Def Leppard

During the live recording at Palais de Beaulieu on December 5, 1981, Def Leppard was riding the wave of their burgeoning fame, fueled by their album 'High 'n' Dry,' which had been released earlier that year. This album marked a pivotal moment for the band, showcasing their hard rock sound and producing the beloved hit 'Bringin' On the Heartbreak.' The energy of the concert reflects the band's ambition and determination, not only to entertain but to solidify their place in rock history. Interestingly, this show occurred just before they entered a deeper level of success with 'Pyromania,' which would catapult them into the mainstream. The Lausanne concert is a snapshot of a band on the cusp of greatness, full of raw talent and vibrant enthusiasm.
