Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott was interviewed backstage by 96.3 Rock Radio at the 2010 Tartan Clef Awards in Glasgow.
You can now watch the video posted online by Detour Scotland filmed on 20th November 2010. Joe had just performed two songs ('Anthem' and 'Boston Tea Party') with SAHB and had earlier accepted the 'Services To Rock' award on behalf of Def Leppard.
Joe confirms during the interview that Def Leppard first played Scotland with AC/DC. For this reason the extra shows (supporting Slade) that were added to the 1979 Tour History section have now been removed (nine shows from October 9th to 22nd). As it turns out they only supported Slade for a few shows and did not return to Sheffield until 1980 (at the Top Rank Suite) on their own headline tour.
