Def Leppard

In 2006, Def Leppard was riding high on a resurgence in their career, marked by the release of their album 'Yeah!' in 2006, which featured a collection of cover songs. This set a lively stage for their performance of '20th Century Boy' at the Sweden Rock Fest that same year, showcasing their ability to blend classic rock influences with their unique style. Fun fact: the band's guitarist, Phil Collen, was pivotal during this time, not just for his guitar prowess but also for his infectious energy on stage. The atmosphere of the event, coupled with the band's solid reputation for high-energy performances, made this rendition memorable. Plus, with their history of overcoming challenges—like drummer Rick Allen's car accident in 1984—every live show carried an air of triumph, reminding audiences not just of the music, but of the journey behind it.
