Def Leppard: Viva! Hysteria [Blu-ray] [2013] [Region Free]

Got into def leppard when i was 6-7 due to my dad listening to them like a god when he was 21 -22 ish?. NOW 23 years down the line and Now its me who listens to them like a god :D. Now that i can own a New installment off the Band, I am proud to say i have my own copy off them still in there prime Kinda :D but i am not a singer nor can i judge happy all together. The package came within 2-3 days and the Dvd was slick and smooth and has a good layout back and front and comes with a little booklet. The picture quality is beautiful and if plugged into a Led 40+ inch screen and 5.1+ surround sound you won't be disappointed in what you hear. Think what most people are not happy about and what loses its 1 star with me, is hearing the crowd what is very faint but from the looks off it the stadium is small?Anyways Its a must buy in my eyes, I do hope they come back to England so i can see them in person and take my father to see them once again enjoy a great band once again.

For anyone who follows the band, you'll know what to expect here, the band are known as one of the best live bands you can see, the clarity and precision of their musicianship is literally better than anyother band I've ever seen live.The bonus support act sets are also great because the band have revisited some really old tracks, the main show is pure class.In response to a couple of people mentioning there's no noise from the crowd - that's because the recording is from the soundboard so you get the best quality, they don't record it from out in the audience anymore! And it's worth mentioning that this concert is well documented as being 100% live as it was played, no overdubs, no tricks...this is not always the case for a lot of live concerts.Listen to the thunderous kick drum of Rick Allen on this dvd and if you've seen Def Leppard live in recent years you'll know this is exactly how this band sounds.Regarding Steve Clark, he is seen quite a lot in this dvd if you watch the big screen behind the band, in the intro and before gods of war. I would say that's plenty of acknowledgement for the fans.This bluray is highly recommended for anyone interested in Def Leppard and loud live music in general. If you have a decent TV and sound system, crank up and enjoy!

This concert on blu ray is a good one also a brilliant picture as well,thanks.

Firstly I would like to point out that I am a lifelong def leppard fan and they will forever be my favourite band, I first discovered the band aged 8 and have followed and supported them ever since (im now 31), so please be assured this an honest review. The production of this blu ray is brilliant....the picture is super sharp and the sound is pure and clear. My big problem with this concert is its lifeless....theres barely any crowd noise, the guitar sounds are so clean....they lack punch, the drums sound like a machine(I know there electronic but even so...),phil collen has a tendancy to put lead guitars where there not needed and some of joes banter with the crowd is cringe worthy. To me this blu ray has the look of a def leppard video set to a live soundtrack as opposed to being a live energy packed concert. In the round in your face is a far superior concert and is the reason def leppard are such a great great band...great, raw and energy packed concert. Some of the vocal effects on dont shoot shotgun and excitable are horrific. The intro section to the disc recycles footage from visualize and is pretty pointless. The most upsetting thing for me is the complete lack of acknowledgement for steve clark....the intro to gods of war from in the round is shown but that it. The disc is dedicated to random people but not steve, not one member thanks steve in there notes (surely they all owe him something as he contributed to 95% of the material on offer). I hope people buy this blu ray and enjoy it as def leppard are a wonderful band and are the soundtrack to my life, but from a personal point of view i feel disappoint and wont be choosing this over in the round in your face. I wish they would release lost footage of steve as he ( in my opinion) is what made def leppard so great and he should be remembered as a truly unique gifted guitarist .Ps why the frig is the re recorded version of hysteria played on the bonus menu????? It sounds so unbelievably awful

This, without doubt is the best Def Leppard live recording. The band sound better than they have in years (and I am not just saying that as a long time fan!) There is plenty of content on this disc and of course Hysteria in it entirety, it is great to hear/see some of those songs again in a live setting, some of which were last seen on the Hysteria tour & 'in the round' concert film. My only slight complaint, it would have been nice to have some interview & more behind the scenes footage, but maybe that is being saved for the upcoming documentary series?The blu-ray version of the concert is also awesome, picture & sound quality are really great, and I would strongly reccommend this to any Lep fan.

first of all i would like to add that i had my dad watch it and he isn't a big Def Leppard fan and he loved watching it.the way they filmed it was great, they didnt spend too much time just filming one member of the band.sound was great.everything about it was great and the bonus features were awesome, you get to see the DED FLATBIRD stuff which was awesome, and some epic acoustic stuff.it was properly made, well worth the price, i would of paid more for it.i strongly recomend you buy it, even if you're casual about DEF LEPPARD.im gonna go watch it again now, cant take my eyes of it!

The band are tight, the songs are magic (obviously) but I'm afraid Joe Elliott is sounding a little weak and past it. Also, what's wrong with a smile now and then? He looks pissed off throughout the show. All he does is wander up the 'lead singer aisle', sing, mimic to the crowd, then turn his back and walk back to the drum kit. It's a bit annoying after the fifth song.....but it's still good entertainment.
