RICK ALLEN IS THUNDER GOD!!! One freakin arm!?

[@74babyblue]

and that's how we did it back in the day ladies and gentlemen

[@deantitus9734]

In case you guys were wondering, after his near fatal car accident in the mid '80s, Rick Allen had to have a custom built drum kit to compensate for his missing left arm!! He now uses his right arm and both feet(barefoot, BTW) to create the necessary sounds that his left arm would have made.

[@NikkieTwix]

His voice is so unreal live! Sounds so much like the studio it’s crazy

[@michaellazzeri2069]

THIS CROWD WAS SO LOUD ! YOU COULDN'T HEAR YOURSELF THINK ! OMG!!

One the most legendary live. Bands next to Iron Maiden ever live

Best concert I have ever been too

Amazing band and drummer

[@tracysnow349]

Hands down, the most resilient band in Rock. No one has been through more adversity than this band and continues to rock us. Love em beyond words!

"If alcoholism, car crashes, and cancer couldn't kill us, the '90's had no fucking chance!" -Joe Elliott

[@heathersullivan2561]

I love this band. They are the epitome of brotherhood. Drummer lost arm in car crash. They did not replace. Waited for him to recover and figure it out. Lost one to alcoholism. They still carried on. The newer member ( took place of super blonde one that died) got cancer. They waited around for him to get better. Did not replace. They are amazing. Love mostly the early stuff. Not the typical band that just replaces members when they have a crisis or they have issues.

[@vincespartacus372]

Damned.... thx thx thx..... I just never forget Mr Steve Clark (rip Steve)

not a dang cell phone in the crowd!! YES!! Great reaction!

[@ChristineKirsch-n6q]

I love the comment about the lighters, I'm 61 so this was very common, I've seen def leppard more than I can count, and the front row since 1983. What a culture shock fast forward to 2022, and I had to carry a clear bag of a certain dimension so your whole business was exposed, good thing I didn't have anything embarrassing in there, oh the humiliation! It was all worth it though because even in 2022 they put on a great show

[@stephenignatz8364]

The drummer only has one arm. He developed that drum kit himself after losing his arm in an accident.

[@jacekrudzki5888]

Obviously they are not aware of this!

right after this album came out but obviously before this concert.

[@fernando_713]

@@jasonmgomez what are you talking about? He lost his arm before they released the album

[@jasonmgomez]

@@fernando_713 Nope. This song is from Pyromania, which he recorded with a traditional kit and BOTH arms. He lost the arm on New Years Eve, 1984, a year after this album was released and before the band began recording the next album, Hysteria.

Steve Clark is an amazing guitarist with incredible riffs, classically trained. He passed away in 91. Rick Allen lost his arm in a car accident and while in the hospital he figured out how to keep playing drums in the band, no one rushed him and he is still rocking💖

I am 64 years old, and let me tell you something...if you took a young lady with you to one of their concerts, you were not spending the night alone in your apartment! ( I know this since I saw them in my hometown, in Phoenix AZ, and L.A. )!! Their concerts were totally amazing...so much energy in the crowd!

[@liquidSpin]

DEF LEPPARD RUUUULES!!!

[@vernhoke7730]

The opening of this song was created by Mutt Lang as the guys would screw around during recording. Instead of counting off to get them started he did the weird 4 word count, the band loved it and put it on the studio recording. During concert the drummer Rick Allen does it.

[@R.POWELL]

It was the best of times- WE HAD FUN !! 👍

[@rekabyeroc1]

This song was complete in stuido except the chorus, joe elliot the singer happened to go to the studio early and someone left a bible open to the hym 'rock of ages" and he took it and ran, rest is history.

[@PhilHolmes70]

Yes, it was great. I saw them on the Hysteria tour back in '87, fantastic atmosphere.

[@beefjake]

This is from that tour.

[@TheBruceGday]

I was there in Denver when this was recorded. Was amazing!

[@NZLatic]

An amazing band and still going strong in 2024 🎸

[@shawnoverton7625]

DEF LEPPARD ROCKS ALL THE WAY THEY ROCK!

[@spikegifted]

The tragedy in Def Leppard, aside from Rick Allen losing his arm, was the death of Steve Clark. What a lost!! Watching this recording just reminds me the kind of stage presence he had. R.I.P. Steve.

