Def Leppard performed on UK music show The Roxy in mid 1987 and rare footage is available.
The 'Animal' performance dates from late July 1987 and was the first TV performance following Rick Allen's 1984 car crash.
'PSSOM' dates from mid September just after the single had been released and in the middle of the UK Hysteria tour. This was also the first time Joe's 'Women Of Doom' T-shirt had been seen on TV. A shirt he would use on tour from October 1987 to February 1988 and of course captured in the live videos from the tour.
Both songs are slightly edited. 'Animal' does not feature the false ending and they cut away from 'PSSOM' before the end.
Many UK fans including me will remember these performances fondly as they were our first exposure to the band along with video clips on shows like No Limits (BBC 2) and The Chart Show (Channel 4).
Watch both songs as posted on YT by Bille. A second version of 'Animal' is also included uploaded a while back by ClarkOVision.
