Oh to be young again. I already had Def Leppard's first independently pressed single and hitch hiked to see them at Leeds Fforde Green hotel on this tour, met them afterwards, got on famously, and should really have stayed in touch, especially after they became so successful in America, but l foolishly rebuked their offers of being put on the guest lists etc. I did get an ultra rare t-shirt which l ended up giving to my sister but hey ho such is life. Also saw them at the Newcastle Mayfair gig at the end of the tour and supporting Sammy Hagar and others around that time. They were great, and obviously heavily influenced by Thin Lizzy (from what l remember).
