Moneytalks (promo clip, 1990) * 20. Are You Ready (promo clip, 1991) * Number of discs: 2 Editorial Reviews Amazon.com Although this compilation ends fifteen years before its 2005 release, the double disc video summation of AC/DCs colorful career from 1975-1990 is a bonanza for fans and an education for newcomers. Like fellow boogie veterans ZZ Top, these clips range from acceptable to embarrassingly dated, but through it all AC/DCs intensity and trooper status remain intact. Conveniently divided with 20 videos on each platter that split the bands two vocalists (Disc 1, the Bon Scott era and Disc 2, the Brian Johnson years), this is a frills-free, no extras rundown of a journeyman outfit whose roaring blues rock hasnt noticeably changed over the years. Still, lead guitarist Angus Youngs Chuck Berry on amphetamines duck walk, and the groups thunderous, riff-happy sound remains a force of rock and roll nature, impervious to trends or fads. There are some disappointing moments--the "Fly On The Wall" mini-movie of five tunes joined by a silly storyline with bad dancing, worse acting and substandard animation can charitably be considered a failed experiment--but the powerhouse energy of the Australian rockers never lags even in its weakest video moments. This treasure trove of rare television appearances, promo clips and assorted odds and ends isnt as much fun as seeing the group live, but delivers a history lesson along with a knockout, 2 ½ hour punch thats nearly as potent. Hal Horowitz Description Its always been quite rare to see AC/DC - unless you go to their concerts. Television appearances, and later music videos, have always been a necessary evil to this band of nononsense rockers. Consequently, only their early years were documented on television - mostly in Australia and Europe - and when the time came to switch to promotional video clips, the band always made their own and gave them the appearance of a live show. But theyve also never wasted an opportunity to make a big statement with their clips. From singer Bon Scott dressing like a school girl (to Angus Youngs school boy) and smoking(!) on their first major television appearance, to the giant rocking spectacle of the "Big Gun" video (with guest appearance by Arnold Schwarzenegger), AC/DC has always been larger than life and their timeless brand of rock and roll has been as big on screen as it has off. Now for the first time Epic Records is proud to announce the first ever compilation of AC/DC videos from all parts of their storied career. Starting in 1975 on Australian TVs Countdown show through the Spanish TV clips filmed just ten days before Bon Scotts death - the first great era of the band is chronicled on Disc One. Disc Two starts with the promo videos for Back In Black (several never before available) and sees many of the 80s and 90s clips on DVD for the first time. This is truly a monumental collection of clips from one of the worlds greatest bands - all completely remastered for DVD with the same care as the Epic CD remasters and the Live At Donington DVD.

Audible Nectar Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I want this for the Bon Scott footage alone. I'm looking forward to ckecking this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelman Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 No but thanks! I am a bigtime ac/dc Bon Scott era fan. Does it come with Bon Scott concert footage? I see promo everywhere, but dont' understand if that's just those stupid teasers. I would freak if it didn't have Bon playing a whole song and many of them. I don't know what ac/dc is thinking of if they have Bon on film. Retirement? Because they would make a killing with a full on Bon concert.

Fish Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Wheel,nice portrait.I generally buy new concert dvd's as soon as the become available but this one has me puzzled.I don't want the "80s" videos or alot of yakin' about the band etc..If I thought this had lots of good Bon vintage footage I'd already have bought it,but prolly will anyway sooner or later.

wheelman Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Thanks Fish I should pm you about the artist. Well I just got done reading every amazon review of it. It looks like it would be worth it for disc 1 nothing against Brian. I think he shined on live at Donnington (that was in his hayday). I like amazons shipping prices 2.50 I think for a dvd, and it arrives quickly. With the price of gas nowadays that's a steal especially when you live far from town or a city just to get a dvd ( you better get some grub while your at it) But reading the reviews I wouldn't expect killer sound it's 2 channel almost mono the important stuff anyways. I would own it just for the Bon stuff and archiving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale A B Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I picked this one up the week it was released for $10 @ BB, and if you are a video nut, you'll get a kick out of this. I am a Bon fan also, and would rather see "Let There Be Rock - The Movie - Live In Paris" reissued on dvd - with real "live" Bon Scott in all his glory. The 2 disc audio CD of this concert is in the AC/DC Bonfire boxset. I must admit to absolutely loving the 1st video, Baby Please Don't Go, which has Bon dressed up as a school girl (and not a bad looking one either). Freakin' hilarious. I guess if you get sick of the videos, you can still just listen to the 40 songs in any case, especially if found on sale.

Joe Shmoe Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I picked it up... pretty good. The first disc is pre 1980 & the 2nd disc is post 1980. Basically mostly all videos, but a decent package in all I would say... worth the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grateful11 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Saw them live in Greensboro, NC on the "Highway To Hell" Tour in '79. I'm thinking they had Molly Hatchet and Mother's Finest with them, could be wrong though. I see Circuit City has this DVD for $16 no bad. Now if I could just find that '79 concert T-shirt.

Dave_H Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 My son went to see then in (Toronto, Montreal, wherever) a couple of years ago and all I got was a T-shirt Dave H Forgot to mention - we are both huge fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
