Def Leppard Live Performance of Slang from the X Tour at Molson Amphitheatre

Venue: Cumberland County Civic Center Location: Portland, Maine, United States Date: August 18, 2003

In 2003, Def Leppard was deep into their comeback phase, having released the album "Slang" in 1996, which marked a significant shift in their sound toward a more grungy and experimental style. During the live recording at the Cumberland County Civic Center, the band was showcasing tracks from this very album, emphasizing their desire to evolve musically beyond their glam rock roots. Interestingly, the band's resilience is evident, especially considering their journey through personal tragedies and changes in the music landscape. This live performance highlights not only their enduring appeal but also the strong connection they maintained with fans during the X Tour, reinforcing that Def Leppard was still going strong nearly three decades into their career.
