LIVE IN ATHENS 28.5.09
this is from the very first AC/DC's concert in Athens,GR(GREASE). recorded from the middle of the O.A.K.A. stadium from a friend o' mine. AC/DC's soundcheck(by the band) its from my mobile phone onfront the stage(round 17:15 a.m.) as I entered into the stadium early in the morning (06:30 p.m.) the soundcheck: 1.http://www.mediafire.com/?11v7m83co7nw18x 2.http://www.mediafire.com/?t2l54gq3ug60vw6 3.http://www.mediafire.com/?2ub318zo02uz5h6 4.http://www.mediafire.com/?k3vgi38u25n67uv 5.http://www.mediafire.com/?h9di8hvi6r1g2dr (I lost "Downpayment Blues" and "Ballbreaker") the concert(incomplete): 1.http://www.mediafire.com/?bs575iukielp79y 2.http://www.mediafire.com/?ci5c5lnmof8bapm3 *4.http://www.mediafire.com/?t0j61hhblll0ylt 5.http://www.mediafire.com/?1st2p4663v9yn60 6.http://www.mediafire.com/?xpaxkevc03tyxpk 7.http://www.mediafire.com/?856096fksufn79m 8.http://www.mediafire.com/?tbsgvws3bj26nyl 9.http://www.mediafire.com/?381ot3y6cplu66k *link 3 (back in black) its only 20 secs.. when I find the whole concert I WILL UPLOADE FOR SURE! hope you like it. SALUTE YOU!
(I lost "Downpayment Blues" and "Ballbreaker") the concert(incomplete) Yeah me too.I was in the toilet when they played Downpayment and i was giving my fist (as a present) to the face of a Sony representative backstage when they did Ballbreaker.Pity. And it's Greece not GREASE or whatever the fuck.
The Athens gig was never released as a complete recording as far as I know. I have a boot of this with most of the songs, but 'Ballbreaker' and 'Down Payment Blues' are missing along with Let There Be Rock and some of the other songs are incomplete and either cut at the beginning or end. There are YT videos of the songs, but its a shame the complete concert was not recorded ;(
Thanks for the soundcheck links there Send4man ;)
the band played "Downpayment Blues" & "Ballbreaker" on the soundcheck session not on the concert. SALUTE YOU! :)
my bad guys,sorry... (I lost "Downpayment Blues" and "Ballbreaker")goes for the soundcheck.sorry again! I know Sap, :) I used to call it "grease" just for fun :) @Sapator: αφου ξερεις πως για να κανεις κατι θελεις "μεσο" ή λαδωμα...και το grease ψιλοκολλαει χαχα((δεν ξερω πως γραφεται τουτο στα εγγλεζικα...) :)
Hoooooold on a second, Are you saying the actual band played Ballbreaker and Down Payment Blues in a soundcheck like on the Black Ice tour?! Maybe I've read it wrong, and you're saying the songs weren't recorded? fuck that sucks lol.....
Oh,this was probably just the guitar techs....not the actual band. Damns it. Still cool none the less, I like the one where they did Walk All Over You, I forget which date,but it's on youtube.
What, these aren't played by the band? Since when do guitar techs play another band's instruments or songs? I never saw this before and need to be enlightened more ;) Can someone verify if these soundchecks were played by the band or not, maybe Send4man knows. I was going to add these to my boot of this show, but if they are not by the band themselves I won't bother.
I'm not saying the band don't do soundchecks themselves anymore,but as far as I can tell on the Black Ice tour it appears they just show up right when the gig starts then leave. The guitar/drum techs ect. quite frequently would jam with the instruments,before the gigs. To songs the band didn't play as well, (Hard As A Rock/Walk all over You) Examples: (some have the embedding disabled) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlagAx-diIY Hard As A Rock/Walk All Over You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwHEVZ3Sniw&feature=related
fixed so you can reply here, or keep the string going on pt 2
These are awesome Send4theman,thanks again. Ignore the other thread lol......
"a) ALL THE BANDS,IN EVERY CONCERT,IN EVERY GIG DO SOUNDCHECKS ITSELF! b) the soundcheck is form the band aka... ...AC/DC! c) the boyos came out for the soundcheck(round and they started with "Hell Ain't...",my mobile phone's battery was too low for the two last soundcheck's songs "Downpayment.." and "Ballbreaker" also...when they finished soundcheck,Malcolm came at the edge of the stage and threw two or three of his picks infrontof us." (taken from other thread by Send4theman now closed) Thanks Send4man, I pretty much thought the band are the ones who do the soundchecks since every concert I was at, soundchecks were done by the band as you stated. Great to have hear these and knowing you were there and can confirm this is also indeed a plus to clear things up ;)
No problem Shakedown and nitroangus23 :) :) but,guys come on...there's no need for those war-words :) we're here for the greatest rock n roll band in universe...wich name is..... p.s. as soon as I can I will upload the videos from this concert as well :) :) :) SALUTE YOU AND CHEERS! :)
^ Very well said bro and I apologize for "hijacking" your other thread which had to be closed, just was defending and replying to my posts, that's all. Regardless, I was out of place and sorry for the trouble and I agree that "we're here for the greatest rock n roll band in universe" ;) Cheers ,)
cheers buddy :) I have no problem with hijacking :) :) SALUTE YOU!
Btw i have an hour footage give or take from the show with excellent sound but i promised Brian that those bullshits he did will end up with me not publishing material from 2008+ era.So take it with Brian. Something Irrelevant.Nitroangus is flick?
Something Irrelevant.Nitroangus is flick? __________________________________________________________ Yes sap, lol....had nate change it for me a week or so ago, to finally end all confusions. Sometimes people would send me messages on youtube or on here cursing at me for stealing links/or bootlegs from flickofthethunderdeeds or nitroangus23 (depending on which site) When in reality it was myself both times,with a different screen name. Just thought I'd stop that.Now I get cursed at for good reasons, (being lazy,or busy, or whatever) haha. but any who, can't please everyone :) ____________________________________________
Aha, gotcha. I was also thinking of asking Nate to change my name to MissHappyHippo1811 but i had second thoughts about the numeric part so i canceled.
Haha, I see what you did there, But seriously, can we call you that from now on? :)
why cancel this name MissHappyHippo1811......sapator
@NitroAngus you can if you like but i would appreciate it if not because in order to answer posts proclaim me as MissHappyHippo1811 i have to wear high heels always, so i could fall and hurt myself :( @musicdreams 1811 didn't feet to my taste and it's so difficult to pick a right , elusive number. Ahh the problems. :P But feel free to acquire it if you like it so much ;)
