After its 1987 album Hysteria went through the roof, where could Def Leppard go next? This three-hour-plus program shows: the 90-minute Visualize presents the British band's videos from 1988 (where Historia ends) to its mid-'90s albums Adrenalize, Vault, and Slang. The two-hour Video Archive compiles rare performance footage and videos, including Live from Don Valley Stadium, which immortalizes the band's triumphant 1993 return to hometown Sheffield for a sold-out show (at 45 minutes and eight songs, it's obviously not the entire performance). Next comes 40 minutes' worth of six videos from 1993 to '95, and finally a 1995 acoustic performance from a small Sheffield club that clocks in at 30 minutes and includes stripped-down versions of "Armageddon It" and "Animal," and a surprise cover of David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust." --Kevin Filipski

Visualize/Video Archieve - Def Leppard
Awesome. Excellent. Breathtaking! If you love Def Leppard even just a little, this DVD will blow you away. Really amazing. Totally cool.

Def Leppard Visualize Video Archive
I love watching these videos! I hesitate to say Def Lep in their "hey day" because as far as I'm concerned their time is still "Now"! I went to see them in concert this past summer and these guys look better than ever! We are all way over 40, but watching them performing on stage you'd think they were still twenty something. With a new album coming out, it's fun to watch how far they've evolved. Can't wait for the new music! Keep going strong guys because I love ya!

Great material, but showing it's age
Def Leppard - Visualize / Video Archive is a wonderful collection of their videos, live and rare performances, interviews, and an acoustic set by one of, if not the biggest band of the 1980s. However, the reason I dropped it from 5 to 4 stars is the visual design - it's very much struck in the late '80s (and in a negative way) when released in 1993 and '95 with bight neon colors, scene wipes, and a general "dated" design when Grunge was at it's uprising and peak and more muted colors and designs were the calling for video collections at the time. This doesn't take away from the excellent material contained within, but makes watching it somewhat "cringewothy".
