Angus Young is without a doubt one of the greatest live performing
guitarist ever! On a HOT Tuesday night in the "Shark Tank"
San Jose CA, AC DC pretty much brought the house down. As previous
reviews have stated they opened up with "you shook me all
night long" and of course closed with "For Those About......"
in typical AC DC fashion, old fashion cannons exploding so loud
the floor shook.
The show was sprinkled with a few new songs, "Safe in NYC.."
"Stiff upper lip". Typical fan favorites "Whole
lotta Rosie" "TNT" "Shot down in Flames"
"The Jack" "Bad Boy Boogie" "Let There
be Rock" "Dirty Deeds" "Highway to Hell"
"Ballbreaker" "Thunderstruck".....4 Tracks
from Back in Black...The title track, of course "You shook
me.." "Rock and Roll ain't Noise Pollution" "Hells
Bells".
Songs I would have liked to have heard, "Jailbreak"
"Who Made Who" "Live Wire" . Not so strange,
there were no songs from "Fly on the Wall" or "Flick
of the Switch". All the typical props were represented,
the Bell, Cannons, giant Angus Statue, lots of fire for "Highway...."
What was oddly missing was Angus coming out on stage on Brian
Johnson's shoulders, that is an AC DC trademark, I found that
very odd, maybe I missed it checking out some of the local "action"
parading in front of me all night long, but I am pretty sure
I would have caught that.
All in all, another high energy concert by AC DC, this band
never fails to deliver. I have seen them 5 times, and they always
put on a great show. This is one of those concerts you don't
want to end. If it had not been for my ears ringing so bad the
next morning I may have driven to Oakland to see them play the
very next day!!!
I do believe the Oakland show is the last night of the US tour,
this is a band you get to catch once every 5 years, if you have
never seen them, make a point to if they come around again.
These guys aren't young, but the energy level is amazing. Most
of the crowd (including myself) never sat down the entire night.

Saw the boys in Oakland, CA Wednesday night (9/20). Even at
post-40, they're still the loudest, rockinest band I've ever
seen! Angus is still a maniac, and the funniest stage personality
in showbiz. They covered a lot of familiar ground; Bad Boy Boogie,
The Jack, Whole Lotta Rosie, Let There Be Rock, and lots of
other favorites from the both the Bon Scott and Brian Johnson
eras. Always tight, and always louder than Spinal Tap! Starting
the show with You Shook Me All Night Long was a nice touch too.
These guys always give their fans a great time. Keep it up guys,
you're an inspiration to us all!

What can I say here that hasn't already been said........ Foolishly,
I waited too long to see AC/DC. But now I have. It was a no
bullshit, down-to-earth, honest performance. They left it all
on the stage......absolutely brilliant!! A couple of complaints.....the
Oakland Arena is a shit venue for a concert. The room needs
some serious acoustical improvement. As for Slash's Snakepit......a
load of sad, trashy Southern Californian bollocks!!
