AC/DC : 26/06/09

Postby Seregon-James on Sat Jun 27, 2009 3:14 pm

Quite possibly the best gig I have ever witnessed, ever.

I don't know if it was the stadium atmosphere, or being among the hardcore fans with all of us singing all the words but sweet jesus, what an incredible evening.

I have a new found love for the songs off Black Ice especially Rock N' Roll Train and War Machine! And even some of the older songs that you rarely listen to have been given a new lease of life.

Simply, awesome.

Totally pointless as well cos the quality and sound is always shite anyway. Generally, nobody gives a shit that you were at such and such a gig anyway other than your mates...who would be there with you anyway :D

Yeah, it was really annoying when i was trying to rock out and the guy in front of me had his hand stuck up in the air filming it on his bloody phone so I couldn't see. Ridiculous.

Anyway, yeah, this was amazing. I personally found the O2 Arena gig in April (which was my all time number 1 best gig ever) a bit better, as the crowd were much more fun (I was obivously just standing in the rubbish part of the crowd, where I always seem to end up at stadium gigs, even though I wasn't that far from the front) and the sound was much, much better. But still, it was bloody incredible. You can't beat jumping up and down with 50-odd thousand people singing Highway To Hell. There's nothing better. Apart from maybe Let There Be Rock and For Those About To Rock. Oh yeah, and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap was fucking amazing. Didn't you think Whole Lotta Rosie was really really slow though?

I was in the stands, and this was my view...

You must have been in a terrible part of a the crowd Jon, 'cause from what I could see the crowd was going bloody ape shit. At some points I was watching the crowd rather than DC. I'd never been to Wembly before so it were pretty mind blowing.

Easily the best gig ever, everything was just ridiculously amazing. From the 10 minute solos to the song animations, to the fireworks, to the bell. And it was nice shouting at your from afar, Jon. We must do it again sometime.

bai.

I was guilty of watching the crowd loads at my first gig. Watching Slayer, and people were going mental and the 12 year old me didnt understand why this was happening!


I reallllly want to go to Wembly stadium.

I still turn round to look at the crowd sometimes at stadium gigs, usually when the band are playing one of their rubbish new songs. It is amazing to drink in the atmosphere with your eyes, as most heavy metal gigs only number a few hundred people; it's the closest you can get to the glory days of the 80s I guess!

I could see a lot of the crowd jumping and things, but it just happened to be where I was that a lot of people were standing still. Really bloody annoying. That always seems to happen to me at stadium gigs!

I try to edge towards the middle as the set goes on; if you're on the look-out for openings in the crowd whenever there is a bit of movement you can usually make good progress.

Fucking amazing gig!

For the majority of the day and the first 2 songs i was in the second row basically on the barrier....however the CUNTS at the front took the piss with the surging and stuff. It basically ended up with hardly being able to see with the huge amount of people getting pulled out of the crowd as they were getting injured and then during back in black a shit load of people just getting knocked over, so i (very aggressively i must add) pushed my way back out from the front, maybe imagine a quarter way down that ramp and that's where i was...basically where a few people were jumping around, everyone was singing and no shoving!

THEN IT WAS FUCKING AMAZING! the whole gig was proper incredible lol

I didn't really notice the stadium atmosphere (didn't at iron maiden either) except on the song T.N.T that was bloody awesome, the shouts of "oi" could just be heard echoing around and around!

Love AC/DC they ruled, hope to god i can get to see them again someday!

EDIT: oh and whole lot of rosie was quite slow! But still awesome!

I just can't even believe how good they are. How can a band play about 4 chords for their entire career and literally be the best band in the world? It's amazing. I love Angus Young, I wish he was my grandpa.
