Def Leppard

In August 2003, Def Leppard graced the Cumberland County Civic Center in Portland, showcasing their classic hit 'Let It Go' during their X Tour. By this time, the band had just released their album 'X' in 2002, which was a significant evolution in their sound, incorporating a more modern rock vibe. Interestingly, 'X' marked a shift towards a more polished production while still retaining the band’s hard rock roots. The performance captured in this video highlights their ability to blend nostalgia with new material, drawing fans from various eras. With the enduring charisma of lead vocalist Joe Elliott and the band’s legendary live energy, it’s no wonder this concert, among many others, solidified their reputation as rock icons. Isn't it fascinating how they manage to captivate audiences decades into their career?
