Gracias, Mexico! Angus and Company were incredible!

Sunday, November 12, a night to go down in history! AC/DC (and for me, Angus in particular) rocked us all at the Foro Sol. 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 he 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 AC/DC'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 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 seemed to forget some lyrics, just 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, 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. In You Shook Me All Night Long, Brian said ¨Mexican thighs¨which was kind of cool, I thought. The crowd loved it! A bit on the down side, the catwalk, way too long. I thought the stadium set up was not kind to the viewers in the stands either. We were just too far away from the stage. I had binoculars, but really. In Paris I had noted some questionable camera work--blurry, focused on nothing sometimes--but whoever it is--completely got the girl´s boob shot during The Jack. Will it be in the concert dvd? Inquiring minds want to know. Another unexpected quirk: apparently, after an event at that stadium, the officials close the metro and everyone has to find their own way home. Great system! Finally found a taxi that brought me back into town. No band sightings, but okay. I did get to meet them on the previous Sunday, will absolutely never forget meeting them, especially Angus. I just keep thinking that I might never get to see them in concert again and, well, you know....Bibi isn't ready for the dream to be over!

Mexico was wonderful! The history, the people were so friendly, too much to see and experience in five days!
