    What can I say but "Fuckin A" what a kick ass show once again from the "Thunder Down Under" We missed the first 3 tunes which kinda sucked but what made up for that was getting right up next to the stage Cliff Willams side. That was the first time me and my buddy Ron got to see the band so close.Since the first time was in 1983 and this was our 12th AC/DC show. They jusy keep getting better and better.The limo ride was kick ass to Thanks for the "Grain on the Brain" Mike. You know the set list, this was the first time I ever saw Angus throw his shirt in to the crowd. The band was pumped up sounded fuckin great. Wish teh night never ended it was cool hearing the cannons go off so close. Can't wait for the next tour. And remember "YOU CAN'T STOP ROCK N' ROLL"

    I felt like I was physically assaulted for two and a half hours and loved every minute of it! Why bother selling seats? No one sat down for a second. Can't wait until the next time!

    Another kick ass show by the greatest rock band on the planet! This was the second time I've seen them on this tour, and I could tell that they were even tighter than ever! The last year of touring has really whipped them into shape. As I noticed at the last show, they lack a bit of energy when they first take the stage, but gradually get more and more hyped up. Towards the beginning Angus may show his age a bit, but by the time Let There Be Rock rolls around you would think the crazy little fucker was in his twenties! The highlights were: The Jack, Let There Be rock (of course), Dirty Deeds Done Dirty Cheap, Stiff Upper Lip, Bad Boy Boogie, Safe in New York City, and For Thos About to Rock. Safe In New York City was EXTREMLY fast, and very energetic. It seemed like they really enjoyed playing that one. Anyone who hasn't seen AC/DC hasn't experienced a real rock and roll show(KISS doesn't even come close) I am now deafer for having seen them, but I wouldn't have it any other way. ROCK ON AC/DC!!!

    Awesome show! I hadn't seen them since the Blow Up Your Video Tour. The band rocks as hard as ever. We were a little concerned about Brian since he had recently had some throat problems but he sounded great. The rest of the band was awesome as usual. The stage show was cool but didn't take away from the band. The set list was pretty much the same one they have been playing: You Shook Me All Night Long; Stiff Upper Lip; Shot Down In Flames; Thunderstruck; Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be; Hard As A Rock; Shoot To Thrill; R & R Ain't Noise Pollution; Safe In NYC; Bad Boy Boogie; Hells Bells; Get It Hot; The Jack; Back In Black; Dirty Deeds; Highway To Hell; Whole Lotta Rosie; Let There Be Rock; TNT ; For Those About To Rock. The last 2 were the encore. They played for 2 hrs 10 min. Buckcherry opened the show and sounded great. They seemed really psyched to be opening for AC/DC and it showed. They played for about 35 min.

    This concert kicked my ass. I was astounded not only by the astounding quality of their live playing but also of their ability to make the crowd go 100% berserk. I was berserk. The noise was astounding. I was so excited, my balcony seats just wouldn't do. Me and a friend skulked around the place for a long time and got kicked out of several different places until we found a final resting place with a great view at which point Brian Johnson began to hang from the huge bell. Amazing. It was worth every penny of the $45 that I paid and would go again for twice the price.

    WHEW!! This was the third show i've witnessed on the SUL tour and drove 7 hours to see it, and it was the best show i've seen yet. Seems like every time I see em, it gets better and better. Hearing STIFF UPPER LIP and SAFE IN NYC played live is just too sweet and they played a great rarity called GET IT HOT, that was enough for me! Besides that it was all classic after classic of non stop hard hitting loud ROCK AND ROLL with Phil probably smoking a whole pack of cigarettes during the show. If Brian had throat problems a few nights before well it didn't show at all, he sounded great. Anyways you can't stop rock 'n' roll and even less AC/DC!!! It's the greatest rock 'n' roll show and I hope they continue until they die!!

    Sold out! Support for AC/DC for the second leg of their Stiff Upper Lip tour has gotten stronger by the minute. Plenty of sold-out shows in the Midwest and Canada. Philadelphia was no exception. AC/DC was great. Every time they play Philly, they obliterate the place. Brian's voice sounded fine. I read that his sore throat caused the band to spike a few shows earlier in the week. He and the rest of the band were in prime form. They were great the first time they played Philly on Aug. 20. They were better this time. The whole band puts so much effort into each song. God bless the Philly women who bared 'em during not only The Jack, but right during the first two songs and at the end in FTATR. Brian at one point even yelled, "I gotta see what you guys are looking at!" and he shambled his way down the catwalk to check out the screen. He was really into the show, and his voice was at its raspy best. Buckcherry (sp?) the opening act also was solid. Slash's Snakepit sucked during the first leg. Buckcherry rocked the audience and got them ready for the show. Through and through, top-notch AC/DC. The best I've seen. No real surprises with the set list. Get it Hot was there, and only SUL and SINYC from the new disc. There was a new Whole Lotta Rosie doll that inflated and waved to the crowd. During Angus' strip-tease, right at the end when he flashes the American flag boxers, the GIANT BRONZE ANGUS STATUE was turned around with a red-white-and-blue cloth pattern on its backside. And, during SINYC, two curtains with the city-street pattern on the front of the new album are raised and flank each side of the giant statue. VERY NICE TOUCHES, all of em. See em if you can, before the tour ends. Who knows if they'll be another. But at least I can say I've seen the best of the best. The whole crowd was into it, and the band returned in full. It's the night after as I write this, and my voice is still hurting from screaming by ass off.
