I'm not a big fan of the group - and actually have only heard a few songs by them. Personally I prefer the audio versions of the songs on the album to seeing the group move around the stage. That said, this is about the fifth title in the "Under Review" series I've covered and, though I was hesitant at first, since the packaging make it look like one of those "unauthorized biography" DVDs flooding the market, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and variety of the journalists who give their opinions on EACH TRACK on an album. It's nice that at least some video footage is included for those who are not familiar with the track. (Quality of the "music video" footage varies greatly depending on the source - usually European TV since these UR DVDs are originally UK produced.)

Viewers will ALWAYS disagree with the opinions presented since the producers found journalists with opposing opinions. But points are will made.

No, this is not a MUST HAVE for every music fan but those who own the album on CD (or vinyl!) will definitely find worth taking the 75 minutes or so to watch.

Review by Tommy Tandori, 2008-02-05

I would doubt if the other reviewer here has actually seen this dvd, as his claim it doesn't include any ac/dc music or footage is wholly incorrect, it actaully contains lots, and the interviews with Bon and Angus, which i've never seen before, are first class. The film includes clips of every track on the album, quite a lot of interviews with band members, and contributions from Tony Platt [who co-produced the album with Mutt Lange], Bon's biographer Clinton Walker, Bon's long time friend and former bandmate, Vincent Lovegrove and, yes, Malcolm Dome's in there too, but speaking intelligently and with authority, and it would appear he's not only met the band on several occasions, but stays in touch and knows more about them than anyone else here [he's one of the most respected rock journlists around]. There's lots of others too, and this is one of the best documentaries ive seen on the group - if you're a real fan I would recommend a purchase.

Prepare yourself for yet another unofficial DVD of Malcolm Domes bald head and buckteeth bobbing around on camera with a stupid smile saying, "AC/DC are the best, AC/DC rock, and Highway To Hell was the best album ever, and AC/DC sucked after this album, and Brian Johnson does not exsist, and I have never actually met AC/DC but I claim to know everything there is to know about them and here we are ripping you off with no official AC/DC music, no official AC/DC footage and nothing but our opinions about AC/DC, which you can get for free asking any other AC/DC fan around the world"

save your money for REAL AC/DC, not people who THINK they know about AC/DC, but, have never been close enough to the band to smell one of Angus' farts on stage.
