Steve Clark 1987

Def Leppard guitarist Steve Clark passed away 32 years ago today and a tribute video playlist is available.

Steve sadly passed away on 8th January 1991.

The tribute video playlist posted many years ago has now been updated with a new video made by Def Leppard Tour History.

It includes audio from Steve's Yokohama, Japan 1988 'Gods Of War' intro solo (which features a rare moment of him talking to the crowd as it starts).

And the band playing the acoustic instrumental 'S. M. C.' on 24th June 1992 in Sheffield.

The playlist also features many tribute clips made by fans and some by Steve's fiancee Lorelei Shellist which include rare live footage and personal photos.

And a 25th anniversary tribute video which was shot in Paris and in Sheffield at Wisewood Cemetery.

A classic clip from the 1988 Tour Manager's video of Steve doing his "Chef Leppard" guitar solo.

Plus rare audio/video interview footage from 1987-1989 and a four part 'All About Steve Clark' special with Phil answering fan questions from 2011.

Other videos include the original MTV US news report by Kurt Loder.

It shows clips of Steve talking on 7th October 1988 in Atlanta, GA. You see a slightly extended part which was cut out of the intro of the MTV Rockumentary (where he talks about guitar lessons).
