According to their website, the English rockers will be providing exclusive commentary throughout the day on other concert movies, including the TV premiere of Cheap Trick at Budokan The 35th Anniversary Performance Live From the El Rey, along with concert films from Kiss, Bon Jovi, the New York Dolls and Sammy Hagar and Friends.
Def Leppard: Viva! Hysteria features a full performance of the bands 12-times platinum 1987 album Hysteria, and its AXS premiere will include behind-the-scenes insight from the musicians.
I think its the best live performance weve ever captured, and better than most other bands, guitarist Phil Collen told Rolling Stone this fall. We sounded 20 years younger [with] an aggression that for some reason we havent had on previous live recordings. It had a punk ethos.
A Day of Hysteria will begin at 8 p.m. EST on December 29th.
