AC/DC Live is the second live album by Australian hard rock band AC/DC, released on 27 October 1992.
It was released both as a single album and as a double album on LP and CD known as AC/DC Live: 2 CD Collector's Edition. The album is supported by a video, AC/DC: Live at Donington. The double album AC/DC Live: 2 CD Collector's Edition was released a month after the single-disc version, in a slipcased two-disc "book" (similar in shape to old CD longboxes) and containing an AC/DC dollar note. Both editions of the album were re-released in 2003 as part of the AC/DC Remasters series. The recordings on this live album are taken from several shows from AC/DC's 1991 The Razors Edge tour: Glasgow, Edmonton, Birmingham and the Donington and Moscow "Monsters of Rock" shows. Barry Weber of AllMusic writes: "All too often, a live album is a cheaply made, rushed recording that only serves as a testament to a band's decline. AC/DC Live, however, shows what makes this band different from their peers - here they are still entirely capable of pulling off a great live show. This ranks among the best live metal albums of the '90s."
Disclaimer: guitar and vocal overdubs were added during post-production, so the raw audio (found on bootlegs) will be slightly different from the album version. The recordings from the dates listed below were used as a basis before being edited.
These dates are not listed in the album booklet and were confirmed by fans comparing bootlegs to the album.
All tracks written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young and Brian Johnson, except where noted.
The Japanese version includes the bonus track "Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be" (Donington Park, England, UK – 08/17/91) which was the b-side of the "Highway To Hell" (live) single. This track was later included on the deluxe edition of Backtracks in 2009.
Though it still remains unknown, it is believed that both "Are You Ready" and "That's the Way I Wanna Rock 'n' Roll" were performed on the same date. It is also believed that "High Voltage" was performed during the 2nd European/Monsters of Rock Leg. It was with a outro from 1990.
