AC/DC comes exclusively to Rock Band beginning this November for the worldwide release of "AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack" by Harmonix. The exclusive deal with Columbia Records and AC/DC marks the first time ever the band has included an entire album for video game play, with 18 live tracks from their live performances becoming available in one standalone game. The game will be available exclusively in the U.S. at Walmart and Sam's Club this November as a part of the retailer's upcoming AC/DC program, and in retailers throughout Europe, Australia and New Zealand beginning in early December.

AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack will feature the master recordings from the best of the band's live performances. The live recording was specially remixed for Rock Band by Mike Fraser. The game features 18 tracks, with more than 99 minutes of game play for each instrument:

"Thunderstruck"
"Shoot to Thrill"
"Back in Black"
"Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be"
"Heatseeker"
"Fire Your Guns"
"Jailbreak"
"The Jack"
"Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap"

"High Voltage"
"Whole Lotta Rosie"
"You Shook Me All Night Long"
"T.N.T."
"Let There Be Rock"
"Highway To Hell"
"For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)"

All tracks from the AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack will also be available for play in Rock Band and Rock Band 2. AC/DC's anthem "Let There Be Rock" is featured in Rock Band 2 – the first time the group has been included in a music-based video game. AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack follows the release of AC/DC's first album of all-new material in eight years, Black Ice.
