I'm going to the Oakland ,Ca show December 2nd, anyone beat me to a live performance yet this year? I imagine this show will ROCK.

My son is going to the Tacoma show.

I will let you know, what I have listened to so far is some pretty good stuff reminds me of the old days. Where did they go for 20 years?

I'm in line to go too, got someone working on tickets on my behalf. Oneway, you gonna be able to stay up long enough to get throught the concert?

i really wanted to see them, i just didn't want to see them bad enough to shell out half a paycheck for 1 ticket...

Thanks for broadcasting my sleep patterns Richard. I can stay up past midnight if I really try. It just has to be worthwhile. In Fact I went to another concert last week, not quite the hard rock of AC/DC it was 1 Republic they put on a great show too.

I saw them twice in the Aroma Dome about 15 to 20 years ago or so. Never have seen some many young gals in tight black leather mini skirts in my life! Great concerts, btw.

Careful what you guys wish for, as I'm betting those SAME gals will be at the concert...in the same outfits....just about 60 pound heavier. Half will have their teenage kids with them. If their daughters are dressed up in black mini-skirts and you are looking, than you're an old pervert!



PS. Buttrockers are old.

I'll be at the TDome show. Here's the set list from their tune up shows, I'm sure it will change.
This should be a good show:

“Rock N' Roll Train"
"Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be"
"Back In Black"
"Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap"
"Thunderstruck"
"Hell's Bells"
"You Shook Me All Night Long"
"TNT"
"Black Ice"
"Whole Lotta Rosie"
"Let There Be Rock"

Encore:
"Highway To Hell"
"For Those About To Rock"

Kev, that's what I'm talking about right there. Who could not like that set.... I'm feeling like a teenager looking forward to this. And Richard I promise not to fall asleep.

I wanted to go real bad, but I got Metallica tickets for half price in the front row. They gotta play Rock and Roll Damnation for BON. What is everyone's favorite song?

Too hard to narrow it down to one.

This is a good start, though.

Here's a real vintage vid and, hand's down, my favorite tune - 30 years of rockin' and still hitting it hard:

Bagpipes - next to the cowbell, the most underrated rock instrument.

Nice find.

that one's kind of wierd, you can hear them playing, but it's been overdubbed with the studio track from high voltage.

I like the older stuff. The Bon years. Little Lover may possibly the baddest song lyrically in rock.
Saw you in the front row
Moving to the beat
Just movin' and groovin'
Killed me when I saw
The wet patch on your seat
Was it Coca Cola?
Oh baby I hope you liked the show
When the band said goodnight
I had to say hello

Little lover, I can't get you off my mind, no
Little lover, I've been trying hard to find
Someone like you

Oh baby you sure looked sweet
Cruisin'
A leg either side
Of my motorcycle seat
Just oozin'
Could have been a nightmare
Could have been a dream
But on my way home, baby
I thought I heard you scream

Little lover, I can't get you off my mind
Little Lover, oh I tried so hard to find
Someone to give me the things that I need, ah

Little lover, I can't get you off my mind, no
Little Lover, oh I tried so hard to find
Someone like you

You had my picture on your bedroom wall
Next to Gary Glitter, yeah
I was standing on the stage playing rock 'n' roll
I was a guitar picker, yeah
Never had a record
Never had a hit
Ooh baby, you didn't mind a bit

Little lover, I can't get you off my mind
Little Lover, you know I tried so hard to find
Someone like you, you, you
Baby I know you're a

Little lover, ooh

It's all good, way too hard to pick just one.

Does anyone know of the youtube video (song) where Angus breaks a string and the roadie doesn't have a replacement so Angus leaves the stage to replace it behind stage only to return for his solo and the roadie is trying to re-attach the guitar strap in the middle of his solo? One of the great performances of all time but I can't remember which song.

whole lotta rosie!

Thanks Chum Man, found it.

