My Amazon.com review for it...
Unfortunately this DVD has been canceled for release outside of Japan.. however, recently I saw on a local (Australian) website that a new AC/DC DVD had just been released titled "AC/DC Live '77" -- For the little price the wanted for it, I was sure to check it out.
When I first saw it with no information on the websites about it, I figured it was an unauthorized bootleg or something that had slipped its way into well known music stores.
The cover shows the band, with Mark Evans, even tho it is Cliff Williams on this performance. With "AC/DC Live '77: At the hippodrome golders green London" on the cover and I thought to myself, "Isn't that Rock Masters?" ... on the back of the cover it was the same tracks as RockMasters, and even in small print it says "AC/DC: Rockmasters"
So the Japanese version that was released years ago is now released in Australian under the "AC/DC Live '77" title!!!

Review
If anyone has had a bootleg of this DVD, you will known Malcolm's guitar is hard to hear. There is no correction of this on the DVD! There where more tracks then this played on this show, such as "Sin City".. it is not to be seen anywhere on this disc. However, on my old bootleg credits rolled through T.N.T, on this one it doesn't, however, I am not convinced that this is not a video edit, as it pretty much just shows familiar crowed shots.
The quality is not much better then a VHS version. And even tho it is only written in small print on the back cover, this show does kick off with the Rock Masters logo. So I can assure this is it, and it has been done rather poorly. Sound fades in an out in certain parts, the crowed is almost zilch in sound, Malcolm can barely be heard over Angus, Bon seems to be singing to a dead room, and it's not the entire show.
It's probably just as well this DVD got canceled. As most fan's would be reviewing it like "My bootleg version is better quality then this" --
Also included is the video clips of Jailbreak, Long Way To The Top, Highway To Hell, Shot Down In Flames and Touch Too Much... which look and sound very poor too.
It even says right there on the back of the box next to region 2, Mpeg-2/NTSC ... Mpeg, thats about youtube quality.
For the fans who simply must have this DVD, check out Australian DVD sellers websites like EazyDVD or JB Hi-Fi and you should find it can be sent anywhere around the world. But take note, the quality is very bad for a DVD that so many AC/DC fans have wanted on DVD for so long.
