AC/DC : Birmingham NEC, 23/04/09
We are going up to the Birmingham NEC tonight to see AC/DC one last time on this run of Arenas. We jump in the motor and make good time up to the NEC. I haven’t watched a gig here actually sat with the audience for a while. It is like something from the seventies, I guess I am just so spoiled with the O2. We are fannying getting jacket potatoes and hot dogs and manage to miss the animation at the beginning, which is a shame. The seats are great though, just to the left of the stage. Of course we are on familiar territory again which is what we want. It is hot, feels like there is no air conditioning again. I have always been hugely impressed that Angus uses the same Gibson SG from start to finish on each show. Every song off Back in Black still sounds magnificent, I find myself taken back to a mythical high school where it is always the summer term and we are meeting the girls after school.
