Since making a splash in their native Australia in 1975, AC/DC have become one of the world's most popular and enduring hard rock bands, reveling in their signature brand of no-frills blues-based rock and roll for over three decades and selling out arenas and stadiums around the world. AC/DC: Plug Me In is the follow-up to 2005's AC/DC: The Family Jewels, a two-DVD set that collected some of the best moments of the band captured on film and video, and this double-disc set delivers a similarly strong variety of television appearances and concert footage showing the group at their onstage best. Most of the material on Plug Me In appears in the full-frame aspect ratio of 1.33:1, though some of the later concert video is letterboxed at 1.78:1. The quality of the source material varies quite a bit, especially on disc one (covering the early years of the group), but in this case the historical value of the material certainly trumps the flaws, especially in video tape of the band playing at an Australian high school in 1976, or highlights from a powerhouse show in Tokyo in 1981 which seem to have been rescued from a VHS recording. The audio, like the video, varies in quality, but most of the recordings range from good to excellent, and the mastering in PCM Stereo is loud and powerfully present. The interviews and stage banter are translated in optional subtitles in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish, though the song lyrics are not. Bonus material are tagged at the end of each disc (and will play through if one selects the "play all" function), including additional interviews, television appearances, rehearsals and an animated short (created for the 1996 "Ballbreaker" tour) in which guitarist Angus Young meets Beavis and Butthead. The set also includes a "rockbox" function that allows viewers to pick and choose from each disc's selections and play them in the order they choose, as well as a "random" function that pulls up a different song each time. The disc's on-screen graphics, intended to mimic a video game, are unattractive and sometimes hard to read, but the content is pure joy for fans of AC/DC, and fans of the Aussie maulers will certainly want to have this in their collection.
