Just over 30 years ago AC/DC supported The Who at Wembley stadium. At the end of June the band headlined the venue themselves and put on an impressive show.
The set list was a mixture of tracks from last years mega hit 'Black Ice', expected classics and the odd suprise ('Dog Eat Dog' from 'Let there be Rock').
The band showed no signs of age in terms of energy and movement, although Angus is thinning on top he lacks the vanity of most rock stars and was just focussed on his fantastically primal lead playing - once the school boy hat fell off there was no attempt to cover up.
Our seats were a long way from the action (despite ordering them within a minute of the going on sale), but I must admit the band did a good job of playing to a stadium, and even where we were the sound was wonderfully loud and crystal clear.
With the band hinting that age will prevent them from doing many more tours (and you can see why as the physical commitment in the show is incredible), so I was glad to catch them one more time and to find them on form.

Favourite moment: There were alot of fantastic moments, but as ever the riff and cannon fire combination in 'For Those About to Rock' tops the lot. @
Setlist: I didn't keep a note of the ful setlist - wil do better in the future. @
