39 Years Ago DEF LEPPARD Play 2nd US Show In Fresno, CA (Video)

Def Leppard 1980. Def Leppard Fresno 1980

Def Leppard played their second US show in Fresno, CA on this day in 1980 and archive video footage is available.

This was the second US show by the band and first to be recorded by fans with two audio recordings in circulation.

One fan filmed the show and released a 10 minute highlights video in 2010 featuring 'Lady Strange' and 'Wasted' plus Pat Travers headline set.

It was later re-uploaded (the first and best quality version by DL Johnson from 2011). You can also listen to the full show recording.

There is a connection to the 2015 tour from this show as the drummer for the Pat Travers Band at the time was Tommy Aldridge.

He went on to play with Vivian in Whitesnake on the 1987/1988 tour and is now back in the band for a third time and will play with them during the December UK tour.

The full video for the Fresno, CA show was recently added to YouTube in two parts and can be seen via the playlist linked below.
