Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell was a member of Whitesnake in December 1988 and jammed with members of Motley Crue and Bon Jovi at a Cheap Trick show.
The concert took place on 26th December at the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles. Cheap Trick were joined on stage by members of Bon Jovi, Whitesnake and Motley Crue for a seven song jam session. Those on stage included - Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, David Bryan, Vince Neil, Tommy Lee, Vivian Campbell, David Coverdale, Rudy Sarzo, Tommy Aldridge and all four members of Cheap Trick.
Vivian plays a short solo during 'Jailhouse Rock' - a song that Phil Collen had jammed on with Motley Crue two years earlier in Paris. Just a couple of weeks before this show (at Wembley Arena in London) Rick Allen also guested on 'Get Back' with Bon Jovi.
