Gnomicide Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 When did they last play Riff Raff live? That's my favourite. According to Setlist FM, apart from a one off thing for VH1 in 1996, two shows in 1986 seems to be the last time. Before that it got regular outings until 1979.

eFestivals Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 One of my few regrets, gig wise, is that I never saw them with Bon.Randomly a year or three back I flipped on the TV and there was an old Rock Goes To College (remember those?) programme on, with AC/DC with Bon, from Colchester I think it was.I'm a long way from being a big fan, even in my teenage metal days they didn't feature highly with me. But oh my gawd, that programme just blew me away.If you can track it down, it's sooo worth watching. It's also quite amusing for just how basic a band's show was back then. You don't much notice the little changes over the years as they happen, but the diffe4rences when looking back like that are striking.

Obviously this was a Rock Goes To College show but when you see shows from back then, it always strikes me how young the audiences were. Not that young people don't go now but it seems that everyone is young and no-one over the age of 21 bothered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that was probably BBC3/4 (can't remember which which) that were showing a lot of their old rock archive when they started. There's stuff on you tube. A great Steve Hillage one. Remember The Stranglers (we don't play to elitist audiences)? Pretty sure I remember a Specials one as well. And possibly a Queen. It's absolutely criminal how much musical heritage the beeb are sitting on/have destroyed. To stay on thread, also on YouTube (I think. It was a long time ago. It may have been Mininova (RIP)) I once found some great footage of AC/DC and Rush playing the same festival. I can but dream that that may happen again.

It's absolutely criminal how much musical heritage the beeb are sitting on/have destroyed. I think BBC4 do a pretty reasonable job - if you also have Sky Arts then that's good too. Though if you like early Queen, this is coming soon....:http://www.queenonline.com/en/news-archive/press-release-live-at-the-rainbow-to-be-released-in-september/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatthewBL Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 I'd be happy with them playing, but whether they could top Metallica's performance this year remains to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elias Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I'd be happy with them playing, but whether they could top Metallica's performance this year remains to be seen. Purely from a crowd pleasing perspective, I think they'd be far better received. AC/DC have many more well known hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theDandy Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Purely from a crowd pleasing perspective, I think they'd be far better received. AC/DC have many more well known hits. I agree, it'd much more of a singalong than Metallica. I'm not saying they'll be better but a lot more accessible to the crowd who may not be as familiar with them.

CaledonianGonzo Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 It'd be the most classic-stuffed set since the Stones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 It'd be the most classic-stuffed set since the Stones. Well, it could be. But don't they have a big habit of playing most of their current platter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Well, it could be. But don't they have a big habit of playing most of their current platter? 3-4 newish tunes usually. If even. Its still a setlist packed with hits. This was pretty much the standard setlist from the last tour Rock 'n' Roll Train Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be Back in Black Big Jack Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap Shot Down in Flames Thunderstruck Black Ice The Jack Hells Bells Shoot to Thrill War Machine High Voltage You Shook Me All Night Long T.N.T. Whole Lotta Rosie Let There Be Rock Encore: Highway to Hell For Those About to Rock (We Salute You) Edited September 1, 2014 by The Nal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 They'd maybe boil it down a bit for a shorter festival set. That's if they even have a new album out - though it does seem that one is forthcoming.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyfaddle Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks for that. I would LOVE it if AC/DC headlined next year. Last time I saw them was March 1988 in Wembley Arena (Highway to Hell tour). They were brilliant. Couldn't move my neck for a few days after from all the headbanging.
