Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 71 Average rating: 4.5 "Thorough and Complete, yet lacking. " You will not find a more thorough documentation of ac/dc's TV appearances then on this set. Around forty songs altogether, which makes it a must for any ac/dc fan-- whether you're a diedhard or casual fan. It's great to see Bon's performances in the early days, but there are no TV interviews with Bon Scott or the rest the ac/dc gang on the DVD. It's strictly perfomance clips. Sure, it's the performances that are important, but alternative footage of the band would've rounded the DVD out nicely. Also the DVD is a bit pricey (It costs $40.00 Canadian!). Excellent (especially the "Long Way to the Top' video). Highly recommended, but you must see AC/DC live in concert. One of the best live shows I've ever seen! "Excellent Collection: Not the Definitive Set" This is a Superb collection of Bon Scott Period Songs, and of Brian Johnson period Songs. The audio on both discs is superb beyond belief; if you have a 5.1 sound system, you will definitely want to blast this set, and it sounds crystal clear. The Booklet is great, and the discs are layed in a case that does not hurt either disc, and is easy to remove and replace. About the only things on the discs I feel like commenting on are Disc 1's , LONG WAY TO THE TOP, which is a great song with Melbourne, Australia as a backdrop ( so you can see what a rat-hole it is .. Great view of Trams, which have been superceded by dangerous models ). On disc 2, WHO MADE WHO has lots of duplicate Angus's... except that you can see that they look more like Weird Al Yankovic in Angus's Stage clothes rather than Angus Clones Per se. Okay, there is one Singer that was around before Bon... and a Video of that song does exist; If I recall correctly, Bon did a superior version of the song later. So the statement that BABY PLEASE DON'T GO is some sort of Breakthrough song for the Band is not especially true...and the song is,in the video version, as I had understood it at the time, a knock at the host of the TV show they appeared on at the time. Anyways, this is a Great collection, hopefully more will surface. "AC/DC ROCKS 4 LIFE!" This is definitely better than the bonfire cd collection. Must have for rockers. "Great DVD" This is a great dvd! All The videos are awesome. If you like Ac/dc, you need to go out and pick this one up asap. "It ain't humid but it sure is hot!!! " Some things never change and some things never should. Both of these apply to ACDC who never compromised on the hard rockin' founding principles of the band. Angus once said "We've written the same song 100 different times". Fans would want it no other way. Disc one includes all of the Bon Scott years with some extremely rare videos, promos(live performance with the studio track layed over the live video) and 'real' live performances of all the hits. Worth the price of this set just to see Bon, Angus and the boys performing Long Way to the Top with all of their sound equiptment on the back of a flatbed accompanied by three guys in kilts plus Bon himslef all playing bagpipes!! Priceless. Long live Bon Scott. Disc two is mainly MTV Videos with maybe three or four live performances and promos but still worthwile for some rarely seen vidoeos. Don't hesitate to purchase this. 100 years from now people will still be listening to ACDC. They are among the top five most influential groups of all time and the 'meat and potatoes' of rock n roll music. Oy!!
