Def Leppard

In 2005, Def Leppard was riding the wave of their 'Yeah!' album, a collection of rock covers that celebrated their musical influences and showcased their enduring appeal. This live performance of 'Rock On' at Mohegan Sun Arena is a testament to their ability to electrify audiences, blending nostalgia with their signature sound. Interestingly, this was after a major resurgence in their career, following the huge success of their previous studio album, 'X,' released in 2002. By this time, the band had solidified their status as rock legends, known not just for their explosive anthems but also for their resilience, especially after overcoming the tragic loss of guitarist Steve Clark in 1991. The 2005 live performance captures the energy and enthusiasm that fans have come to expect from these rock icons, making it a memorable moment in their continued legacy.
