Def Leppard – ‘Adrenalize: The 7-Day Weekend Tour’ (1992/1993) – Tour Book

Def Leppard released their album ‘Adrenalize’ on March 31, 1992 to massive success. The album sold 4 million copies and went to #1 in the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and in Swtitzerland. It spawned 6 singles and in a time when 80’s Rock was dying out, somehow, Def Leppard still succeeded.

It was the first album without Steve Clark on guitar and would be the first tour without him as well. The tour kicked off with a club show in Dublin, Ireland on April 15, 1992 and was the first with Vivian Campbell on guitar. It was also a warm-up for the massive Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert on April 20, 1992 which would see Def Leppard perform to over 70,000 people and technically introduce the world to Vivian Campbell. It was a rip roaring success. The tour then officially started on May 19, 1992 in Madrid, Spain and would last the rest of 1992 and not end until September 1993.

Some of the opening acts were Ugly Kid Joe, Thunder and Terrorvision (who I know nothing about). It was a massive success as usual as the performed In the Round again and as you’d expect, I did catch the show on November 24, 1992 at the Omni in Atlanta, Ga.

As a tribute to the show, we will go through the Tour Book from that Tour, but I just bought this so it is not from the actual show I attended. Someone else bought and decided to sell and I happily obliged.

The program starts out the 1992 tour dates which leads me to believe this was from one of those shows from 1992…

We then get an essay on the band and this time around we get a write-up on each member of the band as well which the Hysteria Tour did not do…

Some great stage and band pictures…

Unlike the Hysteria book as well, we actually get individual pages for each band member and of course, Joe Elliott is up first…

Then we get Phil Collen…

A little break with more live shots and band shots…

Back to the band with Rick Savage…

Then Rick Allen…

And finally, let’s welcome to the world…Vivian Campbell…

And more band shots…

And to wrap it up we get the Merch page and the thank you mention to all the road crew which they have a lot of those people…

And one last shot of the back cover…

And that is another one down and one left to go. Come back next week as we jump about 10 years in to the future (from this point) for the final one in the collection (final one at this point in time)…

Joe’s hair is a new level of ridiculous in those photos.

I just saw Harrison. He was outside my house dressed up like a bear. I went out to get the mail and he tackled me then growled. After that he ran away on all fours in the costume. I’m not sure what to think of it.

Like Liked by 1 person

Yeah, it was crazy. And I’m not sure what to think of Harrison dressed as a Bear when he is half a world a way from you either.

He must have some how broke out of his police state… I mean Australia, and journeyed to America!

I caught this tour twice in the span of about 4 weeks. Winnipeg Oct 92 and Duluth in early Nov. 92. This was one of the last big arena tours as this show was spectacular. Glad I caught them doing the whole In The Round deal. Both shows I saw had no opening act. Cool tour book. Recall seeing it at the show but went with a T shirt instead. lol

Cool you got to see it twice!! Yeah, I didn’t buy the Shirt or the Book back then.

End of era at the time as all these bands scaled back

That’s a nice book. Interesting to see these books, they aren’t something I ever thought of collecting and now I’m like “damn, be nice to have those.”

That was how I was then I came across a handful at one time and thought, why not. Now I have about 10-15 books from various artists and I love it. If I see them now out at the record stores, I grab them.

It’s so cool with all the pics !

That is a cool trip down memory lane. I love Adrenalize. I find it odd to see Phil wearing a shirt. Perhaps he was told to share the camera with the others lol. Ugly kid Joe and Thunder would have been decent support acts back in the day.

I was never one to buy tour books or programs when I went to shows. Perhaps I made the wrong decision here.

A live DVD from this tour would be nice.

The third to the last picture in the write-up includes a picture in the book with the band in front of a red background, and for some reason Phil Collen looks like he’s yawning, so I don’t know what’s up with that. However, I’ve always loved that shot of the band at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert with the crowd in the background, absolutely breath-taking. Great write-up and I agree with Mike about how Def Leppard needs to release a DVD version of this tour! By the way, are those signatures real?

No, signatures are not real. They are part of the book. And yes, it does look like Phil is yawning, I thought the same thing.

Ok that’s what I thought. I was thinking, “there’s no way those signatures are legit!” Haha we both think alike!

