AC/DC

[moesman]

Es ist mir zwar ein Rätsel, wie man den Schinken innerhalb von zwei Tagen lesen kann, aber ich habe es nun auch geschafft. 

Für alle Interessierten hier mein Review.

Tolles Review, Mindi!

Jetzt will ich das Buch auch haben... Bin zwar nicht mehr der Riesenfan, aber ohne AC/DC würd ich jetzt wahrscheinlich Shakira hören Wahrscheinlich neben PJ die wichtigste Band meines Lebens!

[tirol]

wird auch langsam zeit.... - eine AC/DC tour, dass ich das noch erleben darf *juhu*

[Charles Everett Decker]

...dumdumdidum....

Die AC/DC Maschinerie wird anscheinend in Gang gesetzt: lt. Plattenfirma wird im September eine Doppel Live DVD mit Material aus der Bon- und Brian Ära erscheinen und es wird ein neues Album für Januar 2008 anvisiert mit einer Tour im folgenden Sommer. Da brat mir mal einer nen Storch ! 

Buch schon mal das Hotel!!! Die neue Platte ist sowieso irrelevant; völlig egal, wie schlecht die ist.   

Achso der  passt ja auch...

Sämtliche Smileys (ausser den freudensmileys) können in diesem Zusammenhang ausgeblendet werden: die Info kommt von einem Sony Mitarbeiter !!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Es wird vermutet, dass auf der für September angekündigten DVD u.a. das Konzert im Cirkus Krone in München aus dem Jahr 2003 enthalten sein soll. Das wäre traumhaft........ich war da, unvergessliches Konzert !

Brian Johnson & Cliff Williams spielen demnächst ein paar Shows mit Steve Luongo & Mark Hitt:

AC/DC bassist Cliff Williams and former John Entwistle Band drummer Steve Luongo met at a hurricane relief concert produced by the John Entwistle Foundation in 2005.
The year that followed found Cliff and Steve jamming together when the opportunity arose. In 2007 they were joined in the studio by guitar virtuoso Mark Hitt and AC/DC vocalist
Brian Johnson for a bit of fun. In the months that followed this group of musicians did what all musicians do. They wrote and recorded music together. In the spring of 2007 Cliff and Brian agreed to lend their talents to a fund raising tour dubbed Classic Rock Cares. The proceeds from the tour will go to the foundation.s primary mission of free music education and instruments for underprivileged children through the public library system. It was decided that in addition to their AC/DC hits Cliff and Brian would perform some new material as well. Chain Gang On The Road is a sample of what people can expect in addition to the AC/DC hits. There was never a plan for this music and the only plann currently is to enjoy performing it while helping those in need.

Hier gibt es den neuen Song - klingt klasse !

Hier das ofizielle press release:

Press Release Source: Columbia Records

Columbia Records Announces the Release Of AC/DC's "Plug Me In", the Ultimate Career-Spanning DVD Boxed Set of Live Performances & More from the World's Most Electrifying Rock & Roll Band.

AC/DC's "Plug Me In" 5 Hours of Rare & Collectible High Voltage Rock & Roll on 2 DVDs, Available Tuesday, October 16

Deluxe 'Plug Me In - Collector's Edition' -- Including 3 DVDs Containing over 7 Hours of Rare & Unreleased Material Along With a Treasure Trove of Facsimile Reproductions of Vintage Memorabilia -- Also Available Tuesday, October 16

NEW YORK, Aug. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Columbia Records will release Plug Me In -- the ultimate career-spanning DVD box set of live performances, interviews and more from AC/DC, the world's most electrifying rock & roll band -- on Tuesday, October 16.

The first AC/DC release since the band came to Columbia Records earlier this year, the AC/DC Plug Me In DVD collection brings together for the very first time an astonishing five hours of definitive live concert and television performances -- many of them previously unavailable -- chronicling the on- going career (now in its fourth decade!) of a groundbreaking rock & roll powerhouse whose music transcends the test of time.

"AC/DC has delivered the most dynamic rock & roll music in the world," said Steve Barnett, Chairman, Columbia Records. "Columbia is honored to be releasing this definitive career-spanning retrospective featuring many of AC/DC's finest filmed performances."

