Live at Donington is the DVD recording of the AC/DC rock show at Castle Donington on 17 August 1991, and it was the bands third "Monsters Of Rock" festival. The show was a 2 hour performance that included real cannons, the Hells Bell, an inflatable Rosie and an inflatable Angus.[1] It was filmed in 35 mm Panavision and had 26 cameras that included one situated inside a helicopter.

The DVD includes special features such as stereo and 5.1 surround sound, Iso-cam versions of certain songs for different band members, and audio commentary from Angus and Malcolm Young.[1]

Bonus features include audio commentary by band members Angus Young (lead guitar), Malcolm Young (rhythm guitar), Brian Johnson (vocals) and Cliff Williams (bass). Another option allows fans to focus on just one member for the length of a song. Fans can watch all Angus, all the time on “Thunderstruck,” “Back In Black,” and “Highway To Hell”. The option is offered for Malcolm on “T.N.T.,” Brian on “Whole Lotta Rosie” and Cliff on “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.” One other feature is a full catalogue discography with audio interview of all international albums.

Despite the commercial success of the DVD, many hardcore fans were disappointed that the audio was fixed, with many differences than the original video, though the DVD released in Brazil still has original audio
