Def Leppard played an electric promo show on the Vault promo tour in Toronto, Canada on 21st November 1995 and rare audio is available.

The show took place at a small club in Toronto, ON and was sponsored by local rock station Q107.

The band ended the Vault promo tour the following night at CHUM-City Building with the 'Intimate & Interactive' live TV special.

This small radio show concert was only open to contest winners.

Two songs have now been made available online. Both of which have been floating around the internet for many years and one of them was posted ages ago on this site.

'Get It On' by T. Rex was played electrically for the only known time with a humorous intro by Joe. The sound of these songs were an indication of what would happen on the 1996/1997 'Slang' tour with Rick on acoustic drums.

'Ziggy Stardust' by David Bowie was also covered. Later played by the band again at a UK club show in November 1996.

Listen to both songs as uploaded by Canadian Lep fan Blair Linthorne.

The band are interviewed by a DJ for the first two minutes of the 10 minute video about the Vault tour and the upcoming Slang album/tour plans.

The two songs were the last two to be played.
