Def Leppard

In March 1983, Def Leppard was riding high on the success of their album "Pyromania," which had been released just months prior. This live performance in Lyon echoed the band's explosive energy during a pivotal moment in their career, marking their rise to fame in the rock scene. "Pyromania" was a commercial powerhouse, featuring hits like "Photograph" and "Rock of Ages," solidifying their place in the hearts of metal and rock fans alike. The band’s polished sound and stunning live shows captivated audiences, and this particular show was part of their tour to support that album. Interestingly, shortly after this performance, they would face significant challenges, including a tragic car accident that impacted their drummer, Rick Allen. Yet, moments like this concert remind us of how resilient and dedicated they were to their craft, setting the stage for their legendary status in rock history.
