Plug Me In

Product Description

Witness every stage of the world's most electrifying rock band! Plug Me In - the new 2DVD set contains over 5 hours of rare and unreleased LIVE video from AC/DC. DVD 1 goes all the way back to 1975 and original singer Bon Scott with the band's first appearance on TV, quickly followed by two never-before-seen performances from the 1976 show at Sydney's St. Alban's High School. Also on DVD 1 are live clips from Melbourne, London, Glasgow, Holland, and Munich - including the very first public performance of the song "Highway To Hell"! DVD 2 picks up in Tokyo, with Brian Johnson at the mic. Tearing through new songs and old, the band clearly doesn't miss a beat and goes on straight through 2003 - performing with childhood heroes The Rolling Stones. Also included are rare interviews, tour promo films and alternate live versions. Total Running Time: approx. 5 hours

There are lots of times watching the 50 or so tunes on Plug Me In that your jaw drops in amazement at AC/DC's sheer energy and focus. No band has stayed as stable and focused on a singular form the way AC/DC has. They start here--in this largely chronological career omnibus--raw and nervy, caught on camera as early as 1975 on Australia’s King of Pop Awards. And they finish the set more than two decades later, with three more-polished tunes from Toronto in 2003, notably the Bon Scott classics, "If You Want Blood" and 'The Jack." Yes, much of the early video is grainy, with lo-fi audio to match. And the lighting is frequently dim, a result of old-school video being digitized; this is analog almost all the way, very little stinkin' multi-angle digital tape here. It's Angus Young's irrepressible physicality--always rubber-necked and bent-kneed--that draws the eye persistently. Don't lose of the band's longtime leader, Angus's older brother Malcolm. He chugs and riffs while the tunes run as singularly as a locomotive. "Problem Child," "Live Wire," "Whole Lotta Rosie," all the early Bon Scott gems scream here, and so do Brian Johnson’s cornerstones, "Back in Black," "Hell's Bells," and more. Halfway through disc 2, things get a touch artsy, and you get a sweet glimpse of the band in Moscow, just after the brief 1991 Russia coup. They're just lads, after all, trying to understand a complex world. And rocking out. --Andrew Bartlett
