Although quite a number of shows were recorded during
the "Highway To Hell" tour of 79-80, the same 3 concerts
seem to be constantly re-released by bootleggers. The famous Paris
concert of December 79 was one of the first bootleg release with "Bon
Scott's Last Oui Oui" in 1981, and finally released in official
form and definitive sound quality in "Bonfire" recently.
None of the CD or Lp release ever contained the full concert and the
most complete is the above-mentioned. The Towson University show of
October 79 has also been re-released many times. It was broadcast
in the US on FM radio and the best version of this concert is the
"Living In The Hell" CD & Double Lp. Finally the London
Hammersmith Odeon concert of November 79 broadcast by the BBC and
released as a Transcription Disc in 1980 has been issued more than
enough time in various quality levels. The better sounding one, and
only complete is the Double CD "Angus Cha Cha". Other interesting
releases of the 79 tour include 2 German shows, Berlin December 79
("Dirty Big Balls") and Nuremberg September 79 ("High
Voltage On Stage"). |

from the other London 79 bootlegs because it was taken from the
original BBC Lp, not the actual broadcast, and sounds better,
but is edited.

- Note: A new release from Japan, with this legendary concert of the band supporting the Who at Wembley Stadium. A killer performance by AC/DC (despite the PA being cut out during "Whole Lotta Rosie"), taken here from a low generation (possibly master) excellent audience recording. Unfortunately it omits the encore, "If You Want Blood." Also included is a DVD with about 4 minutes exerpts from AC/DC with "Live Wire, "Walk All Over You" and "Bad Boy Boogie." This was filmed from the audience with an 8mm camera (and transcoded direct from the original film apparently) but this is a real document. Limited numbered edition of 300. An expensive but great release.
