    About as good as a filmed gig is going to get

    There weren't many well filmed gigs in the late 80s/early 90s, and this one does manage to capture a lot of the feeling of being there.

    This movie rocks, literally!

    This is a great portrayal of what a good rock concert should be like. Full of energy, lots of good tunes, and filmed on 35mm film, it is truly inspiring. I wish all shows could be this good. Long live AC/DC!

    Good stuff but not their best

    This is good snapshot of the band in that era, but definitely not the best example of ACDC live.

    It's entertaining and the band still had plenty of energy, with Brian becoming more of a stage performer - later on of course he became even more comfortable up there.

    Slade was a fine drummer but regularly played the songs too fast, spoiling the stomping feel somewhat.

    On that tour Angus deviated strangely to a more distorted sound which was not typical of his previous sound. Subsequently the twin guitars are not quite the classic sound which you can hear on Youtube before or after this era.

    Brian sounds great, even though his voice sounded quite churned up and ragged in that era, it suited the raw power of the music, and in reality it was his last tour as a real balls-out power singer, though he has certainly showed flashes of that here and there in each tour since. His best live work and quality of voice can be found in the 80s stuff - there's no shame in admitting that.

    Overall it's great stuff, but the most representative Brian-eras are with Rudd on drums. It's a '7' by their standards but an '8' or '9' compared to what else is out there.

    As good as live rock n roll can get in your living room.

    I've had the DVD for awhile and watched it several times on a 46" screen, and it was great.

    Now, I have a 70" Sony and with the accompanying Bose system, it's as if I were at Donington.

    The live version of "High Voltage" is one of the truly underrated hard rock songs of all time.

    "Hells Bells," "Thunderstruck," "Highway to Hell" are awesome.

    The movie shows how dynamic Brian Johnson's voice was in 1991.

    Angus puts on a great show, and Chris Slade's drum work is as good as it gets. This should be a must for any AC DC fan.

    No Razor's Edge

    I have the deluxe Live Album of the same concert and I watched this and was greatly saddened to see that the Live version of Razor's Edge was NOT included on the DVD.

    I was crushed but overall, one of the best concerts I have ever seen. You can feel the audience's reactions the best during the opening of Thunderstruck.

    Anghus Young plays the true axe-man role here and you can just see his seemingly endless energy here over and over again during every song! Amazing performance overall!

    10/10
