Once again, a big Thank You to my friend Kurt Schwarz for the excellent pictures. He’s so close to the stage that my ears are ringing just looking at them, especially the AC/DC ones.

This was AC/DC’s first concert since September of 2016. Glad to see Brian Johnson back with the band after having hearing issues a few years back.

As for Judas Priest, I’ve been lucky to see them in a festival setting before. Great live band! As the years go by, I have a lot more respect and admiration for them. As a matter of fact, they’re on my turntable right now! I can hardly wait for their new album, Invisible Shield, to drop next March. I grabbed their last album, autographed, and love it!

A full recap and the complete setlists from the show can be found here.

  Guitarist Richie Faulkner and Rob Halford of Judas Priest rockin' the PowerTrip crowd.

  If you've never seen Richie Faulkner live, change that. He's a master of the ax!

  I think we all know what's about to happen here. I'll let you make your own jokes about the "loud, simulated bangs"! LOL

  Brian Johnson and Angus Young lead AC/DC through their ripping set at PowerTrip.

  Good to see the legend Angus Young back onstage. It's been too long.

  The voice of Brian Johnson is so original and unique. Glad he's back on the stage.

  When I saw AC/DC with Axl Rose at the Palace years ago, I was surprised by how much Angus WAS the show. The guy is unreal!

  We all know what song they were playing here. Thanks for reading...I salute you!
