What needs to be said about the single greatest rock band in the history of music? AC/DC was the first "real" rock concert I ever saw. The energy in the building when the Rock N Roll Train intro video ended and the stage exploded with pyro's as it came out from behind the video board was insane. The fireworks ended and AC/DC went right into Rock N Roll Train as the opener. Hearing it live was an amazing sound. 16,000 strong at MSG and not one person was sitting down for the hour and a half that they played.
I'm probably the biggest AC/DC fan in the world. I have every live recording, every unreleased track, every dvd, every box set, all kinds of memorabilia, framed posters etc. Anyone who knows me will tell you know obsessed I am with the band, they're far and away my favorite band - ever. Seeing them in person for the first time on the Black Ice tour was beyond phenomenal. The giant inflatable Rosie, Hells Bell, Angus rolling around on the platform at the front of the stage, the elevator under the stage that was set on fire as Angus came up for Highway To Hell, the cannons on For Those About To Rock to close the show. All of it was absolutely amazing. I paid around $120 for my ticket, and AC/DC is the only band I would ever spend that much to see. If they ever come around again, I'll be there regardless of ticket prices. Don't ever pass up a chance to see them, after rocking for 45 years over 5 decades, who knows if you'll ever get another chance. Don't miss out on the greatest rock concert ever.
OH! I almost forgot to mention the opening act. The Answer was also a great live act. Openers generally suck, but The Answer was kind of a mix between a modern-day Led Zeppelin and The Black Crows. I've been listening to them ever since and they've become one of my favorite bands. Give them a listen, and if you have a chance to see them, do it.
