By Jamie Duncanson, Glasgow:
Gig was incredible (as always), all the band were on top form with Angus & Brian displaying why they are the two top showmen in the Rock world. Still the greatest band on the planet (by a country mile).
Roll on Hampden.
By Alan Sheppard, East Kilbride, Glasgow, Scotland:
Well what can I say about this band, awesome, amazing, incredible it doesn’t quite cover it, me and my brother traveled from Glasgow to see them and they certainly didn’t disappoint, stage show was excellent, Brian was amazing form and for a man his age Angus certainly didn’t disappoint. This was the 3rd time I had seen the band and for my brother his 5th, they are still the best and it scares me to think what live concerts will be like after the school uniform has retired. Now the countdown is on till Hampden, only issue would be that hopefully the setlist changes a bit for the stadium shows, how about some Powerage tracks or Flick of the switch… then again how about a 4 hour set haha, Ride on…
By Ian, Rutland UK:
This was around the 20th time I'd seen the band over the years and apart from my first time (as an AC/DC mad teenager), had the most expectation of all. No matter how many clips you have seen on "you-tube" I promise you nothing can prepare you for THAT into. It felt like I was actually riding the rock n roll train. I was there, my heart pumping in rhythm as it thundered down the track. Every hair standing on end as the frantic whistle signaled the train wreck that exploded onto the stage as Angus posed to the roar of the crowd with his signature hand in air before belting out the awesome opening riff. The crowd went bezerk and set the tone for the whole gig to the final bead of sweat dripped during FTATR.
My AC/DC highlight is still being at the SUL Stade de France gig and hearing Ride On live. Manchester didn't better that, but hey - how can you improve perfection? The gig was still up there with the greats. Cant pick out one bad moment - brilliantly paced, love the new songs, loads of the classics, mega lightshow, wicked stage set. If that was hell, then it's heavenly. AC/DC we salute you.
By Nick, Skipton North Yorkshire:
Been a fan for far too many years to mention, but last night was the first time I've seen the band live and they didn't disappoint, totally blew me away. Fantastic opening with Rock N Roll Train and it didn't let up until the end of For Those about to Rock. Angus and Johnno had the crowd eating out of their hands. Superb light show, brilliant entertainment. 10/10. Don't wait so long next time boys.
By malcolm (stan) summers, Caernarfon North Wales:
The anticipation of seeing the boys again was so great, and hey did they disappoint, no chance. 30 yrs ago I went to see them at Deeside Leisure Centre. So was looking forward to the gig in Manchester. They were absolutely awesome, every note perfect, Angus and Brian were so energetic, a nice mix of vintage and new tracks. I was so refreshed after the show.
A must for all AC/DC fan. Keep rocking chaps
By Jim, UK:
A fantastic return to Manchester, the crowd were up for it as much as the band tonight, the new stuff fitted into the set well, and the sound for such a big arena was excellent. Everyone was singing at the top of their voices tonight, what a buzz!! The band of course sounded excellent, can't believe it's been so long since the last tour. I think these guys could be going on well into their 70's at this rate!! Best night out for ages, cheers lads.
By E. Jones, Y Ffor, Gwynedd:
The best yet, I have seen them five times and they still sound just as good. The highlights were Angus's solo, You Shook Me All Night Long and Highway to Hell. Please don't let this year's tour be the last. How about a gig at the Millenium Stadium Cardiff.
By Jessica louise kershaw, england:
This was the first and the best concert I have ever been to, and I would definitely go again. The atmosphere was amazing and the band were superb. But what made my night was when we met Angus Young after the concert and I had my t-shirt signed by him and got a photo.
By Paul Jolly, England :
Had a great night at the concert last night. They are still just the same as they were when I have been years ago. Rockin that stage!! and what topped the night off was getting to see Angus Young himself in person and getting the tickets signed of him and a few photographs. cant wait to see the band at Wembley in June!!
By mike harrop, saddleworth:
There are no words to describe the performance, it was breathtaking, this was my thirty sixth AC/DC gig and I haven't seen a bad one since Manchester university in 76. The crowd were up for it and it was great to see the band enjoying themselves and not just going through the emotions.
