It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
This was a great concert for sure. However, the video footage is painful to watch due to switching cameras at a pretty constant rate of 4 seconds. I am almost getting spasm watching it. The video editor should have been fired. The sound was pretty good though and it is always fun to watch AC/DC perform.
This concert should not have been released; as a follow up to "Live at Donington," "No Bull" is of very poor quality and does not compare to the former at all. Basic synopsis: AC/DC on stage being filmed (most likely) with a camcorder, (early 80s at that). The reproduced sound is just awful. The saving grace of this film is that the band is playing old songs from earlier times that are never usually performed at concerts; however, sadly, these songs are marred by poor video and sound quality--what could have been great becomes something that is not. By the end of the film, something that should have been exciting and refreshing is anything but; indeed, to watch this film is a true test of patience, when trying not to turn the DVD off and put something else on instead. Not only do I own this DVD, but I have also seen it playing at a few different pubs as well, and the crowds do not respond well. Something that is supposed to be exciting and uplifting is instead marred by poor quality to the point that even if one strains hard to listen, the songs are almost indistinguishable. Soon the DVD becomes poor quality background noise to the din of the pub-goers because the DVD cannot keep people's attention. Basically, the DVD gives a bad impression of a band that usually can blow any crowd away, live or otherwise.
i just finished watching AC/DC No Bull, and I have to say that I was not all that pleased. There was way to much bass in the amplifiers, so it bottomed out the sound, and some of the songs riffs sounded pretty bad. Out of a Ten, I would probably give this a 4 1/2 out of 10
AC/DC has always been one of my favorite music groups ever. Forget rock, because they rule in that genre. And this tape proves it. In this concert in Madrid, Spain, the crazy ausies perform some of there best hits (with or without Bon Scott because now we have the funniest singer ever Brian Johnson) including Back In Black, The Jack, You Shook Me All Night Long, For Those About to Rock, and my favorite- Thunderstruck. Very well done concert film, even if it is just a concert with no interviews (unlike the 1980 film Let there be Rock) because if AC/DC, with the Angus Young skipping guitar virtuoso, isn't a perfect example of the rock band, I don't know what is. A+
