Summary: A heavy metal masterpiece
Comment: AC/DC live is just like heaven, especially with original lead singer Bon Scott. Now I'm not at all saying that Brian Johnson isn't great; he is, but he can't hold a candle to Bon, in my opinion.

And this live record, originally released in 1978 on Atlantic but reissued on Epic in the early 2000s, proves how great AC/DC is. With songs like 'Whole Lotta Rosie,' 'Rock And Roll Damnation,' and 'High Voltage,' you know this album is gonna rock.

And, I think Epic did an awesome job remastering this. The sound quality is superb.

While Scott was alive, he made some mighty fine records with AC/DC. And 'If You Want Blood You've Got It' (which is one of the best live records ever put out, in my opinion) is one of the best records that AC/DC ever put out.

Highly recommended for any rock or AC/DC fan. Classic heavy metal at it's finest. Well worth listening to, and better yet, owning. ENJOY!!!

Summary: I Wanted Blood; I Got It
Comment: A great live album showcasing the Bon Scott era of AC/DC, this one really showcases a bluesy, dirty, barroom band that just happened to make it big. A great set of songs, here, with only three ("The Jack," "Problem Child," and "Whole Lotta Rosie") that really get any serious radio play, this album hits on a lot of exceptionally good, yet criminally overlooked material from Let There Be Rock and Powerage. And, of course, it allows for all of us who never had the opportunity to see Bon, a chance to hear him on a great live recording.

Summary: My favorite AC/DC
Comment:
Start to finish, this is my favorite AC/DC album. Yes, I own "Back in Black" and "highway To Hell", among others, and they're great. But when I want a pure metal adrenaline rush loaded with hooks, nothing satisfies quite like "If You Want Blood...". You can just feel the anticipation of the audience with the amplifier buzz that starts before the boys rip into a searing rendition of "Riff Raff". Then, if that's possible, they up the ante with a totally smoking "Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be". And so it goes for the rest of this terrific CD.

This is a great document of one of hard rock's most original bands when Bon Scott was still lead singer and they were virtually unknown outside of Australia. The wildly appreciative Aussie audience couldn't have cared less and clearly knew they were onto something as the trademark AC/DC sound was already fully formed. If you have even a casual interest in AC/DC, then buy or download this album.

Summary: Poor Representation of This Band's Live Show
Comment: I had just seen these guys live in Columbus, Ohio in September 1978 and bought this album soon as it was released, hoping to relive some of that experience. Soon as I listened to it, I wanted a refund!

It sounds NOTHING like their live show. The sound is too sanitized, cleaned up, polished, and almost "Top 40-groomed". Happily, in the years since, several other live recordings of this great band have been released, including the far more accurate "Plug Me In" collection. Just listen to the two back to back, and you'll see what I mean.

This band is aptly named, particularly during the Bon era. There was an energy to this band live that was palpable in the crowd, and this record fails to capture this. There are (finally, after years of waiting) better representations of this great band's live act.

By the way - the opening act for this September '78 show? Cheap Trick on the 'Heaven Tonight' tour. What a night!

Summary: FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK ( VOLUME 3 )
Comment: This band was the first rock band I started to listen too.
This has guitar riff that only Angus can play.
My rating for this CD is a 7 from 1to10!!
