AC/DC makes long-awaited Cleveland return with stadium concert
Tens of thousands of people will take the highway to hell toward Huntington Bank Field Wednesday. Why it matters: AC/DC's stadium gig is one of the biggest local concerts of the summer and the first time the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band has played Cleveland in nearly a decade. State of play: It's the final North American stop on the AC/DC "Power Up Tour." Taylor Momsen's hard rock band The Pretty Reckless will serve as the opening act. The intrigue: Tour reviews have praised AC/DC's energy, which is saying something for a band whose members are all past retirement age. The setlist stretches 21 songs, starting with "If You Want Blood (You've Got It)" and closing out with "For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)" followed by fireworks. Flashback: Despite hailing from Australia, AC/DC has made Cleveland a regular stop over the decades, starting with club shows in the late 1970s. Other memorable concerts include the 1979 World Series of Rock and back-to-back nights at Richfield Coliseum in 1988. AC/DC last played Cleveland on the "Rock or Bust World Tour" at Rocket Arena in 2016 with Axl Rose as the fill-in frontman.

AC/DC can still hit the big notes
Even so, Laug, Chaney and Stevie Young were strictly background, the latter two only leaving their spots flanking the drum kit to walk mid-stage to their microphones for the occasional group chant before retreating once again. Johnson and Angus Young, on the other hand, had full reign of the stage, each with their trademark apparel: the singer playfully slumping in his workingman's cap and the guitarist duckwalking and skittering in his schoolboy uniform (albeit one a little more bespoke these days). Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up There were indications this many decades down the road that AC/DC was slowing down, but only indications. Angus Young's prismatic opening riff of 'Thunderstruck' was a hair sluggish – the song picked up noticeably after the pause announcing the arrival of the song's title – and the guitarist's madman stage moves were doled out in smaller, discrete chunks. And Johnson was largely garbled and incomprehensible, both during the songs and between them. Advertisement And it didn't matter. The singer was audible enough to fill his role and the guitarist was impish enough to still throw off sparks. The sound itself was resilient enough for 'Back In Black' to hit like a hammer, 'Whole Lotta Rosie' to swing like a wrecking ball and the guitars themselves to sound rude in the gleefully self-deprecating 'Shot Down In Flames.' Even the newest songs, 2020's 'Demon Fire' and 'Shot In The Dark,' did exactly what AC/DC songs need to do. And Angus Young still played with fire. 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap' was mean and nasty (in both senses of the term), and the rangy whirlwind lead of 'Riff Raff' was a good match with the headlong propulsion of the rhythm. And 'Let There Be Rock' ended the set with a 25-minute showcase for the guitarist, who burned as the band played a one-note riff behind him before bouncing short chord bursts off the back of the stadium and launching into an extended solo above the drums. The rest of the band came back for an explosive 'T.N.T.,' followed by 'For Those About To Rock (We Salute You).' That's when the cannons came out.
