AC/DC (formed in November 1973) is a seminal and highly revered Australian hard rock band hailing from Sydney, on the south-east coast of Australia.

Guitarist Malcolm Young formed AC/DC with fifteen year-old younger brother and lead guitarist Angus Young in 1973. With the addition of vocalist Bon Scott, bassist Mark Evans and drummer Philip Rudd, the band’s first four albums established AC/DC as a solid hard-rock act across the U.S. Known for their huge riffs and macho lyricism over simple yet rowdy and aggressive power chords, the band earned a hardy and devoted following early on, but didn’t break into the charts until the 1979 platinum album “Highway to Hell”.

In 1980 lead singer Bon Scott died after choking on his own vomit following a night of all-out drinking and was replaced by the ex-Geordie vocalist Brian Johnson two months later. Johnson’s vocal debut came on “Back in Black” which enjoyed a year-long run in the U.S. chart, selling over 22 million copies, which made in the fifth best-selling album in U.S. history.

Throughout the ‘80s and ’90s AC/DC released a solid stream of albums that earned the band their highly revered and seminal status. “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap”, a reissue of their 1976 “Australian” LP arrived in 1981, followed by the group’s first No. 1 album “For Those About to Rock, We Salute You” the same year, “Flick of the Switch” appeared in 1983 and “Fly on the Wall” in 1985. These made way for the multi-platinum “Maximum Overdrive” soundtrack album “Who Made Who” and “The Razor’s Edge” in 1990, a five-times certified platinum album featuring the singles “Thunderstuck” and “Moneytalks”.

The release of the band’s twelfth studio album “Ballbreaker” in 1995 saw the return of drummer Phil Rudd to the mix, and was succeeded by the five-CD box set “Bonfire” (1997) featuring a selection of live tracks and a remastered version of “Back in Black”. “Stiff Upper Lip” arrived in 2000 reaching No. 7 on the Billboard 200 album chart, followed by the usual extensive and elaborately designed tour schedule.

After an eight year wait for fans, AC/DC returned with the release of “Black Ice” in 2008. The album attempted to recapture the sound and feel of the band’s early material and quickly became a commercial success, finding the top of the charts in 29 countries including the U.S. In 2009 with the release of the nostalgic box set “Backtracks” came an announcement from the Recording Industry of America that AC/DC were the ninth-best selling artist in U.S. history.

“Rock or Bust”, AC/DC’s fifteenth studio album was released in 2014 on Sony Records. The release brought a 40 year anniversary tour and marked the departure of original member Malcolm Young who suffering from dementia was replaced by his nephew Stevie Young.

Angus solo,

Highway to hell,

For those about to rock,

Was a great show as always, (been watching them live since 1986)

New in the line up was Stevie Young, and the return of Chris Slade (from the Razors edge tour)

Slade appeared to labor and fight through some of the songs when the camera was on him, but kept the beat and tempo well.

Stevie looked panicked and a little intimidated on stage, but have to give him credit for jumping in for Malcolm it was obvious he hasn't done this for the 42 years the other band-mates have.

I've rather gotten used to the fact that Clive and Malcolm were always in the background until it was time to sing back up vocals, so this was no different,

Clive and Stevie did a great job, and the background vocals sounded much better than the Black Ice tour from 5 years ago when I last saw them in Las Vegas.

It has always been all about Angus and Brian Johnson running around the stage.

This venue was amazing, the atmosphere was electric, and my estimate for the crowd was 70,000

From my seats the entire floor (soccer pitch) was packed, and even the steady rain that had been falling all day was not enough to damper spirits,

the crowd was ready to party.

The opening act, (sorry I don't know the name)

appeared to be a local German cover band, pandering to the crowd with hits from the 80's and sang local drinking songs to get the crowd pumped.

The next act Vintage Trouble, had great energy, the lead singer reminded me of a Chuck Berry, James Brown, and Jimmy Hendrix mix, had great vocals, and worked the stage hard, however the crowd just wasn't responding to the blues-rock sound they were pounding out.

Up next ACDC,

there really isn't anything I can say about this band that hasn't been said.

They work hard, played the classic hits that have spawned generations of rockers

and are simply amazing.

The setlist was pretty much an even split of Johnson, and Bon Scott songs,

It was a nice throwback having at least 9 songs that came from the 70's

Song that was removed from previous shows, "the jack" was a nice change.

I personally have always felt it was a mood killer and brought down the tempo of the crowd even though that was taking away from the crowd to repeat "the jack" over and over,

This also eliminated Angus' "strip-tease"

not sure if it was because of the weather, or Angus doesn't want to expose his 60 year old butt anymore,

but his solo, which rocked kept the 70,000 fans standing all night long.

