| | Features | AC/DC LIVE AT RIVER PLATE
| |
| | Description | AC/DC Live At River Plate, a definitive live concert DVD documenting AC/DC's massive Black Ice World Tour, will be available for purchase on Tuesday May 10, 2011. Shot in December of 2009, AC/DC Live At River Plate marks AC/DC's triumphant return to Buenos Aires where nearly 200,000 fans, and 3 sold-out shows, welcomed the band back after a 13 year absence from Argentina. This stunning live footage of AC/DC underscores what Argentina's Pagina 12 newspaper reported by saying "no one is on the same level when it comes to pure and clear Rock 'n Roll." Directed by David Mallet and produced by Rocky Oldham, AC/DC Live At River Plate was shot with 32 cameras entirely in HD. AC/DC Live At River Plate features 19 songs (110 minutes) as well as 'behind the scenes' footage of this massive production coming together among the excitement of anxious fans (see below for full track listing). Additionally the DVD contains a bonus feature titled "The Fan, The Roadie, The Guitar Tech & The Meat," features interviews with AC/DC, their crew and fans among the excitement of the shows and the city of Buenos Aires. AC/DC Live At River Plate captures the intensity and power of the band's critically acclaimed world tour in support of their most recent album Black Ice, which debuted at #1 in 31 countries. The Black Ice World tour took AC/DC on a 20 month trek around the globe playing to over 5 million fans in 108 cities in over 28 countries. The Black Ice World Tour earned AC/DC a Pollstar Award for Major Tour of the Year in 2010. | |

 ACDC Camera Symphony!!! May 11, 2011
By Dale Keys
ACDC is my favorite band so I had to go get this Blu-Ray today.
The Concert venue is Awesome and the emense crowd is all Jacked Up to say the least for this show.
Visually as well as the sound are very good for an outdoor show so big.
The use of multple cameras is nice to have,but if you have seen U2 360 then you know where I'm going with this.Every 3 or 4 seconds your wisked away to another shot of a band member,the group,the audience as a whole or section,or a tatoo on someone's arm of ACDC...etc (To the Editors of the disk.)Can you please stop long enough to take in the perspective of feeling your at the show as a person instead of a 100 cameras blinking. Way to many audience shots mixed into the show every few seconds.
Whoever edits these concerts and press's the button to cut to camera 2, back to camera 30, now to camera 16 thru the numders of cameras every 10 seconds or so,split screens,3 split screens. Come on,the guys that do this need to relax and lay off the coffee."It IS way Overdone!
Worse of all someone,the Band has to aprove this,seriously?
Anywho if you can overcome the camera symphony its a great show could of done some different songs this tour with the older stuff.Song set selection is similiar to No Bull and Donnington with 4 new songs off Black Ice mixed in.
Let There Be Rock "the Movie" I seen in Theatres long ago will make up for it with less camera vollying and the pre Johnson set list.
If you dont aprove of this kind of camera work in your concert DVDs let them know here,somewhere please.
Its borderline unprofessional!
2 Stars lost from cameraitis.

 Terrible Editing May 19, 2011
By davem1
I was really looking forward to watching this dvd but the editing gave me a headache after the first five minutes. Can someone explain to me why each camera shot is only 3 to 4 seconds long? I wish I had waited to read the reviews before I wasted my money on this.

Oh no, this blinding-fast editing again!!!! May 19, 2011
By M. Fonseca
"carmarthen"
Can't understand. Well, maybe I do. If previous DVD releases with this catastrophic headache-inducing editing sold, why change it?
I went for this with high expectations that this did not follow the same trend of previous releases (not only by AC/DC, but by other bands as well). No such luck. Editing is atrocious, you can barely watch someone playing at all, the takes are all over the place, changing from second to second.
Gosh, it's so frustrating. You know the music is there (after all, you're listening to it!), the performance is there, but can simply NOT SEE IT!
Avoidable.

 Good stuff, but maybe not their best May 19, 2011
By j. swanitz
I have been an AC/DC fan since I was 8 years old. That is a lot of years now. (I'm 43)
I collect nearly everything I can concerning AC/DC. Yes, all album cover variants, etc. My wife loves me.
This video is very good. The crowd in Argentina is really what made it good.
The set list is pretty standard live stuff.
Shot down in flames, and dog eat dog are a nice change of pace, and harken back to the earlier Bon material. Well Dog Eat Dog is earlier Bon material. Shot down in flames is from Highway to Hell, which was Bon's last album with the band.
The band does a good job of chugging through the set list, and the crowd eats it up.
Interestingly, over the past few tours, Brian seems to be taking over a bit of the spotlight from Angus. This is understandable, considering their age, and the effort it takes to pull off the antics Angus does every night. Frankly, I like the balance, as Brian is a loveable ham, and does a solid job of engaging the crowd while not overdoing it.
Angus has really toned down the head bobbing and racing all over the stage. Still breaks out the Chuck Berry duck walk now and then, but his act is half of what is was when he was a younger man. Still kills it on the guitar!
I still feel that Live at Donington is their best live video in the Brian era. Granted, they were much younger, and the show had a bit more energy; which I guess is what struck me about this video. The lads are getting old, and it shows a bit. Don't get me wrong, I couldn't do what they do night after night on these gigantic tours they pull off. I guess it was a harsh dose of reality that myself and the band are getting old.
While I agree to a point with some of the reviews regarding the camera angles, I didn't find it too distracting. Especially when they would get a shot of some of the lovely ladies of Argentina in the crowd.
I enjoyed the DVD, and will forever love this band.
Fans casual or otherwise will want to add this to their collection.

 Unbelievable...what can i say? May 17, 2011
By JMB
"JMB"
I just picked up my copy today and the most impressive aspect of this disc is the SOUND......its incredible....My blu-ray player is hooked up to my home theater system via optical cable...I swear its just like they are in the room! The sound is RIGHT THERE...by far better than any of their other dvd/bluray releases....In "Ballbreaker" and "Stiff Upper Lip", the guitars sound somewhat "distant." Anyone who owns those will know what I mean...but not this show...I'm still somewhat partial to Live At Donnington but I definitely got more with this disc than I was expecting....HD makes all the difference in the world....I had to laugh when Brian Johnson said, "We don't speak Spanish very well but we play ROCK AND ROLL pretty good!".....FIVE STARS for sure..I wish I could give it more....put it on Dolby Digital Multi-channel and crank it up...it will take your breath!
