Clearly, I'm not in AC/DC but its odd that on that huge of a stage everyone's hanging out on the riser - ex Brian.

Seriously wondering if the drummer had a panic attack before going on.

The guitars do sound MUCH better than the desert gig last fall which was a total trainwreck.

Brian, does not sound good at all. Again, dude's 75, but still..........

Wait, what? Is that what goes for great sounding Brian these days? Maybe it's the recording but it sounds like he lost most of his power. Not comparing to 80s Brian, big difference even from 2010.

Assuming there isn’t the usual setlist fm hijinx, 24 songs is an impressive set list for a bunch of senior citizens.

Let's call it what it is:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He6vCvl4lTM

Drummer is not on beat at all. Rushing the tempo.

Brian, well.......

One of the things thats a hard pass for me is the "huddling" around the riser for 2 minutes between every song.....

Some things are better when they end.

Hard to complain about a 24 song setlist, but DAMN, could we have some deep cuts? Like, would it kill them to play Big Gun, Flick of The Switch, or That's the Way I Want to Rock and Roll?

At least when Axl was singing for them, we would get random Bon Scott stuff like Touch Too Much or Problem Child.

Was every band that opened better than AC DC i think so
LA Guns
The Poor
Slash Snakepit not great but has Slash
Love Hate

Money Talks is the only good song
It was such disappointment listening to all previous CDs

AC DC is definitely overrated band
Jani Lane and Bret Michaels should form a band called "Nelson II"

At a very quick glance- live groove was at 144bpms, the recorded track is 141.
up 3 bpms isn't crazy for a live performance

91-donnington w/ slade - @144
88 Simon Wright -@164 !!
2003 Rudd @141

Matt Laug is a great drummer for this gig and he looks like a "young" so there's that. I wouldn't bum over 3bpms

King`s X and AC/DC in 1991 is the one I'd pick.

Yeah not bad for a 76 year old deaf dude … definitely better than the last show.

Angus is still not human.

Brian may finish this tour but what’s left of his voice will not.

Wrong drummer.

Anyone named after Anthrax, who have become the Poison of the Big Four, shan't complain about any other band's setlist, ever. And really, that AC/DC is great all things considered.

Guess not
Kings X..2/10
AC DC ..3/10

I left during Kings X show - Dirty Looks already played that night

Queensryche fashion would have made that watchable without going to the snack bar for chocolate malt
Fresno arena always sold “malt” never knew what that was as a kid. Came with wooden spoon to eat with.
Malt > Queensryche AC DC show

Unbelievable set list, but not paying these insane prices for this questionable line up and having to commute far to get to the stadiums and book hotels etc. I will just leave it at Black Ice, that was a good book end to it all.

They literally just did a tour before the XL tour where they played Among the Living front to back, and they just put Medusa, Keep it in the Family, and Metal Thrashing Mad back in the setlist for their headlining shows.

But please, feel free to continue to troll with your big 34 post count.

I wish someone would track down Phil Rudd and find out why he's not drumming. He's integral to the band, like Malcolm was - at least Stevie is family and a good fit.

I'm sure it just comes down to too much of a legal headache to deal with whatever travel restrictions he might have after 2014.

Also, I'm not going to debate who the best drummer for AC/DC is or anything like that, but let's not act like Phil has ALWAYS been there. He wasn't there for their commercial peak from 1983 to 1994, and the only thing he's done with the band in the last 10 years is record the drums on Power Up.

Wasn't most of the time Phil was away their commercial low point? Between the peak of HTH-BIB-FTATR and the revival with Razors Edge (which he wasn't on but still?)

But yes, legal issues plus he is a bit... let's say difficult. He had a psychologist with him on tour and on the HTH tour he had to be taken to hospital a couple of times to be able to get any kind of sleep.
