SOUNDCHECK IN PERTH
According to our sources, the band and part of the crew went to the Stadium to do a soundcheck a couple of hours ago. This probably means a change in the setlist.

AC/DC ABRUZZO OFFICIAL REPORT
After Brisbane and the Gold Coast and the rainy weather we arrived in Adelaide on a Monday night and surprisingly it was as cold as a winter day in Europe! We still can't figure out the weather in Australia... Anyway, it took us 2 hours to find a place where we could eat something at night...
The concert took place in one of the smallest venues of the entire open air tour: the Adelaide Oval, a cricket stadium. Very close to the city centre, it had a nice semicircular shape for the concert setup which created a very intimate atmosphere if compared to Sydney or Melbourne. But for some unknown reasons at 7.30 there were still thousands of people in line outside, calmly queueing in the typical anglosaxon way (like a serpentine) to enter one of the two gates available (???). We don't know if they managed to get in time (concert started earlier 8.30pm). Anyway only a few people were complaining... In Europe there would have probably been riots....
Green uniform for Angus. Short catwalk. Sleeply crowd again. Some interesting characters coming directly from the Australian outback. There was a beautiful (almost) full moon tonight which was immediately pointed out by Brian who started howling!! We loved it! Same amazing performance by the band. No need for further comments. Malcolm didn't use the WhiteFalcon again (apparently in Brisbane it was a problem with the beltpack and not a broken string).
That's all from Adelaid-Hell. See you in Perth!

KOSP ITALIAN SEDUCTION SCHOOL
In Brisbane and Adelaide a few sets ("set" is a technical term for group of women) were opened (approached) by KK's instructors under the supervision of the Master Pick Up Artist himself who provided constant counselling while in the field. A few routines by K.K. to be used in the interactions with girls were also fieldtested succesfully. Training of student Brett will continue in Perth and in Sydney.

AC/DC ABRUZZO OFFICIAL REPORT
8 AC/DC shows in a row! Tonight we broke our record! 57 shows under our belt for AC/DC Abruzzo during the Black Ice tour.
We knew it would rain tonight (Australian weather is so difficult to understand for Italians). Anyway, it was very cloudy during the day and very hot as well. Tonight we had seats on Malcolm's side so we got a different perspective. We had a good view of the whole stadium. The crowd looked again quite sleepy, at least according to our standards. Standing still in the 3 Arena sections and always seated on the seats. Tonight it seemed they also had problems with lyrics (the ANGUS chanting during Whole Lotta Rosie wasn't audible at all!). No offense intended, but the crowd behaves more like a U2 crowd than an AC/DC crowd...
But after Rosie something changed. It started raining. The rain got heavier and heavier and the crowd started getting more excited, especially during Angus' solo on the catwalk. The solo reached its pinnacle when Angus was lifted over the crowd on his "rock'n'roll tower" in the middle of the audience completely soaking wet (watch our video). That was really EPIC! Even Brian seemed to enjoy the weather and spent a lot of time on the catwalk! Just like in Munich last June!
Malcolm used the legendary White Falcon during High Voltage (probably he broke a string before). Last time we saw him using it was in Germany last year and Scotland, I think. We love that guitar, especially on Malcolm's hands... It actually looks bigger than him! But he plays it with such intensity and vigor that it looks like a wild animal tamed by a powerful master.
During Highway to Hell a crazy fan managed to jump on the catwalk and started running towards Brian. A security guy followed him running in a cumbersome way with a transparent raincoat. Brian kept singing while freezing in an oblique position in the middle of the catwalk in order to dodge both runners. The guy got caught near Cliff and thrown down. That was pretty funny!
See you in Adelaide!
BERCY, PARIS FEBRUARY 27, 2009
For the record exactly one year ago we were at the Paris Bercy in France for one of the best gigs of the entire Black Ice tour. Excellent performance of the band (they also shot the video for Anything goes) and amazing crowd! Memorable night for rock'n'roll!
