ACDC live- an EPIC addition to your Rock Band library!

When I was considering buying this add-on for nearly $40 (now it's 30 brand new exclusively at Wal Mart/ ACDC's site, and here on eBay) I was skeptical about paying so much for just a few songs - some of which I hadn't heard of - from a single band. I was also skeptical about the quality of the tracks, as many "Live" tracks are garbage.
However, when I popped in this standalone and cranked up THUNDERSTRUCK (the first track) it exceeded all of my expectations. ACDC's live performance is epic. The real fan ambiance in the background only serves to pump you up even more. And though many of the bass and drum sections are a little repetitive at times, the live guitar and vocals are incredibly fun and may be more challenging than the non-live recordings. The guitar solos especially are top-notch good times. Though not as impossible as some would like, you really feel like a rock god, especially with all those screaming fans!
A note to buyers: If you plan to buy this on eBay, you can buy it without the code and have the standalone game, which is absolutely fine (and all that is needed if you only have Rock Band 1). But if you'd rather not switch disks and have these tracks included in your Rock Band 2 library, then make sure to get one WITH a code so you can import the songs into Rock Band 2.
All in all, this is a definite buy for any fan or Rock Band or ACDC. Even if some of the parts are repetitive, you can't help but stand up and jam out with your friends like a rock-wannabe nerd.
For those about to rock, we salute you!
