The White Lightning

The White Lightning

I am a total music junkie, as well as a major Def Leppard fan. I like to share these moments with other fans as this community stretches practically all over the world.

With live recorded music I just see it as a moment in time that is saved and we're able to travel back to that day if we choose to do so. There's always this sense or idea that people wish they could just travel back in time, or be a part of the old rock and metal scene back in the day. Here I get to do that in a sense! I always get a contact high from listening to a show with the audience commentary, the concert atmosphere, onstage banter, and just the punctual playing of the music.

I'm not just a Def Leppard fan, but I have to say with how much music in a band one can enjoy I enjoy the most music from Def Leppard. That and my father got me interested when I was very young as he is a serious fan as well. Either way I love sharing live music for people to hear. Keep it rocking!

    Awesome! Why haven’t you ever considered recording with your phone some footage that way you can put the audio over the video?

  • @TheWhiteLightning
    @TheWhiteLightning13 күн бұрын

    I'm not entirely sure tbh. My phone doesn't take the greatest videos, nor do I have a viable second device option for video. We were a little distance off from the stage in St. Louis so anything would have looked like ants running around. You've planted a seed though and I'll have to see about doing so next time!

    Probably one of the best sounding uploads so far. Is it me or does Rick's kit sound kinda like his earlier electric kits?

  • @TheWhiteLightning
    @TheWhiteLightning14 күн бұрын

    I think the sound is in the same vein as his older kits/sound, but more of a modern take. Each tour it always sounds better. The term better, or even sounds fresh comes to my mind. With it being electronic though I feel across all the possible ways to record and capture the show it never quite sounds the same twice on any given show.

    We're going to try something.. Please make your way to the front page of the channel and see if you can click/follow the Mega link to my Def Leppard Shows. This is the list that I mostly share with folks when trading. From this archive I also upload shows/tracks. By all means folks can make requests for performances to upload, but the KZread aspect of my life these days is quite limited. More and more I'm also hesitant to upload full show performances due to copyright strikes. The live shows that get uploaded are thought out first by the source, type of show, as well if it would be removed from YT. Hope this helps though! - Nick

    It's funny to me how the very first two songs performed off Hysteria became the LEAST two performed overall. It's like the inverse of Bringin on the heartbreak being the last performed off high and dry but becoming the most performed.

    I would agree with you! This would be the most vocal challenging album for Joe. So far with the Pyro rarities they've added Joe is holding his own. I'm not sure how something like 'Stagefright' would go down today though. Has not been performed since 2013.
