During the bluesy rocker “Boogie Man,” Angus goes on extended solo while the rhythm section plays along. It is here that he performs his traditional striptease to the crowd’s encouragement and delight. They have enthusiastically been into the concert from the get-go, more than happy to sing-along when required on songs like “Thunderstruck,” “The Jack,” “Whole Lotta Rosie,” and “T.N.T.” It is impressive to see so many on their feet and bouncing along to the music.
As the encore begins, the wrecking ball crashes to the stage. A cage rises from the crash containing a horned Angus and the band goes into their classic “Highway to Hell.” The evening is capped off with a rendition of “For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)” complete with cannons firing.
The 5.1 mix will shake your foundation as the music sounds very crisp and clear. Out the front center speaker is mainly Johnson’s vocal but Angus’ guitar appears during solos. The band pumps out the right and left front speakers and the low end sounds great pumping out the subwoofer. Crowd ambiance comes out of the surround speakers and puts the listener right in the middle of the show. It’s perfect to disturb your parents and neighbors.
Bonus features include “Angus-cam” versions of four songs that focus on Angus playing, so you get to see him in action throughout a song. There are rare tour performances of “Cover You In Oil” from Sweden intercut with video of scantily clad female mechanics getting covered in oil and “Down Payment Blues” from Florida. They weren’t recorded in high def or presented in 5.1, but are worth seeing.

Don't peek. Take a long gaze.

The audio quality of the original release sucked, so if this new one offers a better mix, then I may have to shell out the money again. The performance was one of their best.

Paul, both the stereo and 5.1 mixes are outstanding. I am usually anti-double-dip, but this is worth it. At the very least rent it and burn yourself a copy.
