Hey ACDCfan28,

I've been away awhile but I'm sure this is one I can answer well enough for you.  The Ballbreaker rehearsals were caught on tapes that largely were silence and nonsense chatter.  However the "rehearsals" that did wind up surfacing have come to be known as the Nutcrackers. So in addiction to alternate takes on songs like Burnin' Alive and The Honey Roll, they contain other jams from the rehearsals and a few other goodies.  There are five volumes so far, so search them up and enjoy, because they are very much a treat!

Hey guys,

I always thought what's available on nutcrackers came from the studio sessions before the recording of Ballbreaker while there's rumoured that audio/video of the following exists (rehearsal sessions before tour kickoff in 1996; including Big Gun)

Unfortunately this hasn't surfaced yet, I'm still positive for the future.

BTW if you don't have the nutcrackers bootlegs yet, try to get them as soon as possible. Really cool and interesting stuff on these

Oh wow. 

Thanks pumpkin1991.  I never knew about that but wow geez that's a nice rare setlist.  Im aware of sessions like the one where Bon played drums on two of the BIB tracks (not recorded) and have heard the shoddy WMW tour sessions.  But I would really love to hear this list played.  Damn.  

And ACDCfan28, try this link below.  Im not registered so Im not sure if the link is broken but Im pretty sure its the show you want.  The links on guitars101 are dead...

Thanks for the link, but I can`t download it. If you have the show can you upload it either to media fire or mega?

A bunch of 2009 shows, including Toronto, here on this Guitar 101 forums thread.  I just clicked on the Toronto one and it's working (filefactory link):