Disc One of the AC/DC Plug Me In DVD collection begins with a performance of "High Voltage" performed in October 1975 on Australia's "King of Pop Awards" show. The first disc of Plug Me In is devoted to the band's formative years (1975-1979) with original lead singer, the late Bon Scott capturing the group in its full early glory with more than 20 performances including rare black & white video footage of the notorious St. Albans High School concert on March 3, 1976; the very first UK television appearance in July 1976; pristine live full-color stereo concert performances from Glasgow and Essex University in 1978; and three songs -- including the very first public performance of "Highway To Hell" -- from Netherlands television in 1979. Bonus material on Disc One includes a Bon Scott interview from November 1977; extraordinary band interviews from 1976; and four songs recorded live in Nice on December 15, 1979, one of Bon Scott's last concerts with the band before his tragic death on February 19, 1980.

Disc Two of the AC/DC Plug Me In DVD collection covers the band's second great epoch: the Brian Johnson era which began with the release of "Back In Black" in 1980 and continues to this day. In addition to more than 20 performances drawn from three decades of concerts around the world -- including an extremely rare Japanese television appearance from February 1981, blistering 80s and 90s sets from Detroit to Moscow, incredible footage from 1996's "Ballbreaker" tour (including the "Beavis & Butthead" intro), and 21st century barnburners in Paris, Munich, and Toronto -- Plug Me In includes a fantastic array of bonus material including the AC/DC Donnington interview on the "Old Grey Whistle Test" (August 1984) and AC/DC's in-concert performance of "Rock Me Baby" with the Rolling Stones.

A deluxe collector's edition of Plug Me In -- containing a third DVD of 21 additional rare performances spanning both the Bon Scot and Brian Johnson eras as well as a treasure trove of facsimile reproductions of authentic AC/DC memorabilia -- will also be available for a limited time beginning Tuesday, October 16.

The AC/DC Plug Me In DVD box set is both a Holy Grail for aficionados of AC/DC as well as an ideal and comprehensive introduction to the music and history of a pioneering band that continues to define the electrifying possibilities of rock & roll.

Formed in Sydney, Australia in 1973 by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young (still the most formidable electric guitar team in rock), AC/DC released its first album, "High Voltage," in 1975. The group has gone on to sell nearly 70 million albums in the U.S. alone, making AC/DC one of the five best-selling bands in American music history. The "Back In Black" album has achieved RIAA "Double Diamond" status, for sales in excess of 21 million copies in the United States, and is the U.S.'s fifth largest-selling album ever. AC/DC was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2003.

......alles in allem zum grössten Teil schon bekannte, bisher aber ofiziell nicht veröffentlichte Aufnahmen. Ich hoffe, man kann sich wenigstens dazu durchringen unter den ganzen Clips auch ein komplettes Konzert anzubieten.

So soll das gute Stück aussehen - boah, ich freu mir nen Ast ab ! 

[Mindcrime]

Oha! Das sieht sehr edel aus! 

Weisst du, ob und wann das auch bei uns erscheint? Und auch über Columbia Records?    Die laufen ja in Deutschland über Sony, aber bei denen ist offiziell noch nichts angekündigt...

[ApfelGeld]

Bei TicketsPerPost kann man sich im Frühbucher-Service für die Benachrichtigung zum AC/DC-VVK-Start anmelden - eigentlich nichts Besonderes, doch da steht 2007 - daraus schließe ich, daß sie die Karten für die 2008-Tour auf jeden Fall noch vor Weihnachten raushauen wollen. Damit wird 2007 noch teurer.... 

EDIT:
...außerdem stehen da für den VVK-Start '07 noch Kiss, Van Halen und The Cure....

@ApfelGeld: für den Fall der Fälle bin ich finanziell vorbereitet - die Tour kann kommen !

Ich höre gerade Powerage, das oft vergessene Klassikeralbum zwischen LTBR und HTH. Es enthält zwar keine Radiohits, ist aber trotzdem eines der besten AC/DC Alben. Toller Sound und kein schwacher Song. Riff Raff und Sin City sind meine persönlichsten Favs. Gone Shootin' ist auch klasse. Insgesamt eines meiner Lieblings-AC/DC-Alben, neben Let there be Rock und Back in Black.

Für die USA ist der 16. Oktober als VÖ termin angegeben, in Europa evtl. einen Tag davor. Columbia Records / Sony ist richtig..... 

Ich hab mich bei denen jetzt mal durchgefragt. Voraussichtlicher VÖ-Termin für beide Editionen (2 DVD und 3 DVD) in Deutschland soll demnach der 26.10. sein.
