Def Leppard performed Make Love Like A Man on UK TV show Top Of The Pops on this day in June 1992 and footage is available.
The episode was taped at the BBC TV Studios in London on 17th June.
The second appearance of the year after 'Let's Get Rocked' was played here in March.
The single had been released on 15th June and it peaked at Number 12.
The band flew in from Dublin for the show as they were preparing to launch the 'Adrenalize' world tour.
The episode was presented by Mark Franklin and guest presenter Bob Geldof.
Bob (who knew the band) introduced the song with "Def Leppard with Make Love Like a big girl's blouse".
Joe went on to be a guest co-presenter himself in January 1994 when in England to promote the 'Action' single.
Other performers on the show were Sophie B. Hawkins, Utah Saints, Take That and The Orb.
Watch the mostly playback performance below which featured live vocals from Joe and Phil, doing his now familiar 'Cockney Rhyming Rap'.
