Powerage5 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 AC/DC's last paycheck. Expect barebones face value tickets at $200+.AC/DC have always been about affordable tickets. I think they know they won't be able to ask for more money without Malcolm, whether or not it's their farewell tour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Shame, because Brian is better than ever, what a voice! Jesus. That might be Brian's best ever live vocal performance of You Shook Me All Night Long. Hard to believe that he's 67 this year. Axl should take some notes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Jay Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Such a legend. He still have his strong, and iconic voice. There's no weakness in his voice. I mean compared to ozzy, Tyler, Jagger or Axl ? Best ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Jagger is still amazing, but his vocals aren't demanding. TBH, I thought Brian sounded a bit weak on the Black Ice tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teroz Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Jagger is still amazing, but his vocals aren't demanding. TBH, I thought Brian sounded a bit weak on the Black Ice tour.Yeah but I was still surprised on how good he was. He was 63ish at the time and did a two year tour and as we know his style is really demanding. But the tour did wore his voice out a bit. I havent heard him in a while and was totally amazed on the Billy Joel performance, fantastic job! That was one of the best live vocal of You Shook Me All Night Long I have ever heard and in 2014! Go figure.Also true, Jagger still does a great job but he is a different kind of singer. All respect to Malcolm. Not so much the other guys if they do a cashgrab tour without him. And for you here that say that AC/DC are about to do a money grabbing tour/album without Malcolm. If you really feel that way, you do not know shit about AC/DC. If there is any band in the world that does something for their fans and a band that only will perform at a level that they feel is good enough to their stantards it is AC/DC. They do not need the money. They do not need the fame. Malcolm is ill, but what they do now is with his support and who knows maybe even by his request. Malcolm and Angus have been writing new stuff for the past few years and I want to hear these new Young/Young classics. And for the tour, really sad that Mal will not be there but like Brian said, if it will happen - it will be a short tour to say goodbye to the fans. And that is class and if AC/DC say it is goodbye, it will be. They are a band that deserve our respect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 AC/DC's last paycheck. Expect barebones face value tickets at $200+.They're already some of the world's richest entertainers, and their concerts have ALWAYS had awesome ticket prices in comparison to anyone else. They also put on a huge stage production. You have no idea what you're talking about.That performance with Billy Joel was incredible! Brian has held up incredibly well for his age. It's one advantage of spacing out their huge world tours the way they do, even if he starts to get a bit weak towards the end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw AC/DC on the Black Ice tour they had a huge production (crashing train stage, angus hat and horns, huge platform that went up from the end of the runway during Angus' solo) and they were still only 50 or 60 euro's (I think). While I've seen acts with a lot smaller stage production at the same venue for 80 to 100 euro's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Shame, because Brian is better than ever, what a voice! Jesus. That might be Brian's best ever live vocal performance of You Shook Me All Night Long. Hard to believe that he's 67 this year. Axl should take some notes. Finally listened to this. Gotta agree - it's easily the best I've heard him sing it since the very early 80's. Love that he went for the high notes in the last chorus, don't think I've ever heard him do that besides the studio version? Only downside...holy fuck did the band play that slow. Like, painfully slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, painfully slow.He does the high part on the River Plate show. I'm not sure offhand if he did it regularly on the Black Ice tour or not but it's definitely a rare thing for him to do. Overall I'd say that You Shook Me All Night Long has always been hit or miss live. For some reason it's just never worked as well with Brian's voice changes over the years as most of the other material, but here he absolutely nails it. Your right though - the only downside is the retirement speed it's being played at here and I'll add the awful guitar solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I'm not either. Even though AC/DC was the first band I got heavily into, I've never followed their live performances/bootlegs as religiously as I did with Guns for such a long time. I think that's mostly because AC/DC has so much great stuff readily available as far as official releases go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the earliest recording available with Bon, and it was an FM broadcast. It's only 5 tracks but it's pretty much all rarities, including Show Business (Only circulating live performance, since I think the version on Family Jewels was only live vocals?), and Bon doing the Dave Evans version of Can I Sit Next To You Girl. Very cool recording for diehard AC/DC fans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I heard them all once but I only really have TNT and Long Way To The Top from that early stuff. Apparently the first time I heard them they didn't make an impact on me . But what I meant was you don't forget seeing titles like Soul Stripper and She's Got Balls.Listening to it now and its pretty good. Classic AC/DC and I can't even imagine what the audience was thinking when they come out opening with She's Got Balls. IMO its just that they got so much better from here.
