ACDC in Tokyo!
Been ecstatic about this concert for months, and I had to have Laryngitis now. Imagine going to ACDC concert when you can’t sing nor shout along. What a punishment it was.
I was initially going to Perth to see them, but getting the tickets was such a pain in the arxx, they were sold out within minutes world wide, so I had to go on ebay. While I was studying the auctions and deciding at which price I would offer to trade, a friend in Tokyo found a couple of tickets. Voila, I was in Tokyo.
As I was traveling across the town to get to Saitama, I was praying that I won’t be demanded to be fastened to my seat. Unlike most of the venues around the world where they’re performing, the Saitama Super Arena Stadium does not offer standing tickets. Having heard the reputation of the Japanese audience being one of the tamest in the world, I was dead worried.
As luck would have it, everyone were on their feet as soon as the concert starts. The concert only really kick off with Thunderstruck. Haven’t been that much into their Black Ice album, but I thought I should see them live anyway, this might just be their last world tour.
I thought Brian Johnson has lost bit of his voice, they have after all been on tour for more than a year. All in all, it was Super!
