    Once again proves my point that they r the best Australian rock band ever. I took my dad last night for saw them in 1974 with Bon, we caught the train down from Newcastle.
    Got really cool seats, I counted 32 speaker on each side which made it very fuking loud. Living End started the night very popular band in Sydney, they were pretty good. "Your at a fuking ACDC concert not a library make some noise Sydney". Living End singer the chant for ANGUS went around the centre. The chill that went down my spine when angus and the boys came out was amazing!!!!!!
    They played the same set as the other Australian show, playing sin city and get it hot instead of the new songs off stiff upper lip. Lots of old songs which made my dad happy "You know when your back in Sydney" Brian "You guys r a rough Sydney I luv it" Brian plain and simple ppl, if u saw Angus do what he did I think ACDC will be around for a long time. Highlight was for sure Let There Be Rock, its the fastest I have ever heard them play that song and the extended solo was amazing.
    GREAT SHOW GUYS ! SEE U IN CANBERRA ON SATURDAY
    its now Wednesday morning, my ears r ringing like shit and I have a sore thorat but fuk it was worth it!!!!
    p.s bring your money if u wanna by a shirt cost me 45$, and make sure u listen to the Back In Black album!!!!!!

    THE GREATEST ROCK SHOW ON EARTH!!!!
    This was my 5th time seeing the boys and they never disapoint. I was six rows from the front near the walkway which made Brian and Angus more accessible to the fans. HIGHLIGHTS buying my tickets on the 16th Oct, then counting down the days, "the whole show", driving home to Newcastle deaf. One thing that stands out in OZ fans where a rough bunch but seeing all ages" MEN, WOMEN and KIDS dressed as Angus" all chanting Angus for 10 minutes gets the hairs on your neck stand up just waiting for Oz most loved ban and true rock legends to come on stage. Just one more thing the rock n roll hall of fame is just the hall of shame until these boys get in!!!!!
    Anyway to Mal, Angus, Phil, Cliff and Brian YOU ROCK. FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK for us WE the fans SALUTE THEM. See ya next TOUR.

    Gee, where do i start, what an amazing show, 12,000 people in syd on their toes, you know when acdc comes to syd town its going to be one hell of a show. From the start with shook me as an opener to the cannons of for those about to rock. I have to say the boys were in top form, songs of the night for me were dirty deeds, hard as a rock and the song of the night shoot to thrill. I'll definitely catch the last show in syd, oh and if you miss this show well u obviously don't like rock n roll, cheers to angus and the boys.

    i've gotta say i haven't been a huge ac/dc fan for many years but after the Sydney performance i'm now a massive fan 4 life. It was totally awesome. The Sydneysiders were pumping as Australia's greatest ever rock band returned home 4 a powerhouse performance. Angus stole the show with his fantastic solos and crazy antics such as his strip show exposing Australia on his boxer shorts, this nearly brought down the house.
    The rest of the band gave an explosive performance especially Brian who gave a magical show on the mike to an audience who love the past work of Bon Scott. My favourite numbers of the night would have to be "Thunderstruck" 4 pure crowd excitement as well as "Highway to Hell" with it's flames and "TNT" which totally went off as it's an Aussie favourite. The props were great and well used such as Rosie, the cannons, giant Angus, hells bell and the ticket tape at the finale. Great show boys keep up the great work.

  • AC/DC fucken kick arse, no complaints at all. From the awesome intro of "You shook me all night long" to there 20 minute version of "let there be rock" and the finale of "for those about to rock".
    All that i have to do now is try to get a hold of some money to go to one of there other Sydney concerts. Rock on AC/DC.

    Boyhood fantasy. had never seen the boys live. Firstly it rocked. they made the joint jump and certainly put on a professional show whilst keeping in touch with their main fans desire to pump up and rock. the fans screaming for Angus was a shock at 859 pm. Was a little disappointed with brian not hitting the power button on some of my favourite songs. Seemed a little reluctant to power off the deep end in some songs. it seemed like he was holding back a little. Angus ripped it up in his usual style. great guitar as always and gave his all. Congrats all round with making this old man's one chance ever to see them worth while.

    The greatest show on earth and the greatest band where else can u see westie scum mixing with eastern suburb sun dried tomato eating wankas shouting for the same thing 50 year olds to 10 year olds all captured by the greatest ac/dc show i have ever seen the entire show was just awe inspiring to see those old guys just rock a special mention must be made to the living end who played a great set and they should go far ac/dc where awesome my personal highlights would have to be sin city and get it hot as well as my fav ac/dc song hells bells there were no disappointments stiff upper lip was great live and should be carried on to the next tour only disappointment is the absence of songs like soul stripper high voltage riff raff dog eat dog what do u do for money and guns for hire
    maybe the next tour might contain a little brian johnson content he has been the singer know for over twenty years
    but still this is with out a doubt the greatest band on the face of the earth

    What can I say? Just the words AC\DC invoke all that needs to be said about them. This concert was the longest, loudest, most kick-arse concert I have EVER seen, and shit I've seen a few.
    The Canberra concert was great 'cause it was just one huge fuckin mosh pit, they had it outdoors at EPIC and everyone went crazy. Shit two days later I'm just getting my voice back and my arms are still sore from the constant pumping in the air!!!
    They had a few bars there too which helped everyone get crazy, although nobody got out of hand at all. From the moment when the guys walked out onto the stage with everyone chanting Angus at the top of their lungs, to the final chords of "For those about to Rock", this was the greatest concert ever.
    One thing though, how the fuck does Angus do it? He must have lost a shit load of weight through sweat, cause everytime I saw him, especially during "Let there be rock" there was gallons of sweat coming off him. In fact it looked like someone had turned a hose on.
    If I never see them again, this will be something that will stick with me forever.
    AC\DC -- ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Once again a absolutely great show. I wanted to go to this show because this concert was outside and all g/a i was at the front in the left hand corner of the mospit.
    147 speakers i counted on the stage which made it very very fuking loud. Probably the highlight of this show was Bad Boy Boogie where angus does his strip show.
    Same setlist as sydney which was a tad disappointing but i cant complain.
    Lots of olds songs which made it good, im sure how many ppl were there but fuck i couldnt see any spaces at the park must have been 20000 ppl who all went home wanting more.
    GREAT SHOW AGAIN GUYS

    It Rocked!!!. I had the pleasure of being on the local production crew. It was a very emotional experience for me. The real specs on the concert were as follows:
    Front of house (audience speakers) were the Tour series Electro Voice X-Array speakers. They weigh 93kg and are a three way box. There were 32 a side, making 64 in total. The Amps to run these were also made by EV and were the P3000 model. AT 3000 watts each and 64 of them this made 192,000 watts. Those kik arse subs for the kick drum and bass guitar were of three different makes. EV's XCB, EV's MTL-2 double 18'' and the long throw EAW Subs. For the band to hear an aproximation of about 25000 watts would be a near guess. So in other words it fucking cranked. Cheers for the kick arse concert that I will never fogert!
