Music DVD Review - AC/DC: Plug Me In
Published October 31, 2007
The band continued on eventually falling into commercial decline by 1987. During the 90's they continued to release albums and started charting better with 1990's The Razors Edge hitting #2 in the U.S. They currently have an untitled album scheduled for release in January 2008.
Some of the highlights of AC/DC: Plug Me In include Disk 1's black and white St. Albans High School footage in 1976, the first public performance of "Highway to Hell" from Netherlands TV, and a Bon Scott interview from 1977. Disk 2 has an extremely rare 1981 Japanese appearance, Moscow's Ballbreaker tour, and AC/DC Donnington Interview in 1984.
AC/DC: Plug Me In is a great DVD. Yes it has some absolutely crappy video sequences, it has many good quality, and has many great quality ones as well. But that is history. Rolling Stone magazine lists Angus Young as #96 of the top 100 guitarists of all time. After watching this DVD; many times I might add, I think that he needs to be in the top 50, if not higher. The guy is amazing the way that he runs around the stage; or even the theater and he never, ever misses a beat. It is said that his spastic move; where he falls to the stage and starts spinning around while playing lead, happened because he tripped over some wires and he did it to cover his clumsiness. He alone is worth the cost of the DVD; especially for any guitar playing want-a-bees.
