Rock History

2000 – Many fans leave a Def Leppard concert at the Oregon State Fair disappointed. The band was accused of playing too quietly, in order to obey local noise ordinances. The mighty Lep offer their fans a refund. Joe Elliott explains, “Because of some law passed after a particularly loud MC Hammer gig, we were told to turn down our PA system. But we’ve never pulled out of a show in over 20 years, so we weren’t about to start now.”
