Def Leppard Photos

Nearing the end of a summer-long-sold-out tour, the explosive and legendary blend of hard rock and pop magic that is Def Leppard continued to endure and inspire its audiences at the San Manuel Amphitheatre in San Bernardino. With hooks as big as bulldozers on the definitive hard rock anthems such as "Foolin'", "Rock of Ages" and "Photograph" from the blockbuster Pyromania to the acoustic/electric version of the classic "Bringin' on the Heartbreak" the group continued to stretch itself. With the tandem two-guitar attack of Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell, bassist Rick Savage and extraordinary abilities at the drum kit from Rick Allen, the band pushed the sonic envelope, while a mind-warping walk down "Heavy Metal Lane" displayed early photos of the band joined by an over the top image and light show that didn’t require a single explosion to amaze and enthrall. As they closed the show with a raucous extended-jam ending of "Let's Get Rocked," Def Leppard displayed no signs of stopping—or slowing down for that matter.— A.J.
