AC/DC - Full Concert at Capital Centre, Landover, MD - For Those About To Rock

Venue: Capital Centre Location: Landover, Maryland, United States Date: December 20, 1981

In December 1981, AC/DC was in a pivotal moment of their career, promoting their album "For Those About to Rock We Salute You," which had been released just a month earlier, on November 23, 1981. This live recording from the Capital Centre captures the energy and enthusiasm of the band during a time of significant success following the massive acclaim of their previous album, "Highway to Hell." The "For Those About to Rock" tour was notable for its elaborate stage shows, including cannons that were fired during performances, enhancing the live experience. This period marked AC/DC's ascent in the rock hierarchy, solidifying their reputation for high-octane performances and solidifying Brian Johnson's role as the lead vocalist following Bon Scott's untimely death in 1980. The live footage showcases the band's dynamic presence and the fervent connection with their audience, emphasizing their enduring impact on the rock genre.
