Default So I'm Missing AC/DC Tonight :(

I just got a call from a buddy of mine who's at the concert in Moncton this evening.

Litterally just hung up the phone. I'm folding laundry and they're rocking out.

It's not that I'm the biggest AC/DC fan, I'm a fan for sure, but not die hard. I'd love to have seen them but alas money and time didn't allow for it.

But the phone call

Made special for me

They're currently playing as I type this

Shot Down in Flames!

one of the best concert bands in the world. I've seen them 5 times now. I'm hoping for a miracle (didn't get tickets this time around) but I may have to deal with the fact that I will miss them this tour.

He's just admitting that he doesn't have a pair.

DOH!
You shoulda showed up...

A security breach at Thursday night's AC/DC concert in Moncton allowed several hundred fans to see the legendary Australian rock band for free.

...

RCMP officers at the concert estimated several hundred people were trying to climb over the fence to get into the show without purchasing a ticket.

As police and concert organizers saw the fence jumping as a safety hazard, security guards eventually stepped away from the ticket gate and the few hundred people left in the queue got into the concert late, but for free.


Crashed it? Damn near recked it!

It wasn't even the cash for me it was just the time. Been so busy it just wasn't in the cards.

They have been having a pretty good run in Moncton with summer concerts, Rolling Stones, Eagles, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, some big country show.

I will be interested to see who they come up with for next year.
