Def Leppard 2007-2008 Tour Visuals - Updated

Director Mark Devlin has worked on Def Leppards on stage monitor graphics during the 2007 and 2008 tours. A number of video clips and explanations of them have been added to his design website that detail his involvement in the design team that creates the tour visuals.

Jonathan Beswick who is credited as co-director for the C'mon C'mon promo video has been Def Leppard's tour video director during the 2006/2007/2008 tours. Mark has worked as part of the animation team along with Jonathan and others in developing the show playback animation seen at past and current live shows. The basic designs and concepts are worked on over a number of weeks before final approval is given by Jonathan for use on the video screens as the band play.

Included on this site are the visuals for Animal, Nine Lives, C'mon C'mon and the Intro Video. The C'mon C'mon visuals form the basis of the current promo video and also feature the Steve Clark angel image (shown below). Also shown are a number of online fan pics and You Tube videos to showcase the screen footage in action, including some submitted to this site.

(Many thanks to Jonathan Beswick for providing the corrections to the above details of the tour video production.)

The website has various excellent videos, as used on the stage monitors which include the amazing final Intro video, final version of Animal with soundboard live sound, Nine Lives & C'mon C'mon sequences in full.

Quote - "After a successful release of their latest album "Songs from the Sparkle Lounge", the band decided they wanted to begin to promote a new single from that Album.

Quote - "Mark was also approached to create an original video for "Nine Lives", the lead single to their "Songs from the Sparkle Lounge" album. The song was co-written and preformed by famed country singer, Tim McGraw.

When Mark first heard the music, he pictured a beautiful girl with long legs over black background walking directly into the camera..."

Quote - "In 2006, classic rock band Def Leppard went on tour with another rock classic Journey. Def Leppard so admired the work Mark did for Journey that they too requested that Mark try to put a new spin on the video for their rock classic "Animal" for their 2007 World Tour..."
