For Those About to Rock - Montreal August 8, 2009


Dog Eat Dog


The first date on the US stadium leg of AC/DC's Black Ice tour was at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts July 28. Here's the Rolling Stone review, the setlist and some fan-filmed footage...

As the headliners emerged, around 8:45 p.m., an already-intoxicated crowd of 46,500 rose to its feet and did not sit for the remainder of the night.

Cartoon images of a train carrying the Australian quintet led to an actual locomotive model crashing onstage, which preceded the band's performance of "Rock N Roll Train," the first track off its latest album, Black Ice. "It's good to see you!" screamed lead singer Brian Johnson. Deafening applause ensued. "You guys are making us feel proud up here!" he continued.

Next came a mix of classic AC/DC cuts ("Back in Black," "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap") and tracks from their recent disc, with the latter having slightly less pull. It didn't really matter, though. New song or old, the audience reacted exactly the same way: with a massive roar, a beach ball or two being tossed through the air, and a determination to keep on standing.

The band dressed in its usual elegiac attire -- drummer Phil Rudd in black tee, rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young in black tank, and Johnson in black, sleeveless vest (pulled off remarkably well by the 61-year-old).

As always, the wardrobe award went to lead guitarist Angus Young, who wore his traditional black schoolboy uniform only to remove it during an extended striptease midway through "The Jack."

Ironically, while Young's no-frills, show-within-the-show has become something of a predictable concert event (he stopped at the AC/DC-themed boxer shorts), fans did seem surprised when a cameraman stumbled upon David Spade and Chris Rock sitting side-by-side in the front row.

After a brief lull, Angus took over conducting duties from Johnson and drove the express to its finish. ("That guy's got the devil in his fingers!" exclaimed the singer.) He didn't nail every note, but from "You Shook Me All Night Long" forward, he blasted by on sheer force of will.

"Let There Be Rock" saw the guitarist run across a walkway leading to the sound booth, re-emerge on its roof, play both lying down and behind his head, then sprint back to the stage for a 10-minute solo jam. Even the pyrotechnics of "Highway to Hell," the six-cannon salute of "For Those About to Rock," and the subsequent stadium fireworks felt like afterthoughts in comparison.