That’s so cool! A great memento for the fans, and probably the band too!

Oh, I love them. I will keep buying them when I find them.

Right on. There was a Queen & Adam Lambert one that went through my work this week. Think it’s gone already. It was huge.

That would be a cool one. I saw them a few years ago and it was fantastic. Adam is very good.

He’d have to be to take that spot!

Your books are great mementos. When I went to shoes I tried to grab one if they weren’t sold out.

I wish I would’ve bought them at every show, but when I was younger, money was an issue.

Money is still an issue.

Ha! Yes, I guess so.

Def Leppard made arena history in 1992 with back-to-back nights and one rocket ship

Editor’s note: This is the ninth in our Arena Flashback series, stories looking back at memorable moments in Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena history. The building that opened in 1958 will be demolished in May to make way for a new $93 million expo center.

It was Mary Fabry’s first concert. Twenty-seven years later, it’s still the best one she’s ever seen.

The year was 1992, and Def Leppard couldn’t have been bigger. After the monster success of the “Pyromania” and “Hysteria” albums in the ’80s, the British rockers’ follow-up, “Adrenalize,” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in March 1992.

The supporting tour, dubbed the 7-Day Weekend Tour, was the band's first since guitarist Steve Clark died the year before of alcohol poisoning. Vivian Campbell was the new guy.

Def Leppard played Milwaukee and Madison, too, but when the December stop at Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena in Ashwaubenon sold out, a second one was added. It was the first time in the arena's history a touring act had played back-to-back nights.

The band had previous sellouts at the arena in 1983 and 1988, but this was “a historic two-night stand,” as it was referenced in the Green Bay Press-Gazette.

And Fabry was going. 

Her best friend since second grade, Penny Davis, had surprised her with a $20 ticket for the first night on Dec. 8 as an early birthday present. Fabry, Green Bay, got hooked on the band after practically wearing out her cassette of 1987’s “Hysteria” back in the days when you would rat your hair, she said.

Def Leppard played in the round on a revolving stage, and the two friends, who were in their 20s, squeezed their way up front at the general admission show.

“You could be on the floor to be closer to the band and where the action is instead of having to stay in a seat like you do now,” Fabry said.

The staging was something to see. 

“There was a rocket ship that went up and down , and it had lights on it. I’ve never seen anything like that since. Now days you might see pyrotechnics and stuff, but not the visuals like they had,” she said. “It’s still one of the neatest concerts I’ve ever seen.”

Def Leppard played 18 songs to a crowd of 7,044. Guitarist Phil Collen was serenaded by the crowd on his 35th birthday (something he recalled in a 2017 interview with the Press-Gazette before a sold-out Resch Center stop).

Between the two nights, a total of 11,083 fans got rocked. 

“Def Leppard aims for nothing more, and nothing less, than pure escapism. Their working-class attitude offers value on the dollar, which makes them a perfect fit for Green Bay,” Press-Gazette freelancer Chris DuPre wrote.

Fabry lost her best friend of 47 years to cancer in 2017. She still has her 7-Day Weekend Tour T-shirt and the fond memories that come with it.

“We were just so excited to go see the band ... I fell in love with concerts after that. It was awesome. It’s still the best that I’ve ever seen, and that’s still one of my favorite birthday presents I’ve ever gotten, even after all these years."

32 Years Ago DEF LEPPARD ADRENALIZE Tour 1992 In Dublin, Ireland (Concert Review 1)

Def Leppard played their first show with Vivian Campbell on the Adrenalize tour in Dublin, Ireland on 15th April 1992 and an archive concert review is available to read.

Kerrang! reviewed the show which took place at McGonagles Club.

This was also the only time (to date) the band played 'Die Hard The Hunter' with Vivian.

The first visit to this city since August 1987.

Kerrang! - Concert Review Quote

"This hush-hush performance in a small Dublin club - a warm-up for the '7-Day Weekend 92/93' tour - had a few surprises in store, the first of which was the arrival of Vivian Campbell on guitar. Although this gig took place before any official announcement was made, his appearance was not entirely unexpected."

This and other archive concert reviews can be found on the show pages in the Tour History.

Fan photos and reviews from any past tour can be submitted - Here
