Def Leppard

In the fall of 1999, Def Leppard was riding high on the success of their latest album, "Euphoria," which had been released earlier that same year in July. This album marked a significant comeback for the band, following a hiatus in the mid-'90s. Fans were eagerly awaiting to hear hits like "Promises" and "When Love & Hate Collide," which are showcased in the Tokyo concert featured in this live recording. Interestingly, this tour showcased the band's evolution, marrying classic rock roots with a fresher sound that appealed to both long-time followers and newer audiences alike. The Tokyo gig was part of a wider effort to re-establish their presence in the rock scene, particularly in Japan, where they enjoyed a passionate fanbase. This performance at the Kokusai Forum not only encapsulated their return but also solidified their legacy in rock history.
