Luciana's Story

"Well, letīs see. There I was, at a Def Leppard show on April 24, 1997, in the front row...I couldnīt believe it. When they hit the stage I went nuts! The show was amazing, the opening song was "Rock Rock Till You Drop." At some point Rick did a drum solo! The crowd was roaring so much I think it was the highlight of the show.

The next day I went to the hotel. The first one I saw coming out of the elevator was Joe. That was about 4 pm and had been there since 11am! He just signed my CD, took a picture and left because he was hungry.

Then I saw Rick leaving the hotel, I ran after him, almost hit the waiter, but he walks too fast! I lost him. When he came back, there were a few more fans there. So he told us he went to the mall to buy some jewelry for Stacy. But if I remember well, he didnīt find anything that fit. She was pregnant at the time. Then he went to his room and came back around 7pm to check out.

Thatīs when I met all of them. Vivian gave me a guitar pick. We told all of them how much we loved them and how much we had enjoyed the show. We also told them we hoped they came back some day, but I donīt think thatīs gonna happen...

Rick didnīt talk much, he was always going from one place to another. So we wished them luck and said goodbye. Oh, and I gave Vivian a big hug, hehehe. There are some details I might have forgotten, but basically that was it. I still have the ticket and half a setlist! A friend of mine asked one of the roadies if he could give us the set, but he tore it when he pulled it off. I love to share my stories. Hope you enjoyed it!"
