Summary: Def Leppard Rocks!!!
Review: The DVD package of Def Leppard's HISTORIA/IN THE ROUND IN YOUR FACE is hard rock at its finest! First, there's the HISTORIA program, which is a treasure for any fan of 1980s hard rock or rock of any era. Lots of classics such as "Bringin' On The Heartbreak" and rarities, including "Me & My Wine": A great rock song and amusing video. Then, there's the awesome concert video IN THE ROUND IN YOUR FACE... During the band's Hysteria Tour, the band seems more energetic than ever! (Certainly more than in their ARCHIVES video, which I also recommend.) Here, the band is at the peak of their hard rock creativity. The band's entrance is spectacular and they just keep going! This was at the time when guitarist Steve Clark was with DL and let me tell you... He is a wild man on stage who really adds to the show! It is a shame that he passed on. God rest his soul. This tour also marks the triumphant return of drummer Rick Allen after his unfortunate accident. The concert was filmed at McNichols Arena in Denver Colorado in which the band's stage is in the center, which allows not only the band to be more personal with the crowd, but provides a much bigger and better sound! Every song is a knockout! Also, there is another element that ARCHIVES does not have... Guitar solos! Steve Clark performs a brief solo intro to one of the songs, but Phil Collen gives a more lengthy solo that is sure to please... "Loud and proud... !" as vocalist Jim Elliot states. The special features include interesting interviews with the band members and bonus music videos that express the band's diversity. All great songs, keeping in mind that not every song is going to sound like it belongs on the Hysteria album. Whether you are a fan of DL or a fan of hard rock, buy this DVD and crank it up!

Summary: Excellent DVD overall
Review: If you like early Def Leppard (1980-1989), this DVD is for you. It is broken into three parts: Historia, In The Round, and the extras. Now a description of each:
Historia: All of Def Leppard's music videos from Hello America to Love Bites. Though most of them are just live performances with the original audio track played over them (lame excuses for music videos,) a few of the REAL ones stand out. The one for Me And My Wine combines an awesome song with one of the coolest/funniest music videos I've ever seen. Rock Of Ages is a pretty messed up video, but still worth checking out assuming it came out way back in 1983. This section of the DVD scores a 3.5/5.0 In The Round: A Def Leppard concert. But it's not just any concert! This time the stage is in the middle of the arena, not one end! The band must constantly move around in order to please the fans, providing them with new challenges. Though great overall, the horrific version of Bringing On The Heartbreak detracts from the overal quality. This section scores 4/5 Extras: Two parts of the extras: Interviews and Videos. The interviews talk about the band's plans with the DVD and how it helped them out, as well as how they have changed. The videos? NOT LIKE THE REST. These are from Slang and Euphoria, so expect something a little more pop oriented here (though the visual effects in the Promises video (as well as Phil's double guitar) really are to be appreciated.) My final verdict? Buy this DVD if you're a Def Leppard fan only. If you're just a minor fan, stick to buying CDs (get Pyromania.)

Summary: Trip down memory lane
Review: Def Leppard have been around since before MTV and were really the pioneers of metal video. When MTV first aired the Lepps and Iron Maiden were really the only metal videos that were played. This DVD is the best hard rock eye candy any Def Leppard fan can own. They could have easily sold Historia and In The Round In Your Face seperatly, but chose to give their fans the most for their money. Both features are great and can be watched over and over and not get old. I watched Hystoria first and saw videos I hadn't seen in years. The live performance on In The Round from the Hysteria tour are second to none. If you are a Def Leppard fan, or long to see some cool videos from MTV's golden years, this is a must have.

Summary: Im glad they put there stuff on dvd.
Review: I already have 3 of there vhs's. the one I don't have is "in the round in your face". let me add you cant get "in the round in your face" anywhere, no one has it. you cant buy it from any store and you cant order it. there is no vhs of "in the round in your face" anywhere, its out of stock and they dont make it on vhs anymore. so I bought the dvd which has "in the round in your face" on it. I like it, its better then fast forwarding and rewinding all the time. plus the sound is better. I like the idea def leppard had, for putting there new videos on both dvds. that way you dont have to buy both.

Summary: Great collection
Review: Historia: Def Leppard isn't the best video band, but this is a great collection of their videos. The running commentary in between is really great too. The best ones are the conert footage Pour Some Sugar On Me and Armageddon it and the best over all is probably Rocket. In the Round, In Your Face: Def Leppard is an excellent live band. Case in point: July 29th, 2000 @ Darien Lake. One of the best days of my life. This is great early footage and performances of Def Leppard's best early music. Excellent line up, great performances and produced very well.

Summary: WOW!!!
Review: In the Round in Your face never sounded so good, VHS leaves your earnign for digital and here it is. The Video Archive material is anything short of phoenominal. Great to hear updated performance tracks. "Rocket" is incredible through a good audio system. Must have for any rock fan.

Summary: Def Leppard - Historia / In the Round, In Your Face
Review: It was great to see this group again as when I remember them when I was growing up. It captures the energy that made Leppard what they were (are?). A real tribute to a band that Epitomized the bands of the 80's and showed the best of what those band could be. I miss that time. I saw in the Round of the tube a million years ago and never thought I would have such a good copy.
