A friend of Dia's got us backstage passes to the AC/DC at Stade de France.
A shot of the crowd coming in.
Gabe and I backstage, at this point i've already wet myself in excitement. Hey, I thought black was supposed to be slimming.
This is so old hat to Gabe that he fell asleep during this picture.
The view from stage right.
Behind the backdrop.
Yes, that's a backstage pass in my hand.
Yeah
The control room/area.
Starting the show, that lever brings the instruments online.
This is Angus Young's guitar area, they are in the case to the left.
Under the stage.
This is the view from the see thru section of the stage, Gabe shoots Angus thru here at one point in the show. That's the head of the singer for the opening band.
This is Malcolm Young's area.
A few of his guitars, all Gretch.
His guitar tech. This dude was hilarious and gave us a handful of guitar picks.
This is a shot of the singer for the Answer, taken from on stage.
Another shot from on stage, this is the bell that will lower down later and rock.
The train, it has devil horns.
The crowd.
Part of the cannons, the barrel are being filled with pyro by the pyro dude behind us.
And here i am hydrating in the ridiculously expensive floor seat area.
Dia is ready to rock.
These light up AC/DC devil horns were 10 euro a pop and every third person was wearing them, that adds up quick.
This lady had toilet paper in both ears. The dude with the devil horns and 6 euro beer will soon take off his shirt and simulate anal sex with his buddies.
The rocking begins.
Yes, Angus always wears the school boy outfit or at least until he does a strip tease.
Gabe getting the shot.
Pro
Rocking
rolling
Gabe probably looking for a girl flashing but alas it never happened. This was the only rock n roll cliche that I didn't witness.
Probably singing about sex in subtle terms.
The train.
Gabe takes a break.
Who knew the French could rock like this, I saw just as many mullets and sleeveless jean jackets as I would have in Jersey. These dudes stuffed their shirts into the front of their pants and pretended to hump each other for several songs. At one point blue pants got on green pants shoulders with a full beer and showered everyone around him while rocking from on high.
Do you see AC/DC hat with his hand in the air? He was waaaaay into it.
See the very drunk shirtless dude? His friend brought him to the medics because he had gotten hurt but he didn't want to stop the rocking.
Security finally hauled him into the medical area, he re emerged not long after obviously having severe back pain and barely able to walk but headed right back to the front of the crowd, hardcore.
Giant lit up devil horns on top of the stage.
The denim lady is not feeling it.
Dia is feeling it. She would not flash.
Angus soloing on a stage that had risen into the air from the middle of the crowd while smoke billows and confetti is launched.
This makes Dia scream.
I find all of this surreal but incredible awesome. Not pictured is the crew shirt Gabe hooked me up with.