Johnson appeared to have a mic issue nearing the end of the concert, and his frustration and emotions were caught, but still pushed through,

as a long time fan I can only give this a 5/5 rating.

Looking forward to their return to North America in the fall.

Attending a concert in a giant corporate arena is a necessary evil when it comes to seeing high-profile bands with a large stage presence, but when done right, those arena-ready bands can make you forget the hell you’re living in. AC/DC flipped that script right on its head last night when they brought their Rock or Bust World Tour to the Pepsi Center. For the Australian rockers, Hell isn’t a place to be avoided, it is to be celebrated. So when the lights went down on the capacity crowd, thousands of red devil-horns lit the seats as Denver welcomed the iconic band back to the Northern Hemisphere. A space odyssey scene played out on the giant screen before everything was blown to bits when Brian Johnson and Angus Young took the stage to rattle brains with the title track off their latest album. By packing a stadium-sized show into a modestly-sized arena, the band achieved maximum visual and sonic impact, proving that Hell really ain’t a bad place to be.

One of my first large-scale rock shows was AC/DC’s Ballbreaker Tour at San Diego Sports Arena. Some friends and I had 2nd row tickets for my 19th birthday. That was on February 12th, 1996. Twenty years later (almost to the day), I found myself doing the same thing in a different city with different friends. Having attended hundreds of shows since that night in San Diego, I didn’t think there was any way an aging AC/DC could impress the way they did back then. I was wrong. The absence of Malcolm Young (due to serious health issues) is something that has to be mentioned, just out of pure respect, but his nephew, the 57-year-old Stevie Young, provided more than enough coverage to keep the band tight. And while Chris Slade kept his personality in the background all night, he is no stranger to touring with the band, so the troubled Phil Rudd was hardly missed on drums. In all reality, any capable musicians would have done fine though, because all eyes were on Angus Young and Brian Johnson the entire night. Those guys must have truly made a deal with the devil, because their style, attitude, energy, and even their attire, hasn’t aged a day in the two decades since I last saw them. - See more at: http://ilistensoyoudonthaveto.com/2016/02/09/acdc-pepsi-center-02-08-16/#sthash.o9wcFq2q.dpuf

Awesome gig, AC/DC still know how to put on a great show! They know what the crowd want, and romp through their greatest hits including the Bon Scott days, still finding time for three from the new album.

All the theatrical elements are there - the great bell for Hells Bells, the cannons for For Those About To Rock, the inflatable Rosie, Angus' frenzied guitar solo. For Scotland we were also treated to a few bars of Loch Lomond as the intro to Highway to Hell, a nice touch. The only thing missing is Angus' long-standing striptease and mooning of the audience - is he now too old to do it, or is it now considered too bad taste? Who knows...

Malcolm Young was fondly remembered by the crowd, who started chants of "Malcolm! Malcolm!" instead of the usual "Angus! Angus!" from time to time, but no mention was made by the band - in fact we got no banter from Brian at all. Stevie Young filled in his uncle's place effectively, but the show has always been about Angus and Brian, so it didn't have a significant effect. Chris Slade did a solid job on the drums, and was probably quite happy that Phil Rudd's dubious legal problems gave him a chance to re-join the band.

Will this be the last big AC/DC tour? Time will tell. It's been a while since the last one, and many would never have expected the band would continue without Malcolm. But Angus still struts around with amazing energy for a 60-year-old, and there will always be an audience for them, so he may not be hanging up his schoolboy cap quite yet.

It was wet, very wet. Hives had done there job and done it well. The stage was set and with a surreal video, lighting system, pyrotechnics and a sound system dreams are made of, the show began ...

"Ahh Sydney, good to be back" Brian sighed almost longingly as he moved into 'Rock or Bust' as the rain drizzled onstage. Between each song, a quick retreat to wipe faces, hands and fretboards, roadies wiping the stage, one knew they were up against it especially when Angus took off his now soaked coat, donned only in a white soggy shirt and shorts being somewhat careful in his customary shuffle along the stage, but shuffle he did, no quarter was given.

Wet hair flicking water everywhere as Angus took to the long stage extension, now raised for 'Let There Be Rock' and an extended lead solo as bluesy and crisp as it gets by Angus duck-walking onto the podium, raised even higher with another blistering lead break while spinning around "Curly" style as the crowd, horns held high, called for more!

Cliff Williams as solid as ever pounded the Bass while drummer Chris Slade was unrelenting, not missing a beat. Stevie Young at home on Rhythm Guitar, deep in concentration, a fitting and honourable replacement for Malcolm.

Nothing replaces years of committed touring and AC/DC are the epitome of hard work and a lifelong dedication to their craft.

AC/DC has been around just about forever, sold tens of millions of albums worldwide, and won a dozen awards, so your expectations for a live show should be high. I first saw them at the Tacoma Dome in June, 1988, and wasn't disappointed.

