I think this rules!-I remember this video-I saw them on High and Dry tour they opened for Blackfoot at Oakland-it was killer and I still have the DF button and the Blackfoot patch I bought there
@RICARDOLARADRUMMER If you think Lepp sucks, go hang out in the comment section of Rebecca Black and Dickface Beiber then. and as far as the thumbs up comment, the only thumbs up you will get is your own thumbs up your ass! can you say owned?!?!?!
They were all in their teens. I saw them in 1980 in Houston, I remember the gig well because a guy had fallen out of the balcony and landed in the seats five feat from me. I was like 13 years old or something and I was like "wow, so this is waht a rock concert is all about". I just thought that stuff happened all the time. Blackfoot headlined, and although they blew away Def Leppard, the young dudes did hold their own.
I was 4yrs old when this came out, but I still remember hearing this song on the radio..... I had my dad get this album so I could listen to it anytime I wanted..... that and my mom got tired of me repeating the same part over and over again.
I saw these guys open for Blackfoot in Denver at the old Rainbow. It was a double show and Blackfoot screwed them by having them open the first show at 7:00 and then close the second show at about midnight. They were royally pissed off but played an incredible second show anyway! I wish they had stayed with the harder rock of their first album but I don't think they have any regrets!
Yeah I remember my friend tought me that riff and figured out the rest.He Snatched that guitar out of my hands...literally!!!!!Now I OWN that Gibson.backin 1983 I believe,knuck knuck
anyone want a good laugh at a shit band--check out summerseve and frightningus--they think they sound like musicians!enjoy the sounds of cats being burned
Fucking hell! what kind of coked out lunatic queer did def leppard hire to dress them for this video? What the fuck is that vest joe elliots wearing? whats up with steve clarks rainbow suit? also check out my band, click on the blue word to your left and you can hear some of our songs, we likes the deffy leppard.
@SummerAndLightningUS I don't know who dressed them but I do know that they were all hugely influenced by the glam scene,especially bands like Mott the Hoople,Slade and David Bowie.Maybe this was an attempt to look "glam" at first which they thankfully gave up on.
I remember buying this album when it first came out,and along with the first Iron Maiden album,being totally blown away.Leppard was a frontrunner in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal along with Maiden,Angelwitch,Samson,Saxon,Diamond Head,etc.No matter what they turned into later on,they are a very important band in the history of metal.I saw them open for Billy Squier on their first American tour and they were amazing live.A HUGE thanks to the person who uploaded these old videos!
@TheProgtologist my mom told me her first concert was that same Squier/Leppard tour in MA. NWOBHM is awesome. i love this sound of Def Leppard (and their later sound) and Maiden and Saxon is SOOO underrated!
this is not the same recording done on the first record, it was done before. by the way, if yer bored and want to check out a track from our band, click on the blue word on the left, its brand new just put it up
@SummerAndLightningUS I enjoyed it !your right, i was bored until I checked out your video.But why would your band want to see me screw your girl?and your right again--brand new just put out(i mean up)new video.although it might also be boring,these fans have seen this time and time again-with your girl with me,def leppard,the guy down the street,etc.,etc.,HAHAHAHA
@sabrinapeepers69 You sound more "wasted" than steven clark and pete willis put together. And id you want to get with my girlfriend you will have to 1. get in line 2. go to the doctor to get your skanky old lady pussy checked for herpes first.
saw these guys open for ac/dc highway to hell tour at leicester de montford hall, excellent band back then but got ruined when they hit big in the states, ,,overture, ride into the sun, wasted, ..classic stuff
Priceless! I first saw Leppard open for Nugent in 1980. We all bought those black World Tour t-shirts. I don't think a day went by for the next 5 years that one of us wasn't wearing that shirt! I probably saw them 30 more times in the 80's.
I've been exposed to a lot of great music in the last 25 years but I whenever I listen to On Through the Night and High N Dry it still sounds great. I'm sure we've all moved on musically but man was this wonderful music to grow up with. RIP Steve.
Believe me when I say that back in 80 when this album first came out it WAS NOT a failure, all of us into metal/rock had this album. Leppard along with Maiden, Saxon, Priest etc.... were leading the charge as far as the NWOBHM went. I saw them at the Oxford Apollo back in March/April 80 and they were 'kin Brilliant.
Saw them on this tour, their first (I believe) tour of the U..S. The date: July, 1980. The venue: Checkerdome, St. Louis, Mo. The bill (in order of appearance): Def Leppard touring for On Through the Night, Scorpions touring for Animal Magnetism, Ted Nugent touring for Scream Dream (Wango Tango Tour). I was 15 years old, my second real concert. Long live rock-n-roll.
Thanks for posting! Never seen this before. They are miming to the single release of the song, which was recorded before the debut album. They did some awesome sessions on the Friday Rock Show in 1979 and I eagerly awaited the album, but the production was very poor and it was a massive let-down. Still, they more than made up for it with High 'n Dry.
This song should end EVERY concert that Def Leppard does for the encore, AC/DC would never do a show and ignore HIghway to Hell. Def Leppard and Joe Elliott in particular forgets where it all started.
I think all these Pete Willis-loving comments are being posted by Pete using multiple youtube accounts... this is quite clearly a Steve Clark jam (writing credit, main riff, solo, as most of the killer jams were (Let It Go, Switch 625, etc) and yet you seem to think Pete is the most beautiful boy you've ever seen... credit where credit is due, people.
@109Thunder You know I was just thinking of an old interview where Joe was saying this was the worst stuff they ever released because of the boozing. In my opinion this stuff is what defines Def, not Pour some shit on me.
Great hard rock band that released 2 LP's worth listening to, first 2.
Then they became MTV darlings, poured sugar all over their music and became CACA. Best tune: Wasted.
Saw them open for JPriest on their 1st US tour, 79' and could relate to kids on stage rockin' their asses off. That nite after the show, met Pete while at a rock bar (The Old Buffalo- El Paso, TX), he was getting a pack of smokes from a machine, went up to him n chatted him up, very cool lad. Still have these 2 vinyls \m/
This is great but why are you always saying that DL with Pete was the only real deal? Come on, he couldn't play with them anymore so they fired him and hired Phil. He's much better and they wrote a lot of good stuff with him. If you'd say that DL without Steve is worse, I'd say yes. Steve was the spirit of this band!
Def Leppard Didn't Find The Sound Yet Back Then ... Listen To The First Two Albums You'll Know What I Mean! ... The Pyromania Album ... Is When They Got It Made! ... I Heart DEFLEPPARD!
@bigblock31 Yes Pete gets paid for the songs he co-wrote while in the band. He has been quoted in interviews as saying he has done quite well for himself from those albums.
@esotericeric93 No, Pete's not dead. He's selling real estate in Sheffield, England. Plus, he plays with a band called Atomic Mass. (No, not Def Leppard before their band name was Def Leppard)
First band I ever saw live backing up AC/DC (the real one that is with Bon!) at the Hammy Odeon in '79. so impressed we went to see them shortly afterwards in their own right at the Marquee Club. Right up the front singing 'we hate the mods' Joe Elliott came out and joined in. Great Days.. Bought the single Wasted, much better version than the Album. B-side Hello America is also a better version.

