Def Leppard / Hysteria live releases on blu-ray, DVD, CD and box sets

Def Leppard go to town with a bevy of live releases on vinyl, CD, Blu-ray and DVD which primarily focus on their December 2018 performance of their mega-selling album Hysteria at London’s O2 Arena.

Hysteria at the O2 is available as a 2CD+blu-ray or 2CD+DVD package sees the album performed in its entirety before the sold-out crowd. Band members Joe Elliott (vocals), Phil Collen (guitar), Rick “Sav” Savage (bass), Vivian Campbell (guitar), and Rick Allen (drums) perform the album and then in the time-honoured fashion end the set with a host of extra hits. Both blu-ray and DVD are region-free and come a bonus mini-documentary: Hysteria: Then And Now.



There is also a vinyl version of this live concert, but due to the limitations of vinyl for this release they stick strictly to the 12-track version of Hysteria with no extras. Simply called Hysteria Live, this is a limited edition set pressed on 2LP ‘crystal clear’ vinyl.

For collector’s there are two limited edition six-disc box sets that effectively bring together Hysteria at the O2 and audio and video of the band’s 2019 Las Vegas residency at Zappos Theatre in Planet Hollywood. Dubbed Hits Vegas, Live at Planet Hollywood this is a 28-song ‘deep dive’ which includes the hits along with rarities such as ‘Too Late For Love,’ ‘Billy’s Got A Gun,’ and ‘Slang’ and some intimate acoustic renditions of some tracks.

Like the Hysteria at the O2, Hits Vegas, Live at Planet Hollywood also comes with a behind-the-scenes bonus feature. To be clear about the content, the London to Vegas sets offer a blu-ray and 2CDs for each venue/performance, which gives you a total of the six discs. However, if you haven’t upgraded to blu-ray yet (get on with it!) then Eagle Rock, who are releasing this, are also offering a version with DVDs.

Hits Vegas…  appears to be exclusive to the two limited edition box sets which also come with a 40-page hardcover book. The audio includes Dolby 5.1 and DTS on the DVDs and DTS-HD Master Audio on the blu-rays. Running times are 113 mins for O2 and 162 mins for Vegas. All DVDs and blu-rays are all-region/region-free.

Everything is released on 29 May 2020 (was 24 April).
