I was very pleased to learn that my favourite band of all time Def Leppard will be returning to Australia for a tour in October of this year. An Australian tour is a rare thing for these guys – prior to this occasion, they had only been in town twice in twenty years.
I was there for the 2008 show and it was absolutely amazing. The only thing that bummed me out was that I bought a really sweet commemorative tour shirt which I promptly managed to lose two weeks later at a hotel in Melbourne when I was there for a work party. This time I will be more careful.
Lets finish this post with some music.
And they’re coming to NZ too.. Unfortunately terrible timing for us! Don’t think I’d be able to drag Cherie up to Auckland in October!
Anyway check his out… I reckon it’s one of the best acoustic songs I’ve ever heard. Back when Joe’s voice worked properly!

Wow that version is awesome. Never heard it before.
There’s a lot of good ones from that show in 1995…
