More than three decades into their career, AC/DC visited Dallas city American Airlines Center. They played classics such as: “Black and Black and Stay with me;” like electricity itself provided the world with an essential source of power and energy. This energy electrified American Airlines Center on January 23 as AC/DC plugged in their "Black Ice World Tour" into Dallas.
AC/DC's mammoth power chord roar became one of the most influential hard rock sounds of the '70s. In its own way, it was a reaction against the pompous art rock and lumbering arena rock of the early '70s. AC/DC's rock was minimalist -- no matter how huge and bludgeoning the guitar chords were, there was a clear sense of space and restraint. Combined with Bon Scott's larynx-shredding vocals, the band spawned countless imitators over the next two decades. AC/DC were formed in 1973 in Australia by guitarist Malcolm Young after his band, the Velvet Underground, collapsed (Young's band has no relation to the seminal American group).
With his younger brother Angus as lead guitarist, the band played some gigs around Sydney. Angus was only 15 years old at the time and his sister suggested that he should wear his school uniform on-stage; the look became the band's visual trademark. While still in Sydney, the original lineup featuring singer Dave Evans cut a single called "Can I Sit Next to You," with ex-Easybeats Harry Vanda and George Young (Malcolm and Angus' older brother) producing.
This worldwide tour - the band's first since 2001 - promotes "Black Ice", AC/DC latest studio album. The album's first single, "Rock 'N' Roll Train" was released to radio on August 28 and immediately went to No. 1 at Rock Radio. People drove from Oklahoma and from Houston so they cloud enjoy their favorite band. “It was an excellent show,” sated Erik Dipp from Mesquite TX. Tickets price started at: $85.00
