Def Leppard

In November 2011, Def Leppard was riding high on the success of their critically acclaimed album "Songs from the Sparkle Lounge" released in 2008. This album marked a comeback for the band, showcasing their iconic sound while integrating fresh elements. Interestingly, their live performance at the Bangor, Maine stop of the "Rock of Ages" tour in 2012 demonstrated their enduring popularity and ability to energize audiences, even years after their heyday in the '80s. The band had recently celebrated their 30th anniversary, following a tumultuous journey marked by challenges and resilience, particularly with drummer Rick Allen's career-altering accident. This live recording is a perfect testament to their unwavering spirit, reminiscent not just of their classic hits, but also of the strong camaraderie and electrifying atmosphere they create during performances.
