28 Years Ago DEF LEPPARD Perform HEAVEN IS On GOING LIVE

Def Leppard performed a playback version of Heaven Is on UK TV on 23rd January 1993 with video footage available.

The band appeared on the BBC for the second time in two days performing a full playback version of 'Heaven Is' on the 23rd January edition of Saturday morning show 'Going Live!'.

Joe and Rick were also interviewed in a 9 minute segment at the end. Although the music and vocals were playback this show was broadcast live.

A short segment with Rick is shown at the start along with a fact profile.

You may recognise one of the questions that was used in 'Visualize' - about the strangest concert they've ever played.

Joe later recalled "making an idiot of himself" on this show. Probably a reference to his "phone" and "camera" moments which you'll spot during the interview.

Presented by Philip Schofield along with Sarah Greene and featuring a comedy moment with Rick Allen and 'Dogs Body' the dog at the start.

Phil Collen once again used his white Gibson SG guitar. The band performed a live acoustic session later that day on BBC Radio 2 and appeared as part of Def Leppard Sunday on MTV Europe the day after (yes, they really were the good old days!).
