On October 23rd, 1995, Def Leppard cemented themselves among the greatest of bands by accomplishing an insane task. The band had to perform three concerts in 24 hours, traveling from Tangier, Africa, to London, Europe, and ending in Vancouver, Canada, North America. This crazy schedule placed Def Leppard in the Guinness Book of World Records. Three gigs. Three continents. 24 hours. All hail.
