Def Leppard

In 2005, Def Leppard was riding high on the success of their album 'Yeah!' which came out just a year earlier. This album was a playful collection of cover songs that paid homage to the band's rock roots while showcasing their enduring appeal. The Mohegan Sun Arena show, featuring the vibrant performance of 'Rocket,' came during their extensive tour, a testament to their resilience and energy, especially after facing significant challenges in the 1990s. Interestingly, this live rendition showcases the band's ability to energize crowds, with their signature harmonies and explosive stage presence. Notably, drummer Rick Allen, who lost his arm in a car accident years prior, continues to inspire fans with his remarkable talent, proving that passion and perseverance can truly overcome adversity.
