Def Leppard

In 2009, Def Leppard delivered a powerhouse performance at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Charlotte, captured in the live recording 'Hysteria live 2009.' Fresh off the massive success of their 1987 album 'Hysteria,' which had solidified their place in rock history, the band was riding high on their legacy. By this time, they had not just made hits; they'd pioneered a sound that fused hard rock with memorable melodies. Notably, this show was part of their tour celebrating their classic album, which included iconic tracks like 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' and 'Love Bites.' Interestingly, despite lineup changes and challenges, including the tragic loss of drummer Rick Allen's arm in a car accident, the band exemplified resilience, continuing to captivate audiences with their electric performances, proving that their spirit remained unbroken throughout their journey.
