AC/DC back in Britain: A powerful live recording from the final Bon Scott era.
In the autumn of 1979, AC/DC returned to the United Kingdom as a band whose reputation had grown far beyond its Australian roots and its earlier cult following in Europe.
The release of Highway to Hell had significantly strengthened the band's international position. The series of concerts at London's Hammersmith Odeon remains an important part of AC/DC's live history during this period.
The band performed on several consecutive nights, featuring the classic line-up with Bon Scott, Angus Young and Malcolm Young.
The second show, on November 2, delivers an excellent summary of AC/DC in 1979.
Live Wire and Shot Down in Flames immediately set the tone, followed by Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be and Sin City. The performance continues with Walk All Over You, Bad Boy Boogie and The Jack, before the title track Highway to Hellrepresents the band's latest album.
With Girls Got Rhythm, High Voltage, Whole Lotta Rosie and Rocker, the band continues to build towards the final songs, If You Want Blood (You've Got It) and Let There Be Rock.
The excellent sound quality of this double CD, combined with the strong setlist, makes this concert particularly attractive.
The newer songs fit naturally alongside the older material that had established AC/DC's reputation. Walk All Over You and Girls Got Rhythm demonstrate how the new album's songs became part of the band's established live repertoire.
At the same time, Let There Be Rock and Whole Lotta Rosie show how AC/DC could transform a concert into an extended display of powerful guitar playing, driving rhythms and Bon Scott's unmistakable personality.
The venue adds further historical interest. London's Hammersmith Odeon was one of Britain's most important concert venues, hosting legendary performances by artists such as Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Queen, Status Quo, Kiss, David Bowie, Motley Crue and Guns N' Roses.
AC/DC's multiple performances there demonstrate the band's ability to attract audiences night after night in one of the United Kingdom's most important music cities.
This excellent release lets you experience AC/DC at the height of its live power.
Carefully prepared and restored, this CD release gives the second Hammersmith concert its own place in AC/DC's live history. Its value lies not only in the familiar songs, but also in the opportunity to experience the complete performance, including its running order, dynamics and development from beginning to end.
The release respects the original soundboard recording. The restoration avoids excessive remastering that could damage the band's raw sound, natural dynamics and powerful impact.
For fans, it is also interesting to compare this concert with the other Hammersmith performances from November 1979.
The setlists differed in several places. For example, Walk All Over You and Problem Child appeared in different versions of the running order, while the choice of opening encore could also vary.
These differences make individual concert recordings more historically valuable than simple repetitions of the same setlist.
This release offers more than a nostalgic look back. It is a genuine piece of concert history from a period when AC/DC was establishing its international status, shortly before Bon Scott's death in February 1980 brought this classic era to an end.
For fans who want to understand the Bon Scott era in its full live context, this Hammersmith recording is a particularly valuable document.
