AC/DC Live is the second live album by Australian hard rock band AC/DC,released in October 1992. Two versions were released,one containing a single CD,with the second version being a double album on LP and CD known as AC/DC Live:2 CD Collector's Edition. A feature-length live video, AC/DC:Live at Donington ,was released concurrently. [3] The double album AC/DC Live:2 CD Collector's Edition was released a month after the single-disc version,in a slipcased two-disc "book" (similar in shape to old CD longboxes) and containing an AC/DC dollar note known as "Angus Bucks". Both editions of the album were re-released in 2003 as part of the AC/DC Remasters series.

Barry Weber of AllMusic writes:"All too often,a live album is a cheaply made,rushed recording that only serves as a testament to a band's decline. AC/DC Live,however,shows what makes this band different from their peers - here they are still entirely capable of pulling off a great live show. This ranks among the best live Rock 'N' Roll albums of the '90s." Classic Rock wrote that "Live is a triumphant refutation to anyone who still claims 'DC died with Bon. Jonno [Brian Johnson] is in fine voice and good humour throughout,and the live setting gives Angus space to stretch out a bit."
