Live At River Plate captures the intensity and power of the band’s critically acclaimed world tour in support of their most recent album Black Ice, which debuted at #1 in 31 countries. The Black Ice World tour took AC/DC on a 20 month trek around the globe playing to over 5 million fans in 108 cities in over 28 countries. The Black Ice World Tour earned AC/DC a Pollstar Award for Major Tour of the Year in 2010.

** Shake Verdict** Over the last few years there has been a huge influx of DC’ Dvd’s onto the market, which if you are a fan ain’t no bad thing, especially if like me you still have dusty VHS tapes with clips recorded off tv which are poor in quality and in sound, but at the time you got what you could. The ‘Family Jewels’ dvd kicked off a whole new desire to be able to crank the Young brothers up and witness scene’s most of us had never seen…

Many would argue that AC/DC were/are best witnessed ‘Live’ and we have had the ‘Donington’ and ‘No Bull’ sets (both of which i own) and just around the corner is ‘Let There Be Rock’ but right here, right now we have a concert film of the band in River Plate Stadium in the capital city of Argentina, taken from the ‘Black Ice’ world tour, and we get quite a few tracks from the latest and greatest DC’ album. Two hours of the ‘Thunder From Down Under’ playing to a huge sold out crowd and still at the top of their game after all these years, if rock is dead, nobody told AC/DC…

The Brian Vs Bon debate will rage on forever, Fuck that shit, Bon is dead, deal with it, we miss him, we loved him, he was incredible, but Brian is alive and kicking, the man has a voice to die for and still gives his all and delivers every single time and here at River Plate it’s no exception, Phil, Cliff & Malcolm provide a backing rhythm section that’s still second to none, they have a groove that’s like the needle on the record, once down it’s faultless and grabs you by all the right places… Then there is Angus… What can I say that hasn’t, nothing… This is one of the greatest guitar players ever… Up there with Clapton, Page, Halen, Iommi and all the rest, arguments may rage that he can’t do what they do, well my answer would be, let me see them do what he does…

Is this better than the donington or madrid sets? it depends on if you were there, or saw them on the specific tour, for me it’s far superior to the no bull one because of the tracklisting and vibe of the band, and the Black Ice album is one of my favorite albums from the band ever, it’s not as good as Donington, because that day was special, the band were so on fire and i was there, but then in one definitive way it’s better because this is a better line up, having Phil Rudd behind that kit for me is the major difference, like Charlie in the stones, no other drummer has ever fitted like a glove in DC’ Simon was good, Chris was good, but Phil is the man!

I guess it’s another ‘Ronseal’ AC/DC release, it’s live, they kill it, the sound is amazing, the cowd is outstanding, south america loves to rock, ‘it does exactly what it says on the tin’. if you love DC’ then you will buy this regardless, if you love rock, buy it anyway if only to see a band that’s been kicking in the door with boogie blues for almost 40 years doing it better and bigger than most… I salute them xxx Jj
