Adelaide, SA 24 Jan. 2001

You have never seen disappointment as there was on Tuesday Jan
23 when word got around Adelaide that ac/dc's drummer was sick
and that the concert was off hopefully to be rescheduled for
the 24th.Stunned fans were wandering around Rundle Mall and
the Entertainment centre in disbelief. Our group had come from
Melbourne, Darwin, California and Switzerland. Accommodations
and travel plans were turned upside down. Phil Rudd had a kidney
complaint and should be ok the next day. Most fans hung around
till the next day and the band made it including Phil. Was it
worth waiting for? You bloody betcha it was. There ain't a better
band anywhere that generate excitement from the first chord
to the last. A 2 hour gig seems like 15 minutes, and I reckon
Angus lost half his body weight in sweat. Angus you are a true
legend ...take it easy mate. I say they are better than ever.
fan comments .......awesome best concert i have been to

well first of all i would like to say that the concert absolutley
fuken rocked!!!!!!!!! it was the first time id ever been to
the entertainment center and the first time id seen ac/dc live.
i've watched the videos and listenened to the CDs but nothing
could ever prepare me for the real thing! from the moment the
living end left the stage every person in the building stood
up and chanted angus and AC/Dc for 10 minutes while the security
and band set up the gear and when they came on it was so amazing
with the lighting affects the sound was incredible rite from
"she was a fast machine she kept the motor clean"
rite through to the final "we salute u" the background
of the city with the 11m tall statue of angus looked fucking
amazing and when that thing started to blow smoke it looked
like angus had just sunk 5 bongs in 1 toke. the flames in highway
to hell were fukin brilliant as was the solo in let there be
rock by angus. the jack and rock and roll ain't noise pollution
were crowed favourites as everyone was singin. rock and roll
aint noise pollution has always been 1 off my top favourites
and i was very pleased when they played it, so until next time
rock and roll wont never fukin die and i salute u all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The concert in Adelaide was postponed till the 24th due 2 something
wrong with the drummers liver or something, but i can wait forever
2 c ac/dc, it was fucking spectacular! I got a bandana and the
book because they were the only things really worth buying,
because it was just all so fucking dear! I paid $2.60 4 a small
solo, fuck sake man! Anyways as soon as I was in I was hyped
being my 1st time in the centre and all, I think I was the 1st
real headbanger. I didn't mind the opening band living end at
all, they played wickedly, I guess all aussie bands do hey!
Anyways as soon as they went off the crowd were screaming Angus,
Angus, Angus myself including, and as soon as they were on every1
stood up 4 the whole 2 hours and head banged like crazy fuckers!
I loved the show man, heaps powerful and excellent sound and
a great on stage performance by the guys! Hard as a Rock had
some funny porn cartoons and animal porn and highway 2 hell
had the stage just bursting in hot huge arse flames, it rocked!
Dirty deeds done cheap, back in black, let there be rock &
for those about 2 rock were personal faves, i went ape shit
during those songs!
Anyways, what can I say, I head banged, air guitared, air drummed,
jumped, waved the hands, did it all, the atmosphere was that
great that u just had 2 go apeshit! I was a little pissed with
the audience at 1st, me being 1 of the only head bangers and
all but they finally gave in, i loved the tickertape, that was
pretty sweet. My ears r still ringing, my neck hurts, i have
muscle pains, but do not give a FLYING FUCK!! I had ear plugs,
but no way i was gonna wear them, the statue was pretty fucking
awesome turning in2 the devil and shit, and hmm what else, i
don't really know, i had that much fun and all the songs sounded
that sweet that time went so fast man! Angus, malcom, brian,
phil and cliff, great fucking show dudes, hope 2 c u again soon,
good luck with your next album! I salute u, rock on! Ahh what
a show, What a Show!!!!

Hobart, TAS 27 Jan. 2001

It was 25 years nearly to the day, albeit 2 weeks, when AC/DC
hit the stage in Hobart, Tasmania. Last time the band played
a few hundred people turned up, this time 18,000+ witnessed
the might of Acca Dacca live and most of Hobart heard them,
with reports of the music being heard 20 kilometres away from
the outdoor venue.
Just prior to the band hitting the stage there was a shower
of rain but the heavens were cleared by the opening bars of
Angus belting into the classic "You Shook Me All Night
Long". The crowd went crazy, Tasmania does not attract
huge gigs like this and a lot of the concert goers had never
been to a big gig. And what a concert it was. The set list was
as previously mentioned by an earlier review of the Perth show.
Brian & the boys seemed to be in their element with the
Tasmanian 'devils'!!! Special mention was made to Hobart by
Brian prior to the band ripping into "Rosie" as it
was the city where the band met Rosie who inspired the song
on their last gig here. My favourite of the show was "Let
There Be Rock" it hammered. All in all a brilliant gig.
AC/DC thank you for playing Hobart, please come back next tour.
