Favorite Tour Opening Song
I sifted through the concert history a little bit and went through my own memory to figure out most of the songs AC/DC has opened their shows with over the years and came up with a list and my all time favorite. Which ones do you guys like as a show opener. Here's the show opening songs as far as I know. She's Got Balls (Couple of Times 1974/75) Live Wire (The Band's Common Opener 1975-1980) Jailbreak (Occasionally in 1976/77) Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (Occasionally 1976/77 sometimes with Love Song intro.) Let There Be Rock (Some shows in 1977) Riff Raff (Some shows in 1978) Highway to Hell (Some shows in Summer 1979) Hells Bells (Back in Black/For Those About to Rock opener) Guns For Hire (FOTS opener) Fly on the Wall (FOTW opener) Who Made Who (WMW and occasional BUYV opener) Heatseeker (Common BUYV opener) Thunderstruck (TE opener) Back in Black (Ballbreaker opener) You Shook Me All Night Long (Opened SUL shows up until summer 2001 European outdoors leg) Stiff Upper Lip (2001 European Outdoors leg opener) Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be (2003 shows opener) Rock N Roll Train (Black Ice opener thus far) My favorite is Guns For Hire overall.
Pretty much all of them are great openers. My favourites are Riff Raff, Guns For Hire, Fly On The Wall, Heatseeker, Thunderstruck, and RNR Train.
Thunderstruck and Hells Bells for me all the way!!!!!!!!
Guns for hire is amazing, Who made who is good and thunderstruck is good with the rising drum kit.
Dirty Deeds, Highway to Hell, and Let There Be Rock are all surprises to me. I had no idea those were openers at one time. I can't imagine them ever opening a concert with those songs, they don't really fit as openers. My favorite is a tie: Thunderstruck/Who Made Who
best: thunderstruck weakest: Fly on the wall (still one of my favorites though)
Live Wire, no contest with Bon. Probably Thunderstruck with Beano
my favorites are Stiff Upper Lip and Rock N Roll Train