Seeing AC/DC live back then was like being hit by a steamroller. And it's the same if you see them today – the crowd at an AC/DC show these days is a mix of young and older fans, but we're all rocking out together. Once they start, they blast through hit after hit, and you know when they play "Let There Be Rock" it sets the tone for the rest of the show.

The floor ends up just being a mass of bodies, cheering and jumping up and down with fists in the air, gaining more energy with every word sung by Brian Johnson - a little guy with a lot of voice. The best songs are always: "Back in Black," "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap," "Whole Lotta Rosie," and "It's a Long Way to the Top," all of which I can safely say are awesome live - and they really are.

AC/DC may be getting older but they aren't mellowing. They still put on a great show and sound as good as they did 25 years ago. Their live show is perfect for new and longtime fans alike, so if you get the chance to see them, do yourself a favor and go.

There is not much to say about the Australian rocker with an over-fondness for school attire AC/DC apart from they are considered icons of rock. They show no signs of tiring despite having formed as a band over 40 years ago.

They continue to wow fans all over the globe and pack out their shows with a mixture of dedicated fans who have followed their career from the offset to the new-age fans who have discovered and enjoy their influence on modern rock. Enthusiastic as ever, Angus Young leads the band into an all cannons blazing rendition of 'Rock 'N' Roll Train' which delights the audiences below.

They are not the most enthusiastic of crowds being as the majority of the audience are now reaching their fifties yet the roar of applause at the end of each track is thanks enough. Classics such as 'Hells Bells' and 'High Voltage' are a joy to see performed live whilst the closing anthemic 'Let Their Be Rock' shows the band's dedication to the music.

Perhaps the track everyone wants to see, 'Highway To Hell' is saved for the encore and this song that defined a chapter in rock is just as brilliant as you would imagine.

Some bagged the first gig on the 12th, don't know, I was at Fleetwood Mac. The rain and thunder around the stadium joined the Best Live Rock Band in History on stage. They took Kingswood and the Hives to school... this IS how to Rock 'N' Roll. Angus, Angus had us in the palm of his hand... no one does this like ANGUS, he was his usual, just amazing. Brian, well ok he doesn't hit the high notes and doesn't try, but it's overlooked in his performance, the gravel voice of the new guy, does justice to Bon's songs,so who gives a shit, were all aging a little. AC/DC have been doing this since they made it big with Jailbreak in 1974 and of course that massive leap in 1980 with the New Guy. From the back of a truck to a world wide phenomenon,Let There Be Rock!

The show? Awesome.

From opening video to pryotechnics during the encore, all top notch.

The actual performance was stellar - they still have it. The tempo never dropped.

I loved the amount of location-specific merchandise.

The problem? The seating chart when we bought our extra-pricey-but-totally-worth-it tickets was not what we actually were sitting at. Per the chart, we should have been, floor, front and center between main stage and catwalk. instead, our entire section was moved behind the section that was stage-right, and suddenly, we can't even tell there's a catwalk.

I don't know if this was the tour, the promoters, the venue, but it was a royally dick move - all to sell just a few more tickets.

anerak’s profile image

the performance itself was great, as expected. but there were some side problems.

1- There was just one mentioned time on the tickets, 18:00. Of course it wasn't the time which ACDC comes on stage but it wasn't the door opening time either. We were there around 17:30 and half of the field was already occupied, so we didn't get a proper place. Next time I wish for better information about the door opening time.

2- after the concert, conducting the people to the exit doors was awful. we were standing on our feet for like 45 minutes without moving a single step. I don't know what was happening in the front but that situation was tiring and also very dangerous.

Between 1976 and 1980 AC/DC recorded a bunch of albums that will remain among the greatest ever made. The band are a lot older now but they play these classic tunes flawlessly.

The band continued without a blip when they lost their singer in 1980 and they've done it again. Axl Rose was an unexpected choice to stand in for Brian Johnson but despite my suspicion he sang brilliantly.

And then there's Angus Young. This is his band and his show and he is a truly amazing entertainer.

You know what you're gonna get from an AC/DC show - no nonsense rock'n'roll but these songs are so good. Rock shows just don't get better than this.

AC/DC at Power Trip: if this is the band's last hurrah, they've gone out with an incredible, weekend-stealing set for the ages

Ac/dc's headline performance at power trip featured hits, debuts and rarities aplenty.

AC/DC onstage at Power Trip

It's a miracle that AC/DC still exist. Between wayward drummers, retired bassists and cited hearing issues that forced singer Brian Johnson to sit out the majority of the band's 2016 tour - Guns N' Roses vocalist Axl Rose guesting in his place - it was starting to look like a very real possibility that we might never see the band again. And good god, what a tragedy that would have been. 

