Def Leppard

In 2011, Def Leppard was riding a wave of renewed popularity, fueled by their album 'Songs from the Sparkle Lounge,' released in 2008. This live performance at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater was part of a summer tour, where they co-headlined with Heart, showcasing their enduring appeal and electrifying stage presence. It's fascinating to note that despite various challenges, including Rick Allen's life-changing accident, the band managed to create a sound that resonated with both loyal fans and new audiences. Their performance of 'Rock of Ages' captured their classic blend of hard rock and melodic hooks, illustrating why Def Leppard is often hailed as one of the icons of the '80s rock scene. The energy in the venue that night was palpable, proving that the band's legacy was far from over.
