AC/DC: Chicago Footage Posted Online - Nov. 2, 2008
Video footage of AC/DC's October 30, 2008 and November 1, 2008 concerts at Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois can be viewed below (clips courtesy of AC/DC Italia).

AC/DC's new album, "Black Ice", earned the second biggest sales week of 2008 in its first week on shelves, selling 784,000 copies in the U.S. since going on sale at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club on October 20. The only act to beat out the veteran hard rockers was rapper LIL WAYNE, whose "Tha Carter III" moved just over one million copies in its first week earlier this year. "Black Ice" also represents the first No. 1 debut of AC/DC's thirty-plus-year career. The band hit the top of the chart in 1982 with "For Those About to Rock We Salute You", but did not debut there.

Frontman Brian Johnson told The Pulse of Radio that AC/DC's continued success over the years comes directly from founding guitarists Malcolm and Angus Young. "Malcolm and Angus really gotta take a lot of credit for the fact that they've just stuck exactly to what the first thought about rock and roll . . . Angus has got a lovely story," he said. "When Malcolm asked him to join the band, right at the very start, and Angus asked Malcolm, he said, 'Well, what kind of music are we gonna play?' And Malcolm looked at him, with a quizzical look in his eyes, and he went, 'Rock and roll!'"

"Black Ice" was sold exclusively through Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, their web sites and ACDC.com.

The band's last studio effort, 2000's "Stiff Upper Lip", debuted at No. 7 and sold 130,000 in its first week.

The group's catalog rode "Black Ice"'s coattails, with 92,000 copies of various AC/DC albums also ringing up sales in the last week.

I've been to a few gig in the US (New York and Boston mainly) and yes the crowds are different, a little bit more polite and restrained but they same could be said of their sporting events.

They definitely don't drink as much at gigs as we do, not necessarily a bad thing as some of my experiences at the Glasgow Barrowland will attest to!!!

Note shite though, just different.

Oh and a better version live of Anything Goes compared to the album version.

Sermon over.

COMMENT | Great footage