[@tracysnow349]

So sad. but like I said, they are still together, and have rocked even through Vivian Campbell's cancer. They are so incredible!

The drummer only has one arm. He lost his left arm in a car accident after rolling his Corvette threw a field in the English countryside, circa 1984.

[@lilpoohbear653]

[@winder1986]

Love watching your reactions to Def Leppard.They have been my favourite band since 1983!!!Keep up the good work guys!!!

[@tp3922]

What I remember about the group, the drummer his arm in a massive car wreck. The label was pushing to have him replaced - the group took a year off to give time to recover. Spending their own money and helped design a drum set - digital drum pad and drum machine to aid in the limitations of having only one arm. I admire their loyalty to their drummer, even though I am not a big fan of their songs.

[@navydogsadventures3500]

This band was so bad ass!

[@shawnoverton7625]

The drummer is really amazing man and fantastic job Rick Alan from Def leppard.

[@leeperdue7906]

I went to the that tour. The stage was in the middle allowing fans on all sides. The Drummer had been in a car accident and lost his arm and learned how to play electronic drums with one arm and two feet. Great,, fun band!

I went to the that tour too!

[@gamleskalle1]

First band with 2 Diamond albums in a row. Pyromania and Hysteria in 83 and 87. 10-13mill sold in America for each album.

[@spikegifted]

Def Leppard is just legendary! The drum kit looked the way it did because Rick Allen lost his arm in a motor accident at the end of 1984. After leaving hospital, he want to his local drum store to try out various pads to allow him to replicate his drumming using his feet and his remaining arm. For many, he became a better drummer. The the drum sound in the Hysteria album sounded much fuller compared to the previous ones.

[@paulfadeley3496]

"In the round" means the stage was in the center of the arena, not a bad seat in the house!!!!! i saw this tour it was epic live and i was only a teenager!!!!

[@robertdebaie9849]

Def Leppards is my all time favorite band!. I've seen them a number of times. That concert was epic. Yes , it was a blast!. Love you guys!. Love you're reactions. SQ getting into it. Love it!.

Rock 'n" Roll Legends/Rumors have the guitar and bass player going under the stage during the audience participation break down and well lets just say that's where the groupies would hang during the show. There's one story that may or may not be true that one night a mother-daughter duo were partaking in the festivities under the stage as well. Ah yes, the good ol' 80's. \m/\m/

First live concert i ever saw and still the best. They wete the first to do a full in the round tour.

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Written by Joe Eliott, Steve Clark + Mutt Lange. Produced by Mutt Lange. Keyboards by Thomas Dolby. 2 years before this album, Foreigner hired Mutt + Thomas for the album 4. The result was the most sales for any Foreigner album! 🤯 The next year, Mutt appeared in the Thomas Dolby song She Blinded Me with Science. Bestselling Thomas Dolby song! 🤯 Mutt + Thomas added a boost for this song + the rest of Pyromania! 🐕 🎹 Suggested next video: Pour Some Sugar on Me. 🇬🇧 RIP Steve Clark.

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Replace that song with Promises. 🇬🇧

[@brandimodrak461]

The 70's and 80's were great concerts and it's hard in the video, but the stage slowly spins they did that so people behind them could see them to and of course they were able to get more money because they were able to sell more front row tickets. Much love to you and your families. Brandi Modrak 💕

[@grobinson7507]

The stage is round and the drummer is a round of his own. So he moves around too.

Saw them at the Gorge in George on July 4 1993. As near as I can remember Joe wished us ... the USA ... a happy birthday and then added "That was the day you kicked us out." Everyone had a big laugh.

In the round came from their stage set up. Their stage was in the center of the arena so everyone had a good seat since they ran around the stage wherever they wanted, and Rick Allen's drum kit rotated.

The drummer plays the snare with his left foot and triplets on the pads to get the drum rolls in. There hit Photograph was a drum machine so when he learned to perform live on the next albums it sounded like the drum machine kit but him playing it this time.

The thing with the opening of this song is in the studio the producer mutt Lang tried to keep things light hearted. So at the start of the song instead of saying 1 2 3 4. Head say funny little things. That's mutt at the start of the song.

Rick Allen, drummer,lost an arm in a freak accident. Def Leppard cancelled the tour, until Rick learned to play drums with one arm. I saw them before this happened and after. It was unfucking believable. There was no difference in his play. I was 16 and I'll never forget it.
