    Great stuff, I was there! I was 13, went with my Dad and the guitarist of the band he was in. Great show. I remember this show came on TV afterwards and I recorded it on VHS. Great to see it on TH-cam, thanks!

    Bloody brilliant band! Saw them live in Cape Town in 1996, & was lucky enough to see them again earlier this month in Atlanta. We’re all a little older, but they’re still amazing on stage 🤘🏻🎸🇬🇧

    I still love them after all these years. I can't wait to play their music for my little great grand daughters the next time they visit from S. Carolina.

    This was my very first live show I ever attended. I was 13 years old and fought with my parents to let me go. We got home from Jo'burg very late that night. Best live show I ever saw. Was so loud!

    No matter how long it's been and no matter how much I like Vivian and think he does a fantastic job, I still miss seeing Steve up there. To me Steve was the rock star, with his slung low guitar and hard hitting riffs he was the guy in the song Juke box hero. RIP Steve...

  • @JWCFB
    @JWCFB 4 ปีที่แล้ว +38

    High and Dry is still thier best album. It's thier second ever album, the one before Pyromania. It's easily thier hardest rocking album, it's when the average age of the band was 18. I'm 60 years old and I think it's the best rock album ever made with maybe the exception of Queensryche Operation Mindcrime. If your one of those people that didn't know who Def Leppard was until Pyromania or Hysteria, then back up just a little to 1981 and listen to High and Dry. You will be glad you did.

    • @JWCFB
      @JWCFB 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hey John I respect your opinion. Interesting story about that album, all of my many so called hard rock and heavy metal friends used to come to my house and hang out a lot because I was a drummer and where I lived volume was not an issue. People knew when they came to my house they would be listening to music. High N Dry was the only record that ever got played where some of my hard rocking heavy metal friends had to get up and leave because they couldn’t take it anymore. It’s an album that separated the men from the boys I guess. Raw as hell. Even to this day I listen to everything loud and when the last song is over I feel like I’ve been in a car wreck and it feels so good. This album never gives you a break. No cheesy ballads just to get a song on the radio. Maybe that’s why I like it so much but I don’t expect everybody else to so yes I respect your opinion. What are some of your favorite bands and albums?

    If I remember correctly, it was on the 6th of December 1996,Standard Bank Arena. 3 days before my birthday, still dating my now ex wife. We were right against the security barrier at the stage. The air was thick with spirit. What a concert it was! Just awesome!

    45:26 is one of my favorite cute little Def Lep moments. Normally at this part of the song Joe & Phil meet up but this time Viv & Sav decided to join in too. Joe says "Aah... Feedback." They're all smiling. What a cute moment.

      Totally agree with you about Steve steamin Clark it’s sucks luckily enough Rick Allen was a success story and the boys probably were thinking that was a miracle what else could possibly happen next. Well Steve helped them hit super stardom after hysteria crushed it . He never got to enjoy his success and hard work. And I believe he was a much better lead guitarist then Phil but the show must go on. I also think Vivian is a better lead but you can tell from this concert he’s not getting to shred unless he just joined the band IMO

    He might never see this, but I hear his words and I've been waiting for him since the year I was born. He has awoken me. Near them is where I long to be. He pulls me in to write the lyrics I was born to write, and our voices never age. I hear his voice his every breath, sometimes even his sadness. I'm overjoyed knowing I'm not alone, and my spirit now knows that I have a home.

    Def Leppard have been great in different ways numerous times during their career. But as this show demonstrates, they had something *to prove* in 1996. Out of all the times I've seen them, the Slang Tour was the most energy-packed, pound-for-pound. I wish Rick had stayed with his "Acoustic/Electric" Kit for longer (as opposed to his usual "Electric/Acoustic" Kit) and damn was he hitting the throttle pedal next to his Snare Pedal, especially @4:00. And for all who lament Steve and "The Terror Twins" and think that Vivian is a poor substitute, just look at Phil & Viv's faces and just how much fun they're having one their first "real" tour together ('92/'93 was more of a "getting to know you" tour for all involved). And Joe's hair isn't a PoodleMullet, and he's straddling the perfect line of his more "shouting/screaming" delivery of the past and his not-used-enough "Chest Range" of the future.
    ...if I could go back, I damn well would have seen more than two "Slang" shows. :-/

      I don't know if I agree on the most energy packed - 1983, plus both in the round tours were pure energy. Nonetheless, this was their first time playing in South Africa and they were 200% on their A game for it. But, after 3 decades of seeing them on various tours, I think they always try to give their best. Have to totally agree about Phil and Vivian being a lot of fun to watch. It took me a bit to warm up to Vivian, because, one I was young and stupid, and two, who didn't want Steve back, but Viv for me is now just as much of a Lep as the rest of them. P.S. Joe can wear his hair however he wants, mullet or no mullet, no problem.

      I don’t know man. Euphoria was a pretty cool tour. That album is still one of my favorites. OTTN and Pyromania are my top two with Euphoria being my third. That guitar tone on that record was so ridiculous.

      Ian Perge his acoustic/electric was heavily triggered so was effectively the same as his usual more electric looking kits. Just the visual that was different

      wreywery eryey yes but i think he means this was the most energy packed tour from the post Steve era, when everyone was saying Def Leppard were finished so they felt like they had to prove themselves

      My very first def Leppard concert was Def Leppard in 1996 for their Slang tour. It was actually my first ever concert I was just a kid back then. Yeah, hearing a few songs off their Slang album made me so happy. It's too bad they no longer play any songs from the Slang album. I would love to see them do All I want is everything again next time I go see them live. 🙏🏻

    This era and these songs had to be so much easier on Joe's throat. Listen to Pyromania and try to sound like that for entire tour , then the next tour , then the next and the next. He can still get it done though. Cheers!
