Eagle Rock EntertainmentThis past spring, Def Leppard released a box set called London to Vegas that gathered together two concert films and albums documenting separate shows that the band recently did in the U.K. and the U.S.
Now, limited-edition standalone two-CD audio versions of the two releases, Hysteria at The O2 and Hits Vegas: Live at Planet Hollywood, are slated to hit stores on October 16.
Hysteria at The O2 was recorded at a December 2018 concert in front of a sold-out crowd at London’s O2 Arena, and features Def Leppard ripping through their 12-times-platinum 1987 album Hysteria in its entirety, as well as select other tunes.
Hits Vegas documents a show that the U.K. rockers played during their summer 2019 residency at Zappos Theater in Las Vegas, just a few months after they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The concert boasted 28 songs, among them many of the group’s hits, as well as a number of rarities. The show also included an acoustic set featuring four rarely performed tunes.
Besides the two-CD sets, which can be pre-ordered now, a limited-edition, three-LP version of Hits Vegas pressed on transparent blue vinyl will be released on December 11.
A video of Def Leppard’s acoustic performance of “Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad” from Hits Vegas has been newly posted at Eagle Rock’s YouTube channel.
