Last month AC/DC legend Angus Young played with Guns N’ Roses at Coachella for their huge reunion gig. That also came the same time that it was announced that the GNR frontman would become the frontman for AC/DC after their lead singer, Brian Johnson, was forced out of performing or face the threat of going permanently deaf. The first appearance for Axl as the lead singer of AC/DC came on Saturday night in Portugal.
This was the first European show of AC/DC’s Rock or Bust tour. From all accounts, Axl was not tardy and he performed a 22-song, two-hour concert at the Passeio Maritimo de Algés in Lisbon, Portugal.
Here is the setlist from Axl’s first AC/DC concert:
