DVD Review: Long Way to the Top LIVE
Reviewed by Sally Murphy

The cream of Australian music on a double DVD.



In August 2001 the ABC showed what became the most succesful documentary series about Australian music ever. Long Way to the Top traced the development of Australia's music industry, combining great music with inside stories, interviews and archival footage. Following the success of this series, the Long way to the Top concert series toured Australia in August 2002, attracting total crowds of 160 000 to 18 concerts.

Now, the highlights of this concert series are available to enjoy on DVD, Video and CD. Featuring songs from Coly Joye, Normie Rowe, Billie Thorpe, Chain, Masters Apprentices, Marcia Hines and more, this is a music experience not to be missed. The DVD, with extra features including back-stage interviews with artists and a photo gallery, retails for a recommended price of AU$59.95, whilst the double CD version (41 Tracks) has a recommended price of $39.95. A great investment.
