For those about to rock:

 

Hard to think that there exists a better  rock song to finish a show .. all the elements are there ... great song

and its a bit funny that its the opening song on the album ... but also logical ... as you welcome the ones that are about to rock ..

Stevies Band .... back then

on a slightly off-the-track-note... but just a bit fun ..

aparently Axl hangs around Stevies corner alot during the shows.... happy old people ..

Angus is really getting Axl to tick isn't he? He's like some kind of God or something.

Axl should hire Angus as his personal guru, he needs him a way more than he needs the creepy people he hangs out with 

its just because when someone you respect that much sets such a high standard...i quess you feel a bit stupid to not be as good as the rest of the boys  ..so therefore you ... push yourself... and with axl i quess its been about returning ... to what he is .... and it must feel absolutely .. grrrit

Just now, AxlsFavoriteRose said:

yes very good work ethic

Angus is a savvy guy he knows how to get the best out of his mates and Axl is definitely benefitting from it!

Another Manchester review -

http://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/news-features/14/reviews-news/98497/triumphant-return-to-manchester-for-ac-dc

Triumphant return to Manchester for AC/DC
Reporter: Paul Webster
Date online: 10 June 2016

 

ROCK fans invaded north Manchester last night (Thursday, 9th) to witness the much-heralded return of AC/DC to these pastures.

Much, if not all, of the talk pre-show was about whether fans young and old would 'accept' temporary front-man Axl Rose into the fold. It appears they did.

Paul Webster, from the Oldham Chronicle, was there to witness the 'party' goings-on - take a look at his reflections.

I suppose it should come as no surprise that the return of AC/DC to Manchester was met with some trepidation with the arrival of legendary warbler Axl Rose taking over the vocals from established Brian Johnson.

There really was no need.

A huge crowd saw a band that have been around for forty years put on a show of sheer class.

Professional is the word to sum it up, oh and exhilarating, spectacular and very very loud.

From the opening track 'Rock or Bust' all the way through the set Axl provided the perfect vocals to a set made up of mostly older AC/DC classics.

Make no mistake though this is Angus Young's band. At 61, the man shows no sign of slowing down and if there is a better showman and guitarist on the planet I am yet to see him.

The audience was about as cosmopolitan as I have seen at the Etihad and the two hours twenty minutes seemed more like a party than a gig.

Finishing off before the encore with 'Let there be Rock' culminates with Angus on a raised platform above the crowd with your customary pyrotechnics.

The encore brought all the old favourites to the fore with 'Highway to Hell' and Riff Raff being given a well deserved airing. Finally 'For those about to Rock' closed the set complete with cannons.

Not sure whether we will see them again but if we don't then there could not have been a finer send off.

Older certainly, bit less running up and down the stage probably. Boring never. If you were there you will remember it always.

seems about right ... right?

I thought Axl looked very cool with shades and wide brim hat on. 

 

I'm noticing too much positivity in this thread and frankly it feels sappy and un-MYGNR-ish. On that note: Anybody else didn't like Have A Drink On Me and Given The Dog A Bone? Not in terms of the performance, just that the songs are kinda crap and even worse live. If they really felt the need to do half an hour of Back in Black I wish they'd done Rock N Roll Aint Noise Pollution and Let Me Put My Love Into You (can you imagine Axl on this one???) instead. 

Let Me Put My Love Into You

yes!! .. i agree.... one of there best .... absolute awsome solo from angus ... and..why not...shake a leg..

i thought he didnt run around and dance as much as usual...but if you see your pants split open on the side i quess its quite understandeble you wanna perhaps just take it a bit more easy ..

on another point...Hell aint a bad place to be ... is one of the best Bon era songs i think ... Axl does it magicaly good ...

wonder how Angus feels sometines ... must be like thrown back to te 70s energy ... well ... only two more to go .. sadens me

Here's my review of the show:

We started queuing at 1 so that we could get right to the front on the right of the walkway as I always thought that would be the best place to be for some reason, and yes, that's the place we ended up. But because we'd been waiting and waiting in ridiculous heat for over 7 hours by the time AC/DC started we were fucking exhausted and the crowd was rowdy, I mean violently rowdy at the front. I've been on the barriers to see Slipknot and the crowd wasn't as insane as this. It actually pissed me off a bit as we'd waited for hours to get to that position and as soon as Rock or Bust started a bunch of drunken cunts were elbowing there way past us but because you were stuck and literally couldn't move you couldn't really do anything about it. It ruined a big part of the show for us to be honest and my mates girlfriend had to get dragged out as her arm nearly got broken.

Anyway, aside from being surrounded by assholes the show was truly phenomenal. Seeing Axl so close is actually quite overwhelming. His stage presence is incredible, watching him belt out classic AC/DC songs is just amazing. I'm not gonna bother telling you how great he sounded and on what songs he did the best on as you can all hear that from the footage. I will say this though, except for T.N.T he seemed to slightly add some rasp on his vocals to songs he often sings clean and has dirtied them up a bit such as HAaBPtB, DDDDC, SC and HtH. His control was superior to the other shows since he's been standing again as far as I could tell as well.

But to experience this show live and close up is magic. Axl is one cool motherfucker and looks brilliant. He actually looks 1000x better in person than on photos etc. And he looked so happy throughout the show and seemed to enjoy watching Angus as much as we all did. Absolutely sensational frontman and to see him up close doing this well was worth all the waiting and pain and you just kind of forget everything else as you're mesmerized for two hours.

I really can't wait for the GN'R tour but if i have to go to Manchester I'm not going right to the barriers again haha, it's overrated

One more thing. Angus Young is an absolute machine, he makes you tired just watching him.

Highlights: Axl and Angus first coming on stage to Rock or Bust. High Voltage, Hells Bells, Angus's Let There Be Rock Solo (Yes I take it all back, in person it's glorious) and For Those About to Rock.

Also, for you people curious about the hat situation. Axl didn't wear anything on his head until around Dirty Deeds or possibly a tad earlier as he put his blue bandana on, which was awesome. He didn't put his hat on until Hells Bells and kept it on until the encore, for the encore he wore his white jacket and red bandana, he looked like Tokyo '92 during Paradise City it was the best thing EVER. Haha

 

im happy for you that you went and that you saw it and that you felt it and that ... you could not do anything else but surrender...

it is indeed  glorious in person ... Angus let there be rock solo .... and i know... it more or less looks silly on video taken from a phone...

but its...as you say ... a thing to experience before you can understand...

and i also felt it .... even just by watching videos...that it was by far the best show .... everybody felt so much relaxed and that they had accomplished something and now they were just this awesome band playing like no other band on the planet ..

great review ... thanx

Probably the best review of an Axl gig i can remember! Talk about praise! 

s easy to get diverted by the changes up front but the bottom line is there'd be no replacing Angus. He's the essential strand in the AC/DC DNA.

they stole my quote again 

were do i find that ?

he gets really low on his vocals on this one, pretty cool. 

he has the more lazy and correct timing spot on here .... the best version my millions of miles.... as it should be done...:)

in my own oppinion..

"Down Payment Blues"

this is kinda off topic but I want your opinion on this....Bon or Not? some of the comments say no way others say it  just sounds different cos it's a jam, some say this is proof Bon wrote a lot of songs and contributed a lot to the Back in Black album. what do you think my fellow Bon admirer?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lwfLNjBi4k

na..thats NOT bon ... not even close.... but ...sounds ok ...

i think ----- dont know... of course...

someone should get axl to ask Angus ... he should know
