AC/DC

AC/DC’s 1980 concert film Let There Be Rock is finally making its way for the first time to DVD and Blu-ray on June 7, 2011.

There will be three versions of AC/DC: Let There Be Rock available for purchase: a Limited Collector’s Edition Blu-Ray Combo Pack; Limited Collector’s Edition DVD; and Concert-only DVD.

The Limited Collector’s Edition, which will be released through Warner Home Video, comes packed with tons of bonus features, including 85 minutes of never-seen-before featurettes, as well as extra goodies like a 32-page tribute book, exclusive souvenir guitar pick, collector card set, and more. See list of songs, bonus features, and packaging extras here below.

The concert movie, which contains 13 live songs, was filmed in December 1979 in Paris during the legendary rock band’s Highway To Hell tour and features their original singer Bon Scott, who died a mere two months later.

The DVD/Blu-ray release is not yet available for pre-order, but don’t worry, we’ll keep you posted. This is something I’ve been waiting for for years!

Synopsis: The only movie powered by AC/DC. This legendary concert film, covering a 1979 Paris concert during the Australian heavy metal band’s “Highway To Hell” tour showcases the power and precision that the quintet bring to vicious rockers like “Whole Lotta Rosie” and “Let There Be Rock.” Pixieish lead guitarist Angus Young, attired in his trademark school-boy’s uniform, takes center stage with his energetic antics and frenetic solos, while the rest of the band crank out their minimalist boogie with quiet determination. Interview segments and humorous backstage footage show another side to the thuggish musicians, especially AC/DC’s flamboyant lead singer Bon Scott, who died two months after this filmed concert.

Director:  Eric Dionysius, Eric Mistler

    I will be buying this too, for sure! I used to rent the VHS from my local video store all the time. I remember the part where Angus needed oxygen, that’s when I realized how badass he was. Oh, and the mooning, oh my young eyes!!! It’s been soooo long since I’ve seen it, I really can’t wait.
