Customer Reviews for Stiff Upper Lip Live

a good solid set which could have been a better DVD
First of all, let me say that I thoroughly enjoyed this energetic set and so will any AC/DC fan. However, I agree with a couple of other reviews here: Brian's voice is shot (funny what happens if you smoke into your 50s) and the editing it too choppy to really see much. One of the reasons I bought this DVD and not Live at Donnington (which I want to see since it's the band in earlier days) is that I've read that LAD is overdubbed, as are other AC/DC DVDs.
Well, I suspect that's what's going on here too. Some guitar parts are just too crisp and too clear to be a live set and most songs don't let you get a look at Angus' fingerwork.
The bonus material is not much - an uninspired interview with the band is pretty much all there is.
These guys still rock out though.Stiff Upper Lip Live

AC DC rocks
No matter how you cut it, AC DC rocks. Is this the best concert video out there. Probably not. But, this one works just fine. The first couple of songs were shot in daylight hours, which was a little different. I wanted an AC DC dvd to put on the television as background entertainment for my parties. Well, this video was not very good for that, it ended up being the center part for my parties. We were all nodding our heads and tapping our feet to the music. Would I buy it again....YesStiff Upper Lip Live

AC/DC has not lost a beat
AC/DC still kicks but after all these years. This DVD of their last tour proves they still got alot of gas left in those tanks.Stiff Upper Lip Live

the truth from an AC/DC fan...and it hurts
well they are showing their age....to bad to..I was not impressed...Brian Johnson if you watch closely enough is straining A LOT to sing in many pan shots..you have to watch closely..I dare say it -- time to get a new singer.. namely the lead singer from Rhinobucket..truth hurts..sorry guys.



Stiff Upper Lip Live

A Great Set (4.5)
"Stiff Upper Lip" captures AC/DC working their butts off on a tour and even though they're aging, they prove that they can still deliver electrifying performances. This one is no short of excellent as they go through a huge chunk of their massive repetoire, covering the old and the new. Of course Brian Johnson can quite reach the high notes like he used to be able to, but believe me, this guy has energy and you can tell he is working hard. "You Shook Me All Night Long" really sets the tone for the show, and Angus Young gives a killer solo. My personal favourites from this concert are the performances from the Back in Black album, which include a great performance of the self titled track, a hard, blues tinged "Rock n' Roll Ain't Noise Pollution", and a heavy version of "What Do You Do For Money, Honey?". "Shoot To Thrill" is another great one on here as AC/DC gets the whole crowd involved. "Thunderstruck" as usual lights up the audience and this is a top notch performance of the song. "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" and "TNT" show the band digging into the older stuff, and they a great job of it, and Angus kills the solos.
Overall, if you are a diehard AC/DC fan, you must have this DVD. I myself am a casual fan but wanted to see what their live shows are like and picked this up. It is excellent stuff. Highly recommended.Stiff Upper Lip Live
