AC/DC IN CONCERT:
With dozens of driving anthems and countless epic concerts under their belt, AC/DC has become one of the most successful and recognizable hard rock bands ever. Powerhouse numbers like "You Shook Me All Night Long," "Highway to Hell," and "Back in Black" get ticket buyers headbanging along from the first few iconic chords, while a pyrotechnic stage show complete with fireworks, Jumbotrons, and stacks of cranked amplifiers ensures the whole arena sees, hears, and feels the thunder from start to finish. Legendary duck-walking guitarist Angus Young keeps crowds pumped with his relentless energy, doling out crushing riffs and lightning-fast licks with swagger to spare. And on the 2016 Rock or Bust Tour, special guest vocalist Axl Rose of Guns N' Roses steps in to lend his trademark range to AC/DC's earth-shaking sound, bringing a new edge to their larger-than-life performances.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Brothers Angus and Malcolm Young got the name AC/DC from the back of their sister Margret's sewing machine ñ the same one she used to sew the campy Catholic schoolboy uniform Angus used to wear on stage. The fledgling hard rockers started making a name for themselves in small Australian clubs in 1973, but things truly started to take off when they hooked up with wild-man singer Bon Scott the following year. Sadly, tragedy struck a few years later following the international success of 1979's Highway to Hell when Scott died after a night of heavy drinking. Encouraged by the support of the late singer's parents, the group doggedly carried on with new frontman Brian Johnson to complete work on their next album, Back in Black. Since its 1980 release, that album has sold an estimated 50 million copies worldwide on the back of quintessential rock staples like "You Shook Me All Night Long," "Hell's Bells," and the title track. The band maintained a steady recording and touring schedule for the next three decades before health issues began to take their toll. First Malcolm Young was forced to retire in 2014 with Parkinson's disease, then hearing loss sidelined Brian Johnson midway through their 2016 Rock or Bust Tour. AC/DC announced that Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose would finish the tour in Johnson's place, while the latter explored hearing aids that would allow him to rejoin the group in the future without further damaging his hearing (happily he noted that he'll still be able to record music). This never-say-die attitude over the past 40 plus years has further glorified AC/DC's legend for fans, who know they'll rock the stage no matter what.
Not much to say about AC/DC, they always put on a great show. Saw them a few years ago last time they were in Vancouver, always fun, always rocks. Lights, cannons, Angus... can't get much better than that.
It was cold and rainy but worth it. I am glade that I had the opportunity to see AC/Dc live.
Everyone knew What to expect coming into the concert, but there was more to it. The band played in the rain. the sound was good and the lighting was good. the thing that was't good was the venue wasn't set up for a large concert. the lines for everything were long, drinks, washrooms, and for t shirts.
AC/DC was totally amazing,they put on one heck of a show!
After all these years - the band is still "rocking" it - had a very good time.
excellent show in Edmonton even in the rain. they put on an awesome event , loved seeing them,
Excellent show !! Very busy..appreciate email info about the event and transportation ideas.
Finally,the Boys are back. Loved ,loved the concert. Thought that Vintage Trouble was very energetic and enjoyed them a lot. Hopefully,AC/DC will do some special shows in the future.
One of the best concerts I have ever been to!! I am amazed at the energy of Angus Young and Brian Johnson! These guys put on one hell of a show and well worth the ticket price!
Unbelievable show! The only concert I have been to that compares to this was when they played CanadInns Stadium in 2009. Had a blast with my father in law. We can only hope they will come back again!
I have never seen ACDC live before, so this was especially amazing for me. I can't even begin to describe how energetic and true they were. The rain didn't even put a damper on the show...epic!
The AC/DC concert was absolutely amazing. They put on quite a show. The venue was not that good. Sound was a bit tinny and our seats weren't the best. We sat in one of the main artery rows and people were constantly walking up and down the stairs. We had a couple of cups come down from up above which split beer on us and another person walked up behind our chairs and split a whole cup of beer on us. There were 55,000 people at this concert so I guess some of this was expected to happen. I recommend the concert but a smaller venue might have been a better experience.
One point is that AC/DC does not need an opening act to warm up the crowd. They were late starting and went on too long. Now, AC.DC was incredible as always. Played all their iconic hits and some new ones. Angus continues to amaze me with his stamina and unique style of ;playing guitar. And finally, I don't know how Brian's vocal chords stay together. Terrific performance all around.
THE BEST BEST Concert I have ever been too. And I have saw them before too ;) From the Old Fans to the New fans, everyone was so engaged. From the Light show to the Sound to the amazing Performance by Angus Young (and all really), I am so very fortunate I got to go. The end song with the Cannons and fireworks!! what a send off. We Salute them! Thank you for the Years of Great Rock!
AC/DC was AWESOME!! It rained most of their concert but we were undeterred. Was so cool to finally see them live. They put on such a good, entertaining performance.
Been to a few concerts in BC Place. It is possible to have good sound and Volume. This show was not that good. Speakers on the floor, for the people in the back of the stadium were horrible. Cutting in and out , highs and lows. Think some one of the rank of AC Dc could afford a better sound crew and equipment for the price to see them.
I'll be brief. AC/DC have no business rocking as hard as they do at this late stage in their career and yet there they are showing acts half their age how it's done. It's done right! Have fun, give it your all and don't take the fans for granted. AC/DC have never done that and never will. Angus is relentless and Brian Johnson sounds amazing for a soon to be 68 year old. The band was tight as always and aside from one hiccup (hey that's live music and that's ok) the song's were flawless. Hope they come back next year but if not, show number 15 for me was another terrific memory. My wife and kids by my side, what better way can a man/husband/father/fan have. Thank you again AC/DC for another enjoyable evening.
it was terrible... despite the fact that it rained, the sound was terrible - could not hear him sign....it's a good thing that we knew the AC/DC songs
I've seen this band 4 times and they always put on an amazing show!
This was my first time going to a concert but it was awesome
