 IF YOU WANT MOTT YOU GOT ITSep 10, 2001
By Kim Fletcher
The ultimate live 'Rock 'n' Roll' album - bar none, no arguments. This album is like a big, everlasting bone, that should be gnawed at in a frenzy, then buried and dug up every time there's a party or the pack are going out.
This is heavy rock as it's supposed to sound, loud, dangerous, tongue in cheek, and right in your face.
The opening guitar damage of "Riff Raff" comes straight out your speakers, dragging you round the walls like a sledgehammer with claws. "If you want blood" captures AC / DC in their rebellious prime. Angus Young rushing round the stage like an electrocuted school kid with it all to prove.
The school boy image sometimes hides the fact that Angus is one of the finest Rock 'n' Roll guitarists to hit the boards, you can almost hear him moon the audience in "Bad Boy Boogie".
The late, great Bon Scott tells stories as only he could, leaving nothing to the imagination, even in the song titles. Try "The Jack" or "Whole Lotta Rosie". The rhythm section of Angus's elder brother, "Malcolm", the absurdly hardrockin "Cliff Williams" & old Thundersticks himself, "Phil Rudd" don't let up for a second and you don't want them too either. What makes this mongrel's hair stand on end is half way through "Problem Child", Angus turns it up to eleven and sends the crowd onto another plain of ecstasy.
By the final conclusion of "The Rocker", you look round and your air guitar is in pieces and so are you.
This album was recorded in 1978. A year later Bon Scott left us and AC / DC were never the same. Good yes, this good never. If you haven't got an AC / DC album, get this, forget the rest.
Mott the Dog.

ROCKIN'Feb 17, 2000
By CanniBull
This is totally mandatory rock. Bon's vocals sound better than ever, Malcolm keeps it fast and loud, speedy rythms by you-know-who, and Angus's guitar solos are just PHENOMINAL."Let there be rock" sounds WAY better live than it does in the studio, same with "Rocker". At maximum volume, there are few bands that can provide such a head-bangin', foot-tappin', finger-snappin', flat out ROCKIN' expeience as does AC/DC, album after album after album...

AC/DC LIVE in 1978 is simply AWESOME!Mar 10, 2000
What makes this CD a classic for every AC/DC fan is the raw hungry energy that is unleashed upon the audience. Recorded on the band's 1978 World Tour, this live recording has ear splitting guitar work from Angus, and features Bon Scott at his drunken best. Angus's SG is absolutely on FIRE! Specific classic's on this one are BAD BOY BOOGIE, HIGH VOLTAGE, and THE JACK. An absulute must for the guitar listener. You just don't hear live albums like this anymore!

one of the best live albums everNov 03, 1999
This is one of the best live albums ever. All the songs sound a lot more intense than in their previous studio versions. The riffs just rock non-stop and Bon Scott growls better than he ever had before. This album rocks harder than almost anything else that had been produced up to this point, including most punk rock. A classic of rock music.
