Just saw them at Wembley a few weeks ago, was a great show ... would recommend it :cool:

[jaymzw]

They've been talking about this concert on the rock the last few days.

$160 blanket price apparently, not too bad considering every man and his dog is going to want a ticket!

Old man rekens the concert he went to in Sydney 50 billion years ago was the best performance he's ever seen!

[Genestho]

I have a friend that went to Wembley too, he said same thing!
Highly recommended!!!:clap:

[nallac]

$160 a ticket.....?

As big of a fan of them as i am theres no way i'd pay that much..
already seen em twice ,won't be a third time for $160.

thats alot of gas money for the bike or for more bling...

If I was born sooner I'd prefered to have seen Bon Scott live.

But alas, I made it to two, 1990 and 96, and they were AWESOME!!!!

$160 is getting up there!!!!

[Headbanger]

I'd go if I'd never seen them before.

I thought the Razors edge show was pretty good, The Ballbreaker show was much the same with a few weaker songs and bad vocals. Neither would rank alongside the best concerts I have been to.


The concerts in support of Powarage would have been the shows to see, around 78.

[Whynot]

I have a friend that went to Wembley too, he said same thing!
Highly recommended!!!:clap:

there were a LOT of people there ....

[Genestho]

there were a LOT of people there ....
Oh I can imagine!!! I'd love to go to a Wembley Concert and loose myself in the crowds!!

Headbanger - I agree Razors edge was the best of new era AC/DC (that I've seen,I still have my money!! hehe.)
Mind you, Back in Black would've been good to see!
The '70s concerts with ole Bon would've been AWESOME! I prefer Bon :)

[BASS-TREBLE]

Defianetly going.
Getting the boys and girls together to make a little road trip out of it to finish of the summer before schgool kicks back in.

Whats the capacitiy of Western Springs?

[spacemonkey]

I went to their Mt smart concert (circa 1990??) it was good but I honestly enjoyed shihad as their opening act as much as ACDC.
$160? Nah not worth it.

I went to U2 and Rolling Stones at Western Springs, and I'm sure both were around the 50,000 mark

Shihad were awesome!! I still have that album! Killjoy?

[Indiana_Jones]

Not for $160

-Indy

[Genestho]

I think most big band concerts are expensive these days!

That Dark side of the moon David Gilmour show a couple of years ago was what? 300 and something?

EDIT: Sorry my bad, that was the Roger Waters version!!!

[Highlander]

That Dark side of the moon David Gilmour show a couple of years ago was what? 300 and something?

Now that, even I would consider paying.

[Kiwi Graham]

Yep I'll be there, this will be the third time and prob the last eh! lucky enough to see them with Bon Scott the first time, then the Back in Black tour with Brian Johnson, I think this may be the last time they tour so yes even for $160 I'll be there.

[Genestho]

That's what I was thinking too...could be the last time they tour.

I heard an interview the other day with Angus, saying the schoolboy persona wipes him out after each show, he wants to hide under a rock. (As you can imagine!!)

He must be 50ish now? You are a lucky bugger K.G!!

[James Deuce]

I'd rather see Airbourne. At least if you have to pay $1 per birthday for the lead singer it doesn't add up to $160.

You guys have heard Black Ice right?

It sucks. Two songs sound like ACDC. The rest sound like a really bad tribute band.

[Headbanger]

Black Ice is a great album....for a band in their twilight years.

Certainly far far far better then Ballbreaker, Blow up your video and Stiff upper lip.

Not for me this time..

Sorry AC/DC, nothing personal.

[alley cat]

Woohoo gotta go! does anybody know if its the same weekend as woodstock rally? I keep thinking $160 ouch, then i hear them on the radio and im so amped!!!! scream:headbang::headbang:

[Zimsar10]

Defianetly going.
Getting the boys and girls together to make a little road trip out of it to finish of the summer before schgool kicks back in.

Whats the capacitiy of Western Springs?

I've been to numerous concerts there - the biggest that I recall was for a Paul McCartney concert in the early '90's, which had 66,000 people.

[Zimsar10]

I'm curious - for the people that think it's too expensive to go & see one of the biggest Rock bands in the World.......can I ask - do you smoke cigarettes &/or drink alcohol?

Because if you do - you could just stop doing both for a week of two (that depends how much you smoke/drink) & there you have it - a concert ticket! :clap:

[Kiwi Graham]

Yeah Weston Springs holds 60+ thousand. I think The Rolling Stones had that many too.

Is the $160 just going to be general admission then? That will be one hell of a mosh pit!!!

