For Those About to Rock: Monsters in Moscow [1] is a 1992 film featuring live performances by rock and heavy metal bands AC/DC, Metallica, The Black Crowes, Pantera, and E.S.T. [ru] in the Tushino Airfield in Moscow, during the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

On September 28, 1991, only a month after the August Putsch failed, 500,000 (the figure stated in the notes of the original VHS and subsequent DVD release) 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. 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.
