Just to correct the information for this one. Blizzard of OZZ did not play and were replaced at the last minute by Slade, who stole the day easily. I was there and have to say that although ok Def Leppard were a bit of a disappointment.

That was the Leppard appearance where Joe Ellitot took a full beer can, right in the nuts, in mid song.

Joe said that they didn't really stand a chance, following Slade, who every Brit had loved like they are members of the family, since we were wee bairns, watching them on TOTP.

BTW.. this isn't the full set, there is an audience version that contains the full set.
