Def Leppard 1983

Def Leppard played a show in London, England on 5th December 1983 and high quality photos are available.

The show was their second at the Hammersmith Odeon during the 1983 Pyromania tour.

The first took place in March on the main UK tour after Phil Collen's debut in February at the Marquee Club.

For this second date the band used almost their entire US production including pyrotechnics.

It would turn out to be the last UK show by Rick Allen before the New Year's Eve 1984 car accident that robbed him of his left arm. Unfortunately Rick is not featured in any of the photos.

An after show and end of tour party was later held at Chelsea FC's football ground Stamford Bridge. Attended by Phil's old band mates from Girl, pop group Bananarama and members of ZZ Top.

A gallery of high quality photos from this event can be seen below.
