Don't get me wrong, I love AC/DC, which is why I bought the DVD. The concert is amazing, and that's the whole problem. The camera work and editing is so disjointed and frenetic, you never get to watch the band in action. The entire concert is filmed with switches between cameras almost as fast as the music, and I guess that is what the director was going for. But there is never focus on the band as a whole, or their interactions, let alone concentrating on any one member for more that 1 second.

Huge disappointment.

For those who haven't seen their live show before, No Bull shows that AC/DC puts on one of the best shows in the business. However, it still doesn't even come close to the energy displayed in many of their earlier performances. If you really want to see an amazing show, buy Let There Be Rock on VHS. In No Bull, Angus sounds great, but there's an obvious difference between Angus in his 20s (Let There be Rock) and Angus in his 40s (No Bull). Same goes for Brian, he puts on a good performance, but no where near his performances of the early to mid 80s....Still, this is a good show, so buy it if you like some of the newer stuff better, but for a jaw-dropping performance, with showmanship just not seen anymore, watch Let There Be Rock.

Does the director of this DVD suffer from A.D.D? The picture quality is very good...yes, the sound could be better, but HOLY COW, what's with cutting to a different camera angle every other second? I can see this one triggering an epileptic seizure faster than a strobe light! Guess I'll have to pick up "Live at Donington", and hope that the editing is less frenetic.

oh my god whre to start, ok the crowd, the spaniards are a crzy bunch and it is awe inspiring to watch 200000+ people jump in unison, the venue is the perfect venue, the songs are perfect, phil is back. what more could you want.
ps. this dvd is 10x better than live at donnington, donnington has no atmosphere beacuse the dumb editor decided to cut out almost all crowd noice, resulting in no atmosphere!

Well What can I say ? This DVD is the best its gonna get for the no Bonn Scott era. AC/DC rocks the house with this one. The sound and video are all top notch, the selection of songs is damn good. Im very happy with the over all flavor and feel of this DVD, it captures the raw electric feeling of AC/DC live. Angus Young sounds as good as he ever has, never missing a note or a change, while still making you feel like hes playing solos just for you. I must admit Brian Johnson sounds just fine on all the older tunes. If you want AC/DC live on DVD its not gonna get any better then this .............

It ROCKS!!! This video is so bad. It made me want to jump everywhere and go crazy. Get it even if it's the last thing you'll ever do.

IN RESPONSE OF A REVIEW THAT I JUST READ ABOUT THIS DVD, THE DOLBY DIGITAL TRACK IS 5.0, NOT 5.1. THIS MAKES YOU PRACTICALLY "BASSLESS" IF YOU HAVE A HOME THEATER WITH 5 SPEAKERS AND A SUBWOOFER, THIS LAST ONE WILL NOT SOUND AT ALL. HOWEVER YOU CAN FIX THIS LITTLE PROBLEM BY LISTENING TO THE 2.0 (STEREO) SOUND AND USE YOUR DOLBY PRO LOGIC DECODER ON THE HOME THEATER RECEIVER OR AMP, YOU'LL HAVE BEST SURROUND SOUND THIS WAY AND YOUR SUBWOOFER WILL DO HIS JOB VERY WELL.

AC/DC is a great band and anything they touch turns to gold,but, can sombody tell the camera men to let us look at one sceen for more than 5 seconds? I know they want to make it look exciting but AC/DC can do that by themselfs. Just set one camera with a zoom lens in the back and let me watch the confounded concert! P.H.

They might be a little older, and they might be going grey or loosing her, but there still belting out the loudest hard rocking sounds youve ever heard!

The show is great, a live perfromance from the Plaza Del Toros stadium in Spain... the thing missing tho is the footage of BEavis And Butthead that played before the show started.... but it kicks off from there with the craine reveing up and swinging around to knock down a wall built up on the stage, and then Angus runs out and the show begins! This is a show well worth having on DVD or VHS! It is no disapointment! and features a selection of there best work over the years, but theres never enough time to put every song onto a disc, because every AC/DC songs is great! but this selection of new and old is great!

Also comes with a feature of the making of the Hard As A Rock Video Clip with a bit of behind the scene stuff, and of corse the video clip to "Hard As A Rock"!

Only downfall is whoever did the subtitles in English really screwed up a few of the lyrics! Whats beeing said, was not what was written!

not only does this video have some great songs but it also has great props including a huge rosie balloon and a giant wrecking ball, and best of all is angus' 10-15 minute solo without any rythm guitar or drums, at one point in the solo he's elevated on a platform in the middle of the audience bottom line...... GREAT VIDEO
