AC/DC performs Highway To Hell at Oakland Coliseum Stadium Concert

Venue: Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Location: Oakland, California, United States Date: July 21, 1979

On July 21, 1979, AC/DC delivered a fiery performance at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, aligned with their burgeoning iconic status. This live recording unfolded just after the release of their milestone album, 'Highway to Hell,' which debuted in the same year and marked a pivotal point in their career. 'Highway to Hell' was the first album to feature Brian Johnson as the lead vocalist after Bon Scott's tragic passing, giving the band a fresh yet powerful sound. Interestingly, this album became one of their best-selling works, solidifying their reputation as rock legends. The electrifying energy at the Coliseum, coupled with the anthem-like title track, encapsulates a defining moment for AC/DC—it's not just a concert but a showcase of their resilience and unstoppable drive in the face of change. Fans still revel in that high-octane performance that set the stage for their enduring legacy.
