Def Leppard performed Two Steps Behind in Perth, Australia on 16th October 2011 for a local Telethon and video footage is available.

The Channel 7 Perth Telethon event took place at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre.

This was the band's third visit to Perth for this event and the full show the night before at nib stadium.

They had previously played the city in October 2008 at the same stadium and in July 1992 for an In The Round show at the Entertainment Centre.

They returned to Perth in November 2015 for a show at the very scenic Red Hill Auditorium/Amphitheatre.

The annual live event dates back to 1968 and raises money for children's charities. The 2011 edition raised a total of $13,473,159. Other artists who have performed at the Telethon include Elton John, Julian Lennon, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson.

Two songs, 'Undefeated' and 'Pour Some Sugar On Me', recorded at their nib Stadium show had been shown the night before during the same event.

The band returned to the broadcast a day later to perform this track in studio for a live audience. They had last played the song as a full band for a German TV show in November 2004.

Watch all the footage from this event on this YouTube Playlist including the two electric songs.

A gallery with 20 photos is available on the show page.
