The great Rock party has over one hundred thousand guests. The festive invasion of the RCF Arena in Reggio by Ac/Dc will be remembered as one of the highest moments of this long summer of music. Just over two hours of music for the legendary Australian band formed by Angus Youngwho according to tradition goes on stage dressed as a schoolboy in brown velvet with his guitar slung over his shoulder, Brian Johnsonwith his inseparable cap on his head, Stevie Young on rhythm guitar, Chris Chaney to the bottom and Matt Laug to the battery. It starts with If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It) and soon after comes the masterpiece that it is Back in Black, title track of the 1980 album of the same name. Meanwhile, the evening envelops the Arena which seems invaded by one hundred thousand fireflies that change color from white to red. The stage looks like a spaceship and Angus and Brian pilot it on a unique space journey. There were many in the audience who grew up with him Ac/Dc but also several children who discovered them because some songs became part of soundtracks, and I mention everyone Spider-Man far From Home.
A few words, the first, in Italian, of the Ac/Dc I am: “After Bologna and Imola we are in Reggio”. The setlist is the same, except for a few details, on all dates of the tour. In Reggio Emilia he was surprised and excited by the move towards the end of You Shook Me All Night Long, sung in unison by everyone. For whom does the bell toll? For each of those present in Hells Bells. There is no need to warm up the audience to wait for theHighway To Hellthe highway to hell that arrives at the end of the concert, before that journey comes, among others, Shoot to Thrill, Sin City and the majestic Rock’n’Roll Train. The last piece of “regulation time” is Let There Be Rock followed by Angus Young’s crazy guitar solo: a beautiful moment of rock that elevated him onto a platform so that even those who were far away could see him, while the screens lingered on his hands playing with the strings of the instrument. Before stopping he asked several times, placing his hands on his ears, and obtained the recognition of the public. A short pause and then the two encores: it’s about TNT And For Those about Rock (We Salute You) accompanied by fireworks. They too are very rock’n’roll, they too, like the whole evening, full of High Voltage emotional and emotional.
