Anniversary Release Notes:
In my opinion, the 2013 Vegas residency is still the highlight of Def Leppard's career, at least in the last 20 years. Inspired performances, full performance of their biggest album, great setlists of rare tracks, and a fun little gimmick of opening for themselves as "Ded Flatbird." Thankfully the stars aligned and we were able to cover the entire residency in high quality audio. At the one year mark, we had released all the audience recordings, which vary widely in sound quality. There was also a compilation release of the IEM mixed stuff with tracks throughout the run. However, as we reached the ten year mark, it seemed like a good opportunity to go back to remix and release all the shows. It's an IEM heavy mix in wide stereo, with some audience recording layered in. Enjoy!

Show #7 Notes:
Sound quality and mix on this show is similar to all of the other shows (except opening night). On the show itself, the band is clearly settling into the groove of the residency. Ded Flatbird set is a bit more heavy on popular songs as opposed to deeper cuts, but you still get some rarities like C'mon C'mon. Joe is struggling a bit with a flu bug during this show.

As always, encouraging people to get into taping and mixing. Just take the craft seriously and it will reward you many times over. There's no point in complaining about missing recordings or subpar quality if you're not contributing--pushing 1's and 0's around on the internet is no comparison for taping.

IEM recordings are not for everyone. If not they're not your thing, either sonically or ethically, well at least you didn't spend any money on this.

Similarly, I'm mixing primarily for my ears. This is what sounds best to me. This may not sound best to you. That's a fair statement. I'm open to honest criticism (although you should have caught me when I was working on the mix!), but pointless complaining is unappreciated (naturally). Let's play nice.

Plus, if you don't like it, go hunt down the audience recordings released years ago.

Please don't sell this recording in any way - no cash for blanks, 2:1s, or any other form of "getting paid for your time". Just share it freely.

Please don't convert to mp3, then back to wave, and then trade it around. This stuff is too easy to find on torrents now.

Feel free to remaster/remix this recording. Just keep it to your own computer and iPod.

Also, please don't torrent or share on other sites without at least dropping me a line and asking. I may want to just torrent/share it there myself. This means you, guitar101!

Please ask (and wait for permission!) before putting it into any matrix + video production. If you ask nicely for a quality high-res video project, I will likely say “yes”. If you put it on YouTube or cell phone video production without asking, I will send my cats from hell to chew your computer cables.

Enjoy y'all!
