My favorite from FTATR(WSY) is Evil Walks.....and I don't think they ever performed it live.

No Jail Break or Live Wire.

I was thinkin they played it in Chicago and BluzDude caught it. Sorry about poppin a circuit breaker.

Exact same setlist the entire tour (according to setlist.fm) so far.....

I would love to hear Jailbreak, or Live Wire even, but it won't happen on this tour.

Live Wire seems to be one of those songs so closely associated with Bon that AC/DC doesn't want to revisit it.

I always thought the same about Ride On, but they DID play it once with Brian on the Stiff Upper Lip tour in 2001, which was a huge shock and surprise to AC/DC fans who thought that was the one Bon song that they'd never touch again.

Yes they did. Just one time. Glasgow 1982.

Mee two, and keefriff99 brought up a great point. Guess I'm going too far back but you get really caught up in something so good.

they actually played Live Wire at the first night at the NEC Birmingham in 1982 also. i've yet to hear any bootleg recording of it as yet though

if it was as bad as the Glasgow version it's no wonder they never bothered again

The reason they only did a small tour of North America this year is because they're doing all stadiums, and those are the only US cities they can sell out stadiums in. I'll bet that after South America, they'll do a Feb-April leg in the US of arena, and then next summer another run of stadiums in Europe. Then that'll probably be it... possibly forever!!!

So there's only 6 US cities they can sell out stadiums yet 7 Canadian cities they can sell out?

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.

If you look at the tour dates for their last tour, Black Ice, you'll see that they did stadiums all over Canada, and only a few stadium shows in the US. The US had mostly arena dates. Apparently they feel ACDC has the ability to fill stadiums in Canada, but not most US cities.

There's certainly a few other US cities where they could have played stadiums; Atlanta, Dallas, Philly, Miami etc, why they aren't playing more is a good question; it could be the promoter preferring to wait for next years arena tour and not tap out too many markets (ie a stadium show in Dallas this year could hamper their chances of selling out 3 x arena shows in TX in spring); this may be the only pass thru Canada tho.

I noticed this too that the entire center of the US is blank. There has to be a marketing strategy going on. Isn't Chicago the closest in the Midwest? Maybe they will come back next summer after South America.

They won't pass thru Canada again next year, market has already been saturated: 50k in Moncton, 48k in Quebec, 40k in Montreal, 30k in Ottawa, 40k in Toronto, 34k in Winnipeg, 55k in Edmonton this weekend and 50k in Vancouver next Tuesday which I'm looking forward to! It would be good to see them do an arena tour but at this point, I don't think they could handle doing multiple arena shows, especially for Brian. Has to be tough on his voice at his age.

My understanding is they are planning arenas in the US in the spring...

That's good news, although my fear is that they won't modify their setlist if they return to the States, which would reduce my incentive to see them again.

They have such a rich back catalog that they barely scratch the surface of.

THE AGE -- 21 September 2015



ROCKMAN

Let's hear Live Wire, Brian can do it...he's still got the pipes!

Went to the sold out Vancouver show last night, fantastic. People couldn't believe how much energy Angus still has. Sound wasn't the greatest inside and the roof was closed. Set list is the same as all the other shows.
Traffic was a nightmare around BC Place, especially with the Canucks playing their first preseason game last night next door at Rogers Arena. Skipped the opening band although I've read good reviews about them. Reviews from local newspapers were great.
This is the first time I've seen them that Angus hasn't taken his shirt off! I'll have to check youtube to see the other shows from this tour. Also, during the chorus of You Shook Me, they show women in the audience. I'm pretty sure one they showed was actress Jennifer Morrison, who films Once Upon A Time tv show in Vancouver. She was also one of the doctors on House.
Saw quite a few Washington license plates outside since they're only playing LA and San Fran and a friend said he talked with a lot of people from Alberta since they couldn't get tickets for the Edmonton show 3 days ago.
Lots of merchandise selling, especially the devil horns which light up. They were $20 each and they probably sold around 10k or so! They lit up the stadium!

Angus kept his shirt on during the entire Boston show as well. I did see a few video clips during the European tour where he'd stripped down to his shorts, but on most of the ones I saw, he'd kept it on.

Missed them in Vancouver last night- a major Jewish holiday.

I went in Edmonton Sunday night - 50,000+ and pouring rain for half the show. I was in row 10 and they absolutely killed it- amazing. I was so impressed by their professionalism. Angus did the 10 minute Let there be rock in the centre stage in the pouring rain.

they did not miss a beat......Angus or Brian (the other three stayed dry under the stage). We also got full pyro, fireworks etc. Highlights were sin city, high voltage, let there be rock etc.

For what its worth there is only one decent hotel in town and the band and fans were all staying there. Some guy at the bar claimed to be their "money man" and promised an arena tour in the US starting in April. Totally unconfirmed rumour.

in 2016 they will be back in Europe in may/june like this year and play stadiums again

Interesting Rockman, they also had beer a couple years ago.

From February 28, 2013 - ACDC BEER
Never did see this in the states - would liked to have tried some.
Would have even liked to have just an empty can!

A quick comparison of Glasgow vs. Los Angeles (as to which was better)......

Overall sound - Glasgow
Brians voice - Los Angeles
Stage presence - Dead Heat
Audience - Glasgow

Last night in L.A. - more thqn any other show I've ever seen, more people were wearing something AC/DC.

It is possible that Glasgow sounded better because I was dead center where in LA I was off to the side, but I doubt it.

Conclusion - Another great evening of Rock n Roll, but....gotta love the European crowds


...and by the way.....the music that played after the warm-up act over the PA was 100% Stones
