On This Day in Def Leppard History - 26th August, the following concerts and events took place. Including the band's second ever show in Sheffield, England 35 years ago on this day in 1978.
Joe commented on the performance on UK TV in January 1993 - "I would say the weirdest gig that I've ever done. which was actually before Rick joined the band was we played a field in Sheffield once and they just ran a power cable from a house and we'd plug the things in. And it went dark and nobody could see us so somebody drove two cars in front of us and turned their headlights on and we got paid three quid."
As of 2013, Def Leppard have played 9 times on this date.
