That seemed to be the period when Brian Johnson's voice was strongest, with Malcolm Young on rhythm guitar and backing vocals, and when Angus Young could still (almost effortlessly) duckwalk across the stage whilst playing the guitar solos, making the live shows an amazing mix of musical brilliance and showmanship.
Although I haven't seen any recent live performances, I'd be pleasantly surprised if they could – as Angus approaches his 70th birthday – still match that energy and deliver a live performance that would be value for money for those attending the Wembley gigs. |
They'll definitely deliver value for money. That period you mention was probably AC/DC's actual worst years. Wikipedia even has a chapter on those years titled
Line-up changes and commercial decline (1983–1990)
The next chapters are titled
Popularity regained (1990–1999) and
Popularity confirmed (1999–2008).
