sounds amazing

Except for Brian's voice  :roll:

you can see he was having an off day on those rehearsals, but I take it you're not a Brian Johnson fan anyway.

I'm not a Brian Johnson fan.  Which isn't to say I'm dismissing Back in Black or everything they've done for the last 30-odd years!  But when you see the old clips of Bon Scott the guy had so much presence..... whereas Brian just stomps around looking like a character from the Lord of the Rings (Ralph Bakshi version), screeching.  He's not exactly a weak link, but AC/DC live is very much the Angus Young show, and I doubt it was so much like that in the '70s.

I know he's supposed to be a super nice down to earth bloke, nothing against him personally.

Brian's voice was great on on Back In Black. On later albums it sounds like the charging freight train that is AC/DC took it's toll on Brian's voice.

On Stiff Upper Lip Brian's voice is alot better. There are a couple of songs on that album on wich Brian really carries and pushes the song. His voice is even better on Black Ice. Almost like Back In Black but 30 years older ofcourse. During the Black Ice tour he really worked the crowd and had some really good interaction with Angus.
