Def Leppard

In the summer of 1988, Def Leppard was riding the high wave of their monumental success with the album 'Hysteria,' which had been released just the previous year. 'Hysteria' was a game-changer, featuring chart-topping hits like 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' and 'Love Bites.' This live performance at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA, on August 17, 1988, captures the band during their peak touring phase, showcasing their electrifying stage presence and the massive crowd’s enthusiasm. At this time, Def Leppard was solidifying their status as one of the biggest rock bands of the era, recovering triumphantly from the tragic loss of their drummer, Rick Allen's arm in a car accident just a few years prior. Their tenacity and spirit shone through, drawing fans into an unforgettable experience.