First band I saw live '79 backing up AC/DC. Went straight out and bought Wasted the single - much better than the album version. We then went out and saw them at the Marquee in their own right - Right up at the front - We were chanting 'we hate the Mods'.... Joe Eliott came out and joined in....great days...
yeah you've got to feel a little bad for Pete Willis. Even though him exiting the band in turn made them have all the key players in line for arena rock massive success...i (but then the debate would be what would Pyrmoania / Hysteria have been like with Pete Willis / Mutt Lange producing. I dont know. he just seemed to have such an energy and chemistry with steve clark. we will never know what would have been!
Pretty cool clip from the early days; sure did appear to be an up and coming, hungry rock and roll band here. They got a bit too polished on a lot of their later stuff for my tastes. At least now I know where the idea for the puffy shirt on Seinfeld came from:)
nobody in the world to date has made a gibson RAZOR sing the way Steve did. OLD SCHOOL Def Leppard made me want to pick up a guitar. This group is one of the world's greatest treasures. This band never gets the attention & glory deserving them. Many bands have stopped for less then this group of freinds have gone though.

@esotericeric93 No, Pete's not dead. He's selling real estate in Sheffield, England. Plus, he plays with a band called Atomic Mass. (No, not Def Leppard before their band name was Def Leppard)

@esotericeric93 Steve Clark passed away. Pete is still alive.

@bigblock31 On the VH1 show That Metal Show they said he was in real estate-which means he's probably broke!!

First band I ever saw live backing up AC/DC (the real one that is with Bon!) at the Hammy Odeon in '79. so impressed we went to see them shortly afterwards in their own right at the Marquee Club. Right up the front singing 'we hate the mods' Joe Elliott came out and joined in. Great Days.. Bought the single Wasted, much better version than the Album. B-side Hello America is also a better version.

First band I saw live '79 backing up AC/DC. Went straight out and bought Wasted the single - much better than the album version. We then went out and saw them at the Marquee in their own right - Right up at the front - We were chanting 'we hate the Mods'.... Joe Eliott came out and joined in....great days...

For some reason, the way they're dressed reminds me of the band Queen.

@Aquacrystal2 probably because they were influenced by Queen along with most rock bands of the 70s.

yeah you've got to feel a little bad for Pete Willis. Even though him exiting the band in turn made them have all the key players in line for arena rock massive success...i (but then the debate would be what would Pyrmoania / Hysteria have been like with Pete Willis / Mutt Lange producing. I dont know. he just seemed to have such an energy and chemistry with steve clark. we will never know what would have been!

@andinthedistance oh to clear up my comment i meant mutt lange producing while pete willis was in the band as lead guitar.

Pretty cool clip from the early days; sure did appear to be an up and coming, hungry rock and roll band here. They got a bit too polished on a lot of their later stuff for my tastes. At least now I know where the idea for the puffy shirt on Seinfeld came from:)

nobody in the world to date has made a gibson RAZOR sing the way Steve did. OLD SCHOOL Def Leppard made me want to pick up a guitar. This group is one of the world's greatest treasures. This band never gets the attention & glory deserving them. Many bands have stopped for less then this group of freinds have gone though.
