The Louder It Is, The Better It Sounds


There are some funny continuity issues in this video! Hat on - hat flies off! Hat is back. Hat replaced by horns. Hat back again! - and that's just Ang's headgear. But it's pretty clear just from looking at the video that it's not intended to be a straight performance clip of this one song. No one could think that, not with the Brian swinging from the bell, cannons going off, Rosie bouncing around and Angus everywhere at once! No, it's pretty obvious this is meant to distill a number of the highlights of the currently touring live show into one clip.

Tall order! But I think they did a decent job. One thing I can personally vouch for is, that crowd noise is no lie. People went ape over this tune when they played it in Oakland. Deservedly so: it sounded great! Sounds great here.

One thing I love about AC/DC fans: they turn out in force and in a good mood, and they cheer just as loud for the new stuff as the classics.

One thing I love about AC/DC: they consistently churn out new stuff that deserves to be cheered for just as loud as the classics.

Great rock band. In my opinion, the best there's ever been.
