I'm a sucker for 70's live albums. The only thing I like better than a 70's live album is a 70's DOUBLE-live album. This one, unfortunately,  is a single record but it's really interesting because it catches AC/DC touring for "Powerage" an album which they pretty much neglected after Bon's death.

They give a hell of an energetic performance and I'm fairly crazy about the set list. My only (minor) complaint is some of Angus' guitar solos are just a taaaaad too long for my liking. I prefer his solos in the short, energetic bursts as they appear on the studio records, but...c'mooon! What's a 70's live album without a few extended solos? Pound a few beers and you won't even notice...It's the only live album from the Bon Scott era and catches them right before the breakthrough of "Highway to Hell." What's not to like...It even has "Problem Child" again!





Huh...I didn't even know they made a" Problem Child 3" until I Googled it right now...

I actually just heard "If You Want Blood, You've Got It"  for the first time a couple of months ago,  when I found an old copy in beautiful shape at the local Zia records store. I think it cost me, like $3.99...

(thumping sound as we place the needle down...)
