As I was sitting in Hampden stadium last week, it struct me that I have been going to see AC/DC gigs for longer than I have not. First saw the band live back in 1984 at the Monsters of Rock festival where they headlined having shared the bill with Van Halen, Ozzy Osborne, Gary Moore, Y&T, Accept and Motley Crue. The first record I heard was "If you want Blood" and that was back in the punk days of 1978 ! It was also really pleased to be seeing the band in 2009 with my eleven year old daughter ! One thing that has changed over the years is Angus and I both have significantly less hair than we used to.
The set was great ...especially the addition of "fling thing" but the highlight was the intro to "you shook me all night long". This sound will forever more take me back to each morning in the Moroccan Sahara and the start of each stage of the 2008 Marathon des Sables. It had a magical power that enabled folks who could barely walk ready for another 20 odd miles in the sand and heat ...magic stuff indeed.
