Def Leppard played a show in Belfast, Northern Ireland on 29th August 1987 and on stage quotes by Joe Elliott are available to read.
This was the third show of the Hysteria tour and the second night at the Ulster Hall. It was also the night the Joe jumped off the drum riser and injured his back. The lively crowd (including a few idiots) also made this a very memorable show for the band as heard in the audience recording that exists.
Joe talked on stage more at this show than perhaps any other in the band's history. See the show page to read all of them and try to work out which guitar player's strings Joe hoped would "f**king break".
Joe Elliott Belfast 1987 - On Stage Quote
"We've got a couple of morons down here. That are gobbing on us. I'd just like to say that spitting at a band is about as mature as shitting in your nappy. If you're stood at the side of anybody that's spitting on us give 'em a good kicking in the bollocks will ya. 'Cause they're probably a Terence Trent Darby fan anyway. So that's a little bit of a cry for help from the band. Here's a song which is a cry for help off the last album. I said this last night it actually it fits a lot of circumstances, it could be London, it could be Belfast, it could be New York, this is Billy's Got a Gun."
