1986 年

To break cabin-fever of recording, the band plan to eight shows at the
European Monsters Of Rock tour during the summer.  As insurance, they bring
Status Quo's Jeff Rich to supplement Rick Allen's drums. During the warm-up
mini tour of Ireland, when Rich accidentally misses a gig, the rest of the
band realize that Rick can drum alone.
為了擺脫在錄音室的煩悶，樂隊在夏天安排了八場在 Monsters of Rock 的表演。
而為了保險起見，他們找了 Status Quo 的鼓手 Jeff Rich 來支援 Rick Allen。
在愛爾蘭舉辦的迷你演唱會做暖身時，Rich 意外地漏了一場表演，這時樂隊成員
才知道其實只要 Rick 自己來就行了。

On August 16, they perform at Castle Donington, the first Monsters Of Rock
show. In stark contrast to their Reading debacle, the show is a triumph and
the crowd take them to their hearts. The final Monsters Of Rock show, taking
place August 31 in Mannheim, Germany, is marked by a torrential downpour that
lasts exactly the duration of Def Leppard's set.
八月 16 日，樂隊在 Castle Donington 開始了第一場 Monsters of Rock 演出。
和之前在 Reading 的演出相較之下，這場表演非常成功，並且擄獲無數樂迷的心。
最後一場 Monsters of Rock 表演是在八月 31 日於德國曼海姆舉行，在 Def
Leppard 演唱的同時也下著一場豪雨。


1987 年

In January, the recordings of the fourth album are finished.
一月，第四張專輯完成錄製。

In February, another album's worth of tracks are recorded - mostly live in
the studio, to be used for B-sides. After kicking off the world tour in the
UK on August, HYSTERIA is released. Seven out of the twelve tracks are
released as singles: "Women", "Animal", "Pour Some Sugar On Me", "Love
Bites", "Armageddon It", "Hysteria" and "Rocket".  The album goes on to sell
16 million copies (including 12 million in the US alone). At last the band
are stars in their home country. During their U.S. tours, the band play "in
the round" on a stage located in the center of arenas.
二月，樂隊又錄了多到可以再發一張專輯的歌曲－它們大部分是在錄音室的現場
演出，用於在發行 B-side 時使用。Def Leppard 在八月從英國開始世界巡迴，
同時也發行了新專輯「Hysteria」。十二首歌曲中有七首歌「Women」、「Animal」、
「Pour Some Sugar On Me」、「Love Bites」、「Armageddon It」、「Hysteria」
以及「Rocket」以單曲形式發行。新專輯總共賣了一千六百萬張（其中一千兩百萬
張是在美國售出），樂隊也因此終於在英國獲得巨星級的地位。


1988 年

In October, after 227 shows supporting the HYSTERIA album, work begins on
the fifth album.
十月，樂隊在完成 227 場「Hysteria」巡迴演出後，開始著手準備第五張專輯。


1989 年

Recordings of album #5 proceed at Wisseloord Studios and Studio 150 in
Amsterdam (Holland), before the band relocate to Dublin. The band also play
"Tear It Down" live at the MTV Video Music Awards, Steve Clark's last show
with the band.
在樂隊回到都柏林之前，分別於 Wisseloord Studios 以及位於阿姆斯特丹的
Studio 150 錄製第五張專輯。他們也在 MTV 音樂錄影帶大獎現場演出
「Tear It Down」這首歌，這也是 Steve Clark 最後一次和樂隊一起表演。
