[@NaturalMystic69]

Yes the Hysteria In the round tour was great but unfortunately I don't recall them playing in the round at the Toronto concert I attended. Stage was a more traditional setup at one end of the CNE Grandstand. Tesla opened and kicked ass too. The date was June 11th 1988.

[@Cpk86]

RIP Steve Clark. He did most of the song writing and will always be one of the best guitar players of all time. Gone but never forgotten ❤️

[@robhansen6370]

Steve Clark wrote NONE of the lyrics to the songs. His contribution to the sonic qualities of the song are massively underrated.

I was fortunate enough to see Def Leppard on this tour. The "in the round" stage was awesome because there was no bad seat in the house. RIP Steve Clark.

Man, I would have loved to seen this tour. I was only 13 at the time.

Me Too Steve. Saw them in Denver, where part of the In the Round concert video was filmed. Was an awesome concert.

This is possibly my favorite Def Leppard song, and my favorite one to sing. The lyrics are very artistic, and I just love the beginning lyrics. “Somewhere in the distance. I hear the bells ring. Darkness settles on the town, as the children start to sing…” I’ve seen Def Leppard in the round twice in the 80’s. They’re my all-time favorite band.

[@Tony-B23]

Mine too. I love this song. As great as this performance/version is it always seemed just a little slow. Not bad by any means, but like just a half step slow to me, but that's just me. I could be wrong

[@suzannevosburg4622]

They're perfection. Always have been.. I've seen them twice in concert. I've been a HUGE FAN since the 80s

[@zachariahlloyd6043]

Yep, they never missed a beat!!

[@richardfrancis9399]

I was there, twice for this tour. You have to realize, this shit was live! They had no autotune back then, and the harmonies are real. All of the harmonics that Steve and Phil pulled off are real. I play guitar and harmonics are hard to pull off correctly and they are doing it like it's nothing. It is amazing!

[@AzraelTheGamerCat]

Tesla did an awesome tribute to Steve Clark called "Song and Emotion". It's a beautiful song and it almost has that signature Def Leppard sound and feel to it. Amazing song!

[@johnbarraco5561]

Yes it is 💯❤️.. great band themselves 💯

[@slider9675]

Seen them 12 times dating back to 1983 on the Pyromania tour including this tour at Kemper Arena in KC Mo in 88. The round was such a cool stage set-up.......not a bad seat in the place with this stage. Still touring to this day and the they still kick major ass in concert.

[@drjag1155]

Joe is a fantastic singer! Love that song 🤘

[@heflinG6832]

I’ve been to four Def Leppard concerts, and they’re always AWESOME!!!

[@ryanflanigan6362]

The guitarist with the long blonde hair, is really talking about himself. Steve Clark will die in 1991. It sounds like a song about relationships. It's actually about not loving himself.

[@stephieholland2967]

It’s still that good till this day RIP Steve Clark

[@phillipg2195]

You mentioned about his vocals and the way the music is. In many interviews he credits the producer Mutt Lang for a lot of that as he pushed Joe Eliot on his singing. This is my favorite band and they still put on a good show to this day. This tour was probably my favorite as the stage was in the middle of the coliseum and there wasn't a bad seat in the house and the sound was awesome cause they didn't have to blast the speakers to reach the back. I will never forget the In the Round concert. Rock on People!!!

[@reneeheknowsmyname6771]

I saw them for this tour in Houston, Tx!!! Truly one of the BEST concerts I've ever seen! So grateful to have seen Mr. Steve Clark in concert!! Please react to Bringing On The Heartbreak from this concert!! It's AMAZING!!!!!!! And YES!! 80's concerts with the lighters, were the BEST!!!

Hysteria was leagues above High n Dry unless you just love the early stuff but can't go wrong no matter what but the sound guy nowadays sucks.

[@iggtastic]

Def Leppard is the king of the Monster Hook. Almost every song has a super catchy riff, lick, chorus, whatever. Usually all of the above. So satisfying to listen to because the earworms are combined with impeccable musicianship.

[@T.F.B.Enterprises]

What really really sets this band apart from other bands of this genre during this time was that the entire band was singing and they knew how to sing! The drummer, the bassist and both guitarists sing backing vocals. Nothing more gets the spine chilling when you have incredibly talented guitarists that can swap between rhythm and lead in an instance and trade their roles just like that and also being able to add that CRUCIAL backing vocal skills that makes the rest of the sound even better. That more often than not is were legendary and good shows are set apart.

[@adamwood7597]

[@poisonlady1965]

I saw them in the round in 93 in Wichita KS and it was one of the best performances ever even though it was after Steve Clark. That concert is still one of my faves ever. I got to hear them from their beginnings in early high school...best era of music ever was the entire 80s andit's not even close. People didn't have just everything thrown at them...you like country or you like rock n roll and concerts wee everything...no itunes or KZbin or Shazam or things like that...rock n roll and MTV made life better when they still played music.

[@chopps75]

If you want to hear everything the Def Leppard embodies, listen to "Bringin' on the Heartbreak/Switch 625" ... technically these are two sperate songs, but to get the full Def Leppard experience they must be listened to back to back (as they are on the album... and as they were meant to be experienced)

[@bellroad100]

I have always said that it should be illegal NOT to have these two songs played together, either on the radio or live! It’s just pure brilliance. And I’ve seen them play three times in the past two years, and I can happily say that they DO play them together, and they KILL it every time! ❤🎸🥰

[@bellroad100]

This is the first reaction video of yours that I’ve watched, and I commend you on your comments! 👍🏼 Though a couple things you should make a note of: 1. Steve Clark (the lead guitarist in this song) sadly and tragically died just 3 years later of alcohol poisoning.(you didn’t mention it, so not sure you knew that.) This song was his baby, as is Bringing on the Heartbreak and Switch 625, which are also epic classics you should check out! 2. There were several shots of Rick Allen playing drums, and it should be noted that at age 21 he lost his left arm in a car accident just 3 or 4 years prior to this! He basically re-learned how to play drums with one arm, and did it while the band spent months in the recordings of Hysteria, one of the biggest albums of the 80’s and one of the most classic rock albums of all time! I’m pretty sure his is the greatest comeback story in rock history! But lastly, kudos for pointing out the lighters! There was nothing like it back in the day. It’s still cool with cell phones, but I’m sorry, not the same! I didn’t smoke, but I made sure to have a lighter with me at every concert! 🔥

[@ferretmom66]

I saw them twice on this tour. Awesome show!

[@glyngasson8450]

I saw them on this tour at Earls Court London. Because the stage was in the middle it basically had 4 sides and they worked between them to cover all areas. Rick's drum kit just rotated very slowly throughout the set.

[@5stardave]

And to think the drummer Rick Allen started playing with Def Leopard when he was 15 years old.

[@JeffWaynee]

Steve Clark was the main songwriter in the band while he was still alive. He's the one playing lead guitar here.

[@MiguelLopez-is9te]

Enjoyed your reaction, guys. We were at that concert. Denver February 1988 at the now demolished McNichols Arena. a.k.a. Big Mac. Such a legendary performance also captured by the Pour Some Sugar On Me and Armageddon videos.🤘❤🤘

[@davidsutton9117]

Interesting when you said a lot of people stopped smoking. My first concert was Def Leppard, in the round (like in this video), at the Spectrum in Philadelphia in 1992 (about 4 years after this video), age 16. And me and my friends did not smoke, but we make sure to purchase lighters before the show for moments like this!

Agreed! Another old favorite of mine from High n Dry is Mirror Mirror (Look into my Eyes). This band still blows me away today when they perform that song live!
