September 20 – Philadelphia, PA – Wells Fargo Center
On September 20th, the mighty AC/DC will return to play their 20th show in Philadelphia, PA. They first played back in June 15, 1979 at the Tower Theatre as part of their ‘If You Want Blood’ tour.
A local fan recollects, “The most memorable thing was the jackass three rows in back of me that threw a sparkler onto the stage but landed in the drapes and caught fire. Angus just kept playing. Flames got bigger and bigger… Angus kept playing. Fireman walked on stage in full fire protection and sprayed fire extinguisher that cover the entire stage and the first three rows of the crowd… and Angus kept playing!!! The set list from that explosive night was similiar to the following:
Live Wire
