- Everything you could possibly want to know about Hysteria!!!

Def Leppard is my favorite band of all time!! This DVD has everything about the making of Hysteria and more!!! There are tons of footage where the members talk about the songs and let you hear some original versions like the original version of Love Bites which I am very happy was not the final version but it's good to know that information anyway. There are a couple acoustic songs: Pour Some Sugar On Me and Hysteria. And it shows a real picture of the album charts when Hysteria was at #1! It's a very informative DVD that any Def Leppard fan must have in their collection!!! I also love when Phil Collen plays the guitar part of Love Bites because Love Bites is my favorite rock ballad ever made and it's cool to hear just that little part of Love Bites!!! I also recommend the DVD's Historia/In The Round In Your Face and Visualize/Video Archive because all 3 of these DVD's are must buy DVD's for any Def Leppard fan!!!

- Read this before ordering!

This is a DVD in the "Classic Albums" series, which has interviews with the band and Mutt and some other people tangentally related to the making of Hystera. This is NOT the "Hysteria" movie.

When I got this, I was pretty disappointed that Amazon mislabeled it. After watching it though I am very happy that I ended up with it and it's one of my most watched DVDs.

Strictly for music/recording nerds and Def Leppard fans, this is a well done documentary piece on what the band went through when recording Hysteria as well as the touring they did after Rick's accident. Musically it points out some of the nuances that one might miss through casual listening and some great bits which (thankfully, in some cases) never made it onto the album.

The DVD has a whole lot of Phil and Joe but Rick really shines on this too and special attention is given to Steve's contributions.

- Great insight into one of the best selling album of all time

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.

- Fabulous documentary and GREAT bonus footage!

the "CLASSIC ALBUM" series is terrific and getting better with each new DVD. This is a fabulous accounting of the making of Hysteria ....with interviews from all the parties involved...great tech stuff on the songs and recordings and fun video from back in the day.

a HUGE bonus is a couple of acoustic duo versions of "Hysteria" and "Pour Some Sugar On Me" with just Joe and Phil that is KILLER!

If you like the album you will love this and if you are a musician you will really enjoy the inside info.

- Hysterical about the DVD

I have listened to the CD more times than I can count, and there were so many things that they implimented in the music, that I've never caught!!! I can listen to the CD in a new way now and its like listening to it for the first time again!!! Great DVD and worth every penny!!!!!
