The European leg of the Black Ice World Tour may have ended, but tales from Tuesday night's gig at Punchestown Racetrack in Dublin are still reverberating throughout the messageboards. None was more captivating than this review courtesy of declan in his thread "ac/dc storm through Punchestown!!"

"after about 4 hours on a bus only to have to walk about 4 miles, i made it to punchestown for acdc. i was then battered and bruised by what can only be described as the best crowd iv ever seen, as i write this iv no use of my middle finger(its broke due to human pyramids) my foot is badly sprained, iv a mark of a shoe print and bruise on my bicep(also due to human pyramids), iv several bruises else where on my body for unknown reasons. im pretty broke as i had to pay over 100euro to get home. Was it worth it?? IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN BETTER!!! watching angus young's solo in the pissing rain, with thousands of dc fans all around, was the best moment anyone could have hoped for, the man is a legend and words cant do justice for his talent, add to that a great show including a super opening video, followed by amazing songs such as war machine, thunder, you shook me, the jack, hell aint a bad place to be, back in black, hells bells and many more, including rosie and her lovely boobs!! this was a show to end all shows!!

AC/DC!!

WE SALUTE YOU!!!"  

Thanks for the spot-on review, declan! Not bad for a first post here on ACDC.com eh?  

declan's concert review wasn't the only Acca write-up of note from this past week. Sunday Mail Columnist Billy Sloan scored a hell of an interview with Angus following the Copenhagen show, and the article can be found here. For a sample, try this passage about what happens after a band is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame:  

"That's an accolade not given to just anybody," [Angus] said. "I had my award lying in a corner in the house when a visiting neighbour spotted it. I tried to be humble and said ' Oh, it's no great shakes'. But she replied ' Well, put it this way, you're the only one in this street who's got one'."  

For the first time in quite some time, we have no AC/DC concerts to look ahead to this coming week. But have no fear, the start of the North American leg of the Black Ice World Tour is only 25 days away. That means in just 600 short hours, the band will hit the stage at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Until then, let the countdown begin!
