On the highway to hard-rock world domination, AC/DC were captured at their staunchin' best in this live video footage. Includes interviews with band members and the late singer Bon Scott, whom the whole movie is dedicated (Bon died in strange circumstances for alcohol poisoning a couple of months later). Simply great.
Excellent tour footage, interviews with the band,, insights into their personal lives.. Paris 1979 . the band is at the peak of their stardom, Bon Scott leads AC/DC into Paris,, after already conquering Australia,, their native land,, the UK, they set their sights on conquering the U.S. market. featuring 12 songs of live footage from their famous concert in Paris , France. also excerpts into the band members lives,, such as hobbies and such,, it is said that Bon Scott had predicted his own death when he wrote Highway to Hell ,, not sure if it was two weeks or two months but right after that song came out,, Bon Scott had met his tragic end, down a road one night after heavy drinking,, a great documentary on one of the best hard rocking bands that we will ever see,, long live AC/DC,, and rest in peace Bon Scott.
The film captures one of the loudest rock n' roll bands on the planet onstage and off. Personal interviews with lead guitarist Angus Young, vocalist Bon Scott, and other bandmates, Malcolm Young (rhythm guitarist), Cliff Williams (bassist), and Phil Rudd (drummer), are seen within a 12 song set. 'High Voltage', 'Whole Lotta Rosie','Let There Be Rock',and 'Highway to Hell' are featured.
The film, shot in Paris during the last leg of the band's 1979 'Highway To Hell' tour, shows one of the final few performances of late-lead singer Bon Scott, as the movie itself is dedicated to him.

I saw this film when it premiered in New York City hosted by the WPLJ crew. They gave out buttons, posters all sorts of stuff. That was just the beginning. Those of you who are old enough to remember old movie theatres will remember the big single screen movie houses. We saw it at one of the best in NYC, the place must have seated 800 people and the place was packed. Flash, the lights go down. I am there with 4 of my best friends, we're in the 7th grade so about 12? The pot smoke hits the air all around us, then the music starts. It was an experience, we even had our own Angus running up and down the asiles. You can bet your ass you would never ever see anything like that nowadays.
...i'm satisfaction guaranteed.." Bon Scott screams out on "Live Wire"...and i think these words are just perfect to describe this piece of music history...yes music history! I saw this movie 100 times or maybe 120...and every time it is better and better,rocker and rocker.. AC/DC are the best band!and they proved it all that night back in 1980..if it was needed. So if you want to be part of music history u must see this movie. BEWARE!!!!!!! YOU WON'T BE THE SAME AFTER THIS VISION.
