Best Live DVD I've ever seen5
This really is tremendous stuff, and must still be very close to the benchmark for live rock DVDs. I've not seen much to rival this since it was done - over 15 years ago!!

Fantastic band, great songs, brilliant camera work and editting... the sound is perhaps a little weak, but then I guess you can boost it up depending what speaker set up you have.

Angus is a true guitar legend, but funnily enough the highlight for me is the rhythm break in "Let There Be Rock" when Angus is running round the back of the stage to do his solo in the crowd. Malcolm, Cliff and Chris Slade are left on the stage bathed in blue lights just pounding away. Its fantastic stuff - not many acts would have the balls to play a basic rhythm break for 4/5 mins in a live show.

This is far better than the No Bull, or Stiff Upper Lip DVDs for sure.

Genius, absolutely!5
Hello all. I must say I'm so glad I bought this - after some of the negative views by others who don't really know what they're talking about... on the question of over dubbing:

The only problem with the DVD is that there is a danger it is a bit over produced - too many cameras and angles, but this can be justified by the size of the stage and trying to cover all of the action (especially keeping track of Angus!)

The other thing to take into account is that these guys have been going 30 years and have developed such a unique and tight sound that it is often hard for people to believe that this is actually a LIVE! peformance (There would be huge legal implications for Sony/Epic if they used studio recordings - believe me, they just wouldn't do it! Especially with the laws on this sort of thing being tightened up)

Also, there are problems with bounce back from the gigantic speakers filling the park which means you'll occasionally get problems with camera angles and the sound matching up.

There have been comparisons with the Led Zeppelin DVD but this is impossible- the settings are completely different, the music is completely different etc etc but both prove that the bands of old just have something that bit extra than all of the current drossy, samey, weak stuff out today.

Angus is know as one of the best guitarists of our time (along with Page and Hendrix) because of the technical, note perfect everytime, genius riffs that he can play for hours on end without ever missing a beat - another reason that this isn't overdubbed.

This is a collosal DVD and well worth the money (disregard the nay-sayers) - It even got my old gran (she's 92) out of her wheelchair and through all of the arthritic pain - she was goose stepping and head banging along with Angus! Sure, I had to call the ambulance afterward, but she had a smile on her face as she was being stretchered out. Young and old, all will enjoy!

AC/DC Live at Donnington4
I had to buy this DVD because I was there! I would've given this 5 stars had it not been for the dubiousness of the 'live' sound. However this recording really does capture the excitement and sheer joy of Messers Young et al leaping onstage and assaulting our senses with 2 hours of fantastic rock making me forget my sunburn and not mind at all when the night turned cool and drizzly. The sound is great, but live it was excellent. Still this is the next best thing to seeing the greatest live rock band in the world (without the damp grass and Metallica fans). I would like to heartily recommend it.
