Ok, in case you weren't already envious enough of us, the slime who get to serve the master on Nights with Alice Cooper, here goes! I got to go to an AC/DC "dress rehearsal" last night in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Ok, can I say WOW. Of course, they opened with "Rock 'N' Roll Train" and did ALL the greats, from, of course, "Back in Black" to "Whole Lotta Rosie," to "Highway to Hell."
They sounded just as AC/DC always have, which is to say: hard, heavy, loud, fun. I've seen them at least six times since the late-80s, and they have NEVER disappointed. And they don't know, even if there's a little less hair on the top of the heads, there's as much fire in the guts.
Brian Johnson really spent a lot of time acknowledging the fans, some of whom had come all the way from Japan! There were about 3,000 contest winners and industry people in the Wachovia, and the show looked something like THIS!