[Zimsar10]

Yip - $159.90 is the cost for all tickets - however, I think the first few thousand people will get into a cordoned off area - for crowd control purposes, like they appear to be doing at the Wellington concert:

[Mully]

Hmm, a sea of black jumpers and mullets as far as the eye can see.....

Where is an Acca Dacca fan going to get $160 from?? They might have to sell one of their HQ Holdens to finance the ticket.

Just remember the lyrics - "nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah - Thunder!!!" Man, that's deep.

Right, that should do it.

(Spank, can we have a "stirring" or "winding up" smilie please? Thanks.)

[RC1]

who the hell is AccaDacca??

[Kiwi Graham]

Their on C4 right now..........1996 Ballbreaker concert Spain.

Bloody good music, we enjoying and VERY in keeping with our white trash and bogun life style (quote scummy)

[Genestho]

OH, thanks for the reminder!!!!!

[boman]

I will be there. Went to the razors edge tour. Missed out on Ballbreaker. Figure I am here for a good time not a long time. Going to be a long time dead.

YEP ne'er a truer word spoken my friend!!!

Reallly think I have to go this as well, again! Look at the crowd!!!

[Big Dave]

I don't think it's a wind up Mulley. We saw Back in Black at the Perth Entertainment Center and unless you were a die-hard fan it was very rough going.

[Genestho]

:Punk:Let there be rock!:Punk:

[Headbanger]

The band is rocking, Brians vocals are terrible.

I have this concert on VHS, I watched it once and put it away in disgust. Very similar effort to the performance they done on the NZ leg of the tour.

Funny enough he sounds far better on the stiff upper lip concerts.

[Big Dave]

1975 they used to play at the Civic Centre Dance. Bonn was scary.
Look at the pics now and he was a skinny little pigeon chest, but he seemed bad as back then.

Ohhh Bon was a wolf, no comparison!
Angus is the draw card now though.

[Kiwi Graham]

Ausie sold out in 4 hrs!!

I'm at work but the Mrs is tasked with sitting at the keyboard getting the tickets 9am Tuesday.

All tickets are general admission its going to be a squeeze, hope I get a spot on the steps.........the Mrs is only 5' tall haha

I agree totally. Thought he sounded flat as. Watched this once, and have now relagated to the never never file. I do enjoy getting out Family Jewels and watching regularly. Loud as well. :Punk:

Family Jewels is Awesome!!! Love the Bon Scott stuff!

[Headbanger]

Then you need to watch

Live in Paris-The motion picture.

Filmed in 1978 I believe.

Its still available on VHS through the UK, Though I got my copy via torrents.

Blew my tiny freakin mind when I was given a copy on VHS many years ago.

[normajeane]

Hey we enjoying the MUSIAC!!
Maybe the ARENA is the prob with sound. Sounds ok to us, headbanging and thigh slapping around our lounge to the screen and band!!

[Genestho]

Ooo I shall google and see what I can find! Thankyou!!

They cut the song in half, FFS, one of the bands finest moments and the bastards cut it.

I knooooooow! Oh and I haven't been counting the Black Ice logo's damn it!!! :lol:

[Big Dave]

Story of the Blues - Gary Moore. Arguably the best solo in pop music and they cut it every time.

The fade on Sultans of Swing is often lamentable too.

[Genestho]

Yusss, HIGH VOLTAGE!! good stuff!!!:wari:

[Virago]

Story of the Blues - Gary Moore. Arguably the best solo in pop music and they cut it every time.

Same with Still Got the Blues - bastards fade it out when the guitar solo kicks in.

Is C4 playing Family Jewels now?

Touch too much! The Wolf!:shit:

The 'Sharpies' used to come in from Fairfield and Cabramatta. Croats who 'vant to know you'. They wore cowboy boots with pointy toes and carried razor blades and bad mullets and all they wanted was to act tough and fight. Hangin on a corner near the dance.

Me and the other locals used to just go to the dance, walk on by - to some abuse - but we were off to see Hush, AC/DC, Sports, JoJo Zep, Russel Morris, Sherbet (for the babes), Mondo Rock, man they all played Hurstville - every Saturday night.

Every now and then a convoy of Blue singletted and flannelet 'Normies' would come in from Campbelltown and accommodate the Sharps and pitched battles were fought in the car park of the White Horse Hotel.

I learned some of my best insults by watching.
This happened pretty regularly.

30 years later it's 'Cronulla riots'.

Sounds like a Rose tattoo song, was Angry kicking around the same area?

Back when I was a lad fighting was common inside and outside the pubs, In fact, It still is in dear old Wanganui.

