Waking up and blasting the crowd with yellow, white, and purple beams of light seemed to be the norm for the night while the group ripped through two hours and 20 songs of pure raw rock and roll energy. Every track was delivered like a rock anthem and that\u2019s the only way the band knows how to write and play their version of the heavy metal blues.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/perfectmusictoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/imgres-4.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-107\" src=\"http:\/\/perfectmusictoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/imgres-4.jpeg\" alt=\"imgres-4\" width=\"299\" height=\"168\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The current lineup comprises lead guitarist and chop stepper (don\u2019t call it duck walking like Chuck Berry) and only original member left Angus Young, replacement for retired Uncle Malcolm (due to dementia) nephew Stevie Young as rhythm guitarist, quick handed Chris Slade taking over the drum duties from troubled Phil Rudd, bass guitar thumperer Cliff Williams, and lead growler vocalist with the scratchy throat Brian Johnson. He took over singing duties when Bon Scott passed away due to a heavy night of drinking. So the band marched on and that\u2019s just what Bon would\u2019ve wanted.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/perfectmusictoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/imgres-11.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-114\" src=\"http:\/\/perfectmusictoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/imgres-11.jpeg\" alt=\"imgres-11\" width=\"259\" height=\"194\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Rumor is this Rock or Bust tour can be it for AC\/DC but it just didn\u2019t come across that way. The band released its tour named album last year so they feel that their just promoting it. What a great attitude these guys have and it showed that they definitely have the rock and roll personality of what legends are made of. In March of 2003 they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/perfectmusictoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/imgres-5.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-108\" src=\"http:\/\/perfectmusictoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/imgres-5.jpeg\" alt=\"imgres-5\" width=\"275\" height=\"183\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In fact, AC\/DC is the fifth best-selling band in US history according to the Recording Industry Association of America and the 10<sup>th<\/sup> best-selling artist in history surpassing the likes of Madonna and Mariah Carey. The RIAA certified the 1980 \u201cBack in Black\u201d album double diamond (20 million) in US sales and by 2007 it had sold 22 million copies making it the fifth-best selling album of all time in the US. It is currently the second-best selling album worldwide just behind Michael Jackson\u2019s Thriller.<\/p>\n<p>The performance was stellar as both Brian and Angus strutted and pranced around the massive stage reaching out to the sold out crowd everywhere igniting a frenzy. Opening with the title track from 2014, Rock or Bust laid the foundation for what was yet to come. They performed under a big oval with their signature devil horns painted above on top. Actually, the band has been selling headbands for years\u00a0\u00a0 with flickering red devil horns attached and they are a staple for many rabid fans to wear at their concerts.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/perfectmusictoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/imgres-6.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-109\" src=\"http:\/\/perfectmusictoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/imgres-6.jpeg\" alt=\"imgres-6\" width=\"288\" height=\"175\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>By the time the fourth song came the band was warmed up and the sound better. The title track to their record breaking album \u201cBack in Black\u201d from 1980 crunched crisply through the gargantuan Marshall amps placed on both sides of Chris Slade\u2019s drum kit. The album also garnered the hugely successful track \u201cHells Bells\u201d in which Johnson used to jump on the lowered huge swaying AC\/DC bell which is always hanging directly over them. \u201cYou Shook Me All Night long\u201d and the aptly titled \u201cHave a Drink on Me\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 provided more heavy boogieing!<\/p>\n<p>Then busting out another title track \u201cDirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap\u201d from 1976 showcased their classic raw and powerful sound. Johnson would incite the fans chanting \u201cDirty Deeds!\u201d and the fans gave back, \u201cDone Dirt Cheap!\u201d It\u2019s only proper rock and roll etiquette at an AC\/DC concert.<\/p>\n<p>Live music is usually beefed up songs from the record. Not with this band, whose live sound is just like their studio versions, right down to singer Brian Johnson\u2019s tossed-off howls and grunts. Then the cool nighttime sky cackled with lightning and then \u201cThunderstruck\u201d the lead single from \u201cThe Razor\u2019s Edge\u201d album from 1990. The sound is superb \u2013 sharp, exact and free from any flaws.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/perfectmusictoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/imgres-7.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-110\" src=\"http:\/\/perfectmusictoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/imgres-7.jpeg\" alt=\"imgres-7\" width=\"290\" height=\"174\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then another title track, from the debut 1975 album \u201cHigh Voltage\u201d rocketed and soared throughout the stadium igniting the fans once again! The song found Brian struttin\u2019 around the vast stage taunting the fans to sing with him! \u201cIt\u2019s gonna be High!,\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s gonna be High! Voltage rock and roll!