5.0 out of 5 stars
The perfect AC/DC album for non-AC/DC fans,
By Ulysses Lateiner (Somerville, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Live (Audio CD)
I'll start this out by saying that if you are a serious AC/DC fan, or own more than one of their albums already, you really don't need this album... it doesn't contain any rarities, and most of the songs sound almost exactly like the studio versions (with the obvious exception of the crowd noise). Plus if you're a fan, you've probably seen the band live in concert already! Therefore, you're not really adding much to your collection (or your AC/DC experience) by buying this. However, if you're like me and like AC/DC's classic hits, but don't really consider yourself enough of a fan to buy their regular albums, this is a gift from heaven! Wrapped up into one album, we have almost all of AC/DC's radio hits... the only notably absent songs, in my opinion, are Shot Down in Flames, and Big Balls (which is sort of a joke anyway). But you can't blame them for not including EVERYTHING, the album is over 70 minutes long already! But it gets better; not only is it full of classic tunes, the songs are performed quite faithfully, with the additional energy of the crowd and the band feeding into the experience without detracting from the music itself. It's good enough already, but compared to many other live albums, such as Nirvana's From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah, where the performances are low quality and the din of the crowd is deafening, this is no less than a masterpiece. Two of the songs, Heatseeker and The Jack, might not be immediately familiar to weekend AC/DC fans, but they're so catchy that after a few listens, you'll love them just as much as the old favorites like Thunderstruck, Moneytalks, and You Shook Me All Night Long. My only gripe about this album is that there's a bit too much of a delay between songs, but that's hardly significant in the face of its strengths: a non-stop chain of beloved rock classics, faithfully performed with energy and excitement by the band, with just the right amount of crowd noise mixed in. For anyone who likes AC/DC's singles, but is hesitant to buy an AC/DC studio album just for the one or two well-known songs it contains... well, this is everything you could ask for! Buy it!

AC/DC - 'Live' (Atlantic),
By
This review is from: Live (Audio CD)
Wasn't there like two(2)different versions of this live album put out?Yes,'Live' was a long-awaited release and the only reason I give it a four star rating instead of five is the fact that there is a gap of silence between each and every song.Why don't record companies just make a/any live recording sound as if it came from JUST one show?I love it when a live CD has that going for it.Total of fourteen tunes that were recorded from the band's 'Razer's Edge' world tour 1990-91.Tracks that I enjoyed reliving again and again were their memorable opener "Thunderstruck","Back In Black","Shoot To Thrill","Whole Lotta Rosie"(one of my personal all time favorites),"You Shook Me All Night Long","TNT" and their traditional encore number "For Those About To Rock".One reason that I may not be going ga-ga over this CD is that I've recently located an import(bootleg,maybe?)of a 2-CD titled 'Berlin,2003' and that thing totally rips!!

Okay live album,
By
This review is from: Live (Audio CD)
AC/DC Live is an okay live album that while containing most of their classics suffers from extensive overdubbing and isn't completely representative of their best work. The performances also lack the fire of their first live album, If You Want Blood, You've Got It.The album contains their best and most popular tracks from 1979 to 1990 such as the hard-rock classics "Back in Black", "Hells Bells", "For Those About To Rock", "Highway Hell", "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap", and "You Shook Me All Night Long." It also includes the strongest tracks from The Razor's Edge album, "Thunderstruck" and "Moneytalks." It also contains "The Jack" and "Whole Lotta Rosie", which are great tracks, but there are better versions on If You Want Blood, You've Got It. The only songs from their late-80s albums are an excellent version of "Heatseeker" and "Who Made Who." There are no tracks here from the Flick Of The Switch and Fly On The Wall albums which is unfortunate because tracks like "Sink The Pink" and "This House Is On Fire" would have made this album stronger and more definitive. The 2-disc version of this album is a little better but contains too many tracks from The Razor's Edge album and only one track from two of their best albums Highway To Hell and For Those About To Rock. I'd recommend this to fans who want the greatest hits because most of them are here. But the album sounds way too much polished in the studio and could have been a stronger song collection.
