Live at Donington is the DVD recording of the Australian rock band AC/DC‘s show at Donington Park on 17 August 1991, directed by David Mallet; it was the band's third Monsters of Rock festival. The two-hour show was performed before 72,500[https://web.archive.org/web/20110927162233/http://www.crabsodyinblue.com/acdcmonsters.htm Monsters of Rock Festivals ] spectators and included real cannons, the Hells Bell, an inflatable Rosie and two inflatable Anguses: one to the right of the stage, and one in the back of the stage during Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be.{{cite video |people=AC/DC (Band), David Mallet (Director) |date=2003-11-11 |title="AC/DC - Live at Donington" |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0337566/ |medium=DVD |publisher=Sony |access-date=2008-01-07 |ASIN=B0000E2FLC }} It was filmed in 35 mm Panavision and had 26 cameras that included one situated inside a helicopter. The DVD includes special features such as stereo and 5.1 surround sound, Iso-cam versions of certain songs for different band members, and audio commentary from Angus and Malcolm Young.

Another option allows the viewer to focus on just one member for the length of a song. This option is available for Angus Young on "Thunderstruck", "Back in Black", and "Highway to Hell". The option is offered for Malcolm Young on "T.N.T.", Brian Johnson on "Whole Lotta Rosie" and Cliff Williams on "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap". For unknown reasons, this option was not available for Chris Slade. One other feature is a full catalogue discography with audio interview of all international albums.

Despite the commercial success of the DVD, many hardcore fans were disappointed that the audio was ‘fixed’ with various overdubs, resulting in many differences from the original audio, although the DVD officially released in Brazil used the original audio, this is due to it most likely being a transfer from the original laserdisc. The tracks from Live at Donington on AC/DC Live use the original audio.

The audio was used for the Harmonix game AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack.
