Amazon.co.uk Review
Since exploding out of Sydney, Australia in 1973, AC/DC have been at the very forefront of heavy metal. Built around the central core of Glaswegian-born brothers Malcolm and Angus Young, whose brutal dual guitar assaults almost immediately set the rock world aflame, the band's awesome live battery has since passed into legend. AC/DC's stock in trade, a simplistic and uncluttered blend of fundamental rock & roll riffs and deliciously amoral licentiousness, has gradually come to exemplify the metal ideal, and the blistering stage performances captured herein show exactly why. The precision holocaust of "Highway to Hell", blazing ferocity of "Let There Be Rock" and immense triumphalism of "For Those About To Rock" are visceral sonic power incarnate. As Angus slashes forth elemental chords and struts the stage in his trademark school uniform, Brian Johnson roars himself ragged and bellows the crowd into abject submission. Mayhem has never sounded more glorious. --Ian Fortnam

 Dead not Live September 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a bloody disappointing album. I bought this thinking it was going to capture the full on raw power of AC/DC but it totally fails.
The biggest problem is that unlike the majority of live albums that are edited to flow like a proper gig, this mess sees each track fade in and out so that the energy and excitement one expects never materialises. It simply fails to gel at all and just becomes totally boring. Why was this done? It is for radio idiot DJ's who are incapable of cueing up a track? Oh yes, and Brian Johnson can't sing either. A truly horrible experience. Stick to "If You Want Blood...".
Not A Patch On "If You Want Blood....." April 5, 2007

I'm afraid that, having bought this recently in reliance on the reviews on this site, ripped it to my MP3 Player, and listened to it over several tube journeys, I am disappointed. The whole thing lacks the bite, attack and energy of the earlier "If you Want Blood....." It's all too polite, too well mannered, and too well produced, - almost bland. I'm going to give it an airing on the stereo over the weekend, but unless the wider sound afforded here adds something truly extra, this one may well be taking a trip over the the Record Exchange in Camden to be traded in. Is this just the difference between the Bonn Scott era band and the later version, or a touch of over production?

This album was a major disappointment for me, a longtime AC/DC fan. It falls way short of the classic 'If you want blood...' album. Brian Johnson's singing (screeching?) becomes more irritating with each song. The sound has that horrible sanitised and distant feel to it. Worse of all however is the wretched 'For those About To Rock....'. If you want live AC/DC stick to 'If you want Blood.....', a flawless classic by a band at its musical peak.....
 WE SALUTE YOU February 14, 2007

AC/DC have been playing hard and ruthless for over 30 years now, and to date, they still haven't released a Best Of compilation. However, so great is their reputation for slaying live audiences that, even when that compilation finally does arrive, this double live album may remain the best first purchase for new fans.
'Live - Collectors Edition' combines recordings from several AC/DC shows in 1991, but primarily concentrates on their appearance at that year's 'Monsters of Rock' festival, which ruled the UK from 1980-1996 as the biggest, baddest event on the rock 'n' roll calendar. In '91, Castle Donington shook to the sounds of Metallica and Motley Crue, and at the top of the bill, ready to blast 72,500 fans to kingdom come, were AC/DC. 'The Razor's Edge', the album which preceded this tour, featured their best work since 'Back In Black' 10 years earlier, and gave them several great new additions to an already devastating arsenal including 'Whole Lotta Rosie', 'Let There Be Rock' and 'You Shook Me All Night Long'. To these, Angus Young adds a couple of extravagantly extended face-melting guitar solos, and the brief but touching tribute to Bon Scott entitled 'Bonny' (a guitar lick based on the traditional Scottish ballad 'The Bonnie Banks O' Loch Lomond'). The audio quality throughout the record is superb - vocals and instruments are crisp and clear, and the audiences remain loud and proud in the mix.
If you're especially lucky, you may find a custom-made Angus Young banknote tucked away inside the sleeve of 'Live - Collectors Edition' (I still have mine!). With or without this little bonus, though, if you want some high voltage rock 'n' roll, this is where you come and get it.
an amazing live album April 14, 2006

when I listened to this recently I was blown away, because of AC/DC's stage presence you feel as if you are there at the concert, I would usually suggest to people that when starting listening to a band not to start with a live album but this is an exception, it contains soem of AC/DC's most popular and best songs, an absolute must
