![]() Well Ive been lying awake all night just thinking of you / But a bottle of whiskey lies. My initial thinking regarding this single was that I didn’t need it both songs are available on On Through the Night. Wasted (Live At The LA Forum, USA / 1983) song by Def Leppard now on JioSaavn. Then I found out that these single versions of “Wasted” and “Hello America” are earlier, non-album recordings. Rick Allen was in the band by this time but On Through the Night had yet to be recorded. This immediately put the single on my radar as a must-have. On Through the Night was produced by Tom Allom (Judas Priest) but before settling on him, Leppard tried out Nick Tauber due to his history with Thin Lizzy. (He also produced Sheer Greed by Girl, the band that featured future Leppard alumnus Phil Collen.) Tauber worked on the earlier, folksier Lizzy, not the later version of the band that rocked out such classics as “Jailbreak” and “Bad Reputation”. The story goes that the record label was unhappy with Nick Tauber’s results and put a halt to his work on the album. He had finished four songs: These two, plus “Rock Brigade”, and “Glad I’m Alive” which both remain unreleased. The label released “Wasted” as a single while recruiting Tom Allom to start over on the album. “Wasted” boasts one of Leppard’s all time greatest riffs, if not the greatest.

This earlier version isn’t as adrenalized (pardon the pun) as the later album version, but there’s otherwise nothing wrong with it. def leppard - Wasted lyrics translated into spanish. I think Allom’s album version is safely still the definitive one. Wasted - def leppard translated into spanish Idioma traduccin. The two tracks are not that dissimilar, just Allom’s more in tune with the current heavy metal sounds. ![]() The second 7' single by Def Leppard was released in November 1979. The B-side, “Hello America”, would become a single in its own right the following year, in its guise as an Allom track. 'Wasted' was the first seven inch single to feature a picture cover and artwork. The front cover had live shots by a young Ross Halfin from Hammersmith Odeon 1979 whilst supporting Sammy Hagar - their first London show. The song reached number 61 in the UK charts. This might be one that I prefer in its Tauber version. Allom added a synthesizer riff to the chorus of “Hello America” that I always felt dated the tune. While this version is not as manic or electrified, it does have the bare unadorned chorus. ![]() It’s kind of funny to hear how shaky Joe Elliott’s voice was back then. He grew into a powerful screamer by the High ‘n’ Dry album, which is my favourite period of Def Leppard. They were all young back then, but Joe was clearly not as confident nor in his control of his voice in 1979. Still, as a purchase, as a single, as a collectible, I am very happy with this. ![]() My only regret is that I didn’t find one with a picture sleeve.SAT 14th Jun 1980 - Arena, Milwaukee, WI, USA USA. Show Notes - By now the band were opening for Ted Nugent and Scorpions in large arenas an therefore playing a such shorter set. The recording of this gig has the very first known taping of 'Medicine Man' - which later turned into 'Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop)' on the Pyromania album and at that time unreleased. This recording exists in two forms, a much copied version and a new master recording featuring all three sets. The recording of Lep's set starts during the guitar solo of 'It Don't Matter' which may not have been the first song played.Īll my uploads are exactly as the master.RAW!