Thanks Dave, every time I hear one of those songs it brings back memories, This is going to be a great show.

Well, the show was last night. It was extraordinary, those guys truly have not missed a beat. The crowd was on their feet the entire performance. The venue was sold out, mixed bag of people from 16 to damn near 60. One of the most amusing things was the number of people playing air guitar. I must admit I was one of them. Might have been the tequila or it might have been the ummmm, other stuff. When the tell you smoking is not allowed in the auditorium it is strictly restricted to not smoking cigarettes. The stage and the sound were both phenomenal. Huge, I mean huge big screen at the back of the stage. Large enough to see the sweat flying... It is hard to believe they have been doing this stuff for 30 years! I think Kev got the set almost exactly as it was performed maybe some minor adjustments. I would go again up in Tacoma if I was in the hood. Anyone who considers themselves fans would be cheating themselves if the did not go see the show. Pay the scalpers just get inside. Dan S. I hope you already have your tix.

Thanks for the review. I wondered about the concert when I walked by the mag rack in the store and saw Angus, Malcolm and Brian's picture on the cover of the new Rolling Stone.

Here's vid from the Rolling Stone's website with the lads talking about the album and other stuff:

Damn you, One Way..............daaaaaaamn you!

I didn't have tix.

I shouldn't have read that review because now I'm thinking I should have gone. I've seen them quite a few times, but they're always good.

The Seattle/Tacoma shows were Nov 29/30.

Past on this one, I'm more of a White River kinda guy...

Mf

sadly i wasn't there

i was about the pull the trigger on tickets the first day they went on sale, decided to check my checking account balance first and found out that i had been ripped off for $900. by the time i got that straightened out, they were sold out...

at least i got my money back, but i had sworn that i was going to see them after i missed their last tour, i probably won't get another shot now.

Jebus Dan.. AC/DC in town and you with no ticket is as big of a crime as my departed mother being told she would NOT be attending a Kenny Rogers gig... had I known I'd have bought you that ticket.


As you all know, I'm a huge fan myself. Bon Scott and the boys 1978 Vancover B.C is the best anything I ever saw.. who knows what kind of stuff that guy could have come up with had he lived. The best Lyric writter in like.. oh.. ever IMHO

42-39-56 BEEN THERE,, DONE THAT

My son (17) sa d it was the 2nd best concert he has seen. Chili Peppers in Portland was best.

kickin' myself too........kickin' myself hard for not going.....gd it.....gd it all straight to hades.............poopcrapdangit.

Brian Johnson is 61 years old now , this was his last tour. F!

I figgured B-RUN wasn't stupid enough to let AC/DC come through town without seeing them. And I agree with you..........Bon was a lyrical master and with Angus on his SG, they had a thing that worked so well together it was like a well-oiled machine. What would the disc/album after H2H have sounded like?

This has been, all around, a pretty f*cked up year for me. Missing the bad boys in concert was just the latest thing on a loooong list. I will NOT mind seeing 2008 go into the history books.

Dan, you can still fly down and make Oakland tonight. The friend I went with Tuesday is going again tonight. That is a bit over the top. I tell you what if someone approached me today I bet I would take them up on it...

The T-Dome show was great! Very, very loud but the sound was awesome! The place was sold out, 21,000 people all on their feet for the entire show. A friend of ours tagged along to buy a ticket at the show, walked up to the door, walked past one of the ticket takers as she was scanning a ticket and sat next to us the entire show, unbelievable! I remember the days of old, getting pat down or the metal wand. I saw folks with digi-cameras, video cameras, etc. It was a great show!
Through a friend who some inside info, there is rumors that the Boys will be back through Seattle in the summer of 2009.

Kev

Dan.. I live in Boise and did not go to the show. But as a guy who I know for fact is a straight up dude with something that we have that much in common.. I'd have bought ya one anyway.,,,

Word...

SRC guys.. hope ur havin a blast !!!