\u201d So he sings \u201cHigh\u201d we sing \u201cVoltage rock and roll!\u201d He finishes with \u201cit\u2019s all rock and roll!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The last song of the main set was another classic \u201cLet there be Rock\u201d from the album of the same name recorded in 1977. The 18 minute version of this has one of the best Angus Young solos of all time. He is the master guitar shredder even with his small hands fingering the guitar neck leads and the on-the-ground kicking and spinning act.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/perfectmusictoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/imgres-8.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-111\" src=\"http:\/\/perfectmusictoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/imgres-8-300x96.jpeg\" alt=\"imgres-8\" width=\"300\" height=\"96\" srcset=\"https:\/\/perfectmusictoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/imgres-8-300x96.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/perfectmusictoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/imgres-8.jpeg 340w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The two predetermined encore songs were none other than more title tracks to \u201cHighway to Hell\u201d from 1979 and \u201cFor Those about to Rock\u201d from 1981. The Highway to Hell album solidified and polished their classic sound for good. For those about to Rock brought out the cannons ready for firing and the fireworks ending the night left the fans satisfied but was it their final salute?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/perfectmusictoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/imgres-9.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-112\" src=\"http:\/\/perfectmusictoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/imgres-9.jpeg\" alt=\"imgres-9\" width=\"277\" height=\"182\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In their 40 year career AC\/DC have never tested their fans with any other type of music or concept album, they have stuck with what works and what they know how to do best. The band has always filled their sets with their unique crowd pleasers combining the familiar and the predictable and because of this strategy have become one of the most reliable rock bands in the world.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"yiv1452765847\">\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/perfectmealtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/tn-10.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-86\" src=\"http:\/\/perfectmealtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/tn-10.jpg\" alt=\"tn-10\" width=\"88\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Michael Hepworth<\/p>\n<p>287 S.Robertson Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 90211<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/spiritsman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/search.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3012\" src=\"http:\/\/spiritsman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/search.jpeg\" alt=\"search\" width=\"105\" height=\"85\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-timeline\" data-width=\"800\" data-height=\"1000\" data-dnt=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MrSpiritsman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">Tweets by MrSpiritsman<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.perfectmusictoday.com\/\">www.perfectmusictoday.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:perfectmusictoday@gmail.com\">perfectmusictoday@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/spiritsman\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/passets-ec.pinterest.com\/images\/about\/buttons\/follow-me-on-pinterest-button.png\" alt=\"Follow Me on Pinterest\" width=\"169\" height=\"28\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spiritsman.com\/\">www.spiritsman.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:mrspiritsman@gmail.com\">mrspiritsman@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.perfectskintoday.com\/\">www.perfectskintoday.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:perfectskintoday@gmail.com\">perfectskintoday@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.perfecttraveltoday.com\/\">www.perfecttraveltoday.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:perfecttraveltoday@gmail.com\">perfecttraveltoday@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.perfectmealtoday.com\/\">www.perfectmealtoday.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:perfectmealtoday@gmail.com\">perfectmealtoday@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.perfectgolftoday.com\/\">www.perfectgolftoday.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:perfectgolftoday@gmail.com\">perfectgolftoday@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.perfectmusictoday.com\/\">www.perfectmusictoday.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:perfectmusictoday@gmail.com\">perfectmusictoday@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.champagnewinemaison.com\/\">www.champagnewinemaison.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:champagnewinemaison@gmail.com\">champagnewinemaison@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/alquimie.com.au\/publication\/\">http:\/\/alquimie.com.au\/publicatio<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/spiritsman.blogspot.com\/\">spiritsman.blogspot.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
