Pretty sure I went to this show with my then girlfriend Enid, but I am not sure. This was the “Flick of the Switch” tour, and Fastway was the opening act (a most forgettable band; only when I saw the name online when looking up the setlist did I have a glimmer of recollection).
Anyway, not much I need to say about this show. It was AC/DC in the early 80’s. They were loud, high-energy, and totally kicked ass. I’ll let the setlist speak for itself.
Setlist:
- Guns for Hire
- Shoot to Thrill
- Sin City
- This House Is on Fire
- Back in Black
- Bad Boy Boogie
- Rock and Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution
- Flick of the Switch
- Hells Bells
- The Jack
- Highway to Hell
- Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
- Whole Lotta Rosie
- Let There Be Rock
Encore:
- T.N.T.
- For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)
WOW MAN ….MY FAV JOHNSON DC ALBUM!
and you caught this tour! Your are my Hero man!
I missed the boat on this tour! That setlist is Sick. On the AC/DC Plug Me In DVD release one of the shows from the video is from Houston from the Flick Tour. Its so good when Malcolm and Angus lock horns on there guitars on the track Flick of the Switch is so evil sounding its just simply the best!

Ha! Well your comment made my Thursday, dude. Glad you dug the post. Will have to see if I can stream that Plug Me In stuff. They were killer back in the day. Cheers

Oh man, I would have love to see them back then. Surprised not to see “You Shook Me All Night Long” on the set list. Still, must have been a heck of a show.

Yeah, I was surprised too. Actual memory is a little fuzzy (ha ha). It was a while ago. But according to the stats I saw online, they played it sometimes, but not always on that tour. Regardless, a killer concert. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great weekend!
