Renee - Joe Elliott Interview Quote
First Song Played By Def Leppard (In Rehearsal)
"The first song we ever played as a band was Suffragette City by David Bowie. But just to test the mic and just to get things going I think Pete Willis our original guitar player started playing Stairway To Heaven and I just joined in."
