Def Leppard

On May 9, 1997, Def Leppard delivered a unique live performance at the UCLA ZBT fraternity house, offering fans an intimate concert experience unlike their usual stadium shows. This gig came in the midst of their promotional efforts for the album 'Slang,' which was released just a year prior in 1996. 'Slang' marked a notable shift in the band's sound, incorporating more modern rock elements and showing their evolution as artists. Interestingly, the show was part of a smaller, more personal tour, showcasing the band's willingness to connect with fans on a deeper level during a time when they were navigating a changing musical landscape. It’s a fascinating snapshot of Def Leppard's journey—both a celebration of their hard rock roots and a departure into new territory.
