The guitars are great via AC/DC, but the vocals never did anything for me - neither did a lot of the songs. I never really got into them. But hey, four great rock'n'roll guitarists on "Rock Me Baby"? Damn, I'll drink to that.

Absolutely -- until you see Angus live, loud, and in knickers, you can't fully appreciate how much these boys ROCK -- whether you like 'em or not -- they ain't lip syncin', they ain't playin' no ballads, and they ain't dancin' around like a buncha Kansas City faggots!!

Whoah....posers?!?! You may not like them, but fidelity and roots is where those guys is at. Posers?? WTF? Maybe you really are 17 Savziexozzyx.
Nothing but 70s style hard rocking bar blooze from AC/DC since day one. Angus Young is a mondo-sized riff monster of epicurean proportions. That boy is looking very large!
Turn it up! |

i'd give anything to see the young bros on stage with the stones, for ages i took the first acdc as a sort of continuation of the stones, then i had to drop them 'cuase johnson's voice, though not bad, hits my nerves. don't tell anybody but in my past i even fancied keith singin higway to hell, i totally different way of course. |

It's the vocals, Moonie. Not quite as bad as Axl Rose's mind-numbing screech, but still not my favorite. The only person who ever got away with screeching that I enjoyed was Robert Plant, and even then only about 50% of the time... "The Immigrant Song"? Sure, great riff, but... umm... Yes, I too can play octaves and screech about Vikings for two-and-a-half minutes.

Young Savage One!
I'm feelin ya, baby. The YoungBrothers may have a truly nasty occasional steeped in twelve bar weave, but Brian Johnson is hardly ear loving, sans "Back in Black". Bon Scott's shoes may have been a little tootiny for im.RoTfL~ Anyway,i much prefer the true wackhard occasional weave of Halford era Priest. Glenn Tipton and KK Downing have been around as long as the Youngs and have perfected axe hard seaming surpassing Angus and Malcolm, in all truth. They just don't write the likes of"You Shook Me" for mass fourteen year old consumption.
Posers? Nah. AC/DC have earned their respect.They are indeed the genuine downunder article, it's just a listening waste on most records due to the Scott/Johnson MoneyScreech.Ow.
But KK and Tipton are better at "the weave", even though their choice of vocalists have hardly tasted any sweeter!
Anyway, thanks to StonedInAustralia for the pictures and eagerly awaiting his review!

I was talking to a US fan at the gathering last night and I asked how it compared to the other club shows. She said no. 2 after roseland. I said wow. |
|
|
| CS |
Based on the setlist and the guests, Enmore was the best club gig.
I have Roseland and it's great, but to start a show with Midnight Rambler and having Rock Me baby with the Youngs make this the best IMHO |

Just saw the video... man!
Four guitars, Ronnie forming a hop-line, and Chuck's clunking noise exactly where it belonged in the mix!
Hope they keep *that* soundboard!

Early in the show Mick said something like "A hello to any ex-lovers in the audience". I didn't realise it at the time but this was directed at marianne, and on the news last night they said it brought her to tears.
Hearing this nearly brought me to tears.
Parts of TD and no expectations were also on the news, but the audio was terrible. Very thin, couldn't hear much except mick.

Wow!! If this is true, it's very touching!! I'd love to see Mick and Marianne on friendly terms after all these years! They have too much history to be enemies!!
FMK, you just keep bringing us great info!! Rock on, young lad!

AC/DC? Nice.
But joining them for Rock Me Baby seemed cool.
Except for Ride On, when did AC/DC attempt the Blues?
Actually Ride On is not even Blues, it's just a slow song.

He's a friend of mine, Richard, from New-Zealand. He called me this morning live and I heared Tumbling Dice!! |

angie i have been seeing a bit of Richard over the last few days - i'll drop your name next time i see him - there's been a formation of some good friendships over the past days
the zone thing - will richard is certainly a dedicated man and he is totally into the band as his steely look tells - also there was the whole "gate 7" fiasco thing going on at th etime- which fmk mentioned in his review

Cool! Yeah, I can imagine the friendships flowing over there! I wish I could be there with you guys, Richard (I call him Kiwi and he calles me Frau Angie), Marco, Roberto (both from Holland). They phone me and I get update emails...very cool.
Give him my best when you see him! |

Yes I have been meeting richard everyday from Monday and before that I knew him from downunderstones. I said he was in a zone meaning he was just so psyched that he was in another world. It was very stressfull at that point and tensions were high.
Richard was in the front row with Roberto at the superdome last night, and another dutch guy whome I met the night before but who's name I forget (not marko).

Very funny to 'follow' them via the Net, LOL!!! I really want to be Down-Under right now, *sigh*...
I laughed my ass off when I saw Richards pic on RS.com, that look on his face!!! I remember the same look when we were in line for Shepherds Bush (although I was just before him, hehe!!). |

