We are taking our three boys to see AC/DC in Sydney this year. I want them to experience a proper band before they disappear. They are already hooked on acca dacca so it will be unreal. They are 6,9 and 13.
It's a shame pub bands area thing of the past.
AC/DC have certainly become a multi generational band. Its well reported about the variety in the crowds at their concerts. One small thing you will appreciate (your kids ears will appreciate) is how audio engineering has changed the volume of AC/DC and other touring acts. Modern engineers use 'line arrays' or vertical columns of suspended speakers positioned around a stadium to fill it with equal parts of audio, it helps clean up the sound challenges and makes touring cheaper. The old days were all about a flat wall of speakers on either side of the stage with massive amounts of amplification for projection. The bigger the stack, the louder the concert. I heard the difference between audio styles from AC/DC ~1996 (Ballbreaker) to AC/DC ~2010 (Black Ice). In 1996 my ears couldn't hear for 2 days afterwards, in 2010 i could hold a conversation after the concert without issue. It was still loud and spectacular, but i think also a bit smarter with the sound improvements.
