This week Allan welcomes back the amazing AC/DC.  Anchored by one of rock's most rhythmic duos - brothers Angus and Malcolm - and buoyed by the infamous throaty drawl of singer Brian Johnson, Stiff Upper Lip not only serves up the kind of carnal shards that fans have come to expect, (it's their first studio album in five years) but also tips its hat to the blues-rock-roots of AC/DC and brother/producer George Young - who returns to the work the boards for the first time since 1978's classic Powerage.

"Malcolm and I were sitting around going over possible producers one day," recalls Angus.  "We started talking about records and stuff and the idea of using George again just snapped into our heads at the same time.  Obviously he knows what AC/DC is all about. For us there has always been that subtle blues element in what we do.  All good rock has that foundation of the blues in it somewhere."

The relentless power chords of AC/DC have ruled the likes of rock music and endured through all of its varying forms for nearly three decades. There's not a rock band on MTV or in the basement that doesn't bow before the masters of dirty deeds. Stiff Upper Lip Live captures AC/DC where they shine most - in front of thousands of their rabid fans. Stiff Upper Lip Live was recorded in 2001 in Munich, Germany on their sold out Stiff Upper Lip tour and features 21 incredible versions of songs spanning their 25 year career.
