[Live Review] AC/DC at the Stade de France (Paris): Angus Young King (from the stadium) of France.

Despite problems with his at first. Therefore, at the end of his concert, AC/DC returned to the Stade de France, he saw an enthusiastic audience and he defeated. Moreover, Thanks to the expected master asset: Angus Young.

The start of the concert marking the return ofAC/DC At the Stade de France aroused a little fear. However, And that has nothing to do with a beginning which would not have been up to the status of. Meanwhile, Australians as one [live review] ac/dc stade de of the greatest “live acts” in the history of rock (20th century music?).

Start the set with If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It) represents a great idea of introduction. Therefore, Angus Youngeternal symbol of the group’s energy, did not fail to its reputation. Therefore, Brian Johnsonfar from the impression of fatigue given on certain recent YouTube videos. For example, already makes the wipers between the two edges of the scene. Consequently, Yes but … However, on this first song the singer’s voice is drowned in the middle of the rest of the instruments. In addition, In any case, since a high standing platform in the scene-was that better since the pit? Furthermore, A problem that will come back in part at the end of the concert.

Drawn from Power Up, Demon Fire Do not make a strong impression but it does not matter: he is sandwiched between two pieces of bravery (Back in Black, Shot Down in Flames). For example, Before the first moment of takeoff of the concert: Thunderstrucksong that is to the group what Start me up. is at Stones (their latest hymn supporting comparison with the golden age).

And there is Angus. Angus and its red school shorts, Angus Who could look ridiculous in this outfit in view of his white hair. But we don’t care, because the taste of grotesque, ridiculous, regressive is part of identity AC/DC. A group whose singer carries a vest on stage as the only high as well as a beret on. the head.

There is something on the side [live review] ac/dc stade de of both ridiculous. scary of the mythical villains of American horror cinema (Jason Voothees, Freddy Krueger) in the mind AC/DC. Something close to the excesses associated with a stay between men in Vegas too (and hearing the interpret group. Sin City will be one of the great moments of the concert). The big bell on Hells Bellsthe cannons triggered during For Those About to Rock (We Salute You) (which will. conclude this concert as it has completed many others in the group) are connected to this.

But let’s go back to Angus. Angus And his legendary jumps guitar in hand. Angus who has fun playing the six strings with a tie (during Sin City), Angus which seems to have a direct link with the public present. Additionally, Angus with regard to rage. Angus harangating the crowd, Angus whose energy and charisma will compensate for the return of the problems of [live review] ac/dc stade de its mentioned higher at the end of the concert.

But before that the group will have had the cheek to swing its signature song (Highway to Hell) in. the middle of the concert. But no problem when you can draw shortly after Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. finish the pre-location with the trio You Shook Me All Night Long/Whole Lotta Rosie/Let There Be Rock.

And just before the recall there is … Angus In guitar solo mode as long as some progressive rock river pieces. While going up [live review] ac/dc stade de the stairs to continue playing from a platform. And he managed to swallow this to the music lover that I am. A rock fan who has always been wary of demonstrations of virtuosity. prefers the “single agreement” side but the good of punk rock. But hey. Back in Black is celebrated, in the same way as some classics of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, as one of the albums having injected the energy of punk into metal therefore…

It is to believe thatAngus Signed a Faustien pact giving him a sacred scenic fire making the public react to each of his attitudes, at the slightest of his guitar notes. At the reminder, it will be T.N.T. For Those About to Rock (We Salute You) And his cannon blows as well as two mini fireworks on both sides of the scene of the very end of the concert.

Between [live review] ac/dc stade de this set. the one to come from August 13, AC/DC Did he give his last cannon shots in the capital? No matter. it is better to savor the present moment of a concert a little less good than that of May 23, 2015 in the same place, but worthy of the group’s reputation. After all. it is a group that has embodied (in a way certainly different from Stones) The hedonistic side of rock.
