Def Leppard

The live recording from the Shoreline Amphitheater on August 17, 1988, took place during Def Leppard's Hysteria Tour, promoting their massively successful album "Hysteria," which was released in 1987. This album marked a significant phase in the band's career, representing their return to commercial prominence after a tumultuous period that included the tragic car accident of drummer Rick Allen and the death of guitarist Steve Clark. "Hysteria" spawned several hit singles, solidifying Def Leppard's status as a leading band in the rock genre. The tour associated with this album was one of the longest and highest-grossing of its time, showcasing their electrifying live performances and elaborate stage setups. The reference to a recording session as “the only one without counting Denver 88” indicates the significance of this performance, which holds historical value for fans and collectors alike.
