The Friday Rock Show was a radio show in the United Kingdom that was broadcast on BBC Radio 1 from 10pm to midnight on Friday nights from Nov. 1978 to 1993. It was hosted by Tommy Vance. Ostensibly for rock , it was most closely associated with heavy metal. In the early 1980s it was the only national outlet for Metal, and Vance's enthusiasm for the bands and his rapport with fans made the show mandatory for rockers.
That being said this set by Def Leppard is not like a peel session and it also is before Def met Robert John "Mutt" Lange this is not polished like that. This is when they were writing On Through The Night yes they had an album before Pyromania and even before High n Dry yes Im serious they really did. Read this....
Rick Savage, Tony Kenning, and Pete Willis, all students at Tapton School in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, formed a band called Atomic Mass in 1977. The band originally consisted of Willis on guitar, Savage on bass (after originally playing guitar), and Kenning on drums. Only 18 at the time, Joe Elliott tried out for the band as a guitarist he was better suited to be the lead singer. Their first ever gig was in the dining hall in A Block in Westfield School in Mosborough, Sheffield.
