    AC/DC is still the loudest yet cleanest concert I have ever been to. Can never figure out how they always played at a studio quality level on the stage.

      I agree this was his prime but would still rather hear nobody but Brian belting the lyrics. Age affects us all. I just turned 40 and I swear the day I did everything started hurting. And to think that Brian Johnson was around 43 during this concert and able to not miss a beat is crazy. People think touring and playing a gig 5 times a week in different cities would be so easy. Just play Back in Black while standing in your house and singing along. I was out of breath before the 1st set of lyrics was over and I tried it in my late 20s lol.

For all the senselessness that social media is, I give IG full praise for throwing a snippet of this gold in my satchel today & that was my introduction. I’ve had this vid on repeat since. Just a black kid from metro Detroit who grew up on nothing but Motown and black gospel music. Even with that background, this performance, this song immediately CAPTIVATED me 👀 👀! Beyond epic! I certainly knew of AC/DC before but couldn’t name 1 of their songs or sing a single lyric. I CAN NOW! Just tee’d up this full concert at Donington Park. The music industry and music in general lost its way long ago but thank Angus Young there were golden eras of each genre of music. This performance right here is example of the sheer genius of classic rock. Now pardon as I play catch up on this now 30 plus years of greatness 😅. “Thunder! Ahh ahh ah ahhhhh ha! 🎵 🎸

      In the 80's they got into the hundreds of thousands. Then two people died in a crush in 1988 when guns n roses were playing, and so they put a limit on how many could get in.
      I think the count on this day was somewhere between 60,000 and 70,000.

    It never ceases to amaze me that this is live and yet the quality is SO slick it might as well have been done in the studio. What a load of absolute legends.

    This shows that the 80s and 90s are the pinnacle in "social" society, ironically before "social media" which is anything but social. The energy from the band is unsurpassed. The crowd is focused, engaged and not a single phone, video being shot or uploaded, nor a single selfie.

      Das kann ich nur bestätigen. Hatte das Glück sie 2003 in Hockenheim ( Germany ) zu sehen. Als "Vorgruppe" der Stones. Ich mag die Stones aber gegen den Auftritt von AC/DC kamen sie nicht an. Eine Stunde AC/DC es war unvergleichlich. Diese Energie.Dagegen wirkte der Auftritt der Stones etwas müde. Sie hatten sich mit AC/DC als Vorgruppe keinen Gefallen getan. Das hatte ich mir schon vorher gedacht. Dieses Konzert habe ich nur wegen AC/DC besucht. Und wie gesagt es war der wahre Wahnsinn!!!

      @@ingridescherle1911 Beide Musikgruppen sind meiner Meinung nach ausgezeichnet. Das Beste der 60er ist Stones, während die 70er AC DC und die 80er Motley Crue sind. Britisch Australisch und USA. wahre Weltmusik!

    AC/DC are the ultimate people's band. Nobody delivers the good times like they do. No pretention, no holding back, just straight up, 100 proof, electrifying, rock 'n' roll. Forget your troubles and enjoy the ride!!!
