effing anxiety, Now I know why I have always felt this way about Steve, 😪😪

[@christopherstephens3270]

It’s hard to believe that this tour took place over 35 years ago. Back then I was 19 years old. I was blessed to attend this tour in Louisville, Ky. To this very day I still very clearly remember standing in the audience in complete amazement at the performance. The band was absolutely phenomenal and Joe’s voice was unlike anything I have ever heard. All I can remember was how incredibly powerful his voice was. One of the best concerts I have ever attended.

[@claudiotorrecillas1626]

Época dorada de los leps ,,jamás volverán a sonar igual ,sin Steve la banda no es lo mismo ,,ya no tienen al genio 😢

[@cindyleej2350]

Breaks my heart, Steve was was too gifted and too precious for this world, 😔😢.

[@manyolagos3161]

A riff master .. its not very often to see somebody playing a Gibson Firebird.. god bless steve clark .. thank you for the music ❤❤❤❤

[@Lewisusa11]

I really really miss Steve!!! :(

[@invitationsetc]

They sound great! Hysteria was my first concert ever. Will never forget it, Europe opened for them at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin. Glad I had the chance to see Steve play, his performance was epic with a memorable solo.

[@TheCyberianWonder]

Wow. 30 years on and I'm still so blown away by DefLeps always delivering like a gospel choir of greatful dead poets singing for a big tent revival troop on their last sunday on stage. This is still a solid Sunday morning jam!

[@MJmysummerlove]

I wish I had a time machine so I could be there.

[@joshloaf89]

defpickles98 amen

[@richga]

I miss you Steve.. as a guitar player you've inspired me over the years, as well as countless others. I wish you were still with us, you were and always will be the man.

[@ilovesteveclark6084]

STEVE, Cant you hear how much you were loved??? Everytime he did a solo I love hearing how the audience cheered! Why did you leave us?

[@karenglenn6707]

Wish he had known how loved and adored he was by so many. But maybe that wouldn't have helped him. I hope he feels it wherever he is now. Beautiful soul!

[@JPMusiclife]

Steve Clark played with such charisma, and relevance it enticed the crowd. He will forever be my hero. ~JP

[@haniwa3276]

Steve Clark was the real artist and showing you what’s important for rock n roll more than shredding. I miss him...

[@ilovesteveclark6084]

So humble....he even turns around and looks at the crowd when they start cheering in the beginning like he didn't expect it!

[@CarolMarineMom]

OMG!!! The guitar God Steve. Clark gone to soon.. But The reason Def leppards sound is so unique 💜🎵🎸

[@wereign9999]

Thanks for this...Steve Clark

[@IceQueenKimberly]

I saw this concert but in Philly!!!! Best concert ever, RIP STEVE

[@RockBrigadeCommunityForum]

One of their best tunes ever...

[@leepifer7645]

Leepifer trad. I had the chance to see them in Paris (Bercy) for Hysteria tour. I was on the Rick Allen side no arm, so impressive. What a sound and show it was. Each member were top performer. But the strongest memory is the Steve Clark solo, with his double guitar, runnin' like mad all along the stage, givin' incredible sounds and riffs. The crowd was totally in osmosis with him!

[@therealwilfreddierkes9980]

Over time, your memory fades n you remember things a tad differently than they had actually been. (For example, going back to your old house or high school) This is the first memory that I remember it being exactly how it was. 🤘🏻

[@JustMe-er9ve]

I was at this show. Good time

[@Hammerdrums]

I was in Chelsea a few days ago and I went to his house 😢

[@owenmiller5881]

This is the best intro they had for this song. Should’ve been on the record.

[@MrClassicRock2011]

[@clintoneal]

This may sound so sill bit oh well. But right at the end i noticed rick allen hits that huge china cymbal that he has on the far right of his kit. I've never seen him hit that up until now.

I know that we can get "In The Round In Your Face" but thats not even a full show, and they edited the crap out of it. They should of released a '87 show instead.
