I saw this thread this morning, headed out into town (Winchester) and got chatting to a lady friend who must be mates with your guitarist's Mum! Small world. Congrats and best wishes! :)

So I have put together a video with footage from the O2 Arena.
I basically walked around all day with my sony handycam and filmed anything and everything!
I got one of our guitar techs to record us soundchecking and then the show from the side of stage.

To put into words the feelings and emotions that i felt that day would take forever, but it was an AMAZING day!
The only bad thing I could say was that none of us got to meet John or the guys to say thankyou!
We tried but we needed 2 extra passes to even get near his dressing room!!
Besides he arrived 5mins before his soundcheck and left 5mins after their set!

Here is the video,
it also features a cover I recorded (I did everything apart from the solo and vocals)
Hope you like Def Leppard

Wow that's a great vid to give a feel for your side of the event.

Also your band looked like a "big gig" band, especially the guitarist. Great stuff!
