Not A Patch On "If You Want Blood....." - By: A. R. Dow, 05 Apr 2007 
I'm afraid that, having bought this recentlyin reliance on the reviews on this site, ripped it to my MP3 Player, & listened to it over several tube journeys, I am disappointed. The whole thing lacks the bite, attack & energy of the earlier "If you Want Blood....." It's all too polite, too well mannered, & too well produced, - almost bland. I'm going to give it an airing on the stereo over the weekend, but unless the wider sound afforded here adds something truly extra, this one may well be taking a trip over the the Record Exchangein Camden to be traded in. Is this just the difference between the Bonn Scott era band & the later version, or a touch of over production?
Buyer beware - By: Michael, 27 Mar 2007 
This album was a major disappointment for me, a longtime AC/DC fan. It falls way short of the classic 'If you want blood...' album. Brian Johnson's singing (screeching?) becomes more irritating with each song. The sound has that horrible sanitised & distant feel to it. Worse of all however is the wretched 'For those About To Rock....' dirge which is not a song but a tuneless chant that sounds like it was made up on the terraces of a football club. If you want live AC/DC stick to 'If you want Blood.....', a flawless classic by a band at its musical peak.....
WE SALUTE YOU - By: Gareth Hall, 14 Feb 2007 
AC/DC have been playing hard & ruthless for over 30 years now, & to date, they still haven't released a Best Of compilation. However, so great is their reputation for slaying live audiences that, even when that compilation finally does arrive, this double live album may remain the best first purchase for new fans.
'Live - Collectors Edition' combines recordings from several AC/DC showsin 1991, but primarily concentrates on their appearance at that year's 'Monsters of Rock' festival, which ruled the UK from 1980-1996 as the biggest, baddest event on the rock 'n' roll calendar. In '91, Castle Donington shook to the sounds of Metallica & Motley Crue, & at the top of the bill, ready to blast 72,500 fans to kingdom come, were AC/DC. 'The Razor's Edge', the album which preceded this tour, featured their best work since 'Back In Black' 10 years earlier, & gave them several great new additions to an already devastating arsenal including 'Whole Lotta Rosie', 'Let There Be Rock' & 'You Shook Me All Night Long'. To these, Angus Young adds a couple of extravagantly extended face-melting guitar solos, & the brief but touching tribute to Bon Scott entitled 'Bonny' (a guitar lick based on the traditional Scottish ballad 'The Bonnie Banks O' Loch Lomond'). The audio quality throughout the record is superb - vocals & instruments are crisp & clear, & the audiences remain loud & proudin the mix.
If you're especially lucky, you may find a custom-made Angus Young banknote tucked away inside the sleeve of 'Live - Collectors Edition' (I still have mine!). With or without this little bonus, though, if you want some high voltage rock 'n' roll, this is where you come & get it.
an amazing live album - By: Mrs. S. A. Scott, 14 Apr 2006 when I listened to this recently I was blown away, because of AC/DC's stage presence you feel as if you are there at the concert, I would usually suggest to people that when starting listening to a band not to start with a live album but this is an exception, it contains soem of AC/DC's most popular & best songs, an absolute must
