Def Leppard’s ‘Hysteria’ was released 30 years ago today (August 3, 1987). The album sold over 25 million copies & produced some adrenaline pumping performance videos that received a lot of play on MTV. Check’em out.

 

This one was on MTV non-stop. It has all of the elements of an iconic hard rock music video – band members jumping in the air, beautiful women in the crowd singing, shots of the road crew setting up the stage, rehearsal shots.

 

 

Can’t stop this feelin’, can’t stop this fight. Dancing, driving and performing in this video.

 

 

 

The circus is in town….

 

 

 

More performance shots, plenty of backstage hijinx & the crowd in the palm of their hands. Are you gettin’ it?

 

 

 

Love Bites, Love Bleeds. It’s bringin’ me to my knees!

 

 

 

It’s time to Rocket!
