Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Warning - This DVD is not a concert, it is a documentary! Comment: This was put out in mid-October 2008. I along with at least a few others thought it was the same live concert footage that used to be in VHS, but, now on a DVD. Amazon has comments attached to it from the VHS version which was the live concert (plus some interviews) and that is why it still has a high star rating. I am planning to return this as DVD 2 and DVD 3 are overly redundant in content as well. Customer Rating: Summary: "Buyer Beware" is dead right! Comment: The newly released DVD pictured on this page is NOT the Paris concert that buyers would expect, and I was one of the suckers who unfortunately fell for it!
This so-called "Collector's Edition" is a 3 DVD set of pure drivel. Monotonous interviews with music reviewers taking up more than half of the time, with the only footage of the band being appalling quality MTV trash that looks more like a bootleg! I'd like to know who at Amazon let this slip through the net when I (and obviously others) were expecting to receive the original Paris concert with the exact same title.
Using the original 1991 title is a sleazy way of selling an item that in all honesty isn't worth the cost of the plastic & paper it's printed on! And to make matters worse, half of the dialogue from the first DVD is repeated on the third. A blatant rip-off!
I expect more of Amazon than to allow a grossly mislabeled load of tedious garbage to be sold as a substitute. It is out & out false advertising! Customer Rating: Summary: Buyer Beware Comment: FYI, this is not the concert of the same title. Just a bunch of blokes talking about how great the band is. Customer Rating: Summary: Pricey AC/DC DVD Comment: Can anyone tell me why a $15 Vhs tape of archived material is so much? A $40 list price is incredible and the box art showing Brian Johnson as the lead singer is wrong! this from one of the last performances by Bon Scott during the "HIGHWAY TO HELL" tour. I love AC/DC like no other but you can get more from the "Plug" dvd released last year for about the same price and get both lead singers performing live. This DVD distibutor is trying to milk fans of there money with the new CD coming out on OCT. 20th exclusively at WALMART; its called "BLACK ICE". Customer Rating: Summary: 5 years after most of these reviews and STILL no DVD!! Comment: "Back in Black" not withstanding, AC/DC have never even come close to equaling what they produced when Bon Scott was alive. And from their beginning to the final Scott album, the classic "Highway to Hell", they just seemed to get better and better! And here we have an entire concert from that tour, filmed in Paris, which shows them at their absolute peak and includes backstage and interview documentary footage!
And, on top of all that, it's quite simply one of the GREATEST Rock and Roll concert films ever made...so WHERE'S THE DVD?!?!? I thought this would be one of the first things they released when DVDs became mainstream, after all, it didn't take long for it to appear on stereo hi-fi VHS in the mid-1980s and I even saw it for rent several times. But to this day, the VHS is all we have!! And that simple fact is one of the great mysteries of the modern media rock era!
I captured and burned this on a DVD-R myself but, as anyone who has ever done that knows, it's a little grainy and stereo is the only audio option so the lack of a re-mastered professional release with 5.1 or 6.1 sound is nothing short of unacceptable! (At least I was able to re-mix it while capturing it so it sounds a little better). And, sorry, "Family Jewels" comes close but, if you're happy with that, you've never seen "Let There Be Rock"!!
The song list is below and, yes, each song is featured in its entirety, this isn't one of those pieces of garbage that only show snippets of songs before going back to the documentary footage.
Bottom line: DVD or no DVD, if you like Rock and still own a VCR there is NO EXCUSE for not already owning this tape. Especially since good used copies are widely available for under $10 including shipping!
