Section 110 Row B, Seat 2 (if looking directly at the stage, to the
upper left)
Walked over to the AC/DC store at Times Square and none of the ****rts

that all the CDs and what has been released/re-released on vinyl is
available also.

D. $35 Rock N Roll Train
E. $35 NYC Arrivals and Departures
F. $35 Black Ice tour
G. $35 Band front and tour dates

for $25?
$2 Black Ice sticker

Two AC/DC boxer shorts: black red AC/DC all over, and cannon
Other side of main entrance
$125 Buttoned (denim?) black ****rt
Perhaps because I entered a little after 7 p.m., that's why the t-
****rt sellers weren't doing good business since the lines weren't long
at all.
Big laugh from my seat before show from the fla****ng advertisement of
upcoming acts says the following:
Simply Red
Only East Coast show
Greatest Hits World Tour
March 15
My view: what hits???
$8 for a Bud or Bud Light if bought from one of the roving beer
vendors, but $9.25 (or was it $9.75) for a 22-oz. Bass Ale from one of
the pubs located at the Garden... and why is it Madison Square Garden
and not Madison Circular Garden?
The Answer are not the answer at least in my opinion and resemble a
young Sebastian Bach and group who are better.
Show started around 8:55-9 p.m.
1, Rock N Roll Train
2. Hell Ain't a Bad Place To Be
3. Back in Black
4. Big Jack -- received well
5. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
6. Thunderstruck
7. Black Ice -- not received well
8. The Jack
9. Hells Bells
10. Shoot to Thrill -- almost thought they were going to play Bad Boy
Boogie
11. War Machine
12. Anything Goes -- I thought this was performed well though a
stripper/dancer would have been nice, maybe dressed as Angus then
stripping to her underclothing or swimming bikini
13. You Shook Me All Night Long
14. T.N.T.
15. Whole Lotta Rosie
16. Let There Be Rock
17. Highway to Hell
18. For Those About To Rock We Salute You
Ended about 10:37-ish
Well worth seeing. Guitar for Whole Lotta Rosie and Let There Be Rock
didn't sound in tune or as usually good.
There's Gonna Be Some Rockin'...
P.S. Oh no, the following:
Study: Paying more for alcohol saves lives
By Madison Park (CNN) -- Higher taxes on alcohol can make a night out
more expensive but could save lives, according to a study released
Thursday.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/11/13/alcohol.tax.deaths/?iref=mpstoryview
Oh no, as if getting a drink at the marked-up minimum of $3 (if you're
lucky, only $3) for a beer at a bar or restaurant or at a venue such
as Madison Square Garden at $8 for a 12-oz beer wasn't outrageous
enough. I looked for deals in NYC for alcohol (rum, whiskey) and
didn't find any. A liter bottle of Bacardi rum was selling for about
$20 which in D.C. a 1.75-liter bottle at a place (Calvert Woodley)
near the National Zoo sells for about the same price.
With the economy doing poorly, is raising the price of alcohol
really going to help? I suspect more people will brew their own...
