Def Leppard

In 2005, Def Leppard was riding the wave of their album 'Yeah!', which was released that same year. This album was quite a shift for the band, as it featured a collection of cover songs that celebrated their rock influences, demonstrating their ability to evolve while paying homage to those who came before them. The live performance on The TODAY Show not only showcased their distinct sound but also highlighted their resilience and enduring popularity in the rock scene, even decades after their debut. Interestingly, this performance came just after their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, marking a significant milestone in their career. It was a moment where nostalgia and triumph met, bringing both old fans and new listeners together at Rockefeller Plaza.
