That's why, from Thursday June 10 to Monday June 14, we'll be powering 87.7 Download FM to bigger and better things. Listen live to Download FM on Rock Radio More music to match the moment. More star chat sessions. More news from within and without the arena.

this needs to be recorded!!! the first soundboard bootleg of the tour
If it doesn;t get recorded I'll shoot someone,lol RECORD IT GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope that Download Festival Radio will broadcast AC/DC, already I checked this morning the internet stream and have to say it has a low bitrate so the quality isnīt that good. So hopefully some can record from 87.7 Radio. Iīd love to be at the festival, just listening to the radio made me thinking of quit everything and go there...a huge lineage. Gotta wait till Berlin...
I hope someone records the show from radio. I would probably die if someone didn't :(
Even if it is low-bit someone still record it!! And someone who liues in the area record it from the radio..this would be the 1st soundboard recording of THE BLACK ICE WORLD TOUR and 30 years of Donnington and BACK IN BLACK..
I'm gonna try doin the online version, Someone else do the local radio station for better sound quality.
So is there a way to listen to AC/DC's performance live or not? Thanks
Sounds like there's a weblink to an audio stream of the live show, fluco...
http://features.gmgradio.com/download/ There's the radio stream link^^^^^^^ What time does the show start?
I wish I lived near Donnington but I cant do anything about it. Is the online live radio going broadcast just AC/DC
Their website says 8:30-10:30, of course thats local time, I think thats 4:30-6:30 EST.
BUT YOU WONT BE LISTENING TO THE GIG, A LOT OF WAFFLE ABOUT HOW MUCH THEYRE GETTING PAID,AND ALBUM TRAX, 2038hrs GMT FTATR album track hardly worth listening to in all honesty
why create a "download festival radio" if they ain't gonna use it for live streaming... hope someone with a good recorder and mic record the show from audience
i will tell you something else, Downloads organisers and the band aint making themselves very popular with the fans who couldnt be there... "TakenFace: #ralphcam Im telling you now lads, the streaming went because ac/dc are playing., every other years has had it. This is horseshit." as the dude says every year has had streaming of video at least,this is being recorded for a DVD I bet my life on it
http://twitpic.com/1vwfzr/full here is a pic from the show
I bet the setlist is the same I guess. Or maybe not. We will have to wait for the news.
Well,they didn't sream it and I didn't record it. DAMN I watched the gig though on that shitty 60 sec. pic thing they have,on a chat room. No changes I'm afraid (that I know of)
I still wonder what that Iron Man 2 thing is they were talking about. I would so laugh when he has a lil appearence in the intro video flying above the train.
No Iron Man appearence,,,,,,,, At least that didn't happen
Ok then I guess itīs like the other shows
"as the dude says every year has had streaming of video at least,this is being recorded for a DVD I bet my life on it " That doesn't prove it's being recorded, that just proves AC/DC are being total assholes like usual lately.
"...that just proves AC/DC are being total assholes like usual lately." Yes, it must be completely AC/DC's fault for the Download festival not being streamed online this year. I'm sure the festival organizers had nothing to do with the decision. And leave it to an AC/DC FAN site to place all of the blame on the band. Ah yes, this is what I like to see. Not to mention that this is a BOOTLEGS website, devoted to providing access to free live shows that other folks paid good money to see. I guess that's just not good enough. Oh, what has the world come to?
lightningstuck: You're gonna have to get used to it. Many people on this website are still butthurt about: Iron Man 2 soundtrack, backtracks, and a non changing setlist. So AC/DC bashing is common
Yes but it's getting boring to shoot on a dead horse, or however this goes.
LOL lightningstruck, you just don't get it. If they recorded Download EVERY YEAR except this one, and AC/DC has not been letting out ANY video of this tour and you can't see the common thread, you must be an idiot. They're telling fans who want a different setlist "fuck you", and they're clinging on to every piece of footage from this tour. You don't see anything wrong with that? To get little perspective: Since AC/DC released BI in 2008, Iron Maiden have toured twice, released two DVDs from one tour, released one CD to go along with one of the tours, and have written a whole new album to be released in August. AC/DC released one new album and toured for two years but has not given us ANY live recordings from the tour or any new songs. Who is treating their fans better?
they're probably waiting till the tour is over to release any recordings.
It's still BS, they won't throw us a bone. Plenty of other bands let themselves get filmed at festivals, which end up on the internet before they're done touring or they release a DVD.
Well, they have released those short RNR Train clips..... lol
Exactly... they won't even let out a full song. WTF?
Suicidehummer, I think actually you do not get it. My earlier post was a satire on the fact that there is so much whining and complaining over the fact that there was not an "official" recording of Download available. This is a BOOTLEGS site. In fact, I believe there is already a boot available from the show but yet people still complain that it wasn't streamed. What? Do all of you suddenly have a conscience over the fact that downloading free boots from live shows is illegal? I think not. Just download the boot from Download that was posted a couple of days ago, be happy, and quit complaining.
