Def Leppard

In 1996, Def Leppard was riding high on their successful album 'Slang,' which had been released just a year earlier, showcasing a refreshing direction for the band with a more modern rock sound. This live performance of 'Bringin' On The Heartbreak' on August 10, 1996, at Viacom International Studios in Miami captures the band in a dynamic phase, blending classic hits with their newer material. Interestingly, 'Slang' marked a significant shift for Def Leppard, as they sought to connect with a younger audience during the grunge era. Despite the changing musical landscape, the band's electrifying stage presence remained undiminished, as evidenced by the energy in this performance. This period was crucial, as it reinforced their resilience and ability to evolve while still honoring their hard rock roots.
