In September 1991, only a month after the
August Putsch failed, 1.6 million rock and metal music fans converged in Moscow at Tushino airfield for the first open-air rock concert, as part of the
Monsters of Rock series. For Those About to Rock: Monsters in Moscow also offers a look at the efforts of the
Soviet Army to try to postpone the concert (not on the original VHS release). The concert was completely free, causing many people to flock to the concert.
The versions of "
Whole Lotta Rosie" and "The Jack" that
AC/DC performed at this concert were released on two of AC/DC's live albums, AC/DC Live and AC/DC Live: 2 CD Collector's Edition.
