Fan reviews:

By Colin Hartridge, :
Last week was my 50th birthday, and being a long time AC/DC fan, I wanted to do something memorable for my b-day. I booked a room at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas and went to the AC/DC show at Thomas & Mack Center. All I gotta say is that I had a **FANTASTIC** 50th birthday celebration, one of the best vacations I've ever had! The concert sound was of course what you'd expect to hear in an arena, but the band worked with it in their favor, to churn out some good old fashioned, loud & proud 70s Arena Rock. I wasn't disappointed in any way -- the lighting, special effects and musicianship were world class, and any reports of AC/DC being "tired old geezers just going through the motions" is crap, pure and simple. These guys were absolutely killer -- and Malcolm Young's guitar sound can STILL peel paint! :))) Yow! I'd seen AC/DC about 22 years ago in Vancouver when Bon Scott was the lead singer (they opened for Aerosmith), and Angus Young has no less energy today than he did back then. The guy's a powerhouse. Someone who was sitting beside me hit the nail on the head as far as Angus's guitar influence, though: listen closely to his solos and you can hear echoes of the ever-lovin' ALVIN LEE! I'm not kidding!
The only glitch occurred as a result of the fact that I had ordered my ticket online through tickets.com, and like a dummy I'd ordered the $35 seats instead of the $45 seats. Bad move! Well, when I got to the arena, my seat was the VERY last row up in the nosebleeds -- I couldn't have picked a shittier seat if I'd tried my damnedest!! I said to myself, "Self -- this well and truly SUCKS!", and I tracked down the venue's Guest Services counter to see if I could exchange my ticket for a better one. As luck would have it, they did have a few single seats still available: one right beside the stage and one at the back above the soundboard. One of the gals at the Guest Services even went to the trouble to take me down to the first choice seat, to see if I liked it! (She said, "No problem!") Fortunately I picked the seat by the soundboard for SOUND reasons (I only had to pay the difference of $10), and had the pleasure of seeing every single detail of all the lighting effects, Jumbotron, big cannons etc. as if it was a private show for yours truly. Many thanks go to the nice gals at Thomas & Mack for letting me upgrade my seat! It had to be the best seat in the house!
The show was a rocker, just the way I like it!

Damn I hate "For Those About To Rock..." The only sure thing about an AC/DC concert is when you hear the intro to this, the night is almost over. 8 times now I have seen the band since the FTATR Tour back in '82, the previous 7 in the UK, and every time they have closed with this song, and every time the crown are left hoping, praying, begging for more!!!
As others have noted, the guys are definitely getting better with age. The sound was much better that last time I saw them ('96 in Brian's home town of Newcastle-upon Tyne, not Edinburgh as one reviewer said) His voice was much stronger and the sound in general was clearer. The three "new" songs that they played (Stiff Upper Lip, Safe In New York City and Meltdown were, in my opinion, the weakest of the set. The opening Riffs of SINYC are great, but the song itself, as with the other two, didn't come over as well as some of the older stuff. The set list was in keeping with other gigs. I though that the arena was good - I had flown in from Portland, Oregon for the show - if the mountain won't come to Mohammed and all that!! and the show was fantastic. The lights, pyrotechnics etc were good. Highlight songs for me were "Shoot to Thrill", "Dirty Deeds", "Bad Boy Boogie". I would have liked to have seen "High Voltage" and half expected "Sin City" given the venue.
Still the weekend in Vegas was a bonus - I reckon that AC/DC were the only genuine thing in Vegas though - Slash and his band were just 30+ minutes of screaming and swearing (calling the crowd MotherF#@$%@#S ad nauseum) Brian on the other hand spent 2 hours coaxing and working with the crowd. I don't think I saw 1 girl with original tits (including the 2 or 3 who got them out for the crowd during "The Jack"). The whole town is just unreal!!
Still seeing AC/DC again was fantastic, for those of you reading this who have never seen them, or who are not sure about going to see them, read all of these reviews and believe it, THEY ARE THE BEST LIVE BAND IN THE WORLD PERIOD. Here's hoping that they tour again, soon!!!!!
