Great Live Music Concert of Legendary British Rock band Def Leppard
No issues with purchasing and prompt deliveryEven though I didn't know about Def Leopard until I remember hearing Hysteria again within the last year.They are my Primary Band that I support my way on my Facebook Feed, YouTube Channel and Spotify only with help from a Professional Musician as partner and Adminstrator for those accounts to prevent any imposters, scammers, etc.I am suggesting to everyone to checkout Def Leopards music across the internet. As well purchase their music on whatever platform that you all use.If possible see them Live in Concert around the world.

If there is a perfect concert, this one is close.
I just watched this on my home theater system (a solid 5.1 Sony) and have to say the video quality is awesome. I didn't notice any sound problems that others mention (soft, muddy bass and Joe's vocals being muffled). When it was over I realized that I had completely forgotten to listen for it, which, to me, means that it must have been just fine. My impression was that the sound quality was great.I'm a big fan of both In The Round, In Your Face and Viva Hysteria, so I had high expectations. The editing is also very good. You really get to appreciate what's going on without a lot of ADD fast cut edits. Bravo for great camera work.I have to say that Def Leppard deserve every last bit of success they've enjoyed, and seem to be having something of a resurgence in the last couple of years. Here is a band that's stayed together for 40 freakin' years. They have lost two guitarists to alcohol but only the first was an outright fire, and that was in, hm let me try to remember, 1983. Steve Clark drank himself to death later, and the band (and fans like me that missed his influence the moment I first heard Adrenalize) never got over it. He still haunts every interview and concert video. However, Vivian has been with them for 25 years now - yeah, sometimes I have to say that to myself. It seems like yesterday.I would say that I digress, but there's a hugely important point to made about this band and this concert - the ENERGY. These guys are pushing 60 now but play like they're 20. Sure, they don't leap and romp around like 20 year-olds, but they so very clearly LOVE being there, playing this material. They play the old stuff with passion and the new stuff with real energy. When the show ended, I thought "Damn, they kicked ass." Everyone mentions Joe's voice, and it has changed. It's thinner and less rangy than it was in the past, but he's still Def Freakin' Leppard's lead singer dammit. He's done a great job of adapting his older pipes for songs written when he was 23.I also really like the song selection. They throw in several new songs and material you haven't already heard a million times, and that really helps to keep the show's energy fresh.Also, a note about Vivian Campbell. It was just a massive pleasure to see him so lively, energized and mobile after his pale, subdued showing in Viva Hysteria, where he was playing under the weight of a serious cancer scare. He's still fighting it, but in Detroit he was every ounce the rock n roll guitarist, into the band and the crowd and the music. Just a kick ass guy. I hope I have his strength when the horrible news starts coming in for me. And his guitar is way up there in the mix where it belongs. In Viva Hysteria it seemed mixed down at times.In sum, an outstanding, energetic performance that looks and sounds fantastic. I would dock this a star for Joe's aging voice, but screw that, the guy is out there rocking. And he doesn't sound bad, just not like he's still in his 20s. He's still Joe Freakin' Elliot. Def Leppard are the best kind of rock band and this concert shows it.

Great Live Document
I've been a Def Leppard fan since I was a kid and they took MTV by storm. The liner notes concisely and perfectly explain much of Def Leppard's appeal, describing their love of what they do and the integrity with which they do it. They're not trendy, and they rarely get praised by music critics. The fans know, though. We know that this is a band of extremely talented musicians whose songs have stood the test of time, and they bring a ton of energy and joy to all of their shows. From their classic albums of the 80s to their outstanding recent albums, Def Leppard, after 40 years, are still an act not to be missed. It is absolutely the case that their shows are centered around their masterpieces Pyromania and Hysteria, but they are not just some nostalgia act. They are able to mix in songs from other albums and eras and never miss a beat.One thing that stood out to me in this show as Rick Savage. Typically most of the attention is on the great frontman Joe Elliott and the guitar players, but Rick gives some seriously high energy to his performance on bass. I particularly like the moment when he goes front and center and launches into the bass riff for "Rock On."Everything from the enthusiastic crowd to the lights and images on the screen behind the band support the group and the feeling that they evoke for audience around the world. The set list is full of good choices, though I wish it were a bit longer. This band has so many great songs, you can't help but miss the things they couldn't include. I'm glad Def Leppard has embraced the release of live albums in recent years. Mirror Ball, Viva Hysteria, and now And There Will Be A Next Time prove the point that many of us have long known: This is not just a great studio band that conquered the world in the 80s. They are a vital force for rock and roll right now, and they earn their success every time they take the stage.

40 years, they still tour, record new music, have never broken up, and sound incredible! Def Leppard holds that record!
What other rock band has been together 40 years (yes, really) still tours yearly, still writes & records new music, has never broken up, and still has the original lineup (other than one member replaced due to an untimely death)? Not many, if any after 40 years. And if such a band exists, do they sound every bit as good live as they did in their glory days? Def Leppard does! These guys are amazing and worthy of so much respect for their longevity. Even if you don't care for their music (which you probably wouldn't be reading this anyway if that's the case) you know who they are and you gotta respect them and what their name signifies. This disc is as a good as attending a concert, sans the shirt-vibrating volume of a live show!

Great Concert Video - just one issue.
Everything about this video was top notch with the exception of Joe's vocals. They might have been great but it was like they forgot to turn his mic up. Everything from instruments to background vocals were louder than his vocal part. I don't know if it was because he was struggling so they wanted the focus elsewhere. Watch their brother's from England White Snakes' live video and you will hear the difference. Definitely worth buying.

Muy buen concierto.
Uno de mis grupos favoritos sobre todo los 4 primeros discos de estudio en su carrera. El concierto muy bueno y a pesar de su trayectoria se encuentran en muy buena forma todos los integrantes de la banda.

現役続行中!
作品的には「ビバ・ヒステリア」の方が好き。80年代の曲は盛り上がるのはわかるが、新作からの曲が少ないのは残念ということで星減らします。

Loved it....Def Leppard still delivers
2 CDs and a DVD of a 2016 concert in the Motor City. Watching the DVD had me smiling like I was there. They still put on a great show. They played for about an hour and a half, most of their classics, and three from their self-titled 2015 album. Would have loved to have heard Too Late For Love from Pyromania and another song or two from Adrenalize, but even so, it was more than worth it.

Featuring 18 of their best songs [and Phil Collen shirtless again - and all waxed up before the first song], they were touring for their self-titled album released in 2015. This release was filmed in Detroit in 2016. Also featuring are 5 videos from their self-titled release. If there is something negative that can be said about the release is that it is short - clocking in at just 90 minutes for the concert.
