This is one of my first purchases through Americancivilwar for music i personally like. The sound is very good and clear. I'm very satisfied with this option of buying my favourite music.

I'VE BEEN THUNDERSTUCKED!!!!! |
This is an AWESOME cd. AC/DC really knows how to please their fans and this LIVE cd is no exception. The song collection was great and they were very good choices. Brian Johnson did a great job with the vocals and Angus was just pheonomenal as always on lead guitar. If your an AC/DC fan then you're nuts if you don't already have this cd, and thats the truth. Other rock fans should get this as well. OUT OF THIS WORLD!
I highly recommend on getting this cd. |

If you like AC/DC this is a no brainer; unless of course you don't like live performace recordings in general of any artist. |

This refers to the double CD limited edition version... |
This review refers to the double CD version. It has extra songs, most notably: "Sin City", "Jailbreak" and "Let There Be Rock". I would recommend purchasing that over the single CD version. You can't really replace Bon Scott for the songs that he did, but we must remember that Johnson is great for what he did in the band and he's still the one singing on ACDC's best selling CD to date, "Back in Black"... Johnson does well, in all fairness on covering the Scott tunes, but his voice is a lot different, much more shrill, but just as unique. Bottom line, Johnson is GREAT live and loses nothing of the power that is conveyed on the studio recordings. All band members are TIGHT and this CD is a high budget production with quality of sound. I didn't think Johnson could possibly sing that way live, but he does!
The only drawback is that some great songs were overlooked on this. There is nothing represented from "Flick of the Switch". I know that one was one of the worst selling CD's (even though all of their CD's did well), but they should really have included "Rising Power" and also from the CD "For Those About To Rock" they should have done "Let's Get It Up". That would have made this CD as perfect as it could have been with Brian Johnson on vocals. Nevertheless, there aren't any other glaring omissions and I don't think anyone who is a fan of the band can really argue it's five star rating! |

One of the Live Greats **** |
This CD hasn't been recieved well in ANY circle; critics despise it, fans overlook it. The CD has fared best amongst the uninitiated, which was me back in 1992. My first three CD's were purchased at almost the same time: Metallica's "Black Album," Aerosmith's "Get a Grip," and AC/DC's "Live." I still love all those albums. It puzzles me that "Live" gets very little respect considering the high quality of the band's material. "Thunderstruck" is better live than on the "Razor's Edge." "Who Made Who" live is a total classic. "TNT" is very different from Bon's version, but not inferior. Sure, the "Back in Black" material is not as good as the original stuff, but the same is not true for the mid-80's-through-1990 songs.
Perhaps everyone is partial to the first incantation they remember from the band. A good majority of the fans, swear by Bon Scott's 70s version of AC/DC (something I've never been partial to). Many prefer Brian Johnson's 80s band. And both of those camps tend to ridicule the post 1991 stuff, myself included. After this album there was the Last Action Hero Soundtrack and a couple albums with three-star material at best. Then again, if that were true, "Live" captures AC/DC at the end of their stride, not their peak. Ahh, for me none of that matters. I think we're all fond of the first album we ever hear by a band, and this was mine for AC/DC. This is how I remember them.
Overall: 8 out of 10. |
