Columbia Records has posted exclusive video footage from the official premiere party of AC/DC's Live At River Plate DVD in London, England from May 6th at the HMV Hammersmith Apollo. Over 3,500 fans, media, comp winners and Sony staff from around the globe attended the premiere with AC/DC who arrived to nearly 1,000 fans waiting outside the venue! Upon arriving, the band signed fan autographs and talked to media on the black carpet (which included two cannons from the tour positioned on either side!). Once inside, the band were introduced on stage via an on screen message from OZZY OSBOURNE followed by Brian Johnson saying a few words on behalf of the band.
