I just got out of the AC/DC concert in Chicago at Allstate Arena. It was amazing! A completely sold-out show, about 19,000 fans there. I got a great seat through the fan club, on the floor, 21 rows back from the stage, next to the catwalk. Angus came down the catwalk! I could have touched him! Except for the 300 pound security guard who threw himself between me and Angus. Damn. The scurity inside the arena, and the police presence outside, was pretty over-the-top. We're all waiting in line to get in and an actual SWAT van rolled past and we all started laughing. It was hilarious to see all these young cops in helmets staring warily at us old farts like we might start rioting and laying waste to Chicago. I guess the decades have not dimmed our reputation, lol.
Anyway, a great show, not long enough, though. A good mix of old and new songs. I think I should have some great pictures. And none of them taken with a zoom lens, that is just how close I was.
personal,
