AC/DC: Let There Be Rock is a live concert motion picture featuring the Australian hard rock band AC/DC, released theatrically in September 1980 (see 1980 in music) and on videotape the same year. It was filmed at the Pavillon de Paris in Paris, France on 9 December 1979 (see 1979 in music), and also contains interviews with members of the band, including lead vocalist Bon Scott, who had died two months after filming. The concert film was re-released on a Blu-ray/DVD double pack along with a collector's tin, concert pictures, a souvenir guitar pick, and a 32 page booklet, or just as Blu-ray or DVD individual sets on 7 June 2011. Only 90,000 of the collectors tins were made, and each labeled with a number out of 90,000 on the base of the tin.
Though it shares a name with AC/DC's fourth studio album, Let There Be Rock, the movie also includes live versions of songs from T.N.T., Powerage, and Highway to Hell. The movie's poster and videotape package featured similar cover art to that used on the most-widely distributed editions of the Let There Be Rock album.
In 1997 (see 1997 in music), an expanded audio recording of this concert was released on CD as Let There Be Rock: The Movie – Live in Paris, on discs 2-3 of the Bonfire box set. In addition to the 13 tracks included on the movie, the CD also contains a live version of "T.N.T.".

Famous quotes containing the word rock:
“Never before since Jamestown and Plymouth Rock has our American civilization been in such danger as now.... [The Nazis] have made it clear that not only do they intend to dominate all life and thought in their own country, but also to enslave the whole of Europe, and then to use the resources of Europe to dominate the rest of the world.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
