AC DC

In 1996, AC/DC was riding high on the success of their album "Ballbreaker," released just a year earlier. This live recording from VH1, captured on May 7, showcases the band’s electrifying performance style, a hallmark of their reputation. It's interesting to note that "Ballbreaker" was the first album featuring drummer Chris Slade, who played a pivotal role in revitalizing their sound after the 1994 tour. With a signature blend of hard rock and rebellious energy, AC/DC was firmly entrenched in the global music scene during this period, even as they were transitioning towards new musical horizons. The performance of "Gone Shootin'" offers a nice contrast to their more famous anthems, highlighting their ability to explore deeper grooves while maintaining their quintessential rock vibe. This era was a testament to AC/DC's resilience and relentless creativity, proving they could still captivate audiences around the world.
