This is crazy! How in the world did this store even get this dude??? Phil is iconic, in an iconic band who sell out stadiums and arenas worldwide...... and he's here playing in front of 30 people! What a humble guy. Whoever uploaded this , you lucky SoB!!
@@deangoings You sir have major reading comprehension issues. No where did I ever say in my comment that Phil Collen was considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time. I'll write it out slowly so you can understand ... I said he's "I C O N I C". Apparently you don't know what that means. Example: Motley Crue is a household name in the rock community therefore everyone knows who Mick Mars is. THAT makes him iconic. No one would ever say Mick is one of the greatest guitarists lol. Yes, Phil is iconic due to every single rock and roll fan knowing who DL are and who he is. Take your negativity down the road kid.
@@deangoingsyou clown, he's in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, of course he's iconic. He wouldn't have done G3 with Satriani and Petrucci if he wasn't.
@@deangoings He doesn't care either. He's a perfect band guitarist, the type that always get work. No ego, great pocket, tasty solos, creative with riffs. If you wanna be a pro, you pay attention to guys like that, not 'the greatest of all times'. Those who stuck on 'the greatest of all time' BS are usually youtube shredders who don't go anywhere.
Same here with me. Photograph was such a classic even back then and it’s never lost its magic. Can you believe I actually remember hearing on the radio back then when the news reported that Rick Allen was involved in an accident. I was 13 at the time.
I remember walking into my local record store in March 1983 as a 16 yr old and buying Pyromania. Man it only seems like yesterday. Where did all those years go I wonder? Still feel like that 16 yr old today. Nothing's changed. The more things change the more they stay the same.
Oh yes and this was a great upload of Phil. It’s not everyday you get such an amazing guitarist play in a small venue like this. Speaks volumes that he’s really about the fans.
All the negative comments wish they could play half as good and had a fraction of his bank account. 😅 He's an incredible guitar player. Satriani brought him on a G3 tour with Petrucci for good reason. Go watch live clips of his set from that. Def Leppard rocks! Phil, Vivian, Steve Clark, and Pete Willis all rocked on guitar!
I'd rather listen to him than most of those high profile shredders. He's got great pocket, not many guitaists even pay attention to that. The dude plays guitar by himself, and yet you don't feel like anything is missing, you almost can hear the band around him. Eddie Van Halen had that too.
I grew up shopping and spending a lot of money at Boo Boo's in SLO!!! I happened to be back home on vacation and caught this really cool gig...met Phil at NAMM in the early 90's and he was cool then and still is!!
Love Phil - every time I see him he reminds me of his best mate + the lyrical + musical genius of Leppard who seriously 'had it all', the genuinely rock star cool Steven Maynard "The Riffmaster" Clark. And I wonder what "Steamin" would be doing today - with the inventions in technology. Phil has said that Steve was interested in the movie industry, sound tracks in particular. I will get bashed for this but his 'shredding' I have never taken to. But he 'can' play for sure.
Where is boo boos? Def Lepp has always been my favorite band going back to the early 80s. Those who were around during that time know what great music was back then and how fortunate we were to grow up with mtv. Blessed to watch and listen to def Lepp back then is an understatement. Glad I had the chance to see def Lepp right up close to the stage while Phil played directly in front of me. I kept giving him the “guitar strum” motion as to asking him for a pick. After his solo , he threw it directly at me and have it to this day. The funny part of it all was everyone around me was asking if they could see the pick. I was like fu*k no. 😂. Have it to this day. :)
Yes people, we want to hear you act like the woo girls at the bar instead of his playing. Why can nobody seem to contain or control themselves with anything, in any situation?
Every time I see him doing a demo or anything outside of DL, all he does is try and play as fast as he can? Every time! In DL he’s so melodic and tasteful. Never understood that.
Not to mention, without delay, reverb and other effects he is absolutely terrible. Plug him straight into an amp and its brutal. Watching his right hand action is hilarious to watch....makes you go WTF lol. Amazing what you can do in the studio with gadgetry. Steve Clark was the best guitarist the band had.
No offense to his fans, but Phil Collen is one of the most overrated players in rock music. Yes, he's recorded some tasty leads, especially on Pyromania, but soon after Hysteria was released he started picking as fast as he could every chance he got. He's an icon, but not because of his sloppy attempts to shred. Vivian Campbell must cringe whenever Phil puts on a shirtless speed-picking slop-fest live.
Phil isn’t so much a shredder but my lord what a song writer and iconic guitarist from an even more iconic band! Wish I could have caught this in person

Good god! He never got the recognition he deserved!!!!!!! Dude is a flipping BEAST!!!!!!

