Description

It's always been quite rare to see AC/DC - unless you go to their concerts. Television appearances, and later music videos, have always been a necessary evil to this band of nononsense rockers. Consequently, only their early years were documented on television - mostly in Australia and Europe - and when the time came to switch to promotional video clips, the band always made their own and gave them the appearance of a live show. But they've also never wasted an opportunity to make a big statement with their clips. From singer Bon Scott dressing like a school girl (to Angus Young's school boy) and smoking(!) on their first major television appearance, to the giant rocking spectacle of the "Big Gun" video (with guest appearance by Arnold Schwarzenegger), AC/DC has always been larger than life and their timeless brand of rock and roll has been as big on screen as it has off. Now for the first time Epic Records is proud to announce the first ever compilation of AC/DC videos from all parts of their storied career. Starting in 1975 on Australian TV's Countdown show through the Spanish TV clips filmed just ten days before Bon Scott's death - the first great era of the band is chronicled on Disc One. Disc Two starts with the promo videos for Back In Black (several never before available) and sees many of the 80's and 90's clips on DVD for the first time. This is truly a monumental collection of clips from one of the world's greatest bands - all completely remastered for DVD with the same care as the Epic CD remasters and the Live At Donington DVD.

Customer Reviews:

Videos, yes..........2007-05-07

Several people complained about not seeing live footage. Buy a live DVD, for criminey's sake. I LOVE the music videos/promos. Live footage is an okay extra, but I want to see the videos... lost art of music videos! I wish there was a bit of extra stuff to go with the videos, but not live material. Band interviews are 100% more interesting. The only time I care about seeing live footage... uh, is when I see a band live.

Expecting more?.......2007-04-05

The package arrived as listed but I was expecting more from the actual DVD. I was hoping to see more concert footage but all it was, the video library of AC/DC. The video's are great but I was expecting more.
