1 day to the Hammersmith Live at River Plate World Premiere

The Hammersmith theatre 24 hours from the big come back of AC/DC...


Not many signs of the AC/DC Live at River Plate DVD... But tomorrow it'll be different...


Will Orangus show up for the Hammersmith DVD premiere in London?

This is the big questions for all the readers of AC/DC Abruzzo blog. After more than 60 shows (41 only during the Black Ice tour) he proved to be as crazy as the AC/DC Abruzzo crew... And 2 days from the big event, we still don't have any news from him....

We met Orangus for the first time outside the legendary Hammersmith theatre in 2003, about one hour from the beginning of the concert. He was the one who provided the ticket for the President who had come to London without a ticket for the show...

With Orangus after the Hammersmith 2003 show...

2 days to the Hammersmith Live at River Plate World Premiere

For Those About to Rock - Live at Hammersmith 2003



From Black Ice World Tour Photo Book (2 years on the road with AC/DC)

by Matteo Abruzzo

"The Carling Apollo Theatre was almost empty. The lights had switched on just a few minutes before in the “stalls section”. The intense smell of sulfur was still floating in the air. Groups of people covered in sweat, smiling and chanting were slowly heading out of the theatre. Most had an excited, euphoric look as if they just had some sort of epiphany.
I could still feel the drone in my ears. I had a last glance at the cannons on the side of the stage responsible for the thunderous explosions earlier on, underlying the tempo of that unexpected Rock’n’Roll apotheosis.
The powerful riff and lyrics of “If You Want Blood, You’ve Got it” were still in my head…
And they would remain there for the next 5 years."
