Also on this day in 1999 the band played a show in Tokyo, Japan during the Euphoria tour.

The show was filmed and broadcast in full at Christmas by WOWOW TV. The only full length pro shot concert recording from the 1999/2000 tour.

Phil Collen's band Manraze played their first public show in the USA on this day in 2011 promoting their 'punkfunkrootsrock' album. They had previously only played a private show in Burbank during 2008. Sadly it turned out to be the only show they played to promote the album and the last to be played by the band.

As of 2019, Def Leppard have played 10 times on this date.
