"
Columbia Records will release "Plug Me In" -- the

ultimate career-spanning DVD box set of live

performances, interviews and more from AC/DC, the

world's most electrifying rock and roll band -- on

Tuesday, October 16.



The first AC/DC release since the band came to

Columbia Records earlier this year, the AC/DC "Plug Me

In" DVD collection brings together for the very first

time an astonishing five hours of definitive live

concert and television performances -- many of them

previously unavailable -- chronicling the ongoing

career (now in its fourth decade!) of a groundbreaking

rock and roll powerhouse whose music transcends the

test of time.



"AC/DC has delivered the most dynamic rock and roll

music in the world," said Steve Barnett, Chairman,

Columbia Records. "Columbia is honored to be releasing

this definitive career-spanning retrospective

featuring many of AC/DC's finest filmed performances. "



Disc One of the AC/DC "Plug Me In" DVD collection

begins with a performance of "High Voltage" performed

in October 1975 on Australia's "King of Pop" awards

show. The first disc of "Plug Me In" is devoted to the

band's formative years (1975-1979) with the late Bon

Scott capturing the group in its full early glory with

more than 20 performances including rare

black-and-white video footage of the notorious St.

Albans High School concert on March 3, 1976; the very

first UK television appearance in July 1976; pristine

live full-color stereo concert performances from

Glasgow and Essex University in 1978; and three songs

-- including the very first public performance of

"Highway To Hell" -- from Netherlands television in

1979. Bonus material on Disc One includes a Bon Scott

interview from November 1977; extraordinary band

interviews from 1976; and four songs recorded live in

Nice on December 15, 1979, one of Bon Scott's last

concerts with the band before his tragic death on

February 19, 1980.



Disc Two of the AC/DC "Plug Me In" DVD collection

covers the band's second great epoch: the Brian

Johnson era which began with the release of "Back In

Black" in 1980 and continues to this day. In addition

to more than 20 performances drawn from three decades

of concerts around the world -- including an extremely

rare Japanese television appearance from February

1981, blistering '80s and '90s sets from Detroit to

Moscow, incredible footage from 1996's "Ballbreaker"

tour (including the "Beavis & Butthead" intro), and

21st century barnburners in Paris, Munich, and Toronto

-- "Plug Me In" includes a fantastic array of bonus

material including the AC/DC Donnington interview on

the "Old Grey Whistle Test" (August 1984) and AC/DC's

in-concert performance of "Rock Me Baby" with THE

ROLLING STONES.



A deluxe collector's edition of "Plug Me In" --

containing a third DVD of 21 additional rare

performances spanning both the Bon Scott and Brian

Johnson eras as well as a treasure trove of facsimile

reproductions of authentic AC/DC memorabilia -- will

also be available for a limited time beginning

Tuesday, October 16.

The AC/DC "Plug Me In" DVD box set is both a Holy

Grail for aficionados of AC/DC as well as an ideal and

comprehensive introduction to the music and history of

a pioneering band that continues to define the

electrifying possibilities of rock and roll.



Formed in Sydney, Australia in 1973 by brothers Angus

and Malcolm Young (still the most formidable electric

guitar team in rock), AC/DC released its first album,

"High Voltage", in 1975. The group has gone on to sell

nearly 70 million albums in the U.S. alone, making

AC/DC one of the five best-selling bands in American

music history. The "Back In Black" album has achieved

RIAA double diamond status, for sales in excess of 21

million copies in the United States, and is the U.S.'s

fifth largest-selling album ever.



AC/DC was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

in 2003.

What a Treat!!!

Six | Hell Centro, CA | 11/08/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Being an absolutely HUGE AC/DC fan, this was quite a treat for myself... Family Jewels was so so... and I've had several concert videos on VHS, but this was just such a great release for the fans, probably since the Bonfire Box. Two DVD's, one dedicated dedicated to each of the both phenomenal vocalists, being that I'm impartial to either singer (RIP Bon), Both DVD's are just great to throw on, hook up the audio cables to the Hi-Fi and let'er rip... The audio and video quality are both great, spanning the decades of Rock, All you whiny audiophiles out there who have to have HD tv and dolby 5.1 and all that jazz need to suck it up and crank up the good ol' fashioned VOLUME knob!!! Highly recommended purchase for fans!!"

Family Jewels was just a teaser compared to this!

oc9399 | Hyperborea | 10/21/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"As good as Family Jewels was, this reasonably-priced 2 DVD set contains tons more raw and rare concert footage and even includes some great interviews with the band as well. As usual, each of the discs are devoted to the Bon and Brian era respectively.



Of course, the band are cashing in on their glory days with these releases but they breathe new life into songs with never before seen material for the most part. So, it's hardly just a nostalgia trip for fans like myself who know the albums by heart.



Recommended!
