One single Parisian thunder flash and some 20 minutes of rain was all it took to take another round and another swing in the ring called Stade de France in front of 75.000 rockers. Here, in 2001, they sang Ride On. Someone handed Brian a French national team shirt to commemorate this moment. Nearly 25 years later, they returned once more — a promise kept, a journey completed.
No unicorns, simply thousands of red and
flashing bi-corns at an ac/dc show ha !
The French crowd was much louder than on Saturday. Before the show the French national anthem was sung, and the chanting was really powerful. Some unfortunately got hit by the heat and the long waits in the sun and had to be evacuated - I hope they are well. Sneaky rain
drops must have caused some interference with the microphones for backing
vocals, causing an outage and general confusion at the start of Thunderstruck,
heck... the charm of a live show.
Temperature
and humidity fluctuations means lots of guitar changes, sometimes back and
forth. Stevie playing the Belgian flag:
Black, yellow, red.
No big surprises in the setlist with Dog Eat Dog/"Frog"(?) back in, even though Highway To Hell earlier in the set is great, but it feels weird not having it in the encores, craving for a banger right before TNT. Brian’s vocals again a little lower in the mix compared to Saturday, he's visibly suffering from a cold. The toll of constantly switching between outdoor heat and indoor AC? We wish him a speedy recovery for Karlsruhe!
Have a drink on me – I’ll pay the check. We’ll sure send it J, 4 beers for 48euros !
Second Parisian show in 2025, 25th in history if you lost the count
