Def Leppard

In August 1988, Def Leppard was riding high on the success of their chart-topping album 'Hysteria,' which had been released just a year prior, in 1987. This album, featuring hits like 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' and 'Animal,' marked a pivotal moment in the band's career, catapulting them into the rock stratosphere. The live performance of 'Bringin' on the Heartbreak' at the Shoreline Amphitheatre took place during their massive Hysteria world tour. Interestingly, this concert exemplified not just the band's musical prowess but also their ability to connect with fans – a connection solidified by the incredible energy in the arena. With their mix of melodic hooks and hard-hitting riffs, Def Leppard was not just a band; they were a phenomenon, and this live recording captures an electrifying moment in time that defined an era of rock music.
