Def Leppard

In 2003, during the X Tour, Def Leppard delivered a powerful live rendition of 'Love Bites,' showcasing their timeless appeal. This performance, at the Cumberland County Civic Center in Portland, was from a pivotal era as it followed their 2002 album 'X.' Released to mixed reviews, 'X' marked a shift in their sound, incorporating more modern influences. Interestingly, 'Love Bites' itself hails from the iconic 'Hysteria' album, which paved the way for their superstardom in the late '80s. This contrast between the older classic hits and newer materials highlights the band's ability to bridge generations of rock fans. With an unwavering passion for live performances, each show felt like a celebration, and this one was no exception. Fans were likely reliving the nostalgia while embracing the band's evolution.
