Exactly!! Never understood the U2 fascination, I still don't care for them.

This though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sUXMzkh-jI 

Bon Scott was the man.

to me U2 = short arse in heels preaching and looking for Irish people, the tax payers, to dig deep whilst the whole band are domiciled offshore for tax reasons. Plus the "music" seems to have been composed by a BBC model B computer on autopilot dreadful stuff. Bon was the man!

I was lucky enough to see AC/DC with Bon Scott in London 1978. Still rate it as the best concert I ever went to. Even beats Bob Marley and the Wailers.

Terrible shame Malcolm Young now has dementia.

AC/DC in the Glasgow Apollo 1978 best live show it became "if you want blood" live album.  Yes Glort some of us are old rockers the rolling part is a distant memory. I was talking to my mate recently he just joined a dating site his partner died 3 years ago. He was talking excitedly about the good looking women on the site until I pointed out that the women that MIGHT sleep with him or me are grandmothers! Kinda took the wind out of his sails for a second or 2 but his rolling days are mostly over too.

Here is an Aussie I just recently came across. Has a pretty good '80's vibe about it for being fairly recent.

I saw Yothu Yindi in (2003?) in Sydney at the Harley-Davidson 100th birthday bash (something of a sad sham) they were fronting for "Barnsey" and they made him look like the tired old stager he was, too.  They should have been top of the bill IMHO

Bottom of the Bill should be U2.  Talked about tired, uninspired, insincere . . . . I am so tired of Bozo saving the world.

However - if you want to see composition and arrangement in live action around what is a very good piece of Rock Music in the first place - check this out:

The wonderful irony, of course, is that Mr Clapton, playing the guitar here, was shagging the girl for whom George wrote the song at the time . . .

Check out the lineup  :)

There's a bit of a thing going on here, I saw AC-DC some time in the late 70's as well, in a tiny little club in Plymouth, Devon.

Angus Young was so out of it they did a couple of numbers without him, had a short break, gingered him up with something and then fired him back on stage.

Is there a link between heavy metal and cast iron?

Cheers