[Big Dave]

Same with Still Got the Blues


Yeah - what I meant. On the same CD

The Tatts played more in the West of Sydney.

The guitarist was in the year above me at School. They were big too. Numerous top 40. Looking back I don't understand why.

[ArcherWC]

[fridayflash]

Oh I can imagine!!! I'd love to go to a Wembley Concert and loose myself in the crowds!!

Headbanger - I agree Razors edge was the best of new era AC/DC (that I've seen,I still have my money!! hehe.)
Mind you, Back in Black would've been good to see!
The '70s concerts with ole Bon would've been AWESOME! I prefer Bon :)

ive still got money from razors edge too, went to the wellington show
then up to the auckland show two nites later...as brian johnson
announced wellington concert goers could get into aucks gig for free
i blew everything i had that week including the diff on my sunbird (welly)

[Kiwi Graham]

Yeah, I heard they sold out in three hours!!!!!!!

Which prompted the third date in Wellington.

Any scumbags touting them on trade me yet?

[woodybee]

:Punk:
Got a wonderful phone call off a mate called Harry in Qtown, who promised to get some ACDC Tickets, and the good top bloke dude, rang me this arvo and said Jan, I got yer two tickets:clap:Well done Harry.

Plan is to save like mad when I get back to the UK, and get a cheap ticket back to NZ for the Concert and take in the Hokitika Rally on the Friday Night, and catch the ferry on the Saturday morning, for the gig on Saturday night and already lined up IDB and told him to bump start his bike and tell it that Woodybee's backside will be placed upon it for the mini tour up to Wellington.

Shall hit the piss after the concert and party on Big time in Wellington it is such a top place to hang out in I loved the city when I first came over here, ,

Had the pleasure of attending the Rock to Wellington gig there last year and had a ball..................

After the concert cruise down back to Qtown catch up with loads of mates and do the Vincent Country Rally, the following week and keep on partying till the flight home a few days after the rally.

Its so worth it to get to se ACDC, as grew up banging my head lightly to ACDC, and alwyas sported a huge grin when I saw them do concerts on the TV, to see such a huge class act like this will be the best experience ever.

So Woodbee is coming back to say Gday in January and first bit of August, and if work:Police: wont give me the time, off can feel a bad back coming up:yes:

Right then off to beddybyes now, but already planning my vist back here and I haven;t even left yet, but in the words of that well know party song "Thats the Way uh huh uh huh, I like it uh ho uh huh.

Oh Lordy, going to have sweet dreams tonight having secured them there tickets, and looking forward to rocking with you again IDB, something we do so well, at concerts eh boy:Punk:

Nite all,

Woodybee x

[sarahtvet]

got mine :Punk::Punk:

Me toooo can't wait :sunny:
Should have a KB mosh pit down the front I reckon :2thumbsup:

Rock to Wellie was awesome. Had seen Whitesnake and Poison before but an Alice virgin so it was really great.

ACDC at Donnington a fair few years ago :innocent: so it will be another blast from the past. Woodybee you've given me an idea :yes:
Must get mate to come from UK too then we can go riding for a week or two afterwards, cool idea thanks

Had to get saturday ones too :lol: now the only decision is do I go twice :yes:or try and sell one set :nono:
Months to decide and pay back the credit card :lol:

[tri boy]

Besides being a bloody legend, Brian J can drive quite well also.
Ya gotta watch this. Top Gear last week in the UK.

Been having a real ding dong with some egg on trade me.

He/she has been trying to sell wellington concert tickets for get this...........$700 a pop. I questioned all of his auctions about his morality, me and about 30 odd others.
He/she obviously has had enough so started on at me on one of my auctions fukin arse.

Mesage is obviously getting through to the scalping asshole because he has dropped the $700 buy now and is just sticking with the $250 no reserve price.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=232818418.

[Nasty]

Picked up a lot of tickets for a "friend" ...

[Kiwi Graham]

Yeah, funnily enough I asked how he could have so many friends with such a stink moral attitude...........still waiting for my answer.

The little prick threatening me with legal action now haha.

Feel free to rip into him on my auction......it runs out today though!

[Zimsar10]

Got me two tickets to the General Field area of Western Springs - I hope to get close to the massive cat walk!

What an idiot, wouldn't have laid into your auction if he/she wasn't feeling guilty.

May get that money on the day but no better than ticket touts taking the pxxxs outside the venue.

Will be keeping the saturday ones for sure, may sell thursday but I had such fun last time I am tempted to go Thursday to warm up and Saturday to really let rip:wari:
