Disco de AC/DC: “AC/DC Live [Collector's Edition]”

This was one of the best purchases I ever made in the CD department. I have contemplated the purchase of more AC/DC albums, but I always find that I decide I have enough AC/DC as it has all the greats and then some. I am a casual fan obviously, and I truly think that unless you really love the band, you'll be plenty happy with this amount.

Its true. Some may say it was in 1980 but they are wrong. It was in 1992. These guys were fresh off their extensive tour that backed the 1990 RAZORS EDGE album that tore everything up. This may be considered AC/DC's finest tour ever (unless you are like me and completley loyal to BON-but still, I think this was a damn incredible tour, as far as this disc proves.)

The early nineties don't get credited for it but I think it was the time when ROCK really reigned supreme. Every type of rock, old, new, grunge, hair, metal.... It all came together, and at the helm was AC/DC.

BRIAN JOHNSON (although he fronted BACK IN BLACK) still had never earned the respect of most BON SCOTT fans until this live album came out. This is where he proved that he could do the BON songs justice SIN CITY, WHOLE LOTTA ROSIE, LET THERE BE ROCK, just to name a few.

The band also busted out some of the not-so-killer eighties material in a new loud and ass crunching style THATS THE WAY I WANT MY ROCK AND ROLL and HEATSEEKER.. check those out.

And not to mention the blazing tracks just turn it up several more notches and the energy is CRAAAAAAZY on everything.

AC/DC weren't getting old in '92, it sounded like they were just getting ready!

This collectors set is key. DO NOT get the single disc, they should take it off the marrket now that this one is available.. IT has so much more stuff, and when you realize how GOOD it really is.. you will understand.

I bitch a lot about how AC/DC screws the american consumers; on this album though.. they did us solid, god bless.

When I bought this cd, i had already been an acdc fan, but i wasn't very in to them. Then i popped this cd into my sterio and i was immediatly hooked by the incredible guitar playing and chanting of thunderstruck. I kept listening to find the best guitar playing you could possibly hear, and just the sheer power of acdc live. I had listend to there recorded stuff before, but it was nothing in comparison to acdc live. The recorded music seemed bland compared to this. Here is a list of the top 5 tracks from each disk.

-Thunderstruck(track 1, disk 1) an incredible start to the album.

-Back in Black(track 3, dist 1) i can't get enough of this song.

-Sin City(track 4, disk 1) Johnson hits the volcals perfectly. the guitar solo blows me away.

-Who made who(track 5, disk 1) great song. Period.

-Money Talks(track 12, disk 1) more melodic than most of there songs. The chorus is so great though.

-Hells Bells(track 1, disk 2) One of the greatset works of acdc. Sounds soooo good live.

-You shook me all night long(track 5, disk 2) A melodic masterpiece of heavy rock.

-Highway to Hell(track 9, disk 2) I simply love this one.

-TNT(track 10, disk 2) My favorite acdc song. The crowd chanting Oui! gives the song a great feel

-For those about to rock(track 11, disk 2) A great end to a great cd.

If you are reading this reveiw you are taking to long. Go buy this cd!!!

This double live album was release after recording it on their highly successful "Razor's edge" tour. AC/DC was at another high point with the release of that album, and they cashed in big with this awesome live set. Brian johnson tears it up, and angus is kicking away as usual on guitar. Classic AC/DC capturing their live spirit, You must have two disc version for any fan. For Bon scott era Live music, pick up the Bonfire box set. You get 3 Bon Scott live albums, a rare/demo disc, and Back in back, a great value.

If you want a studio album, go buy one. This is a great representation of their Concerts, granted not quite as ear shattering as the real thing. If you've never been to one of their concerts, this is as close as you'll get on cd, turn the lights out, crank these cd's up and imagine Angus jumping around on stage in his school boy outfit sweeting like a pig.

The one imporvement over the live show is that you can actually hear Brain sing(well that could be good or bad depending on your view)

And you even get one of the Angus $ bills from the Razor's edge tour in the double set.
