Rating: Summary: Great insight into one of the best selling album of all time Review: This is a great DVD from the classic albums line. the DVD is split into 2 sections part 1 is 50 minutes (?) It goes into great detail how the band put this album together. The interviews were excellent and Steve Clark finally gets the recognition he so finely deserves (and has done for years). I think they should have had more than a 30 second interview soundbyte from Steve though. This dvd also features promo videos for different songs both live and through music video. In closing on section 1 I thought this album had the band at breaking point though it was very draining on all on them to get the results that they got.The second part about 50/51 minutes Joe and Phil take you almost track for track telling you how each song was put together. Joe and Phil also perform unplugged versions of songs from Hysteria. Overall this was a very DVD I got mine for... and I thought it was wellworth shelling out for in the end.
Rating: Summary: Like a Def Leppard ice cream sundae..........:) Review: What a treat to discover that Def Leppard was releasing some of their best VHS tapes onto DVD. Although Def Leppard may have been slagged unfairly as a "hair band", they truely had some of the most ear candy songs with a healthy sprinkling of melodic guitar solos from the eighties. I was lucky enough to see a couple of their live shows back then, and if you are a fan of over the top metal concert spectaculars, as there were back then, you will like the DVD (especially if you like lasers). As a fan of DVDs, I particularly enjoy the concert DVDs because of the fact you can virtually turn a room into a concert hall-DVD's are that good. My personal favorite, although all the tunes are great would be "Turning On The Heartbreak" with the acoustic intro. As a last note, this performance includes the late,great Steve Clark, who along with Phil Collen created that wonderful twin "wall of sound" melodic guitar attack for the Leps. Steve, you are still greatly missed. Lep fans, I hope you enjoy this treat as much as I do whom miss great shows and music from alot of the crap that is out today..........
