... not onstage though. They played "Problem Child" at that show!
Yup, didn't mean to imply that! Just there to support Axl.
As for them continuing, I could see it going either way. I went last week to MSG and it was definitely a show. Not better than when I saw them 8 years ago, but different. It didn't quite feel like AC/DC, it felt like a monster supergroup. Having said that, it was good and it was unique. For me as a hardcore AC/DC fan, it was made for me by the old songs. Hearing Angus do stuff like If You Want Blood, Live Wire, Riff Raff and several others which I never thought I'd see him do was amazing. Almost half the set was new from the last time I saw them and that is insanely rare seeing AC/DC. And Axl killed it.
Obviously the audience doesn't really care about that. They just wanna see Angus. And I gotta hand it to him, Angus still delivers. That man ran around like a freak for 2 and a half hours straight, never once leaving the stage or slowing down. Its incredible to see this far down the line and while I knew he could still do it, it didn't really hit me till I was at the shows. He could easily still do this and call it AC/DC. At one point I even said "its wrong to MAKE him stop at this age if he's still this good." He should keep going. I personally still don't think it should be under the AC/DC name (cause they were a BAND), but for many he still puts on the AC/DC show. And if they kept Axl there, I could still see them having a life. But Angus really does still have it. It'll be interesting to see where they go from here. I bet they continue, I just can't tell whether it'll be with Axl or not. With Cliff being gone though, I think this is my farewell. I miss Brian and Malcolm, and without Cliff or Phil also there this is just Angus. Cool to see Chris Slade though!

Angus could do his own thing and just play AC/DC songs. He could call it Angus or just Horns. Or Angus Horns.
The longer setlist and increased song variety proves that Brian was the one limiting AC/DC's live shows.Quote

As stated by others, the Philly show on Tuesday, the last this time out, was awesome. To be fair to Axl, no one really compares to Brian regarding voice texture. Unfortunately, Brian's voice, perhaps along with his hearing, has not been holding up well. For the last two tours at least the shows were barely two hours in duration and usually 20 songs at most. Angus still rocked his solos for just as long, but Brian, or Angus, for whatever reason chose to ignore some of the great songs from Bon Scott.
The other night we got many from that era, to me, outside of Back in Black, the best music AC/DC has ever released. Hearing Live Wire for the first time for me was the greatest thrill along with If You Want Blood and Problem Child just absolutely rocked.
A great show. Brian was missed, particularly on Thunderstruck, Hells Bells, and Shoot to Thrill. Axl was really good though, actually better than when I saw him with G n R over the summer.
If Axl stays and records with Angus, it will still be a great show worth seeing even without Malcolm, Brian, Cliff, and Phil. At least Angus can still perform and rock your socks off.
