Watch AC/DC: Live At Donington For Free

Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

If you want to rock out to one of the best rock bands ever then this is a must purchase. AC/DC is a band that always knows what it's fans want and then gives it to them. This is a live concert DVD with one of AC/DC's with plenty of high energy and excitement that you've come to associated with AC/DC concerts. Angus Young works the crowd like only he can. From the very beginning to the very end of the concert the energy level never lets up.Brian Johnson voice fits well with earlier Bonn Scott(the original singer of AC/DC) songs like "Jailbreak", "Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be", "Highway To Hell", "The Jack", "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap". The concert features a lot of songs from the Razor's Edge album which was new at the time with songs like "Thunderstruck" and "Fire Your Guns". There are the usual songs such as "Back In Black", "You Shook Me All Night Long", "Hells Bells", "Shoot To Thrill".

Although nearly half a million fans turned out at Downsview in Toronto in 2003 to see the headlining act -- The Rolling Stones -- all anyone talked about after the show was AC/DC, and how they pretty much blew all the other acts off the stage. That's got to tell you SOMETHING, and this DVD goes a long way toward explaining why that was so: it certainly shows the Thunder From Down Under at their hard-rocking best. Angus Young is (as always) a treat to watch. Not only is his guitar technique almost supernaturally skillful, his whole "slightly whacko" schick (e.g. his "seizure" during that extended guitar solo) is just so entertaining! And the sound... ohmygoodness. You crank up the Dolby 5.1 on a good sound system and you'll FEEL it in your gut, that's a personal guarantee. Oh yes, this is the way concerts SHOULD be recorded. (And isn't it great they performed Jailbreak? That's a kick-ass AC/DC classic that doesn't get anywhere NEAR enough air-play, in my opinion.) I think my only complaint about this concert is that a lot of Brian Johnson's between-song banter seems to me to be awfully forced and insincere. But hey, a guy that can sing like that doesn't NEED to do a lot of talking...

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.SET LIST:THUNDERSTRUCKSHOOT TO THRILLBACK IN BLACKHELL AIN'T A BAD PLACE TO BEHEATSEEKERFIRE YOUR GUNSJAILBREAKTHE JACKDIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAPMONEYTALKSHELLS BELLSHIGH VOLTAGEWHOLE LOTTA ROSIEYOU SHOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONGT.N.T.LET THERE BE ROCKHIGHWAY TO HELLFOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK (WE SALUTE YOU)I would strongly recommend this video to any AC/DC fan who does not have it. I would also recommend it for any new AC/DC fan who has just gotten into listening to the band.

That is the best explanation for this video and the band themselves. The camera goes back and forth. It zooms in and out. This is not very exciting, except for that classic cannon fire, but the band makes up for it. AC/DC plays a variety of older material and tracks from their newer album, The Razor's Edge. Brian Johnson prowls the stage doing his best to make up for the absence of Bon Scott, while Angus Young works his Chuck Berry homage as only he can. All nineteen songs fly by, played with the power that makes several of them classics and the rest giddy confections. This is either a fine treat for lovers of this recent inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or a fine introduction to one of the greatest of the last quarter century.
