20 years after their last live album "Live" proffer AC / DC anno 2012, a pleasantly rough double CD. The instruments can be heard well balanced and make a lot of pressure. Only Brian Johnson's voice sounds here and reworked since. No wonder, the 60-year-old vocalist has become the latest from the half of a concert so hoarse that one hardly knows anything. No matter, what matters is the event AC / DC.
In addition to numerous classics of the band and rock history as "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap", "Thunderstruck", "Hells Bells", "Let There Be Rock" or the indestructible "Highway to Hell" and not so often live among pieces like "shot Down in Flames "or" Dog Eat Dog "are also four songs published in 2008 the album" Black Ice "with it. The catchy single "Rock'n'Roll Train", the bone dry grooving "War Machine", the oppressive stomper "Black Ice" and the sing-along anthem "Big Jack" made perfectly in the monumental setlist. But real highlight of the concert, the Argentinian fans. Loudly sing even instrumental passages of his lungs with that will make your day. A more enthusiastic audience will be found difficult. The perfect symbiosis of the kicking hard rock and unbridled euphoria spectators. So making live music fun! Nevertheless, can also in this case, hold on to what generally applies for live albums: for fans has the whole most collectors value. The recordings have been anyway all at home. Who wants to leave but drifting in the ocean enthusiasm, for this double CD is just right.
Granted, with the picture looks even more spectacular appearance, because the gigantic stage and jumping people sea are simply crazy impressive. However, the CD version brings the unique atmosphere of a total of three nights in Buenos Aires, from which the pictures were taken, over authentic. Something embarrassing detail: as Brian Johnson makes the first announcement after the opener, he apologized to the Italian "Scusi" that the band is not particularly well speaks Spanish. He has unfortunately missed something in the language. Noticed it hardly seems to be someone.
The Rock Machine AC / DC grooves undeterred even in the new millennium through the world and you could wish for in the face of such a compelling live document as "Live at River Plate" that they will do it many, many years. The reality, however, looks different. Currently, the band is in the studio to record their farewell album. Maybe they give us then a similar strong recording their final tour. Or make it even further. One should never give up hope.
