AC EFFING DC

One of the last great rawk acts, or last great rock dinosaurs, depending on your taste, rolled into town a weekend or so ago. There was only one thing to do, and that was to go along and see them live, and that is what I did.

I first became a convert to ACDC around the time of the Razor's Edge album, which led me to discover some of their other older and better music. Though I do still have a soft spot for the Razor's Edge. Anyway, something about them greatly appealed to me, and still does. Not just the music, or that they are decidedly unpopular with snobby muthafluffers, it's the attitude that goes with them.

For the record, ACDC are held together musically by the Young brothers and particularly Angus Young. This still proved to be the case last Saturday night where he played his @rse off and them some. There was a 20 minute extended solo from him and he was energetic all night. The rest of the band were still tight and they belted out the hits such as Thunderstruck, Dirty Deeds, Whole Lotta Rosie, and TNT amongst others. This was interspersed with some average stuff from Black Ice, some of which was passable. They finished with an encore of Highway to Hell and For Those About To Rock. I had been waiting to hear Highway and was absolutely stoked when they played the first few bars. It was one of the best concerts I've been too and if you didn't go you missed a treat.

THUMBS-UP!
