Def Leppard - BBC Radio 2 Live in the Park, Hylands Park, Chelmsford, Britain, 9-7-2025

Here's the last of the six albums that I'm posting from the 2025 BBC Radio 2 Live in the Park Festival. For the second and final night of the festival, the headliner was Def Leppard. As a result, their set was significantly longer than most of the other sets from the festival.

I already posted another Def Leppard concert, their VH-1 Storytellers performance in 1999, which you can find here:

So I don't have a lot to say about them. Clearly, by 2025, their peak commercial era was far behind them. They haven't had a Gold studio album since 1999. But they've had the same line-up since 1992, and they show in this concert that they can still rock.

This music here is unreleased, and the sound quality is excellent. 

This album is an hour and 16 minutes.

Frankly, by 2025, the band sounds a lot better than they look. So I figured this was a good occasion to show how large the crowd at the festival was. That's the band's lead singer Joe Elliott looking out over the crowd.
