I first saw Def Leppard in 1982 and most recently a few years ago. Unlike many other older rock bands from the 70's and 80's these guys still put on a high quality and well produced show. They are still worth the price of admission.

Wow Vivian Campbell from Dio!!! That would be great to see!

I saw the members of Def Leppard in a BlueRay "extra" for the 2012 movie "Rock of Ages" (the one where movie stars are actually singing 80's Rock on-camera). They were sitting off-camera on the shoot where Tom Cruise was performing "Pour Some Sugar On Me". I remember thinking, "Man! They're looking old!" Then thinking, "Man! I'm getting old if I remember them looking younger!"

Got to see Kiss in 1979 on their Dynasty tour when my best friend's older sister had extra tickets and took us both. I was only 12 years old. First time I ever saw projectile vomiting (from drunks in the audience - not Simmons). Never saw them after that. Saw Def Leppard on the Pyromania tour in January 1983 w/ Krokus and Gary Moore. Def Leppard was just breaking through to the big time then and were still a hard-rock band. Being on tour with solid heavy metal acts forced them to do their best. Saw Campbell with Dio 4 times in the 80s. Its now 30 years later and the fire has long since gone out. Both of these groups should have retired years ago.

Michael Schenker is touring in Japan now. And I'm told it's a great show.
