No probs, Madame Angus Young, you know what I mean....AC/DC (and for me, Angus in particular) rocked us all at the Foro del Sol Sunday night. Like the recent Gibson guitar blast says: "No-one wallops out the massive bone-crunching tone like Angus Young on his GibsonSG." And I mean totally wipes away any doubts when he whips into whichever song they decide to play. Just to let you take a breath, no changes to the set list. Who cares???? The crowd was completely into it, young and older alike. I saw 8 year olds and some well into ACDC's age range. Met some Mexican fans sitting around me--really cool people. The stadium looked over 3/4 full and no one let up in shouting, singing, screaming for the entire thing. No one in my vicinity sat down for any of it--it would have been emotionally impossible to sit down, really.
The weather was clear and enjoyably cool. Really great night for a stadium concert. The crowd was really lively going into the stadium and clearly, they were totally in adulation of the guys. Brian, once again just ate up the crowd´s reaction, and encouraged us to really let it out vocally. A funny thing happened in one of the later songs (the title will come to me any moment now)...Brian just didn´t sing one of the lines and looked out at us...we were singing anyway, so no big deal. Brian picked it up in the next line and as Angus was walking behind him as part of the song, he casually, but deliberately bumped his hip into Brian´s backside, kind of like, whatever, dude! Bet they gave Brian hell over that one later.
I was at the guys' hotel on Wednesday night and the fans there told me that although the band had entered the hotel about 6 o'clock, at about 10 o´clock, no one had exited. I did go back after the concert, but it was really late. Apparently, after a concert or event at that stadium, the officials usually close the metro and everyone has to find their own way home. Great system! Finally found a taxi that brought me back into town. Anyway, no sightings, but okay. I did get to meet them on the previous Sunday. I just keep thinking that I might never get to see them again and, well, you know....
Mexico City if a wonderfully impressive place, so full of history, so lively, the people have all been so friendly, open and helpful! Will try to post more soon, but want the internet-verse to know that Bibi has loved it here. The concert was great, but Mexico City has been even better! Thanks, Angus, for giving me the idea to visit!
