Def Leppard

When Def Leppard took the stage at the Beacon Theater on April 10, 2003, they were riding the wave of their then-latest album, 'X,' which had dropped a year earlier. This album marked a notable evolution in their sound, incorporating more pop and modern rock elements, showcasing their willingness to adapt while maintaining that classic Def Leppard flair. An interesting tidbit about this live performance is that it occurred during the 'X' tour, a venture that not only highlighted fan favorites like 'Rock Rock Till' You Drop' but also reflected the band's incredible resilience following challenges, including drummer Rick Allen's life-altering accident years prior. The energy was palpable that night in New York, illustrating their enduring appeal, meant to rock hard and showcase their evolution. The show truly captured the spirit of a band unyielding in their craft.