Seven years away might have added a few more creaks and groans to the band's frame, but a sprawling 24-song set soon blows the cobwebs off as they pull out hits, rarities and even a few new tracks for their Power Trip headline spot. Kicking off with If You Want Blood (You've Got It) , AC/DC don't so much ease themselves in as leap headfirst, anthems coming thick and fast as Back In Black, Shot Down In Flames and Thunderstruck all fly out as early inclusions. 

A band built for - and from - the sweat of live performance, it's refreshing to see how surprisingly austere their production is. Yes, the on-stage visuals are gorgeous, but there are no massive trains, bulldozers or even an inflatable Rosie this time out; the focus instead being drawn entirely to the band on-stage and the sheer magic of their performance (and maybe the odd massive bell).  

“How lovely's this? Nice to see ya. Let’s get rocking and rolling.” Johnson remains a cheeky and lively presence on-stage, looking like one of the more hale members of the group as even Angus has to tone down his duckwalking antics to selected songs ( Shoot To Thrill and Let There Be Rock , if you're asking). But what he lacks in physical theatrics, he makes up for in instrumental wizardry, his every touch sending the guitar wailing as if 50,000 volts are being blasted through it. 

And when the guitar isn't screaming, the fans are. Power Up tracks Demon Fire and Shot In The Dark receive a warm welcome as new boogie-friendly additions to the band's canon, but it's anthems like Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap , Whole Lotta Rosie and You Shook Me All Night Long that have voices roaring into the night sky. But there's a place for hits and rarities alike in the set, a two-hour extravaganza that throws up a miscellany of styles and tones.

Much like the ship of Theseus – or Trigger’s broom if you’d rather a reference from the last century – AC/DC have changed enough over the past 50 years that it can be hard to reconcile the band that wrote rock'n'roll tracks that take off at 100mph like Riff Raff with the more blues based Have A Drink On Me or Stiff Upper Lip . Yet the band approach each with the same expert craftmanship that ensures nothing but good times and massive smiles all around, indisputably AC/DC in everything they put their hand to. 

By the time AC/DC signal for the 21-gun salute of For Those About To Rock (We Salute You) , there's no doubt in our minds that they are still the greatest rock'n'roll stars to ever (duck) walk the planet. Whether Power Trip remains a one-off, or the staging ground for another massive global tour remains to be seen. But even if this is the band's last hurrah, there's no better way to go out than with a final almighty showing of raucous, rougish rock'n'roll that is celebrated the world over. Oft-copied, never surpassed.

AC/DC Sells Staggering Amount of Tickets in One Day for Upcoming European Tour

F ormed in 1973, the iconic AC/DC appeared to helm the new wave of British heavy metal bands with talents like Brian Johnson on vocals and Angus Young on guitar. Throughout their time on the stage, the band released a total of 17 studio albums, with their last Power Up hitting shelves back in 2020. But while four years passed since their last album, the band has no desire to slow down as they announced their Power Up tour. Excited about hitting the road again, it appears that AC/DC aren’t the only ones excited after fans rushed to get tickets. 

Discussing the upcoming tour with AC/DC, Chris Dalston, who is a co-head of international touring at CAA, told Pollstar about how the band anxiously waited for tickets to go on sale. “We believed it was going to be one of the biggest tours ever, but you just never know until you put tickets on sale. It’s like Christmas the night before we went on sale. You can’t sleep, you’re nervous.”

[RELATED: 6 Songs You Didn’t Know Bon Scott Wrote Before His AC/DC Days]

While nervous, Dalston soon found the band selling out numerous shows and selling over 1.5 million tickets. And all that happened in a single day. “They sold 1.5 million tickets in one day. … It’s staggering and it gives you great faith because they’re very particular in how they conduct their business. They don’t do VIP. They don’t do dynamic ticket pricing.” He added, “They never want to hear fans complaining about ticket prices being too high.”

Chris Dalston Shares Concerns Surrounding AC/DC Tour

With AC/DC continuing to prove their dominance, Dalston turned his attention to the actual tour, which kicks off in Germany in May. He said, “As agents, we have to think about a lot of things that we didn’t have to think about many years ago, like the weather. One of the reasons the tour starts in Germany was because we had to find somewhere to rehearse for a week. And then it goes immediately into Italy and Spain because we believed if it gets to July and August, it’s going to be way too hot and very dangerous for the fans and the band to be outside.” 

Besides making it comfortable and affordable for both the fans and AC/DC . Dalston also worried about Johnson. “We have to be very careful of Brian’s [Johnson] voice that we don’t push it, that he feels comfortable in the schedule.” While hectic to say the least, AC/DC returns to the stage this May.
