Superb performance by one of the best hard rockers ever! The best live recording of the band, even better than Let There Be Rock. Angus Young's (lead guitarist) guitar techniques have been perfected and he is still young enough to fly low around the stage as a winged duck... Brian Johnson's (lead singer) high pitched voice works unexceptionable and his performance are as eminent as Angus'. Steady and tight performance by Malcolm Young (rhythm guitar), Cliff Williams (bass) and Chris Slade (drums). It's a huge party with lightning music. This is AC/DC at their peak. The filming is a chapter of its own. Filmed in 35 mm with 26 cameras it documents AC/DC's performance perfectly. Cameras are placed among the audience, in a helicopter and underneath the stage filming through Plexiglas... The sound is also perfect, far better than for example the No Bull concert. The only thing a real AC/DC fan would miss, is Phil Rudd's (drummer of AC/DC until 1983 and again from 1995)laid-back drumming, but Chris Slade is doing great in his own furious style. A real must-see for all AC/DC fans and others who wants to watch a perfect timed and spectacular concert with a rare trustworthy performance.

There weren't many well filmed gigs in the late 80s/early 90s, and this one does manage to capture a lot of the feeling of being there.
This concer is probably one of the best to be released on DVD!
The sound quality is fantastic. Each song comes through with great clarity.
You get to see Angus run a full marathon from one side of the stage to the other. He kicks out a solo for each of the songs, His solo on Jalibreak is probably one of the best!
The set list is very good consisting of all their great songs.

I've had the DVD for awhile and watched it several times on a 46" screen, and it was great.
Now, I have a 70" Sony and with the accompanying Bose system, it's as if I were at Donington.
The live version of "High Voltage" is one of the truly underrated hard rock songs of all time.
"Hells Bells," "Thunderstruck," "Highway to Hell" are awesome.
The movie shows how dynamic Brian Johnson's voice was in 1991.
Angus puts on a great show, and Chris Slade's drum work is as good as it gets. This should be a must for any AC DC fan.

This is a great portrayal of what a good rock concert should be like. Full of energy, lots of good tunes, and filmed on 35mm film, it is truly inspiring. I wish all shows could be this good. Long live AC/DC!
