Description of Def Leppard - Visualize / Video Archive:
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
Def Leppard - Visualize / Video Archive Reviews:
Great buy 
2009-10-18 - Great dvd for a great buy. The disc was in very good shape and I had no problems what so ever with this seller or the item. Reasonable shipping time, not overpriced. Just a good deal. Would buy from this seller again and could expect a fair deal and a product in good shape.
Excellent in all respects
2009-02-16 - You get 2 DVD's for the price of one here, Retroactive and then the promos so that alone makes it excellent value. Aside from the promos which are good to see as well, there are also interesting interviews with the band who to me are intelligent, articulate people - that alone is pretty rare. Hearing their comments and views on music, fans and indeed life is something you don't often get featured anymore. Def Leppard's heads and feet have remained, despite the money and fame very firmly planted on terrafirma and they have remained loyal to their roots which is commendable. That comes across strongly on this DVD. There is nothing on it I think is poor, the quality of it all is excellent whether musicially or historically.
Def Leppard are my age. I grew up with them after Sweet (one of their very strong musical influences) and I've stayed with them because they write great songs and put on a great show. That for me is essential and especially in a rock band when you need to be able to cut it live. Def Leppard can and they do as is illustrated here - every time.

2007-10-29 - 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 
2007-08-11 - 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".
