Recorded by me on the opening day of the Download Festival of 2011.

I positioned myself practically underneath one of the speaker stacks, so despite it raining and being windy I think the recording came out quite well.

The mix is a little muddy on the opening 3 or 4 tracks I think, but they seemed to get it sorted after that. Typically towards the end of the set, as with many Lep shows, the low end seems to be more prominent.

Its great to see a new track open the show, which I thought worked well. Also nice to see Let it Go and especially Wasted back in the set.

Bringin on the Heartbreak is the acoustic / electric version, whilst Rocket is the extended version. 

Joe sounds a little rough at this gig, listening to the Download pre-show interviews he sounded hoarse, maybe a bad throat or a few too many beers at the Kerrang awards the night before maybe?

Artwork is included in the folders.

This is the first Leppard master I've ever uploaded so enjoy, but also please respect my wishes by not converting or distributing in a lossy format.
