Here’s what some reviewers are saying about AC/DC’s Black Ice Tour:

Alexander Choman, Scranton Times-Tribune:

• “[AC/DC] made it their business to rip the place apart.”
• “Resounding versions of ‘Back In Black,’ ‘Highway to Hell,’ ‘Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap’ and ‘For Those About To Rock’ are probably still rebounding around the Wachovia Thunder Dome.”
• “AC/DC’s high-decibel wattage and fist-pumping anthems made this a perfect night for the band that was still in the process of punching its ticket to the Hall of Fame on its last trip through Northeast Pennsylvania.”

Abigail Everdell, Spin Magazine:

• “Angus Young still rules the stage like it was built for his pale knees alone.”
• “The [audiences’] bellowing sing-along made Black Ice tracks almost indistinguishable from older [AC/DC] hits.”
• “Reveling in old favorites, the band performed ‘Back in Black,’ ‘Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap,’ ‘Hells Bells,’ and ‘You Shook Me All Night Long,’ to the constant, screaming thrill of the audience.”

Matt Manochio, USA Today:

• “[AC/DC] is tight and loud; the floor is shaking. Crushing waves of sound boom from the walls of speakers on and overhanging the stage.”
• “Johnson's vocal cords have got to be held together by dental floss at this point, but he sounds great, shrieking ‘Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap’ and the stadium anthem ‘Thunderstruck.’”
• “A circular platform juts out at the end and elevates Angus into the air so everyone in the building can see him wield his ax.”

Brad Patton, The Times Leader:

• “Angus Young then rose up from beneath the stage with power chords a-blazing as [AC/DC] kicked into “Highway To Hell.”
• “The capacity crowd loved every minute of it.”
• “The show literally ended with a bang.”
