Tell you what I was at the Wembley gig on Friday & all you lucky lucky people goin to Hampden are gonna see probably the best gig o yer lifes!!
Absolutely magic... On a bad note though Thin Lizzy aren't supporting coz their drummers broke his collarbone...
The answer came on 1st ( they were good... & the subways?( they sucked!)
Have fun people & whatever you do dont miss the 1st 5 minutes cos its spectacular!

As always, a top class show. The weather was great which also helped.

I was there with the kids so I had to go to the seated section but when the band came on we were on our feet the whole time. Incredible atmosphere.

The shouts of "Oi" during TNT were off the scale.

Highway to Hell was my personal highlight.

what a amazing show, and even a firework display to finish it off ,thought the answer was brillant as well. the subways were a decent band as well. saw ac/dc on the ballbraker and stiff upper lip tour and angus and co gave the same high energy performance as these peformance's even with them adding more years onto themself.was at metallica in march but this show blew the metallica show away

I have to agree last nights performance was the tightest i have seen the band in the 4 times i have seen them since 1991and Angus's guitar playing was 2nd to none putting in up there with the all time greats

I so hope this is no farewell but if it is the memories will last forever

I loved the show, got great seats even with arm rests (see pic!)

Thought the answer were good, but thought subway lead singer swore too much and was trying to suck up to the crowd too much. Other than that it was quality.

Brilliant Im glad everyone enjoyed Hampden . If i could've i would've gone to both Wembley & Hampden!

Looks like Alex Skolnick trio is next on ma gig agenda!

It was a textbook gig. Dog Eat Dog! Oh aye. Cant believe we walked from hampden to union street afterword though. Catastrophically foolhardy idea. My feet are shredded.

'MARE!

we entered the queue for the train back to Glasgow Central... easily the longest queue i've ever seen in my life... huge.

good thing was though, the queue was constantly moving so we were back in the town for before 12 and in the noodle bar by half past

Went to see John Mayall instead. A rare time indeed.

**guitarzan** · 06-Jul-09, 11:54

That would have been worth a watch surely Pepsi?

A highlight of our trip down was on the Monday night... we went to Stereo on Renfield Street and were treated to a night of AC/DC covers by Orcadian based folk band The Chair.

Fiddles, banjo, pipes - the lot. For one night only they were "Riff Raff" - the Highlands and Islands answer to Hayseed Dixie.

Really gutted I didn't get more footage, too busy drinking Red Stripe and headbanging - but have a wee look at this video here:-

Lau aside, The Chair are probably the best folk live band in Scotland. I've seen AC/DC a couple of times before, and as influential as they are, Mayall helped further the careers of many equally-influential popular musicians today. And arguably more influential than Angus Young will ever be. I wonder if Angus Young will still be playing when, and if, he reaches the age of 75?
