dalsh327 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Wonder what took so long to put it out. It's up for presale on Warners website.I'm pretty sure they're going to do a one night theatrical showing of this, because they did it when "Song Remains the Same" was released on Blu Ray, also released by Warners.

batman007 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Good stuff! I went to go see AC/DC a couple of years ago and they blew the roof off the arena. Side note... I have been to a couple of forums of Ac/dc and they bitch about the setlists, just like the baby cryiers on this forum who bitch. Just enjoy the show and shut up. Or just dont go.

Jumpin' Jack Flash Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 This thread has reminded me of how many absolute live gems AC/DC has that haven't been released properly, especially from the early Brian years...the band was at its absolute fucking wildest at that point imo..especially '83-'85 in terms of antics and shit. However, performance-wise '81 and up until FoTW they were bloody brilliant.I hope one day...one cold day in hell...Largo '81 is released properlyhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuSWsLYdFywhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFLjFboJdPQ&feature=relatedIf ya haven't seen this acca dacca gig, you ain't seen shit.

It's up for presale on Warners website.I'm pretty sure they're going to do a one night theatrical showing of this, because they did it when "Song Remains the Same" was released on Blu Ray, also released by Warners.I forget if it was Angus or Malcolm who said before that the reason it wasn't out was because the original master tapes of the video were lost/destroyed and thus would prevent a true restoration and they didn't want to give the fans something that wasn't decent quality.Either they found a decent master of it or finally realized that the fans don't care if the quality isn't totally perfect. I mean, look at some of the stuff that was released on Plug Me In - some of that footage was hardly the greatest quality but it's still awesome to see and nice to have on DVD.My VHS copy of Let There Be Rock is hardly in the best shape (the cover has been chopped up and stuck in one of those plastic rental boxes, it was the cheapest one on eBay way back when I got it) so I couldn't be happier that it's finally coming to DVD & Blu Ray. I'll definitely be picking up the Blu Ray box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The '80 and '81 shows are, bar none, my favorite period in AC/DC history. And flame me if you want, but during that period, Brian Johnson blew Bon out of the water in terms of performance.

Zint Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'm thinking they must have found a good print if they are bothering with a blu-ray transfer.Fuck man I still love the VHS so anything must be an improvement!!I'm quite stoked for this!

A couple years ago I would have been satisfied with them making a transfer directly from the VHS to DVD - just to have the damn thing on DVD!Now to hear that they're even doing a Blu Ray, that's awesome! It'll be nice to see this gem in top quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
