Forty years of Def Leppard shows

It's been forty years since the rock band Def Leppard played its first live show for the public. The gig was at a school in Sheffield, England — and reportedly took place in the dining hall.

The band's current lineup is still performing, and they're on tour right now with the band Journey. Their show comes to Target Field in Minneapolis next week.
