Well, I believe it was a similar set as Oakland 1, with the addition on Shot down in flame.
Brian's voice was great, the rhythm section was great too (as usual...). Angus seemed to be struggling a bit at times (dirty deeds, thunderstruck), but was on fire otherwise, Let there be rock was amazing, I love this song and this album so much!
Crowd was so so, people leaving before the encore, wtf???
well they missed HTH...

Are you kidding me? AC/DC is bar none the absolute best rock & roll band ever. On an otherwise hot and sweaty California night, a hump day Wednesday, AC/DC rolled into town and blew the roof off the Shark Tank.
What an unbelievable show. The beauty of AC/DC is they are fun, good, hard rock & roll. The marketing and rumors and stereotypes portray them as devil worshipers and drug abusers and not so bright musicians stuck in their ways. Go to just one AC/DC concert and I guarantee those stereotypes will be broken.
AC/DC earns their respect by playing a non-stop 2+ hour, high energy, hard hitting, sweat soaked rock & roll show that does not stop, ever. Even the time between the last song and the encore is minimal. Devil worship? HA HA HA, where? A show that you can't take your kids to? Says who? I saw more kids in the audience last night than I have ever seen before at a concert. And when the house lights came on, the kids were smiling and knew they witnessed something they never forget in their lifetime.
Angus plays hit guitar and runs around the entire 2+ hours. He does not run backstage for 5 minutes ever 3 songs like some other guitar players do for other rock bands. Nope. Angus is blue collar and earns his money and plays every note and every song like it's his last. He gives you your money's worth. Brian is right there with him step for step and shouting his graveled lungs out.
Malcolm, Cliff and Phil are absolutely awesome. They are the engine that drives the hard core rock rhythm of AC/DC. I can't say enough about how tight they are. They play each song effortlessly and seamlessly without a flaw. Non-stop for 2+ hours.
Other rock bands perform the same tired act of letting each band member perform a solo. During these solos all the other members walk off and rest. Not one member of the AC/DC band ever rest. They are there to make sure you are entertained and they rock your balls off.
The San Jose fans did a decent job of representing and showing their AC/DC knowledge. Thankfully there was a half decent "Angus" chant during the intro to Whole Lotta Rosie. But would it kill the Floor audience to show a bit more enthusiasm? I long for the days when a GA audience would fight for their lives to bum rush the stage and practically tear the barricade down, all in the name of AC/DC and their hard pounding rock & roll. I mean why dress in the schoolboy outfit and then sit on your hands the entire concert? Why would you sit down for even 1 song? Baffling?
Awesome show. Thank you AC/DC. You are by far leaps and bounds the best rock band ever!!

Awesome show again. This was my fifth time seeing them on this tour 2x in LA,1x in Phoenix,1x at Giants Statium. I will see them again Sunday night in San Diego at the San Diego Sports Arena, them again on Oct 1 in phoenix. All in all I am 42 years old and saw them total of 38 times included 2x with Bon. I am huge AC/DC fan I have two AC/DC tattoos. These guys get better with age Brian sounded great, Angus is god, he never has an off night. I wish they would play songs from Fly on the wall and Flick of the switch. Can't wait till Sunday night in San Diego to watch god at work. Thanks AC/DC for being the best band ever.

Wow , what a show……I have been to a few great shows in my short 52 year life and thought I had seen all the great shows. AC/DC I had never seen and thought their music was a bit to hard for me… was I ever wrong I took my three sons and wife and had an ass kicking time. I tell people that it was one of the best if not the best show I have been at. AC/DC rocked the place all night. Do you think I like it? Hell yeah..
