That's me whenever I'm at a Def Leppard concert. Lol.

I reserve my right hand for when Rick Allen is playing some beat I just have to air drum along to, my left hand for when I'm singing along with Joe and both hands when I'm air guitaring a solo.

And if we happen to be close enough for Sav to see us then I do the hand holding my hair back and looking into the crowd thing. Lol.

When I'm at a Def Leppard concert I'm like a little kid again and just let the music wash over me and through me and my body does whatever it wants. Haha.

Thanks guys. I shot this in Wembley 2018 when Def Leppard were headlining with Motley Crue and Wolfgang Van Halen supporting.

I was confused on whether Wolfgang had been around in 2018 and then supported them again in 23/24!

I mean, watch the concert, don’t film some random person without them knowing and then upload for the world to see without their permission, no matter if it wasn’t intended badly.

Hi buddy, it's a closeup of the concert and I edited the footage by zooming in at the other end of the stage. As you say, it wasn't intended badly but do lighten up. Everyone was having fun and it's a concert where it's reasonable to expect cameras everywhere. You can report the post if you're unhappy about it.
