November 23, 2015, 8 years ago
A new timelapse video shows crews getting busy with the mammoth job of dismantling the huge stage following AC/DC’s blistering set in front of more than 50,000 people at the Adelaide Oval on Saturday night - and preparing the ground for this Friday’s historic day-night Test between Australia and New Zealand.
AC/DC will ride on down the highway to the next stop on their Rock or Bust tour, in Perth on Friday night. Check out the video at this location.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, on November 19th at the Palais Theatre in St Kilda, Melbourne, AC/DC were inducted into The Age Music Victoria Hall of Fame. Music Victoria provides advocacy on behalf of the music industry, celebrates, promotes and actively supports the development of Victoria music.
In a statement, the band's lead guitarist and Malcolm's brother, Angus Young, said it was "an absolute honour" to be recognised in the 10th year of the Hall of Fame. "Victoria has a special place in our hearts, especially the early years of the band," he said. "Thank you for the induction into The Age Music Victoria Hall of Fame."
Music Victoria chief executive Patrick Donovan, who presented Mr Albert with AC/DC's award, said the band became "a sensation on Ripponlea-based Countdown as soon as the show exploded colourfully onto national TV" and soon launched themselves on the world.
"Two of the world's best axemen, Angus on lead and Malcolm on rhythm, forging some of the biggest, baddest riffs we'll ever know," Donovan said. "They moved to Melbourne, sharing a rental house in Landsdowne Road, St Kilda where they jammed and practised, played blues records and wrote songs through the day and night. The Age and Music Victoria welcome you to our Hall of Fame."
