AC/DC Dallas 2009 Concert
You can chalk my first concert for the year 2009: I finally witnessed the Australian hard rock in their full glory -or whatever they’ve got in them at age 50.
AC/DC’s line up: Malcolm Young (rhythm guitar), Angus Young (lead guitar), Brian Johnson (vocals), Cliff Williams (bass guitar); Phil Rudd (drums) have been rocking the world practically since 1974 -amid a few lineup changes.
The Dallas show was part of their Black Ice album day view tour which kicked off its United States leg on October 28th 2008, and is part of a 42 show effort on their part. The album, Black Ice, though not my favorite did offer some good material for the concert. However, their older material: Shook You All Night Long, Thunderstruck, Back in Black & many others were the icing on the cake for me that night.
Always electrified, Angus, knew very well how to play and please the crowd. The American Airlines Center, which had the show sold out within days of the tickets going on sale, didn’t seem to be fully packed -at least not how I expected it to be. He was outfitted with the signature school boy attire that’s so unmistakeably AC/DC by now.
ACDC Live 2009 – TNT
In my opinion, their performance was flawless and left no good material unturned -which is so refreshing on a band that has so much of it at its disposal. Kuddos to AC/DC: KEEP ROCKIN’!
