Def Leppard

In the realm of rock, Def Leppard was riding high during the mid-1980s when they performed 'Travelin' Band' live in Mannheim on November 30, 1985. This performance was part of their iconic 'Monsters of Rock' tour, which was a significant milestone for the band, happening just as they were gaining massive traction from their landmark album 'Hysteria,' released in 1987. Interestingly, at this time, Def Leppard was also recovering from the tragic loss of their drummer, Rick Allen, who had a life-altering accident in 1984. Remarkably, he made a comeback, showcasing his resilience and the band's unwavering spirit during their live shows. This live recording captures that raw energy and marks a pivotal moment for a band about to skyrocket into rock royalty.
