That's not a live album but a studio one. Their classic live album is If You Want Blood You've Got It.

According to All Music they give it the perfect five star score, so I think we're in the minority here.

Not to mention, Brian Johnson may be a better singer than Bon Scott, but he has no personality of his own, only volume.
I gotta say I really like Back in Black but do agree with your descriptions of both Bon Scott and Brian Johnson.
