Up until 1992, AC/DC’s only official live album was 1978’s IF YOU WANT BLOOD…YOU’VE GOT IT, which featured the late Bon Scott on vocals. LIVE marked the first appearance of lead singer Brian Johnson on an in-concert collection. The album was recorded during the lengthy tour that supported the band’s hit RAZOR’S EDGE release.

More recent singles like “Thunderstruck,” “Money Talks,” and “Heatseeker” are featured, as well as four tracks from the band’s classic BACK IN BLACK album—the title track, “You Shook Me All Night Long,” “Hell’s Bells,” and “Shoot to Thrill.” What makes LIVE interesting are the Bon Scott-era songs that Johnson handles exceptionally well—“The Jack,” “Dirty Deeds,” “Whole Lotta Rosie,” “Highway to Hell,” and “TNT.” Add to it a couple of other ’80s nuggets, “Who Made Who” and “For Those About to Rock,” and you have an excellent, straight-to-the-point document of one of the greatest live bands ever.

What the critics say…

Entertainment Weekly (10/30/92, p.86) – “..If you can keep your head from twitching after the likes of `You Shook Me All Night Long,’ you’re either old, in the way, or one of the band’s schoolmarms..” – Rating: B+
Q (12/92, p.115) – 4 Stars – Excellent – “…great stuff…heads-down, full-tilt rock & roll…awesome…”
