AC/DC/Osaka, Japan 2010

Malcolm Young’s performance in Japan in 2010 was his last after nine years. The first original recording that conveys the scene is now available. What is engraved in this work is the “March 16, 2010: Kyocera Dome Osaka” performance. This is the best audience recording. They have only come to Japan four times: 1981 (4 performances), 1982 (5 performances), 2001 (3 performances), and 2010 (3 performances). First of all, let’s check the position of this work from the last 2010 schedule.・March 12th: Saitama Super Arena ・March 14th: Saitama Super Arena ・March 16th: Kyocera Dome Osaka ←★This work★ All three performances. Until now, all performances in Japan have been performed by the “Golden Five”, but Malcolm has already passed away. 2010 was not only his last visit to Japan, but the Osaka performance of this work was Malcolm’s last Japan performance. This work recorded at such a memorial show is a wonderful audience recording. After all, the person who made this work a thing is Mr. “Western Japan’s Strongest Taper”, who is well known at our store. His amazing skills are put to good use. The sound is spectacular and thick, but does not hide the details, and the core that cuts through the middle is extremely thick. As expected, Kyocera Dome Osaka is known as a difficult place to make tapers cry, so it is not like a sound board, but on the contrary, it is dazzling with a sense of grit and vividness that makes you wonder, “This is a dome recording!?” The last Japanese performance of the “Golden Five” is depicted with such vivid sound. The symbol of “BLACK ICE WORLD TOUR” is “LIVE AT RIVER PLATE”, but AC/DC tends to have a fixed set, so it is a little different. Let’s compare and organize them here. Bon Scott Era (9 songs) ・High Voltage: The Jack/High Voltage (★)/T.N.T. ・Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap ・Rock Soul: Hell Ain’t a Bad Place to Be/Whole Lotta Rosie /Let There Be Rock・Highway to Hell: Shot Down in Flames／Highway to Hell Brian Johnson era (10 songs)・Back in Black: Back in Black／Hells Bells／Shoot to Thrill／You Shook Me All Night Long・Devil’s Invitation: For Those About to Rock (We Salute You) ・Razor’s Edge: Thunderstruck ・Devil’s Ice: Rock ‘n’ Roll Train/Big Jack/Black Ice/War Machine *Note: “★” marks are A song that cannot be heard on “LIVE AT RIVER PLATE”. …and it looks like this. The 50/50 balance between the Bon era and Brian era is the same as “LIVE AT RIVER PLATE”, but “High Voltage” has been revived instead of “Dog Eat Dog”. And even more important than the set is the performance itself. There is no favoritism or cutting corners in any country in the world, but each song is the last in Japan. Of course, if the rumored restart comes true, there is a possibility that they will come back to Japan, but Malcolm is no longer there. Each and every riff is special. AC/DC brought the strongest rock and roll of all time to Japan. This is a masterpiece created by a master craftsman who has taken great pains to record the last performance in Japan by the “Golden Five” who will never return.
