Summary: 5 years after most of these reviews and STILL no DVD!!
Comment: "Back in Black" not withstanding, AC/DC have never even come close to equaling what they produced when Bon Scott was alive. And from their beginning to the final Scott album, the classic "Highway to Hell", they just seemed to get better and better! And here we have an entire concert from that tour, filmed in Paris, which shows them at their absolute peak and includes backstage and interview documentary footage!
And, on top of all that, it's quite simply one of the GREATEST Rock and Roll concert films ever made...so WHERE'S THE DVD?!?!? I thought this would be one of the first things they released when DVDs became mainstream, after all, it didn't take long for it to appear on stereo hi-fi VHS in the mid-1980s and I even saw it for rent several times. But to this day, the VHS is all we have!! And that simple fact is one of the great mysteries of the modern media rock era!
I captured and burned this on a DVD-R myself but, as anyone who has ever done that knows, it's a little grainy and stereo is the only audio option so the lack of a re-mastered professional release with 5.1 or 6.1 sound is nothing short of unacceptable! (At least I was able to re-mix it while capturing it so it sounds a little better). And, sorry, "Family Jewels" comes close but, if you're happy with that, you've never seen "Let There Be Rock"!!
The song list is below and, yes, each song is featured in its entirety, this isn't one of those pieces of garbage that only show snippets of songs before going back to the documentary footage.
Bottom line: DVD or no DVD, if you like Rock and still own a VCR there is NO EXCUSE for not already owning this tape. Especially since good used copies are widely available for under $10 including shipping!

Summary: What AC/DC is........
Comment: I ordered this back in 1987 and waited a while to get it...this is what a AC/DC show is all about...it's funny seeing Angus totally stoned during some of the interviews...good concert..to bad you can't get the footage from the apollo theater when they were on tour back in 1978... "riff raff" shows up in the family jewels collection..that would be worth buying..
in all very good concert....though Who made Who and Blow up your Video concert tours were far better......

Summary: Great view of AC/DC that sums up Bon Scott era. Absolutely rocks
Comment: This is an important video in the AC/DC fan's library being one of the last thing Bon Scott had a chance to do with the band before his unfortunate early end. Let there be rock is recorded while the band was on a tour stop in Paris on their Highway to hell tour. 13 song total on the video including Highway to hell, shot down in flames, live wire, and let there be rock. This also includes great behind the scenes footage of the band in the hotel and on the road. Bon Scott at his pinnicle on vocals, and Angus, that little man has more energy than an H-bomb. Must have for AC/DC fans, likely someday to come out on DVD. Check it out if you can. Also noted by another reviewer, Check out Bon Scott's Big Drink in the interviews, you can see they pieced the footage together because the tumbler's level of liquid is goes up and down throughout the movie but in no order....unless they kept refilling it and he'd drink it quickly..which is also plausable. That's living like a Rock Star. Entertainment at its best.

Summary: I just bought the tape...
Comment: ...and I got it for less than $10.00 (including S&H), so IN YOUR FACE! Ahem. That being said, I think this awesome concert deserves to be seen in digitally-remastered DVD. I also recommend "Live at Donington", which is about twice as long as "Let There Be Rock" and includes some very cool Special Features. My rating (for the band & this tape): 10/10.

Summary: In the beggining Bon Scott is the man
Comment: The best AC/DC movie.The interviews are pretty cool but the concert is way better.It's got Shot Down In Flames,Let There Be Rock,Live Wire,Highway to Hell, and other great songs.I like Brian Johnson but he cant sing anything like Bon Scott.If you've never heard AC/DC pick this up or if u love AC/DC and dont own this(i feel bad for you) PICK THIS UP!
