MINNEAPOLIS – The sight of Marshall amps stacked three high and more than a dozen across the back of a stadium stage can mean only one thing: AC/DC is back.
Taking the stage for their first U.S. nonfestival performance since 2016 with a guttural roar in the form of “If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It),” the quintet accelerated through two hours of sweat-inducing, fist-thrusting rawk in support of 2020’s “Power Up” album.
There wasn’t anything flashy about the stage at U.S. Bank Stadium on April 10, the first of 13 shows the band will play this spring, because there doesn’t need to be.
A trio of video screens (and panels on the side for those with an obstructed view), a wall of lights and occasional lasers were the only necessities to complement the focal points of the show – the duck-walking Angus Young and the wild-eyed king of gesticulation, Brian Johnson.
