It was at Pittsburgh in the mid '90s. I found out Angus sweats profusely and tends to fling it in all directions as he runs from one side of the stage to the other. On one hand, showering in his sweat was disgusting, but on the other hand I knew we were getting his best show. They never turned down the voltage.

I had a similar experience with Bon Jovi at an outdoor amp. He went through three shirts. I only had one, but he was busting it in 90 degree heat for 2 hours.

Unfortunately it was after Bond Scott's death, wish I could have seen them with him. They were still amazing with the new guy and thoroughly enjoyed. IMO they were just a fraction less intense than when Scott was with them from the videos I've seen, but still totally worth the price of admission and a totally rocking out great show. Don't think they do any other kind?

Guess we'll never know

But that dude was a shooting star for SURE.

Sounds a lot like the version on IYWBYGI, one of the best live rock albums EVAH. Been spinning it since 1980.
