Ac/Dc - No Bull Live Plaza De Toros - The Director's Cut - IMPORT (1996) ReviewThe Good
No Bull was originally released in 1996 for the home video market. The director David Mallet always thought that the release was too rushed, and ultimately was not the best result possible for the release. In 2008 the film has been completely restored in HD and the audio remixed in both stereo and 5.1 surround sound.
No Bull showcases AC/DC on their Ballbreaker tour. The venue for the event is the Plaza De Toros De Las Ventas bullfighting arena in Madrid, Spain. Now that title makes sense, huh? One of the greater aspects of this performance is that AC/DC knows how to put on a show. A show is much more than music. Although it has been virtually abandoned by current artists, a lot of AC/DC's show is visual as well as auditory. That makes for one hell of a performance.
The group kicks things off surprisingly with "Back in Black." Before they hit the stage, there's a hugh wrecking ball that destroys an old building that consumes the stage. After the top level is demolished, the group enters from what's left of the building. From their the group fires off some of their biggest and fan favorite tracks.
Songs include, "Thunderstruck," "Girls Got Rhythm," "Hard As A Rock," "Shoot to Thrill," "Hells Bells," "The Jack," "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution," "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap," "You Shook Me All Night Long," "Whole Lotta Rosie," "T.N.T," "Highway to Hell," "For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)," plus six more.
You might even find a few undiscovered tracks along the way, as "Hail Caesar" and "Boogie Man" have become two of my new favorites. The crowd is huge and into every track. The energy level starts high and never falters. Visual highlights include the ominous bell from "Hells Bells," a hugh inflatable "Rosie," and the wrecking ball summonsing Angus from the depths of hell on "Highway to Hell."
There are a handful of bonus features which are cool, but you could have really lived without them. The show eclipses anything offered as a bonus. Live performances of "Cover You in Oil" (another new favorite of mine) from Sweden and "Down Payment Blues from Florida are included as bonuses. As well as alternate camera footage from the Spain show, titled "Angus-Cam."
The Bad
Let's face it, "Ballbreaker" wasn't exactly one of AC/DC's best efforts.
The Verdict
Has there ever been a bad AC/DC performance? I think not! No Bull is a perfect representation of what the group has to offer.Ac/Dc - No Bull Live Plaza De Toros - The Director's Cut - IMPORT (1996) Overview

Deep Purple: Phoenix Rising (2011) ReviewWhen I heard about this DVD being readied for release, I couldn't wait for a chance to see what was going to be culled from the archives. As I did not opt for the CD/DVD combo package(I already have both the Japan and Long Beach gigs on disc), I simply ordered the sole DVD. The additional booklet that was included was a nice touch and although some of the footage has already been made available(via History, Hits and Highlights 68-76), I still find the finished product as a satisfying addition to the Mach IV story. Despite the fact that only Jon Lord and Glenn Hughes are featured for the present day recollection of this time period, they are very insightful within their contributions on the impact of Tommy Bolin's presence within the band at that particular time.
There is a bit too much rambling from Hughes about his cocaine addiction towards the middle of the disc, but it does offer basic reasons why the IV lineup was so short lived. There is an interesting anecdote to their trip to Jakarta that I wasn't aware of, and how sinister of a twist that happened to them in losing one of their bodyguards, on top of having difficulty leaving the country itself; pretty spooky stuff there!! I agree that the Rises Over Japan footage is certainly not one of Tommy's better moments, but the remastering of the performance is well done, nonetheless. I enjoy the track by track dissection of Come Taste the Band in the special features section of the disc as it gives more insight into the overall process of recording that album. For serious Purple fans, like myself, this a must have to add to the collection. And its certainly of interest to fans of Tommy Bolin as well. 4 starsDeep Purple: Phoenix Rising (2011) Overview

Iron Man 2 (CD/DVD) ReviewIf you are not familiar with all the songs by AC/DC, here's what albums they were featured on:
1. Shoot to Thrill (From "Back in Black")
2. Rock 'N' Roll Damnation (from "Powerage")
3. Guns for Hire (from "Flick Of The Switch")
4. Cold Hearted Man (from "Backtracks")
5. Back in Black (from "Back in Black")
6. Thunderstruck (from "The Razor's Edge")
7. If You Want Blood (You've Got It) (from "Highway To Hell")
8. Evil Walks (from "For Those About To Rock")
9. T.N.T. (from "High Voltage")
10. Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be (from "Let There Be Rock")
11. Have a Drink on Me (from "Back in Black")
12. The Razor's Edge (from "The Razor's Edge")
13. Let There Be Rock (from "Let There Be Rock")
14. War Machine (from "Black Ice")
15. Highway to Hell(from "Highway to Hell")
If you keeping count that's 6 cuts for Bon Scott and 9 for Brian Johnson.
3 tracks from "Back in Black" and 2 from "The Razor's Edge, "Highway To Hell" & "Let There Be Rock".
Studio Albums with no tracks represented: "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap",'74 Jailbreak", "Fly on The Wall","Blow Up Your Video", "Ballbreaker", & "Stiff Upper Lip".
At least this soundtrack covers a broader spectrum than their last soundtrack offering, "Maximum Overdrive" which featured 2 tracks from "Back in Black", 2 from "Fly on The Wall", 1 each from "Dirty Deeds" & "For Those About to Rock", plus 2 new instrumentals and the lone new track, "Who Made Who". At least the two soundtracks didn't copy songs, so that's a good thing.
The only thing I was hoping for was at least one new track, but no luck. ENJOY!Iron Man 2 (CD/DVD) Overview

AC/DC: Live at River Plate (2011) ReviewACDC 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!
