Def Leppard

In April 1997, Def Leppard was riding high on the success of their album 'Slang,' released in 1996. This live recording of 'Animal' captures the band during a dynamic phase, showcasing their evolution into a more experimental sound compared to their earlier work. Notably, 'Slang' marked a fresh start for the band following a brief hiatus, and it included a mix of grunge influences, making it a departure from their classic glam metal roots. At the time of this performance in Quito, Ecuador, Def Leppard was solidifying their international appeal, demonstrating their ability to connect with diverse audiences. This live show, filmed by Teleamazonas, also reflects how the band had adapted their stage presence over the years, blending their rich catalog with the newer material, creating a unique concert experience.
