Old Sheffield Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I worked at Virgin on Fargate when Def Leppard played a gig in the basement. It was a bit of a nightmare, the audience (fan club I think) were left standing in some foul weather for ages while the band got ready. Meanwhile there was a stream of mates, ex-schoolmates, ex-dinner ladies and hangers on being let in through a side door. On a more positive note many years before we travelled , with Cavendish Travel, to Nottingham Royal Court Theatre to see them on the Pyromania tour, it was a rearranged date and during the interim their career had took off. They honoured the date and it was an amazing show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponytail Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Do you remember when Def Leppard played Don Valley Stadium 6th June 1993? Were you one of the reported 40,000+ there? Rather fittingly first to play at the Stadium. Could hear them in Brinsworth doing their sound check. From my back bedroom window could see the stage or big screen in the stadium before the view was annoyingly blocked by a building. 😂🤣 The day of the performance it was a very warm day; sat on the back step listening to the whole performance. Brilliant!!! Must have turned the volume down slightly from sound check to performance but they were still loud! but not as loud as Bruce Springsteen when he played Bramall Lane.
