Topic: AC DC Glasgow gig

Well,
this maybe is the last time Brian Johnston plays/tours with ACDC. He said he was retiring this year but the rest say they will keep going as long as people want to hear them.

If this is the last year then I am really glad I went to Hampden Park last night to see them. Being in a stadium I thought there would not be much atmosphere being stuck in a seat ( although I never once sat down) fok were bouncing from the field to the top rows of the chairs.
This gig was better than when they played in 2001 on the stiff upper lip tour.
They never played the song stiff upper lip which was a shame as it was on their set list in other places.
The support band " The Answer" from Northern Ireland were quite good, singer  has a power voice. But I dont know much else about them .
The next support band " the subways" which I know nothing about and dont even remember if they were any good at all as I was away standing in a queue for 20 minutes to get a token for a beer, then I waited 40 minutes for an over priced burger. then into the queue for the beer, another 45 minutes. at £3.75 a pint I only had 3 in there. I didnt want to keep running to the bog ( toilet) when ACDC were on, and I already had about 10 pints before going in. Yeah I am suprised I remember all of the gig.
Angus was on form as usual, playing his wee fingers on that gibson and making the crowd go wild. Along with him for getting the crowd going Brain Johnston was fantastic. I dont think anyone would have ever guessed he was 61 years old. And talking of ages, Malcom Young still looks the same as he did when he was 23. All the rest do look like they have/are aging but he just hasn't.
Angus done his strip but not to reveal his bare bum, he revealed a pair of boxers with ACDC on his bum. Its all fun when he does these strips on stage. Usually to the song " bad boy boogie" but this time it was to......... hmmmmmm yep I forgot lol
He done a very long excellent guitar solo during " let there be rock" where he walked down the raised platform into a cylinder and came up above on a lift to be in the centre of the field.

Thank you to Brian J for nearly 30 years of super songs and vocals. I just hope if there is a new singer he can live up to brian and Bonn's songs as well as sing them.

Re: AC DC Glasgow gig

Glad you enjoyed it, Ken. Also no surprise that the catering at Hampden let you down. It is abismal. The last time we were there it was so bad that my wife sent a letter of complaint stating that the catering kiosks totally ruined her experience of the day. Never thought any more about it til we got a letter back from the Stadium Manager apologising and enclosing a family pass for the Football Museum and vouchers for a complete stadium tour. Nice. Give it a go. wink

Is anything really made up of zeros and ones??

Re: AC DC Glasgow gig

Wow Ken AC/DC played here in Atlantic Canada in Moncton, New Brunswick on thursday august 6th. 70,000 fans came to see the show and were not disappointed and the band put on an awesome show. It's just amazing that these guys are getting better in there later years. What a week we had AC/DC and the Dutch Mason Blues Fest and now back to work.
