2009 River Plate Argentina
What happens when the thunder from down under plays for rabid Argentinian fans? An earthquake. Literally. The crowd set off seismograph during “Thunderstruck.” You have never witnessed a crowd like this before. A vast sea of human waves that suddenly explodes when the band reaches a crescendo.
AC/DC is in peak form being loud and louder. How did Angus Young keep up the pace without exhausting himself? He’s no longer a young man here yet his energy level incites an already raucous crowd. The entire concert is like this and why it has been called the most epic concert in history.
Angus and company have been called a simple two chord band essentially playing the same song over and over. The formula works because no other band commands such a fanatical devoted worldwide following.

I remember being in Indianapolis when an AC/DC concert was happening. I was in town for a conference, but we needed a police escort because the AC/DC fans were going nuts and throwing things on the streets at us. One fan was hanging out of a window threatening to take a tumble, and the people on the ground were yelling “Jump!”
It was crazy, and the music is amazing.

I wonder if the band members are deaf today? Causing an earthquake is something else

Lead singer Brian Johnson does have hearing issues which prompted a leave of several years.

Angus Young, the human bobble head. I’m serious, watching him for more than two videos hurts my neck.

Like Japan, South America does concerts right. That was great.
They make the same song over and over, yet they get away with it because it's still always interesting.

I had a dream yesterday night that I was on a plane with co-workers (I don't work, but in the dream I was working). We were going somewhere, but we were stopping in Argentina for some reason. When I sat down, I realized I didn't have any luggage. I told my boss and she told me to sit back down and worry about it later. Then I woke up.
Anyway, good concert.
