Def Leppard

In 2011, Def Leppard was riding a wave of nostalgia as they celebrated the anniversary of their iconic album 'Hysteria,' released back in 1987. This live performance at the White River Amphitheatre in Auburn, Washington, showcased their enduring appeal, delivering fan-favorites like 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' with the same energy that captured audiences decades prior. The band had also released 'Songs from the Sparkle Lounge' in 2008, but by 2011, they were heavily leaning into the legacy of 'Hysteria,' reminding fans why they fell in love with their melodic rock sound in the first place. Interestingly, this era marked a resurgence for the band, coming off a successful tour and highlighting their ability to blend classic hits with newer material, a testament to their evolution while keeping loyal fans deeply engaged.
