From the Vice President in Buenos Aires (December 5 - 10 am Argentinian Time)

NGULA! (this means F***ing Hell in Abruzzese!) So we were in the pitch tonight. Marco, Alessandra and me... After 3 songs we basically lost Marco (during Shoot to Thrill he twisted his ankle but apparently he kept jumping till the end anyway). During Dirty Deeds we were so pressed we couldn't even move or raise our arms! AHAHAH From the beginning to the end of the show we were going left and right, backward and forward, up and down. It was like going on the roller coster with AC/DC playng a few metres from you....AHAHAHAH... We had a hell of a time! But listen to this: During Whole lotta Rosie a circle of a 10 metre of diameter suddenly opened and we ended up just in the middle. In the eye of the vortex... Then the pimball effect started! Pazzesco! It was a lot of fun!! The weirdest thing to understand for those who were not there it was that we never felt it was violent, like it happened to us in England or somewhere else during the tour. And nobody was drunk! Umbelievable! People were just jumping and singing and hugging each other. Like Spain but way more energetic! Everyone was having the time of their life. Big gracias to the Argentinians for this...!

They recorded the whole show with extra cameras everywhere! During our going back and forth we saw the camera on that trolley going left and right in the middle of the audience. What do you call it? No, it's not a steadycam. Anyway you got the idea... We stopped by to say CIAO! AHAHAHAH The performance of the band was much better tonight than on the other night. They were warming up for the first take... Marco says the crowd was less wild... I don't agree. At least that's the impression I got.... Ah... We also had some juicy Angus Argentinian T-bone steaks... before the show obviously... Delicious... Pics and videos soon! ;-)

2nd Argentinian stop of the RnR Train is approaching....

Marcom and Andrea at the Monumental stadium

We forgot to tell you that at the first show there were even fireworks INthe audience (like flares supporters use to celebrate during soccer matches). The last time we saw that was in 2001 during Highway to Hell at the SDF in Paris... (Or maybe was Stadio Delle Alpi in Turin...)

Anyway while the second Buenos Aires concert is approaching we publish the comments full of excitement of another friend from Spain who is also in Argentina at the moment for these 3 memorable nights of rock'n'roll!

tomorrow and sunday, I'll be in the pitch hehe, the
japanese guy from the forum was in the pitt second row
and it was so violent that he had to go back ( extreme
pushing like the crowds in paris or london, it's like a
crowd that is more vocal than bilbao, extreme pushing
like paris, and everyone jumping from the front to the
back)I'm kind of scared and excited at the same time, I
know those argentineans are wild, but I think dying
during an ac/dc concert is one of the best way to die
:)

hahaha I'm so pumped up

We just managed to reach the Vice President in his hotel room in Buenos Aires. Here's what he told us.

When describing the Argentinian audience he used the untranslatable Abruzzese expression "Natre passe", which means something like "Just another league"... Comparing to the other crowds seen around the world during the last 12 months of tour the Argentinians seemed to be the hottest and the wildest... The standing area of the River Plate Stadium was constantly jumping during the whole show, even between the pauses. (!!!) All the songs were accompanied by loud chanting, even Black Ice. (!!!). Highway to Hell was the loudest song of the entire tour. Satan himself would be proud of this audience...

The performance of the boys was excellent as usual. Obviously the setlist remained the same. Apparently the extra cameras expected for the recording of the live DVD were not there last night. Probably the shoot will take place tomorrow and on Sunday...

Soon more on the Argentinian trip of AC/DC Abruzzo... Stay tuned....

NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT:

While renovating the AC/DC Abruzzo blog and preparing ourselves for the second year of activity, we added a special section (right column) linking all the reports of our European Tour to the date of the show we attended. This way AC/DC Abruzzo's crazy adventures around the world will remain for posterity... Amen.

AC/DC ABRUZZO IN ARGENTINA!


Hectic weeks for AC/DC Abruzzo's staff... While AC/DC Abruzzo's President is in Sydney eating kangaroo, fighting gigantic spiders and arranging the final details of Project Australia the Vice President Andrea is currently reaching Buenos Aires together with his wife and Marcom of AC/DC Italia to participate in the 3 memorable concerts that will take place in the Argentinian capital on December 2, 4 and 6. AC/DC Abruzzo couldn't miss Argentina and will be there to tell you everything!

As you probably already know AC/DC have reportedly decided to record the three Buenos Aires shows for their next coming Live DVD. No doubt the Argentinian crowd (lots of them are of Italian and Abruzzese heritage) is one of the hottest and wildest crowds of the planet and the shows will be awesome! After the Rock'n'Roll Train video shot in London, the "Anything goes" video shot in Paris Bercy AC/DC Abruzzo will be again in an official AC/DC video release.

HAIL HAIL TO THE GOOD TIMES! FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK (We salute you)!

The Vice President Andrea
