Album Review: AC/DC

STIFF UPPER LIP LIVE
By DARRYL STERDAN



STIFF UPPER LIP LIVE
AC/DC
(Elektra / Warner)

Discs: 1.

The Main Course: A two-hour AC/DC gig from their most recent tour, featuring a set heavy on old favourites (Problem Child, Back in Black, Dirty Deeds Done Dirty Cheap, Highway to Hell, T.N.T. and others) and a show with all the mandatory stadium-rock spectacle (giant stage, explosions, cannons and -- coolest of all -- a 10-metre-high statue of schoolboy guitarist Angus Young).

Side Dishes: A rather slim backstage documentary and interview, notable only for shots of Brian Johnson without his everpresent Andy Capp hat (surprisingly, he has hair under there).

Easter Eggs: None that we saw; these boys aren't big on subtlety.

Final Verdict: Although some closeups reveal the lads are starting to show their age -- Angus could take over as host of Tales From the Crypt -- they still deliver the goods live. Let there be rock. (More on: AC/DC).
