Anyone going? I wasn't sure whether to, but decided to go and see Angus again and excited about it now!

Yep, I shall be making my way there later today once I've planned my journey... parking seems very limited. There doesn't appear to be much going on at the O2 tonight so I'll probably park there and get the tube.

Have a great time Viv and Madtom! At least its brightening up now. Thanks CG, still overcast where I am but our seats are under cover anyway. I hate standing at big gigs.

I thought it was the Angus Young band playing, didn't know any actual original AC/DC members were playing? Lol

Well that was fantastic! Great gig but getting out a nightmare. On the tube now about to leave Stratford. Been walking for an hour. I think Axl did well. Angus was epic as usual and all the band sounded great but I would have liked the rhythm guitar a bit higher in the mix, but it may have been just where I was? Really tempted to get tickets for Manchester. I don't want my son's to miss out on this. Colin, get a ticket again for Manchester. Really.. it was worth it for the extra songs not usuaĺly played. I loved hearing If you want blood again!

I was dubious when I first about him taking it on but I thought he did the job. Definitely wasn't awful. Well in my opinion anyway

Just got back, a bit apprehensive about Axl. Gotta say an excellent gig in a superb stadium. I agree with Viv here, as it was a nightmare getting out.

Well I thought Axl did well... no spoilt brat behaviour and they were on stage bang on time. I'm glad I went and really enjoyed the gig, as did my son. Having said that, it was the first time I had seen them so had nothing to compare to. Agree about the time it took to get out and back to the tube. It obviously wasn't sold out so imagine how much worse it could have been. Viv, I looked out for you in your AC/DC T-shirt but couldn't see you. You didn't change your mind and wear a black bikini top did you?

I loved hearing If you want blood again! I went last night and enjoyed it more than any gig by ACDC I had ever been to. Great to hear loads of old stuff that Brian just can't sing. I thought Axl was very good. I also thought Angus was on top form. It seems a life time ago that I saw Guns cover Whole lotta Rosie. I was pleased they dumped most of the recent sub par stuff. Riff raff was top draw. Last year I said never again. After this... Maybe. On a different note I found the tube pretty quick and well organised. Much better than getting out of Wembley.

I agree with you about the set list, it really was top draw stuff. I loved Rock `N` Roll Damnation and the awesome Riff Raff which are out and out classics rarely played live. 6 of us went, 4 had already seen the old line ups and we all agreed this gig was up there with them. I am so glad I was not disappointed as I took my son to his first AC/DC concert.He loved it. Hopefully it wont be his last.
