What is the best AC/DC live album? If You Want Blood gets plenty of praise but is it the live recording that fans think is best?
The Best AC/DC Live Album Competition
For a band with such a great reputation and with the loss of their lead singer, Bon Scott when they were hitting their heights, there are surprisingly few live albums.
If You Want Blood You’ve Got It gets lots of praise from the critics but it was recorded in April 1978 and therefore misses content from studio albums such as Highway To Hell (with Scott), and Back in Black and For Those About To Rock.

The Best AC/DC Live Album Poll
Loading ...I think we know what the winner is so I’m allowing two votes per person to see if there is another essential purchase.
My thoughts on the results :
As expected, If You Want Blood is romping away the title of best live album by AC/DC.
AC/DC Live is a strong second but I have a feeling that’s more of a comment on the lack of competition than on the album itself.
This is a band who may benefit from more radio broadcast style live albums unless they open up their own archives. Mind you, that may cost them in the hard rock genre poll by splitting their votes.
