MADRID, JUNE 5 2009 Estadio Vicente Calderón

From our correspondant:

Worst concert of the open air tour. Concert starts after 10pm. Problems with the PA system during the entire show. Angus' guitar not audible at times. A lot of rain and wind. Awful acoustics. The Great Musician Niccolo Paganini, aka the Devil's Violin, used to say: "Open air is good only for playing bocce"! The Spanish audience didn't care and went crazy anyways. Nice girls on the screens during The Jack but unfortunately no boobs flashing this time. Ciao

UPDATE!!! 

From "Enthusiastic" AlexMadrid

I don't agree in any way with this review. If this has been the worst show, I can't imagine how can it be the best. I was in the pit on the left side and there wasn't any PA problem. In fact, the sound was far better than I expected being an open air stadium. The "lot of rain" has been a bit of light but constant rain during Thunderstruck to The Jack. And that was all. 50.000 souls filled the third biggest spanish stadium to the top. The Highway to Hell chorus must have been heared in the other side of the city. Highlights was Shot Down In Flames,You Shook Me All Night Long and TNT. In the bad side, Black Ice songs gets the audience very cold, leaving apart Anything Goes. Particullary Black Ice must be removed from the set-list as soon as possible. Apart form this, everybody left the show extremely happy.

  2. Interesting! We got some controversial opinions... That's good!
    Our correspondent does have very picky ears and maybe got a bit spoilt attending too many indoor shows in the last few months...
    Thank you Alex!!

  3. Thank you for posting my review. Obviously I enjoyed most the indoor show, but seeing 55.000 (offical attendance) people going crazy with ac/dc songs it's something that it must be lived once in a lifetime. Checking the comments in spanish forums, everybody gets a positive review of the show.
    Let there be rock to all of you.

    P.D. I'm not so "enthusiastic", just a long-time fan ;)

  4. I was at the stands, just in front of the stage and the sound was just awesome. No problem at all.
    We had some obvious delay of sound of about half second but it sounded perfect. I´ve heard some other people on the pit complaining about sound problems, but it´s obvious it wasn't for everybody.

    We salute you!

  6. juventus will (lost / loss / defeat ) if ( befikir / think) could be 0-0 with barca , barca can not ( count / read / considered ) in this way ............... ( Neymar , messi , suarez ) not 0 ....... , strategy ( wrong / false / no hit ) is fatal for juventus .
