Rating metrics: Help Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)

This album is rated in the top 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.3/100, a mean average of 78.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

Excellent live album. Better than any compilation as the tracks on here are all classic AC/DC. Don't like the cover image but the message is clear, 'if you want blood, you've got it'.

Very rare for a live album to be anywhere near as good as a studio album, but here it is. Not better, far superior! The greatest live album in history!

It's alright but not dynamic for a live album. Prefer the studio albums myself

One of the great live albums, and there's not many truly great live albums.

This album is part of my personal album top 100 which you can check out with also additional comments.
I discovered "Whole Lotta Rosie" by AC/DC which entered the Belgian and Dutch hitparades in June 1978 and it really blew my mind. In fact it was a pity that I listened to the radio version because the guitar solo on the album version (Let There Be Rock) was much better (and longer) but I didn't know that at that time.
Anyhow I prefer their fantastic live album "If You Want Blood You've Got It" on which this song also appears. Of course like all real AC/DC lovers I prefer the Bon Scott period ;)
Other real standouts on this album are "Let There Be Rock" and "The Jack". AC/DC is still one of the bands I would have like to see live and I suppose it's too late now.

this album is part of my personal top 100: check it out!
Still mainly focused on listening to the radio instead of buying albums, I discovered "Whole Lotta Rosie" by AC/DC which entered the Belgian and Dutch hitparades in June 1978 and really blew my mind.
