Joe Elliott - Tour Diary Quotes

"But it has to be said that Pittsburgh is a very important area for us, so we weren't too happy about not playing there. So after much research, it turned out that good old Neil Diamond had this transportable roof. So we rented it off him for a not-too-shabby fee, and hey presto! - Def Leppard in Pittsburgh!"
