Live at River Plate

Live at River Plate is a live concert film documenting AC/DC’s Black Ice World Tour. The DVD includes footage from three concerts performed in December 2009 at the Estadio Antonio Vespucio Liberti in Buenos Aires, Argentina [1], which is the home stadium of Argentinian football club River Plate. It was directed by David Mallet, with Rocky Oldham as producer.[1] The recording of the concerts required the use of 32 HD cameras; a company called Serpent Productions was responsible for filming and then producing the footage of the concerts.[1] It was also the band’s last live album to feature rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young, and bassist Cliff Williams; Young, before his retirement from touring due to dementia five years later and his death in 2017, and Williams, who later left the band due to his retirement from the music industry in 2016.
