Def Leppard played a storytellers concert on the Hysteria On The High Seas cruise and footage of the whole show is available.
The first concert by the band on the cruise took place on 22nd January in the MSC Divina's Pantheon Theatre.
It was hosted by DJ Eddie Trunk and featured the band playing a full David Bowie song as a tribute. Snippets of three other songs were played along with a Joe Elliott interview and Q And A session with fans.
Chele has submitted another great video showing the sending off greeting by the band on the 21st January before the ship left from Miami. Over 20 fan videos are now available which show all of the Storytellers concert.

Cruise Send Off Speech - Joe Elliott/Phil Collen
Joe - "Um hello. Wow didn't expect to see so many people actually. So here we go four days out at sea. So prepare yourselves OK. Anything could happen and probably will. Thanks for joining us. This is an amazing start to what should be a fantastic 96 hours. So thank you."
Phil - "How you guys doing out there?. So when do we play?. You're all gonna be there right tomorrow, yeah?. Alright. Well this is the first time we've ever been on a boat. So be really good. Make lots of noise. Yo. have fun and be gentle with us. See ya later."
22nd January Acoustic Show - Joe Elliott Intro Speech
"Anyway listen I don't like to make excuses but about two days ago I woke up with no voice. Decided half of you lot have already left so you're on your way here. You don't cancel. You just don't. You take a risk. Hope it comes back. Still hoping. But if you lot sing instead of me it'll actually sound pretty good."
"So anyway - we're gonna play a Bowie song in honour of David Bowie. Because a) we're all fans and also as some of you may already know. The first song that Def Leppard ever played in the Spoon Factory back in Sheffield in 1977 was Suffragette City by David Bowie. Me and Phil had a side project called Cybernauts. Where we did loads of Bowie stuff. So it's not a fly-by-night relationship with that man. It's a lifelong commitment. Little bit like hopefully what we've got with you guys. We're gonna play the title track from his 1972 epic album Ziggy Stardust."
