Def Leppard/Sweden 03.05.1988 Complete

DEF LEPPARD’s “HYSTERIA Tour” produced a signature album that became a symbol of the band and took the world by storm. Two new masterpieces, offering a superb experience right in the middle of the action, have been released simultaneously! This is the second of two consecutive releases. It’s a superb audience recording of the “March 5, 1988 Gothenburg performance.” These two consecutive releases are complete companion pieces. Not only are they collections by the same recording artist, but the show itself is also recent. They could be considered the Nordic equivalent of “Crazy S.”‘s British recording series “LEICESTER 1987” and “SHEFFIELD 1987 2ND NIGHT.” Of course, the timing is completely different from the “Crazy S.” collection. To understand this, let’s first take a look back at the glorious “HYSTERIA Tour” as a whole. 1987 June 24th-28th: ​​Netherlands (3 shows) (HYSTERIA released August 3rd) August 27th-September 17th: UK (17 shows) ← *SHEFFIELD 1987 and others October 1st-December 31st: North America #1a (61 shows) 1988 January 2nd-February 19th: North America #1b (25 shows) ← *Official footage and others March 1st-April 22nd: Europe (37 shows) ←★Here★ May 17th-24th: Japan (5 shows) ←*YOKOHAMA 1988 and others May 27th-October 27th: North America #2 (88 shows)This is DEF LEPPARD in 1987/1988. While the “Crazy S.” collection was recorded during the “UK” leg immediately after the album’s release, this two-part Swedish album was released after the lengthy “North America #1” experience. It was part of the “Europe” leg. Looking closely at this “Europe” Lech, it’s divided into three parts: Northern Europe → Central/Southern Europe → UK. Let’s focus on the dates further. “Europe” Details: March 1st + 2nd: Gothenburg (2 performances) * March 4th “STOCKHOLM 1988” * March 5th: Gothenburg performance ←★This work★ * March 7th + 8th: Oslo (2 performances) * March 10th: Copenhagen performance * March 11th – April 8th: Central/Southern Europe (20 performances) * April 10th – 22nd: UK (10 performances) A ​​new, ultra-clear masterpiece with soundboard-quality sound. The leg begins with three Gothenburg performances, but this is a stepping stone. The recording in between was the simultaneously released “STOCKHOLM 1988,” and this one was released the following day. This work is a super-famous recording that sounds like a soundboard. Like its sister work, “STOCKHOLM 1988,” this is a debut sound source excavated from the much-talked-about “KK Collection.” This work, however, offers even greater air transparency and crystal clear clarity. Of course, being sparse or distant is pointless, but that’s not a concern with this work. The powerful core is dense and close to the on-screen, and the details are ultra-clear, even down to the finest details. Furthermore, the vividness is permeated into the deep bass, so it doesn’t feel sparse. While the deep bass doesn’t particularly pop out (at all), the bass beautifully captures every single attack note, allowing you to enjoy it without distortion until the very moment it fades away. The groove created by the succession of these individual notes is also rich. The cheers further emphasize the soundboard-like feel. Between songs, there’s a grand excitement, but it’s strangely distant, with no surrounding noise. It spreads like a vast landscape, with no close-up cries, just a spectacle. The clear soundboard feel so far rivals—or perhaps even surpasses—the work of “Crazy S.” The melody’s holy land: the majesty of “HYSTERIA,” which also conquered Scandinavia. Such crystal sound depicts a full show, unique to the middle of the tour. While it’s certainly the same as the previous day’s “STOCKHOLM 1988,” it’s different from the “Crazy S.” collection from six months ago. Finally, let’s organize it by comparison. Hysteria (5 songs), Women, Hysteria (★), Gods Of War, Animal, Pour Some Sugar On Me, Others (10 songs), Fiery Target: Stagefright, Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop), Too Late For Love, Die Hard The Hunter, Foolin’, Rock Of Ages, Photograph, Others: Bringin’ On The Heartbreak, Let It Go, Travelin’ Band Medley (★) *Note: ★ indicates songs not heard on the “Crazy S.” collection masterpieces “LEICESTER 1987” and “SHEFFIELD 1987 2ND NIGHT.” “Hysteria” was performed on alternate days during the “UK” leg, but the “Travelin’ Band Medley” returned midway through “North America #1.” Even more impressive than the set was the awe-inspiring, dignified performance that seemed to bask in the monumental success of the century. Seven months after the album’s release, the new songs have penetrated both the band and the audience. There’s nothing left to prove; simply starting to play elicits joy. This full show confirms the success of this album, not just in the UK or the US, but in Scandinavia as well. This superb live album rivals the collection of the master “Crazy S.” The much-talked-about “KK Collection” is truly amazing… The birth of a new masterpiece that promises to be a joyful discovery. This is a superb audience recording from “Gothenburg, March 5, 1988 (3rd performance).” This is the first sound source unearthed from the much-talked-about “KK Collection,” a masterpiece that sounds like a soundboard. The crystal-clear, ethereal atmosphere is superb, and the deep bass is dense enough to prevent any sparseness. This is a stunning new masterpiece that rivals “Crazy S.”‘s British recording series, such as “LEICESTER 1987” and “SHEFFIELD 1987 2ND NIGHT.” Scandinavium, Gothenburg, Sweden 5th March 1988 TRULY PERFECT SOUND Disc:1 (53:54) 1.
