AC DC

In February 1982, AC/DC was riding high on the waves of their monumental success. Just months before this live performance at the Cow Palace, they released 'For Those About to Rock We Salute You' in November 1981. This album was a direct follow-up to the iconic 'Back in Black,' which had solidified their status as rock legends. The live recording captures the raw energy and electric atmosphere true to the band’s style, showcasing tracks like 'Hells Bells' and 'Shoot to Thrill.' Interestingly, this concert featured the return of drummer Phil Rudd, adding to the band's dynamic presence onstage. It's fascinating to think about how tightly woven their sound was with Rudd's heavy drumming—defining not just this performance but their very essence as a powerhouse rock band.
