Why if it were in Vegas would it be a better deal? I am sorry but this is the reason most bands do not come here anymore. Them coming here actually saved alot of people the money of having to travel to another "larger city" to see them. I wonder how many dollars are coming in from out of town and I am not talking about Las Cruces.(Study please El Paso Times?) When we went to see Tom Waits (a much smaller show in comparison I know but just as monumental) I met people from all over the U.S. and it made me feel great about our town. Maybe it takes something like this to show the managers of other large acts that El Paso can and will support them just like the other big cities do. And BTW you are correct about the show that they put on here being the exact same show as all the others. I just heard that there is a loyal group of followers currently petitioning the band to change up the set list because they are following them from show to show and there is no change up. So I am not disagreeing with you totally. I just think if we want to get the great acts here we have to pay just like the other cities do.

"El Paso AC/DC Town" como maman. What these bunch of sheep need to do is get better educated and fix their local government. Not give away their minimum salary away. Spend money and time on your children no en pendejadas.

The first time AC/DC played here Bon Scott carried Malcolm Young on his shoulders while Malcolm wailed on his mahogany SG. Wireless technology was still pretty new, and Bon carried Malcolm from the back of the coliseum, through the crowd on the floor, with more than a few beefy roadies clearing a path... It was awesome!

You are totally right, I was there, Sunday, Sept.16, 1979. Ticket price:$7.00 (still have the stub). I had just turned 17 and actually chained myself to the front stage barricade with a bicycle chain I sneaked in around my waist so I wouldn't lose my front row spot. Bon still is the best frontman in hard rock's history. Most definitely my top rock concert ever. Long live Bon!!! RIP, Feb.19.1980....Brian who?...AC/DC has been releasing the same record for the last 25+ years. Total respect for the Young Bros., no question, but Bon's unique lyrics and delivery are unmatched to this day. Who made who?
