    AC/DC fans

    The AC/DC faithful flocked in their tens of thousands to worship at the cathedral of rock last night.

    Preaching to more than 70,000 of the converted at ANZ Stadium, AC/DC extolled the virtues of a life lived hard and fast in the name of rock 'n' roll.

    With a knowing wink and their wicked sense of humour, Australia's greatest stadium band thrilled the fans with a concert they are not likely to witness again.

    Every single member of the crowd would take away a memory stamped into their musical DNA forever.

    Did you go to the show? Tell us what you thought of it below

    Perhaps it was the naughty perennial school boy Angus Young teasing them as he peeled off his green velvet blazer, his tie, his white shirt and then slowly lowered his shorts to wiggle his AC/DC boxer-shorted bottom at them.

    Maybe it was frontman Brian Johnson playing conductor, whipping the crowd to pump the air with their fists and scream their lungs out.

    Equally impressive was his sprint down the 75m Angus Walk to leap into the air and grab the Hells Bell'scord to ring it throughout the stadium.

    Many would shake their heads at the searing display of proficiency and musicality of rhythm section Cliff Williams and Phil Rudd who were as solid as a bank vault.

    And then others played air guitar along with the unforgettable riffs which have made the man in the driver's seat, Malcolm Young, one of the most revered rhythm guitarists of all time.

    And it wasn't just about the music. The Black Ice tour sets a new benchmark for a rock 'n' roll visual sensory overload.

    The stage roof was flanked by two giant red blinking devil's horn caps which seemed to synchronise with the miniature versions adorning thousands of heads in the audience.

    The giant rock 'n' roll train which announced AC/DC's arrival on stage shortly before 9pm was certainly a prop hard to top.

    And then of course there was Rosie - the giant sexy inflatable - who has been making her appearance felt at the band's concerts for more than two decades.

    Of course if the band was to play every fan's setlist, the show would go for days.

    As it was they drew heavily from their latest record Black Ice, including the song War Machine which won them their first Grammy a few weeks ago.

    But they also delivered a liberal dose of the classics including Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, TNT, You Shook Me All Night Long, High Voltage and an epic version of Let There Be Rock, which featured Angus spinning around on a hydraulic platform which rose above the crowd at the end of the catwalk.

    During High Voltage the band paid tribute to their late frontman Bon Scot on the 30th anniversary of his death by flashing iconic images of him on the video screen.

    You have two more chances to see AC/DC at ANZ Stadium on Saturday and Monday with limited tickets still available.
