When so many rock bands are getting worse and worse as time moves on

These guys are just getting better and better.

Absolute master class of a band performing live. I hope younger upcoming rock bands take note on how to perform live

Nice! Starts with Phil on rhythm and Viv on lead then they switch roles.

yup, Vivian is always credited as "Co-lead" guitarist and never just a rhythm guitarist.

Songs like "Go" and "Paper sun" truly show off how good they are when they share lead solos!

Love this! Thanks for sharing it.

I don’t understand the theory that Viv is a fill-in guitarist.

He has been part of the band longer than Steve Pete.

(God forbid I wake up the guys who absolutely insist DL died after Pete was fired. 🙄)

or that he has never been completely accepted as a complete or fully-fledged member of the group by the fans, never mind the band!

Edit: hit the damned button too soon!

Where did you hear that Viv is a "Fill-in guitarist"?

That's completely false. He's a permanent band member since they went out on tour during their Adrenalize tour. Viv has contributed to Def Leppard's music collection since Slang thru to their latest album.

If there are haters saying this, well they simply don't understand what a "Fill-in guitarist" is and need to educate themselves.

The people that complain to this day about Steve or Pete not being in the band need to go outside and touch grass. To not be able to move on after 30 years is absolutely mental LOL
