Def Leppard Live in Montreal Performing 'Animal' from the Slang Tour

Date: November 30, 1995

In the live recording of "Def Leppard Animal" from November 30, 1995, the band was deep into their 'Slang' tour, promoting their album of the same name, which was released in May 1996. This album marked a significant shift for Def Leppard, incorporating a grunge influence that reflected the changing tides of rock music during the '90s. Interestingly, 'Slang' was notable for its approach to songwriting and production, as the band sought to reinvent their sound while staying true to their roots. This era was also pivotal for the band due to the tragic loss of guitarist Steve Clark in 1991, which cast a long shadow over their music. The concert captures the band's raw energy and resilience, showcasing their ability to engage fans even as they navigated personal and professional challenges.