No he's not. No one says his name ever when asked who's the greatest guitarist of all time. He's not even the best def Leppard guitarist.

Phil Collen is my favorite player I love seeing stuff like this
Phil Collen is undoubtedly a musical wizard!
Living legends.. love these guys. Still my musical rock heroes since they day I heard Photograph in 1983.
Same here with me. Photograph was such a classic even back then and it’s never lost its magic. Can you believe I actually remember hearing on the radio back then when the news reported that Rick Allen was involved in an accident. I was 13 at the time.

I literally bought Hysteria at Boo Boo records back in the day! Wish I could have seen this.
DL....the world's GREATEST rock band ever! 😍
Awesome! So talented and such a nice guy.
Wow 👌 Phil Collen wonderful singing and awesome playing-very soul lifting ✨️🌹⚘️🌷🥀🫶💖❤️🔥🎸💥☺️
This is amazing. So cool of Phil
Oh yes and this was a great upload of Phil. It’s not everyday you get such an amazing guitarist play in a small venue like this. Speaks volumes that he’s really about the fans.
Boo Boo Records in SLO is an amazing shop!!! Great selection of vinyl & CDs!!!

phil you can tell he is a good dude to know for sure!!!
I grew up shopping and spending a lot of money at Boo Boo's in SLO!!! I happened to be back home on vacation and caught this really cool gig...met Phil at NAMM in the early 90's and he was cool then and still is!!
I remember seeing a few concerts in the back room of Boo Boo's. Good times and good memories. Thanks Marshall.
To the guy who yelled out Gods of War - I had a good laugh over that thanks!

Incredible clip!! 👍
So good!
Phil is a great guitarist ❤
Joe Elliott ever goes down Phil could handle the vocals.
He’s always singing. And people people think they mime
Phil sings lead on the demo version for DL Miss You In a Heartbeat. It's pretty good.
Awesome
A real pro!
First time i heard of him was in Girl.
Not seen a single clip of phil where he doesnt come across as a seriously nice, normal guy who happens to do the rockstar thing for a living
The Marshall is always on the scene
Rare to see Phil with a shirt on
I love how his voice sounds so much like Elliot
I would have been blown away. These people don’t react like huge fans. Whoa
Damn! He's wearing a shirt, too!!
Where is boo boos? Def Lepp has always been my favorite band going back to the early 80s.

BooBoos is in San Luis Obispo CA.
This isn't Phil Collen... the guy is wearing a shirt.
Stop he does wear shirts, trust me, I know for certain
Love you sweetheart 💋
I always thought he was a better singer too. Awesome guitar player!

Yes. Agree 100x. His sloppy attempts to shred are pure cringe.

@@shadeshadyshade254 you must be one hell of a guitar player with comments like this! 😂😂
Really not in the same league as his bandmate Vivian Campbell.
Is this serious..... his guitar skills belongs to the sixthies! 🤔
I like Phil but his fast riff runs are a bit 'wank'. No feeling or musicality. Love his slower stuff
No offense to his fans, but Phil Collen is one of the most overrated players in rock music. Yes, he's recorded some tasty leads, especially on Pyromania, but soon after Hysteria was released he started picking as fast as he could every chance he got.

Agree with you there. And without a ton of effects he is just awful. Plug him straight into an amp and see how he is.....awful.
Not keen then
Ahh the Dunning-Kruger effect
@@shadeshadyshade254 Yeah, I reckon you are better.
@@2410-s9l not a comparison. He’s lousy without effects. Completely relies on them.
Phil's shredding is embarrassing. Leave that to Vivian
Phil and Def Leppard 🇨🇱🗽
Phil isn’t so much a shredder but my lord what a song writer and iconic guitarist from an even more iconic band! Wish I could have caught this in person
