Summary: A MUST HAVE FOR ANY 80'S HARD ROCK FAN!!!
Review: How can you think of the 80's and not think of Def Leppard? The pioneers of hyped up, laser drenched, echo filled, arena rock! Hysteria is one of the greatest Rock CD's of all time, and now it's video compliments are finally here in the digital world for us to enjoy! I remember back when the VHS tapes were each released, and the excitement of rushing home to throw them in my VCR. And I must say I did the same with this DVD, and have not been disappointed in the least. The sound absolutly rocks, and the interactive menus are nice as well. So nice in fact, that I wish the main menu was a screen saver! Hehe If you'e seen the flashing lights and pulsing sounds of "Pour Some Sugar On Me" in the menu and are a hard core fan like me, I'm sure you can relate. I can't wait to check out the Visualize/Video Vault DVD to see the other half of the Def Interview, and all the other timeless goodies that await me! Keep the faith Def Fans! Def Leppard X will be out soon!!! :-)

Summary: See A Def Leppard "In The Round" Concert in Your Own Home!
Review: Didn't get to see Def Leppard in concert? You can now! Their revolutionary "In The Round In Your Face" video sets you in the best seat in the house to see this great band perform their earlier hits. Filmed during the "Hysteria" tour they are pitch-perfect and constantly in action, moving from one side of the stage to another, and another. You'll feel like you're there too as you hear the swell of the cheering crowd as Joe Elliott introduces Rick "The Thundergod" Allen, and see Steve Clark and Phil Collen's amazing guitar expertise, with Rick Savage's throbbing bass.
Better looking than their VH1 "Hysteria" Movie counterparts, and better sounding than anybody performing today, you have GOT to buy this concert video.

Summary: It's about time!
Review: As a younger fan of Def Leppard, it is exciting to finally have the DVD version of my VHS favorites. For anyone truly interested in some astounding live shows, check out IN THE ROUND, IN YOUR FACE for some great hard rocking entertainment. The show featured is from the Hysteria tour and I was only ten at the time and couldn't see it live. Now I see what I missed! From the phenomenal laser show to the twist on Bringin' on the Heartbreak to the showstopping Rock of Ages, this video captures the magic of a truly talented and entertaining band. The showcase of their videos on HISTORIA really bring back that rock and roll vibe of the early and mid 80s--it's cool to have these videos since no one (AHEM---mtv!) seems to play videos anymore now or from that era. Plus, it gives you little quirky introductory notes on the making of each video. Put a little nostalgia in your life! BUY THIS!!

Summary: A Must Have Item!!!!!!!
Review: I have been a long time fan of this band...and this is a good jumping off point if you are just getting into them...it starts at the beginning... the bands videos and their live performance are something every music lover should see. They are the most innovative band of the 80's. I own these both on VHS and am THRILLED to be able to get them together on one DVD finally!!! BUY THIS, you won't regret it...trust me.

Summary: Own the VHS, waiting for the DVD....
Review: All I can say is GET IT!!!! Even if you already own the VHS versions like me, being able to jump from song to song would be great. Reason for it being pushed back "... it was decided to improve the sound quality to an "enhanced stereo" sound, which caused a slight delay..." came from the Official Def Leppard Site [...]. It would be unreal if they could make it DTS Dolby Digital Surround. Especially since the concert was "In The Round". The price Amazon was charging was between [dollar amounts]. Two people can't go to the movies for that anymore, and you get to keep this and play it over and over.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally!!
Review: Being a huge fan of Def Leppard, my opinion my be biased, but I must tell you, it's great to know that they're incredible stage show will be brought to the forefront of technology by being put on DVD. I have seen many great bands play in concert; Aerosmith, Van Halen, Journey, Eric Clapton a few of these more than once...all were great performers. But Def Leppard is something different. They give it their all in their performance and never let up until the end. This concert, In the Round, In Your Face, was recorded in their Pour Some Sugar On Me heyday and includes Steve Clark, their guitarist who died between the top selling Hysteria and Adrenalize. Clark was a master of his low slung guitar and if it were possible for him to live on stage and play it every waking minute, he would surely be alive today. This is a great concert movie. They sound incredible, their stage show is high tech but not detached from their performance and you never get bored with their showmanship. I only hope the transfer to DVD goes well. I do own the VHS and I have watched it many times, enjoying it immensely. Even if it is not being watched, listening to it is just as good. Highly recommended, even for the casual fans of Def Leppard.

Summary: Too expensive in the US
Review: While traveling in Mexico I purchased this DVD (Region 4) and it was only $120 Pesos, which is about $11 USD, and since I have a region 1 & 4 DVD player, I'm able to enjoy this for half the price. It's kind of strange how it's twice as expensive in the US, when usually music and DVD's are twice as expensive in Mexico (especially with imports).

Concerning the DVD itself, it has great classic videos from the era when MTV was cool (all videos and no reality "shows") and a rockin' concert filmed mostly in Denver. I saw them live in Monterrey, Mexico in their 1993 Adrenalize tour and they ruled!!

Viva Def Leppard.

Summary: Get this one with the DVD for 'Visualize/Video Archive'
Review: Good value for money and a great near six hours of full on Def Leppard. Between 'Historia/In Your Face In The Round' and 'Visualize/Video Archive' you get everything Def Leppard has done on video up until 1999.
Both are well put-together and have satifying bonus features (interview segments about playing live,putting together the DVD's) as well as additional videos from 'Slang' (1996) and 'Euphoria'(1999). All the Def Lepp you can eat and more. Enjoy!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The VHS tapes on DVD - and little else...
Review: If you're a Def Leppard fan I still recommend this DVD. If for no other reason than it being so much easier, on DVD rather than VHS, to skip around both recordings to play your favorite tracks.

Unfortunately though, there's little extra. They did include a few videos from Slang, which is nice because, like most fans, I never saw these on MTV. There's also a ten minute or so interview with the band, but its reveals absolutely nothing new. AND the interview takes place in the corner of some office with a shakey camera and almost unbearably bad, echoey, open-mike audio!

Also the DVD transfer is mediocre at best. It doesn't look like they bothered striking a fresh print from the film negatives for this DVD release. Its not much better than if you captured & burned your own DVD from your VHS copies!

But, as I said, if you're fan its still worth buying now, because I doubt any improved, 'Special Edition' versions will ever come out after these.
