On October 16, 1982, AC/DC electrified the Hammersmith Odeon in London during a pivotal moment in their career, just after the release of their iconic album, 'For Those About to Rock We Salute You.' This album, featuring the thunderous title track, solidified AC/DC's status as rock legends, following the massive success of 'Highway to Hell.' The live performance showcased their high-energy anthems, with lead singer Brian Johnson captivating the crowd, a role he embraced after the tragic loss of Bon Scott.
