I'm not a massive AC/DC fan but when it comes to live albums ' If You Want Blood You've Got It ' is up there with the best for it's sheer quality and rawness. My favourable track of theirs has to be Let There Be Rock.
True but with Brian and Angus you do have the main focuses of their live performance.
Age is no barrier as my two faves Iron Maiden and Metallica are no spring chickens but both still smashing it out of the park in stadiums around the world.
Ditto. The only chance I really had was 1983 Reading Festival right at the end of their career with Phil. However, even in my late teens I was not a big fan of big field festivals in a tent. Big mistake really as I could have also seen The Stranglers on the first night although I recall they...
Now this is a crowd. Completely mental that one half of the Russian Army is trying to control the crowd whilst the other half are those going berserk in the crowd. Not forgetting the military gunship helicopter above!
Very strange. Live Aid was 1985 and Phil died in 1986. Phil was deep into the drugs along with band mate Scott Gorham long before that and it was one of the primary reasons guitarists Gary Moore jumped ship half way through the US tour in 1979.
That's a bit harsh on Geldof. Phil's death is one of the greatest rock tragedies. Supremely talented and charismatic to boot. However, he was his own worst enemy and would not be helped. For me his legacy is quite simply one of the greatest live albums ever in Live and Dangerous :)
Gutted that Metallica have not done any UK stadium gigs as part of the current M72 tour. They just did Donnington last year and way too old now for standing in a big field.
