AC/DC Live at River Plate.

Not your favorite Bon Scott song, but the whole two hour show, complements the band.

I saw AC/DC some time ago, but it wasn't this big. 40,000 rabid fans fist pumping to one of the best live acts in rock & roll.
This was one night of three sold out shows at River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires Argentina in 2009 on their "Black Ice World Tour". AC/DC is scheduled to return next month on their Power Up Tour.

There's a list of bands that have persevered the decades still delivering the energy and flash but they're leaving us one by one.

This isn't a music video. It's a first class movie production.

And I didn't reference it. Thanks for clarifying that.

The place holds around 50,000 I think, but I didn't count the field. I guess Argentina has no laws on festival seating like we do since The Who at Cincinnati. It was really packed up front.

It's said that the quickest way to learn something isn't to search it, but to post the wrong answer and someone will immediately reply with the correct one. I think it's called Collins Law.

AC/DC Had 3 concerts there in 2009. all 3 concerts were estimated to have a total of 200,000 people attending. Somewhere between 65,000 and 70,000 people for each concert.