When was the last time AC/DC ever followed what other bands do other than playing festivals?
also look at the headliners, RATM and Aerosmith, RATM played T in th Park a few years ago which was broadcast,APART from their set,and Aerosmith,well, Ģ100+ a ticket to see them at wembley! you think they want their set streamed when they can make money from it? Bottom line people,the bands get paid by the promoters who get paid by the broadasters for the right to stream,AC/DC reputedly were paid in excess of 3 million to play,what price to broadcast? Face it people if these bands continue to hit promoters with these type of fees,you wont be seeing them very often because they will pice themselves outta the market. I love my festivals and my gigs, but even Isee the logic in that argument. be well dave
lightningstruck: So you'd rather have a shitty bootleg than a soundboard recording? ruddisgod: When was the last time AC/DC treated pro shot videos of themselves like some big secret? If you can't see how this tour is unlike any other they've done (and not in a good way), then you must be blind.
suicide: you tell me. I haven't been a AC/DC fan on any tour besides this one. So if you can tell me how AC/DC usually goes about doing proshot videos then thanks. As for this tour, besides a non changing setlist, no interviews with the band since the tour started, and they're doing more festivals than usual. Other than that I dont know. If that makes me blind, fine.
I thought the bootleg was pretty decent, and I'm sure there are several other folks who agree. By the way, thanks daclarob for posting that boot. And to back up his comment...exactly. We simply do not know why Download was not streamed this year. It could have something to do with AC/DC. It could have something to do with some of the other bands playing the festival. Or it could simply have been a decision by the festival organizers to not stream it this year. I just thought that an AC/DC fan site such as this would give the band the benefit of the doubt. But no, a lot of people here were so quick to bash and blame the band, and I think that is really sad.
Well,I actually read an article that sated the reason why it wasn't streamed... "AC/DC's managment saw no way to profit from a live stream so they decided not to have one this year" So it's not really the band's fault directly,but still it would have been nice to had a Soundboard from this tour.
Suicide: I didn't want to get involved in this, but I have to say I don't think there treating pro-shot videos any differently. Can you show me a tour where they were releasing lots of pro-shot vids?????
Look at all the proshot videos from every other tour on Plug Me In. Those weren't new to us when PMI was released. They had already let them out. Look at the Rock In Rio '85 videos, or the Donnington '88 videos. They let those out, so why do they decide this year that they won't allow any pro shot footage out except these shitty 1 minute long videos of RNR Train? lightningstruck: We're quick to blame the band because it was obviously their fault. They're being assholes about releasing pro shot footage on this tour, and this is the first time Donnington was not streamed. Can you not put two and two together?
Were they released during the Stiff Upper Lip Tour or after?
Do we know what year Donigton was streamed? I'm sure about Iron Maiden(2008?) cuz a friend busted my balls to come here and watch it.
Suicide, you say that it was "obviously their fault." Do you KNOW for a fact that the reason Download wasn't streamed is due solely to AC/DC? My guess is no. However, I do see your logic. Download was streamed every year until this year, which happened to coincide with AC/DC's first appearance at the festival. However, it also was Aerosmith's first appearance. Same with Rage Against the Machine, Them Crooked Vultures, Stone Temple Pilots, and a number of other bands. Is it not possible that they had a say in the decision not to stream the festival? Again, I just thought fans of the band would give them the benefit of the doubt (since nobody KNOWS for sure) instead of bashing them like most people here have done.
Suicide: Did they let those videos (the ones on PMI) out during the tours, or after???
Good point Jailbreakes, I don't know. But I'll tell you what, throughout their longest tour ever, you'd think they'd throw us a fuckin' bone, no? Well I'm tired of getting blue balls waiting for a proshot vid from this tour. That's why I've moved on to Maiden, who BTW just released a proshot video of their new song off an unreleased album only 5 or so shows into the pre-new album tour. My sig says it all...
AC/DC Still #1 For Me... The Music Never Fails Bringing Me Back To'em
Yeah, I've started to get into Maiden a lot recently too, even though AC/DC is still No.1, Maiden wouldn't be far behind (I'm actually listing to Revelations right now, lol). My favorite song at the moment is actually one of their songs as well (see my sig)
Revelations. Good song. Almost AC/DC-like in the simplicity of the verse riff. My favorite Maiden stuff tends to be newer stuff like Brighter Than a Thousand Suns and Dance Of Death, but To Tame a Land is a great classic song.
