    By Paul Passano, Smithfield RI:
    Amazing to see them in the big arena. It was unbelievably LOUD!!!!! Worth every penny and more. I've seen them twice on this tour - Boston in 2008 and now Foxboro, MA. ALL I CAN SAY IS GO AND SEE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

    By Albert Hinkley, Howland, ME:
    The Foxboro concert was the best concert I have been to in many years. Excellent show, great music, tremendous entertainment. Looking around everyone had a smile and movin' and groovin' to the music.

    By Chris Hughes, Auburn, ME:
    Went to the show in Foxboro Mass last Tuesday.

    First time I have ever seen them, and they did not fail my expectation!

    These guys killed it up on stage. The performance was unreal! The stage setting was amazing too!
    Their show is for any age! I went with my in laws who are in their 50's and they said it was the best show they had ever seen!

    If you can get to see these guys live, do it!

    By Eric Franklin, Gilsum, NH:
    I LOVE THESE GUYS, THEY KNOW HOW TO ROCK, I RECOMMEND EVERYONE TO GO SEE THE SHOW, I WISHED THE FLOOR CROWD WAS A LITTLE MORE INTO IT!!! BUT IT WAS ALL GOOD, ANGUS ROCKED THE STAGE!! HE IS THE ALL TIME BEST!!! THANKS GUYS!!
    WE SALUTE YOU!!! WE SALUTE YOU!!!

    By Brian Carney, East Greenwich, RI:
    This was my first time seeing AC/DC, as during the "Stiff Upper Lip" tour I was away when they came to Boston, and I was stuck at work in November on the first leg of the tour, but it was well worth the wait. From the opening train video to the last cannon shot it was just incredible! Angus was in top form, Brian was singing at the top of his lungs running, jumping, and dancing all over the stage always with a big smile on his face. My ears are still ringing 48 hours later, it was so loud! The floor over the field was shaking each time Phil pounded the drums, it was amazing.

    The Answer (opening band) was actually pretty good, the other band Anvil was OK I suppose, it's not really my type of music.
    I hope they'll come around again on another tour, I'll definitely be there. Thanks AC/DC for being the greatest band ever!

    By johnny law, Manchester, NH:
    The best concert I have ever seen!!!!! They sounded just like their CD's. Pound for pound, the greatest rock band ever!!! Oh yeah, Chris Rock and David Spade were there having a great time !!! Big Rosie (huge balloon) came out and humped the run away train on stage, it was awesome!!!! You CANNOT miss this show!!!!!!

    By Jim, Foxborough, MA:
    The show at Gillette was unbelievable. It was loud, it was endless hits, it was just unreal. Opening "Runaway Train" was explosive and never stopped. I was exhausted after the show. Angus never ever stops. A ten minute solo in "Let there be Rock" was near the end of the show and he was still playing full speed. You must see them.

    By Steve Jamokski, Plainfield, CT:
    The 15th AC/DC show of my life, it just keeps getting better and better like fine wine. Non stop explosive raw rock n roll, from The first single off of Black Ice Rock N Roll Train till the last song of the night For Those About to Rock. It left us wanting more. I was lucking enough to bring my 17 and 12 year old boys with me this time, they saw the Stones and Aerosmith but they said this show blows them away. You could feel the vibe in the parking lot with all the tailgating going on it was going to be a great night, and my buddy Nate and I where just a the right level I felt like I was back in high school. You are never to old to Rock 'N Roll.The set list did not change much from the Boston show back in November at the TD Bank. Just wish I could write the set list just once not that I'm bitching well just a little. I did not leave disapointed at all still one of my favorite bands from high school that just KICKS ASS. Keep On Rockin!! SEE YOU ALL ON THE 19TH AT GREAT WOOD FOR CRUE FEAT 2

    By Tim, New Hampshire:
    Angus may be 55, but he can still rock. I was half expecting him to pass out on stage. This was my first concert, and it was everything I thought it would be. I'm definitely going if they come back. Rock on AC/DC!

    By Andrew Rice, :
    IT WAS THE BEST SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!! I LOVED IT!! AC/DC RULES!! THEY KICKED ASS!!!
    The only problem was that the bell's toll was late and didn't start until they started playing.
    When they started to play shot down in flames and dog eat dog I was electrifyed!!

    By SEAN P FADDEN, NORTH FRANKLIN CT USA :
    Figuring this would be my last AC/DC gig & my first in a big stadium I bought tickets for the entire family & rented a limo to drive to the gig, I was worried that because of slow ticket sales it would be a half empty gig but by the time AC/DC hit the stage there was over 45,000 people in attendance!!!! Great sound, great performance and I even shed a tear when Angus was on the platform during LTBR as it was like watching God for the last time !!!!!!

    By Sandra, Bristol, CT:
    My son is a huge fan, really connects with you guys. On January 27, 2009 he had a stroke at age 29. When he was in ICU, he was plugged in and rocking with AC/DC. His feet were moving, we were thrilled. I had seen you were coming to Gillette Stadium, and I asked him if he wanted to go...he thought I was kidding. It was the day of the show I found out, I thought for sure it would be sold out! We made our way there and had the Best experience EVER! The show was amazing, the energy, the music...thank you all for making that part of the tour. Thank you, thank you thank you!

    By Jake Vitale, Coram, New York, United States:
    This show was absolutely amazing. This was the second time I saw AC/DC and it was without a doubt the best concert I ever went to. I was only 9 years old at the time and I was already blown away from the first time I saw them the previous year at Madison Square Garden and I had a little idea of what to expect this time but they kicked ass even more at this show. The setlist was pretty good. They did all of the classic hits as well as a couple of songs from the new album. The energy was fantastic and the were UNBELIEVABLY LOUD. This was one of the total three times that I saw them with Malcolm Young and I will forever be grateful that I got to see the true AC/DC lineup three times. It was well worth the trip from Long Island to Massachusetts.
