AC/DC Alumni Mark Evans, Simon Wright To Team Up For Bon Scott Tribute Show
March 29, 2011, 13 years ago
Australia's Undercover.fm has reported that AC/DC’s founding bass play Mark Evans and one-time drummer Simon Wright will team up for a Bon Scott Tribute Show to be announced soon.
ACDCfans.net reports that Wright and Evans will perform with the band RAISE THE FLAG at the Bon Scott Tribute Shows to be announced for Fremantle, Western Australia and Queensland’s Cold Coast.
As previously reported, another new trailer is available for AC/DC's Live At River Plate, a definitive live concert DVD documenting the band’s massive Black Ice World Tour, which will be available for purchase on Tuesday, May 10th. The new trailer features the band's classic, 'Thunderstruck'.
Shot in December of 2009, Live At River Plate marks AC/DC’s triumphant return to Buenos Aires where nearly 200,000 fans, and 3 sold-out shows, welcomed the band back after a 13 year absence from Argentina. This stunning live footage of AC/DC underscores what Argentina’s Pagina 12 newspaper reported by saying “no one is on the same level when it comes to pure and clear Rock ‘n Roll.”
Directed by David Mallet and produced by Rocky Oldham, AC/DC Live At River Plate was shot with 32 cameras entirely in HD. AC/DC Live At River Plate features 19 songs (110 minutes) as well as ‘behind the scenes’ footage of this massive production coming together among the excitement of anxious fans (see below for full track listing).
AC/DC Live At River Plate will be available on DVD, Blu-Ray and Ltd Edition collector’s edition with exclusive t-shirt. Additionally the DVD contains a bonus feature titled The Fan, The Roadie, The Guitar Tech & The Meat, features interviews with AC/DC, their crew and fans among the excitement of the shows and the city of Buenos Aires.
AC/DC Live At River Plate captures the intensity and power of the band’s critically acclaimed world tour in support of their most recent album Black Ice, which debuted at #1 in 31 countries. The Black Ice World tour took AC/DC on a 20 month trek around the globe playing to over 5 million fans in 108 cities in over 28 countries. The Black Ice World Tour earned AC/DC a Pollstar Award for Major Tour of the Year in 2010.