Roll on London in June.
By stephen martens, Caernarfon ,North Wales:
I have seen AC/DC 7 times now and have to admit it this was the best show i have seen. I was at the monsters of rock 91 show which was an excellent show but this blew it away. Shoot to thrill was amazing, war machine what an excellent song. I am so pleased that Angus and co can still rock, see you at wembley.
By Tez, North East:
Fantastic show lads, seen them on every tour since 82 and they just seem to get better with age, like a fine wine. Can't believe how much energy Angus and Brian have considering there ages not to mention Mal, Cliff and Phil, set list was great but would have liked a couple from Powerage, hope this ain't their last tour, have at least 1 more in them, can't wait for Hampden, Bon would be proud, Ride on.
By Doogie Burton, Kilmarnock:
Wow!!! This is the fifth time I've seen them and any concerns over them still being able to cut it at their age were blown away by the first power chord opening of the "Rock n Roll Train"!! From that moment they had the crowd in the palm of their hands. And what a mixture of old rockers, kids and even women in a packed house at the MEN Arena.
Brian and Angus seemed to be really enjoying themselves - so good to see these guys still clearly enjoying what they do after all this time and getting a buzz from the hysterical crowd.
As Brian said the party started from the word go with singalong after singalong of old favourites "Dirty Deeds", "Shoot to Thrill", "Thunderstruck" being highlights as well as the new songs lapped up as if they were already old favourites in the set.
Only disappointment in the set was when the familiar opening notes of "For Those About To Rock" rang out and we knew it would soon be time to go home.........when they left the stage we all stood in the vain hope that they might just come out for one more song but to no avail...oh well...........maybe at Hampden!!!!!
Rock on guys - you are the best!!!!!
By T. Dixon, Warrington, England:
Superb show, I don't think there is another band on this planet that can entertain a crowd like AC/DC. I've followed them for over thirty years now and they still work as hard as they did when they started out. Took my two sons with me to see them for the first time and they were blew away, We were right at the front near the stage and the atmosphere was absolutely brilliant. I just hope we get to see them again in the future.
By Rob Mann, Barnsley, South Yorkshire:
Not seem them since back in black 1980 - just like it was then nearly 30 yrs ago - the energy and drive is awesome. A night me and my 15 yr old son will never forget - the best band in the world doing what they do best. Fantastic night thanks.
By Tim Brown, Stockport:
Absolutely awesome!!! This was the 5th time I've seen AC/DC, & as ever, they did not disappoint. They're still on top form, delivering the goods from start to finish. The boys rocked! Excellent! Keep on rocking...I salute you...
By Simon Baurley, Leeds:
My 8th gig on THIS tour so far and the first in the UK, and by far the best except for maybe Paris where they filmed Anything Goes. Roll on Madrid and New York in July...
By Stacey Thomas, Mansfield:
Three days later and my hearing and voice have just come back.
Brilliant set, starting with Rock and Roll train was inspired.
Best gig ever, the energy , the set list everything had Manchester Arena Rocking. my thoughts of just being there and enjoying the music (as I am a lot older than last time I saw them, went straight out of the window as soon as the lights went down)
Cannot praise them high enough, can not describe it good enough, you have to see this
For those about to Rock.....................
By Dave Lisle, Guisborough:
WOW, What an incredible show. Like many here, I've seen the boys quite a few times (the last time was here at the M.E.N.)and I've seen hundreds of gigs and festivals but this topped the lot.
From the moment the animation started until the lights came up at the end - no, for days afterwards, I was buzzing, and I don't just mean the white noise in my ears.
There's hardly words to describe the gig. Awesome springs to mind but that doesn't do it justice.
The energy, passion, experience and skill was there from first track to last. I loved every second but my highlights (after that incredible opening animation and song) had to be Shot Down In Flames and TNT. I screamed every 'Oy' with Angus.
Blown away guys, just blown away.
Come back soon!!!!!!!
