I didn’t have any issues with the sound, nor the people that I was with. the 20 minute solo is comedy.

i was there on Friday and loved it. That 20 minute solo was awesome and reminds every one of us why we’d love to be doing what they’re doing at any point, let alone at their age. Shoot to Thrill was my highlight bar that solo on LTBR. Some people had issues with the sound but where I was, a little left of centre, it was fine. First time I’ve been to Wembley and was happy with the stadium experience.

just be grateful you got to see one of the all time great bands perform.Plenty of people would have loved to have been there and not MOANED about the setlist!!!.
I took my son and just made sure he realised how lucky he was to be a small part of it.Maybe you should go see Take That you might enjoy the show more!!!.

I would like to be half as disapointing as them!!!.loser

Now if they were to play Donnington, that would be an entirely different matter. They could do a set of Take That covers and I’d still be happy.

I was at the gig, standing at the front just to the left of the gangway.
From this position it was very reminisant of the 2 times I’ve seen them at Monsters of Rock (Donnington), fantastic gig.
By comparison first time I saw them was on the Back in Black tour I was about 14 it was in our local venue which holds about 1500 people how times change.
Who knows they might make Donnington next year, now that could be a sell out.

Thanks for the comment. I guess our experiences were somewhat different. I understand that they would have played a similar set list anyway, but a few left fielders in there (Rock and Roll Ain’t Noise pollution, Night Crawler) wouldn’t have gone amiss. Also, knowing that a lot of fans would have been seeing them the second (3rd?) time this tour, maybe altering the order the setlist would have been an idea.
The comment about Malcom was a cheap shot I guess. He’s actually very cool, although, yet again, somewhat predicatble.
I evidently missed the the extra guns. Never mind. Maybe next time they come around I’ll lower my expectations a little (from ridiculously high to only uncheivable) and loosen up a little.

I was also at the Wembley gig – first time I ever saw AC/DC live and they did not disappoint me one bit.
Maybe it was a predictable setlist but its what the fans would have asked for anyway.
“his brother and the other bloke stay at the back where they belong.” is, I think, a pretty derogatory comment. Malcolm Young is widely accepted as being the primary songwriter and leader of the band. Angus often pays tribute to Malcolm as being the better guitarist and the guy who holds it all together. The Bass guitarist did what bass guitarists do but I still dont like the “back where they belong” comment.
By the way there were 12 guns (still not 21) 6 in the middle of the stage and 3 more at each side.
For those who absolutely ROCKED We salute you!!!!
