"Live" AC / DC captures on their tour 1991/1992 to album "The Razor's Edge", most of the tracks are drawn from its legendary performance at Donington (see also appeared live DVD "Live at Donington").
Many anderne bands you can hear significant quality gap between studio recording and live performance. For AC / DC is just the other way round: Already on the studio albums already groovy rocker, the band sounds live simply harder, faster, jagged, dirty, unbridled - to sum it up: horny!
And this album summarizes all together perfectly. The rhythm section Young / Williams / Slade drives and provides lead guitarist Angus the rocking base, so he can plow through its cutting riffs, insane solos and brilliant improvisation's. And about the circular saw Brian Johnson, yelling, roars and roars like mad (for me anyway Johnson is AC / DC's better singer, even though I will certainly get a lot of head-shaking for this statement).
The setlist is right and thus makes every best-of redundant, since AC / DC celebrate just the two or four best songs from their onetime current album "The Razor's Edge" and plow otherwise querbeet through their discography incl. All essential exploits of " Highway to Hell "on" Back in Black "to the thunderous finale" For Those About To Rock ". In addition - just for sound fetishists interesting - I've never heard a better-produced live album: differentiated sound, well mixed and superb on even the most inexpensive investment in any volume.
Conclusion: If I could only keep 3 CDs, "Live" would be it. This disc captures the greatest rock band in the world as a such it is best: unbridled, loud and raw. The absolute essence of guitar-dominated music.
