    I can't fúcking wait for it - pub at 2pm - AC/DC at 9pm :D
    It's all about managing the pace.
    It's gonna be epic - The greatest rock band in the world.
    Will be my 3rd (and probably last :() time seeing them.

    Shot down in Flames :D

    Going up on a bus and the other people going can't get the full day off work so we have to leave at 3pm the earliest

    Vintage Trouble apparently are the support for this, saw them open for The Who. Pretty good.

    Yeah, saw them in Whelan's in 2013 - when they were over with The Who

    Was a stunning little gig - Great Band

    Was hoping they would do another side-show somewhere local this week but alas there doesn't appear to be anything happening.

    Hey,

    I am heading up to tomorrow for night out before the concert. seriously cant wait for it.

    Does anyone know if anything on night before for acdc fans? thought might be a tribute band or themed table quiz but can see anything and think something like that would be good crack. the more time around my fellow acdc fans the better.

    anyone know of anything let me know

    Yeah, they take their smoking ban seriously too. Security prowl the crowd to make sure no one is smoking.
    Seems silly at an outdoor show.

    Whole Lotta Voltage an acdc tribute band are playing after the race meeting in fairyhouse on weds 1st july. seems odd that members of a top tribute band will not even be at a live show of there idols. The crowd at fairyhouse will just be a few kids and few drunken guys in suites lol. all the die hard acdc fans will be at the aviva not fairyhouse

    Hampden gig was great, as usual, but in all honesty it's such a finely-tuned machine at this stage you know exactly what you're going to get. They were on stage quite early, shortly after 8pm, so if you want to actually see the show and not just spend the day drinking to the point where you're not sure if you're actually there or not, I wouldn't hang about getting into the stadium.

    I think it's a very obvious point. You were complaining in a "music snobbery" type of way that there will be fairweather fans at the gig. And then you said that you couldn't be arsed with the new album even though you bought it.

    Think you got busted there. That sounds as fairweather as you can get.

    They're not making bands like that anymore. Great gig.
    'for those about to rock' worth the entry fee alone.

    Great gig, loved Dirty Deeds and TNT.

    First time in the Aviva, great venue. We were seated great view of the stage.
    Not use to clean toilets at a rock gig:D

    Good to see loads of kids there rocking out with their parents.

    Savage gig last night,where do they get the energy especially Angus ,like a feckin young lad!!!.highlights for me were tntDirty deeds ,for those about to rock and u shock me all night long .much better gig and atmosphere than punchestown .was on the pitch and 'twas entertaining from lads blotto drunk and high on whatever oblivious to what was going on to women getting their knockers out to lads peeing in pint cups,a couple giving each other hand jobs !! To the majority just enjoying and going nuts to every song .really enjoyed it and hopefully they'll be back!!

    The only song in the set list for this tour that I was disappointed with was Baptism by Fire. I know they always play songs from the current album but that one is one of the poorer songs on ROB.

    I would have loved Dogs of War and they even made a video for Rock the Blues Away so I was surprised that wasn't the choice after Play Ball and the title track. Baptism by Fire is pretty crap in all honesty.

    Really? Where did I do that then?

    I didnt write post #595? Some dude called RayCon did. Nothing to do with me.

    You are mixing me up with a different poster. Do you want some cream to go with that humble pie..:rolleyes:
