By Sarah G, Derry:
What can I say utterly amazing from start to finish. These men put all these other mickey mouse bands around to shame. Unbelievable showmen that continued to rock the crowd throughout the night, every song leaving everyone of the 13,000 strong crowd begging for more, incredible. I just cannot praise them enough they just get better and better, I'm sure I can speak for everyone when saying we could have rocked all night,
PS: Anyone who has never seen AC/DC you don't know what your missing roll on punchestown!!!!
By GW, Cork:
Dublin Last Night was just amazing. 110%
By Joe Holt, Bray, Co, Wicklow, Ireland:
First time to see AC/DC. Never knew what I was missing, I know now, boy what a show, pure rock from the start to finish. A faultless show full of energy and life. Every song a classic. Rosie after all these years tapped out a perfect beat, bless her. There were many highlights but for me 'The Jack' stunning. This show was nothing short of brilliant, for those who didn't make it tonight and are heading to the outdoor show, you won't be disappointed.
By Katrina, Fermanagh:
Absolutely mind blowing . The Gods of rock
By frank galvin, Longford, Ireland:
As I expected...awesome yet again. The guys totally gave it their all and I could not have expected more. Angus and Brian never stopped all night and Brian sounded even better than I heard in Germany on the stiff upper lip tour. Age is kind to these guys but I guess they look after themselves well. This is my 3rd time to see them in Ireland and they just get better and better. The sound was just brilliant....crank up your AC/DC live CD and your there......LEGENDS OF ROCK.....
WE salute YOU
The support band, The Answer, were excellent also and a great choice for a DC support.
By Caroline K, Co. Tipperary, Ireland:
A brilliant night from start to finish! We had great seats and the crowd around us were totally up for it. The support band, The Answer, did an excellent set, and were received enthusiastically by the audience, but the atmosphere continued to build as everyone anticipated the main act, and I can't believe that anyone could possibly have been disappointed by what was delivered. To shamefully misquote a famous Dublin rocker, the late, great Phil Lynott...the boys were well and truly back in town! And not before time, I might add <grin>
Time and tide has done absolutely nothing to diminish the ability of these 5 guys to deliver their very best! My ears are still ringing the morning after, and my voice is hoarse from cheering and singing, and that is just the way it should be!
The whole evening was utterly enhanced for us by the fact that it was confirmed to me on Friday morning that we had been put on the Guest List and were given 2 complimentary tickets! Our eternal thanks to those connections who sorted out the ultimate birthday present for my husband!
Roll on Punchestown in June, when hopefully we get to do it all over again!
(PS - I know its a small point, but to all those folks and webmasters who have listed the upcoming European gig list....Punchestown is NOT in Dublin, its in Kildare!)
By froggie, Kilkenny:
Just can't believe how good they were. Had a lot of expectations before the show they just blew everyone apart. 20 of us went to the 02 everyone thought they were top class. I was talking to people after the show everyone couldn't believe how good they were. Roll on Punchestown. They are the real MONSTERS OF ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By giacomo baronio, cesena, Italy:
It was the concert I've been waitin for.
It was AC/DC at its best..if you closed your eyes it could have been the 18th April 1980...
PS:5 time blesse from Brian's hand.
Thanks.
By Donie, Cork, Ireland:
I've been a fan for over 22 years, 5th time seen the band. Queued for 9 hours & glad I did, got right up the front, got to shake Brian Johnson's hand & also got his bottle of lime-water, got some good photos also. Outstanding concert, going to see them in Punchestown on 28th of June but I hope it won't be the last time I see them. Greatest band in the world, nobody comes near them. Keep doing what ye do best lads. For Those About To Rock, I Salutes You!
By Brian McLoughlin, Mayobridge Co Down ni:
This was my ninth time watching acca dacca in Ireland and I can't wait til the twelvth in Punchestown in June.
OK, Brian doesn't leap as high onto the bell but that aside there was no sign of age being a factor in the lads performance in the o2.
Start to finish they blew me away, yes I'm a 40+ who has seen a lot of top acts including Angus and co but this was really something special. The boys made you feel you were watching a one off performance, not a show regurgitated every other night for months on end. There was no sign of fatigue (apart from myself).
Maybe it's age, but the floor of the O2 didn't seem to vibrate when the cannons fired the way the point depot did but by then my eyes ears and heart had had their fill of pure excillerating non stop rock.
A rock n roll dream
By John Kenny, Newtowncashel Co. Longford.:
Where does one start?!!As an ardent AC/DC fan since I was twelve (am now 42), and having seen them four times previously down through the years, I have to say with hand on heart, that this concert was the best, by a country mile! I arrived early and got positioned at the end of the protruding walkway, beside the platform that Angus was elevated on for his 'Let there be Rock' solo instrumental. The other fans were so chatty and respectful, no crushing or arrogant behaviour. It was like one big family there.
The added dimension of giant screens and other props added to the occasion, but as usual the songs and music were the heart and soul of the show.
What a performance from the lads! I honestly think that they were also gobsmaked, by the vociferous Irish welcome and subsequent 'singalongs'. A dream,come true, Ride On Angus!
By c casey, Clare, Ireland:
Great night had, the band were on fire as usual, swopped my seating tickets for standing and sorry I did would have had a better view seating, got a great laugh off of Rosie, they had a different one in Madison but the new one was very funny bouncing away on the train, can't wait for Punchstown but hope they change up the setlist, they have so many brilliant songs and I don't think they need to play 5 from the new album but that is only a small gripe. Hope they continue for many more years so that each time I see 'em the hairs will still be standing on the back of my neck, we salute you!!!
By Mac, Belfast, Northern Ireland:
waited 18 years lads and you didn't disappoint! Cracking from start to finish, fantastic sound, great setlist, what else can i say? All other bands are a bit naff, really. Bon, you are a legend, but what a replacement in Brian Johnston! The man's 61, but sang like he was 31, I was truly amazed. Thanks lads, I've been into AC/DC since I was 10 years old, I'm 40 now, never seen a better show. Don't let it be the last!
By Alan F, Glasgow Scotland:
Traveled over for the week-end..and will never forget it!! I am 51 and AC/DC till I die. First seen the lads with the great Bon Scott in Glasgow 11th June 1976. I then knew I was in the presence of Greatness. Been waiting for the last 8 1/2 years for another accadacca fix, and after the graphics intro, I was blown away when the guys appeared out of the train crash. 19 magic songs, but the highlight for me was the solo, late on, from Angus. The finger work on the guitar was in a league of its own. He is still the Worlds best. First time in the O2 and I was impressed. What's even better, we've still to see them in Glasgow at Hampden park 30th June. Why don't you come along too. Cheers Alan.
By koc., ireland:
Brilliant gig, took the wife and we were headbanging away just like we did when we last seen the DC in 82, so much energy from the band and they sounded great, special affects were top class, 18 songs, real value for money.
By Frances Langan, Kuwait:
AC/DC blew Dublin away. The lads were on fire. I flew 4 months pregnant from Kuwait just to see them. Well worth every penny. Also went to Punchestown 28/07/09 still pregnant would do it all again in a heartbeat. My baby loves listening 2 DC. Rock On!!