i wanted to wait til the week was over before i put this down but it can't wait anylonger - it might be a more polished if i waitbut with each passing hour the immediacy is slipping away...so here goes
where to begin (and end) .... perhaps it started the night before - i got from the city to my digs in the inner north suburbs and went to ring a friend and dialled the number i thought was his written on a card in my pocket...but it was fmk's number - said he was getting there early and i said i would see him down there - next moring about 11.00 he rang to say there was only a half a dozen or so pepole in the line...
so myself and my mate johnny (my guest amd fellow stones nut) arrived about 12.30... (note to nasty habits - nasty you won't believe it but waiting on the platform at town hall station for the tain to the gig i ran into steve lucas and had a good chat with him on the way out to newtown whereat is the enmore)the day passsed quickly enough... and the line was cool enough that you could leave to get a bite and have a pipe and still return to your position
so i finally get my spot - the dream position - not just the keith side but keith true north and right next to the catwalk - the stage was less than two arms lengths way...
more standing and waiting....support band comes and goes... old blues,r & b and reggae tracks play over the p.a....finally lights go down and then the next thing i knew the band bursts onto the stage at the same time that keith hits the intro riff to "midnight rambler" - honestly folks this was the peak and i went into some sort of psychological/emotional meltdown - not only were they there - 6 feet in font of me - but they were playing that song for openers...and the music!!!...it was fantastic - it was a wild anarchic version - keith was playing some totally "out there" stuff but at the same time drawing down deeply into blues that is at the root of the tune - doing all those things i'd hoped he'd do - taking risks all over the place - anyone who says the band just trots out predictable versions of the "hot rocks" had best hear this and think again...
and for them to open with that tune??!!..what are the odds of that!!...it was almost too much, almost
then followed "tumbling dice" ...my favourite tune.... to nit pick i feel these days they play it too early, too fast and too short - but it was till the sweetest thing.. instead of taking an extended ad - lib to work up the deep soul feel over the outro as in 73 - 75 jagger was able to tap that vein to the motherload with a couple of the most simple yet most righteous vocal licks (not even words just ooh ahh kinda thing) it was, again, wonderful and at the same time i'm still getting over the fact that keith was playing about 6 feet in front of me as he was continually coming up to the edge of the stage
you've seen the set list posted above so i won't repeat it...sound wise, well i was on keith's side and he was loud on stage so it was difficult to make out ronnie's lines - K & R used a variety of guitars and keith was geeting some great sounds out of the semi- acoustic gibson - chuck, thank god, was not obtrusive
keith played honky tonk women with-out a guitar pick - that was some of his best playing of the night
in "dead flowers" keith went to do the backing vox (yes!!) - but his mike wasn't set up!! (the best crews in the world and they still have mistakes as big and obvious as that - you gotta love 'em) - keith turned around and gave a roadie a blast who soon materialized with a mic. and stand
blondie chaplin??? what's up with him???...he has a good gig i'll say that much...plays the world with the stones doing nothing more than few shakes of a tambourine and a couple of chords on satisfaction - nice work if you can get it!!
the smell of dope wafted throught the air at one stage - not surprising you might say - well it was because it wasn't someone in the audience smoking - it was keith - one of his marlboros had been "doctored"
band intro - when mick announced chuck -i thought of you guys and went "booo" - not too loud but fmk heard me (so i guess a few others might have)- how we laughed
then came keith's set - and he went into "slipping away" taking off his guitar after playing the introductory riff -he sang it beautifully, his voice showed the strains of the life he's lived but he put his heart and soul into it -when he finished he ran to end of the catwalk and gave a slap of the palms to the dudes there - i was up the stage end of the walk and as he came back i called "keith!!" and extended my hand - he was almost past me but he retraced his movement enough to give me five - it was a hard steely slap - i was...well...i start running out of words here...
keith then introduced the next song "in keeping with the night" he said - "happy" - when he finished it he tossed his pick in the air - virtually over his shoulder - and it flew gracefully towards me - i reached up and grabbed it clean - one take - what more can i say - how do you think i felt?? - how should i feel?? - i have one of keith's guitar picks - i feel good about it but ultimately one could say "so what" and isn't it all a bit pathetic that such a thing could be important to someone??...what do you think?? - on balance 'tho i'd rather have it than not
after that he came up the walk right next to me and says off mike "here's another one" and launched into the next tune
from there on it was all just bliss - just being there in that place and time
the soul bracket was way way cool - 'tho there would later be complaints!!?? that they "played too many covers" ...well i'm not one of them - those tunes are what the soul of this band is all about and if you don't get that well then you're not really getting the meessage (imo)
i know many of you are fans but i've never been real big on AC/DC - so the young brothers thing didn't really do much at all for me but there you go...
with satisfaction the show was over and with it the end of a dream - not only had i seen the stones but i was front and centre at a venue from "the old days" - a theatre gig -it was just like 1965 all over again...
well i could run through all the songs and stuff and if you've got any questions i'd be glad to answer them but i'm at the stage where i'm just going to be repeating superlatives until they become meaningless
after the show the street is full and we go to the pub up the road and we all party on into the night...about three or four in the morning my friend and i went down the street for a smoke and we then walked around the back streets of newtown still buzzing from the whole thing 'til we came across some abandoned furniture lying in the street - so i lay down on this beat up old couch staring up into the sydney sky with "going to a go go" running through my head - and why not?? - there was nothing else to do and nowhere else to go that could possibly top what we had just witnessed...after a while the sky started turning the colour it is on the inside sleeve of "black and blue" and so we got up and walked to the station to get a train back in to the city... where we walked out of town hall station and down george street in a light,warm early-morning rain and i was feeling sanctified...
there's still more to tell - it was without doubt the most amazing experience of my life so far- but i've got to go and see if i can organize a ticket for saturday...
and i haven't gone into great depths musically because it wasn't all about what songs they played or who played well and who didn't - it was all about us all being there with the band so close and just simply celebrating their existence - they say you can't always get what you want and that's probably true but it doesn't mean that you can't get it sometimes and on tuesday night at the enmore theatre i got mine...
All photos by Stoned in Australia, inserted by me, not necessarily in the set order or according to the text, anyway so fucking great review and pix!!

thanks boomer
i should also mention this:
when mick introduced charlie - the audience went into a chant of "CHAR-LIE - CHAR-LIE" it seemed to go on and on but it was probably for about 30 seconds or so - also when they left the stage charlie was the last to leave and just before he did he turned to the audience one last time to give us all an appreciative nod of the head...
