Def Leppard

In October 2011, Def Leppard was riding high on the wave of nostalgia with their live performance at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia, where they showcased the iconic 'Hysteria' album. This album, released in 1987, marked a pivotal moment for the band, catapulting them into global stardom with hits like 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' and 'Love Bites.' By the time of this live recording, 'Hysteria' had become a defining piece of rock history, often regarded as one of the greatest albums of all time. Interestingly, during this period, the band was celebrating their resilience and evolution, especially after overcoming significant challenges, including drummer Rick Allen's tragic car accident in 1984. It was a triumphant return to form, and performances from this era often highlighted the band's tight musical synergy and Allen's remarkable adaptation as a drummer.