I prefer their earlier stuff over the newer stuff, "The Number Of The Beast", "Powerslave", "Somewhere In Time", & "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" are all classic albums although "A Matter Of Life And Death" was a pretty good album.
isn't it obvious that they want the new live dvd to be a perfect representation of the tour?? the stiff upper lip dvd was ok...not perfect.... but imagine having over 100 shows to choose from, not just a few shows from the same venue.... imagine the final product : songs flowing seamlessly, even having the abiltiy to mix the intro from madrid and using the lead break from sydney and the viewer can't even see or hear the difference.... think "If you want blood" but on a new dvd. now, i hear that the Donnington DVD had touched up audio, which in my opinion, is a good thing, as i recall the original VHS not being anywhere as exciting as the DVD release, visually and audio... AC/DC as we all know are a very consistent live band, but as we all know through watching and listening to (almost raw) live recordings from the past 30 years, the weakest link can be brian, who has a bloody hard job, and it cuts the mustard 98% of the time at the gig, but in a live recording situation, all of the creaks, cracks and coughs stick out like a sore thumb!!! they did a great job getting most of the audio up to scratch with Plug Me In, (reverb can be a singers best friend)... but imagine having the luxury of being able to record a whole tour with 128 tracks of audio and 50 million bloody cameras!!!!! cant wait to get the new DVD!!!! no one ever said that AC/DC weren't a bunch of old capitalists!!! this tour would have made some serious money for all involved.. and for that. i salute them.
A dvd like Iron Maidens 'Flight 666' would be awesome, every song from a different venue.
Yeah shithead,but we don't want a "fixed" DVD. If we want perfect recordings we can go listen to the albums. The whole point of a "LIVE" DVD is to represent the band LIVE.Which means every cough,missed note, or mistake is to be expected.They make the shows real,and unique. Like Whole Lotta Rosie in Let there Be Rock:The Movie when Angus's guitar breaks a string,they keep playing while he swaps for another guitar.They could have easily used audio/video from another '79 show to fix it,but they didn't.One of my favorite AC/DC moments. Brian's not always the weakest link either,he's Spot on more often than not actually.Especially this tour,he sounds better at the end than he did in the beginning,which is usually the opposite whent they tour. The "raw" bootleg recordings kill most of the official LIVE stuff anyday. Booze,Blues and Tattoos - Nashville Tennessee 1978 She's Got Balls - Townson Maryland 1979 Get It Up Hammersmith - Hammersmith Odean London 1982 Rock In Rio - Rio 1985 Flies On The Soundboard - Austin/Dallas Texas 1985 Oslo Miami 1988 Highway To Melbourne - Melbourne Australia 1988 Pheonix Arizona 2000 There are some fantastic ones out right now that I'd take over the Donington audio any day
Flick, you took the words right outta my mouth.
ok, i agree with you on all the points there, those bootlegs ARE fuckn great!!!!! BUT!!!!!!!!!! if you look at it from a listeners point of view, sometimes it aint all that, having said that, i recently bought a vinyl copy of Booze Blues and Tattoos for a mate of mine cos i told him he needs to hear this record many times!!!!! He loves it too.. do you reckon the band would love it though??? a band like AC/DC wouldn't have released any of these bootlegs officially, because of many reasons... they are great for the fans to listen to!!! but this shit has got to be the new videos for the jukebox in the pub and the video shows!!! it's all about bringing ACDC into the next decade, like the Live album did in the 90's... the big BUT is, my comments were directed at suicidehummer who has just bitched and bitched about the tour... i was just firing back at him from another musicians point of view ( i like talking from all orifices!) and as for fixing the live DVD audio... you dont even know that they're doing it!!! thats the reason for fixing it.... trust me, it isn't just about re recording stuff in the studio, these days you can do so much stuff to live audio and recordings and you wouldn't even notice!!!!!
...speaking as a capitalist and marketing expert myself hahaha, come on guys, can't you see my point here????? theres gunna be a "Black Ice" rock band edition and all that shit, there will be the one hour TV specials (no time for fuckups there kids) you watch... i was sooo impressed by the marketing machine which was the black ice tour, both shows i seen i was impressed by the scale of it all just as much as i was impressed by the music, imagine how much $$$ they would have made for each show!!!! i wouldn't even earn that in my lifetime...
Wow,you're completely wrong dude. Ymust not be a huge fan if you prefer the fixed audio. WE DO KNOW they're doing it...thanks to the bootleg's from Donington '91. Angus screwed on Whole Lotta Rosie, Brian's voice is heard when the microphone over his head,no where close to his mouth during Back In Black and You know as much as I dowhen it comes to "new releases" I call Bull Shit. "Black Ice Rockband" hahahahahahahahahahaha
Look At This For An Example Of How Sony Fucked It Up, It might not have been so bad if they'd at least done it right...
hahaha yeah thats nice... it's all about the big bucks man!!!
WTF... this guy is not right in the head, Flick.
And being at both black ice and stiff tour i can say that even though the Stiff tour cost was lower the stage show was so much better. Statue + smoke,Cannons sound BIG,BIG,BIG,H2H flames warming my f%cking face(not just a big screen with flames),Golden Rain,Strip show on a pre-created song not the Jack...I cannot even compare.Apart from the band and the songs and the performance and the SOUND.I have heard the best sound of any show i have ever been in my life in Stiff tour.And for everyone says that blah blah it does not matter about the setlist(here we go again :P ) i can say.I SAW RIDE ON LIVE!!!!!!Nuf said.
Yeah, having The Jack as the strip song is such a cop out. Well said Sap.
