Summary: Is it just me or does this stuff look and sound dated now?
Review: I was a big Def Leppard fan in the '80s, up to and including "Hysteria", but things kind of fell off after that. "Adrenalize", "Slang", and "Euphoria" all fell WAY short of the classic Def Leppard that was evident in their previous work. This DVD collection of concert footage and music videos is interesting because of the dated look of the footage itself. It all looks stuck in the '80s, which is the strongest reminder that they hit their peak some 15 years ago. Sure, die-hard Leppard fans are gonna disagree with me on this. But this DVD collection is more of a curious time capsule than anything else. They may have had their "own sound", but it was too formulaic after a while. I think they exhausted the best of their creativity as songwriters by the time they started their follow-up to "Hysteria" -- they didn't have much left to say. They were one of the prototypical hair bands during their heyday, but it looks silly now. As much as I love the material up through 1987, it is almost painful to watch the videos and concert footage. Truth be told, I bought this DVD so I could burn the songs onto blank CD's and listen to them in my car. I don't think that the videos or concert footage have aged well.You like Def Leppard? Buy this DVD for the songs, in particular the older pre-"Adrenalize" stuff. The video footage hasn't aged well, though.

If you saw the Hystoria tape, this DVD has the Hystoria tape contents and In the Round In your Face, which is live footage from a concert in 1988....plus interviews...plus some of their new songs.

Summary: DEF LEPPARD ON DVD- GET READY TO ROCK-ROCK TIL' YOU DROP!!!
Review: I have owned both Visualize and Historia on VHS for some time but these DVD's are even better than the originals!!! There are some great new bonus videos and commentary from the band as well. The DVD menu format is really well done too, it's easy to go right to your favorite song (or songs) or any other footage you want to view! These are some of the best music DVD's I have ever seen- and yes, I may be biased because Def Leppard is my favorite band (to this day!), but they are really great DVD's and very well done! Check them out!!! They are worth it!!!

Review: I used to watch MTV from morning to night (when school was out). I was 13 when I first saw "Photograph" and "Foolin'". Looking at them now brings back tons of memories. Compared to the videos today, they look funny, but I still enjoy them somehow. The concert part (In The Round - In Your Face) is incredible. The bonus videos are good also. I look forward to their new album and hope there will be a third dvd some day.

Summary: ROCK OF AGES AND BEYOND!!!
Review: These DVD's are yet another reason the lads from Sheffield will still be around for a long time time to come...their music still holds up - AND STILL ROCKS!!! Getting 4 video compilations down to 2 DVD's (and throwing in the videos from SLANG and EUPHORIA - great videos by the way!...especially the video for "Promises") was a great idea; Def Leppard still gives the fans their hard earned money's worth! ... In the interview section, the band talked about pushing limits, getting better and better and staying on top (or as they put it "you snooze, you lose...and we ain't snoozing")
...they certainly aren't snoozing. ... In the meantime, enjoy these DVD's...they are definitely worth buying! LONG LIVE THE LEPS!!!

Summary: A well-done DVD with plenty of material
Review: It's a real treat to have two VHS cassette's worth of material on one DVD. It's hilarious to watch the "Me and my wine" video, which I've only ever seen once on MTV. It's also nice to see Steve Clark performing a magnificent show on the grandiose tour he so badly wanted. A couple nitpicks: I know the videos they included only go to 1988, but I really wish the "Rocket" video was on this DVD. It was effectively from the same era as the other material included here, but instead appears on the "Visualize / Video archive" DVD instead. Also, the highly-touted "interview" on the DVD is really nothing at all. It shows the five guys sitting in a cluster of chairs, talking about making these DVDs, the videos, touring, etc. But the whole ordeal lasts less than five minutes. It is significantly less than I had hoped for. Oh well. By the way: Joe talks about how he hates to perform "Photograph" live, because it's so hard to get a chance to breathe while singing it. Why don't they come up with a new arrangement of the song for performing live? It would be great to do something new with that old recognizable classic.

Summary: Thankyou DEF LEPPARD!!! You really love your fans!!!!
Review: The band has released ALL their music (promotional) videos, from 1980 to 1988, on this one sided disc! The band has, also, released their "In The Round" concert video, from the 1987-1988 Hysteria tour, on this same one sided disc! How did they manage to pack all of that into one side of a single DVD disc???? Amazing!!!! This awesome DVD has 3 hours of lethal DEF LEPPARD stuff! If you're a die-hard fan of the band, like I am, you'll purchase this, like, IMMEDIATELY!!!! I've seen it and am raving about it!!!! I have Hysteria, evidently! Get your's TODAY!!!!
