Rating: Summary: Def Leppard at its best Review: First of all, I am a huge Def Leppard fan so automatically I am going to love this DVD, but even if you have never heard of the band, this DVD is still for you. Def Leppard, one of the biggest rock bands in the 1980s, shows exactly why they were so famous in this incredible DVD. The DVD has two main parts to it- the music videos and the live performances. The live performances come from their "In the Round, In Your Face" tour. The live performance part of the DVD is my personal favorite as it spotlights the talents of all the band members. The concert is incredible and the people working the camera do a great job in making the viewer feel like they are sitting front row and center. Once you are tired of the live performance (like that would ever happen), Def Leppard has provided their actual music videos that were played on TV. Both the sound and visual quality are incredible. The videos are a lot of fun to watch. So basically, if you are a Def Leppard fan, or even just a casual rock fan in general, give this DVD a try. The classic Def Leppard hits like "Photograph," "Pour Some Sugar on Me," "Rock of Ages," among many others, will keep you pumped for hours.
Rating: Summary: Powerful Review: You won't be disappointed with this one. From start to finish the band is on fire. The sound is superb and the video editing is superb.
If you think hair bands were all hype, just watch these guys do it live. Def Leppard has always been known for its overly produced sound. Hearing it raw and powerful on this disc shows you they were not adding much in the studio. They sound the same live, which is incredible considering how produced their albums sounded.
I was tremendously impressed with how Elliot's vocals hold out through the entire show. I really wondered if he could do it live, and he does.
The entire performance just drips Leppard. I think the sound mix is great as well.
Rating: 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!
Rating: Summary: Love it! Review: If you are like me and never got to see them live in the 80's before Steve died, this is a MUST!!! Live footage from the Denver show...this video is just amazing!
