The cover says it all.... The intensity of the peformance and just the hard rocking element too this album is timeless. Every song if you close your eyes you can just see Angus Young stomping around on the stage and Bon Scott singing his heart out while Malcom Young and Cliff Williams just stand at the amps playing the rhythym and then Phil Rudd just keeping the beat throughout the show. What are you waiting for buy this album now for anyone who loves live cds and rock music.

This is one of the best live albums ever recorded. I was only a child when AC/DC were based in my home town of Melbourne. I use to see them on t.v but i just wished i could have seen them live, my age back then was of course a problem. They did play all age shows though like the Ringwood ice skating rink and the 1976 Moomba festival in Melbourne. A story an older person has told me about when he once saw AC/DC live at the Mathew Flinders hotel in Melbourne back in 1975 or 76 was that a big fight broke out in the crowd between skinheads and bikers, and Bon Scott on stage pulled out a gun and pointed it at the brawling crowd. Of course the gun was fake but it calmed the crowd down a bit. Back then in Melbourne the crowds actually did want blood and AC/DC would always deliver. Anyway, this album is AC/DC`s most well known and not so well known songs played live and loud. Fantastic!

AC/DC live is just like heaven, especially with original lead singer Bon Scott. Now I'm not at all saying that Brian Johnson isn't great; he is, but he can't hold a candle to Bon, in my opinion.

And this live record, originally released in 1978 on Atlantic but reissued on Epic in the early 2000s, proves how great AC/DC is. With songs like 'Whole Lotta Rosie,' 'Rock And Roll Damnation,' and 'High Voltage,' you know this album is gonna rock.

And, I think Epic did an awesome job remastering this. The sound quality is superb.

While Scott was alive, he made some mighty fine records with AC/DC. And 'If You Want Blood You've Got It' (which is one of the best live records ever put out, in my opinion) is one of the best records that AC/DC ever put out.

Highly recommended for any rock or AC/DC fan. Classic heavy metal at it's finest. Well worth listening to, and better yet, owning. ENJOY!!!

A great live album showcasing the Bon Scott era of AC/DC, this one really showcases a bluesy, dirty, barroom band that just happened to make it big. A great set of songs, here, with only three ("The Jack," "Problem Child," and "Whole Lotta Rosie") that really get any serious radio play, this album hits on a lot of exceptionally good, yet criminally overlooked material from Let There Be Rock and Powerage. And, of course, it allows for all of us who never had the opportunity to see Bon, a chance to hear him on a great live recording.

Start to finish, this is my favorite AC/DC album. Yes, I own "Back in Black" and "highway To Hell", among others, and they're great. But when I want a pure metal adrenaline rush loaded with hooks, nothing satisfies quite like "If You Want Blood...". You can just feel the anticipation of the audience with the amplifier buzz that starts before the boys rip into a searing rendition of "Riff Raff". Then, if that's possible, they up the ante with a totally smoking "Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be". And so it goes for the rest of this terrific CD.

This is a great document of one of hard rock's most original bands when Bon Scott was still lead singer and they were virtually unknown outside of Australia. The wildly appreciative Aussie audience couldn't have cared less and clearly knew they were onto something as the trademark AC/DC sound was already fully formed. If you have even a casual interest in AC/DC, then buy or download this album.
