Sam Fender & Brian Johnson (AC/DC), Newcastle, 10th June 2023

[@user-lc2nj7of7t]

Respect to Brian for never holding off hard parts and leaving them to the audience and always giving it his all

[@gunlean7738]

I think we can all see his hard parts unfortunately.

[@TheCrabCoreKing]

In acdc its half step down tuning live. This is in standart. He cant do it anymor in standart

[@rocknroll1973]

​​@@TheCrabCoreKingthis isn't standard bro. It's half a step down. He is 75 after all. I think give him some time to prepare and he will be better. Like batman. Just needs prep time.

[@FrancisTheBerd]

​@@TheCrabCoreKingit is not

[@redjack1876]

What amazes me is that Brian's singing voice in AC/DC is the polar opposite of his singing voice when he was in Geordie. If I listened to a Geordie song I would never have guessed it was Brian singing. Hats off to you Brian, you are a legend.

[@thecomicstyleartist]

Brians voice has taken some damage through the years but he squizzed this out like an absolute warrior

[@MCM1965]

Did awesome! I believe he is in his mid 70s and he has hearing loss. Still rockin!!!

[@taedar]

It's going to be interesting to hear there set at the power trip festival in October. Dudes 75 years old , he was struggling through this imo.

[@SISU889]

Brian only has to be there ! Fkin legend , respect to Brian & Sam . See, you're still packing the canoe, Brian !😂

So at 54 years old absolutely love Sam and his band but totally lost it when Brian appeared my poor son was ready for getting the paramedics 🤣 it was insane the whole gig I will never forget and big shout out to Sam's guitar teacher

[@SpinsAndBottles]

Travelled across the world for this gig. I think i watch this video monthly just to relive it! \m/

Shows that no matter how 'kids' you are the kids still love 42 yr old dad rock classics (almost as much as the band like playing them)

scarily 43 years since Black in Black was released in July 1980!

One of the true best " Rock" bands left around class ...

[@robwood8843]

For me that's an incredible sight. A friend of mines dad went to school with Brian and he wrote a lovely handwritten letter about his Dad. A proper legend

[@bcarroll4532]

In all fairness to Jonna these guest singing is the killer..he's not in the zone for live stuff nor is he warmed up..with ACDC and on a schedule and regular routine he is much better. But the poor guy is 75 or so..God love this man ,what a fucking legend..🍺🍺🤘

[@RyanConnell5150]

Also the fact this is in the key that the song was on the record. AC/DC tunes down a half step live now.

[@rocknroll1973]

​@@RyanConnell5150this is half step down bro. It's not standard tuning. Back in black is also a hard af song to sing even for good vocalists.

[@chrisp.162]

​@@rocknroll1973it's in standard 😂

[@rocknroll1973]

@@chrisp.162 it's not bro. Play a guitar in standard against this version. Then tune it a half step down. I did it myself. I take it you're not a musician, let alone play a guitar. You can tell it's half a step just by listening 😂.

[@Maidendu83]

super chanteur il me manque au sein d AC/DC

[@ianhitman]

When Brian Johnson said "dream come true." He wasnt lying. Newcastle counsel knocked it on the head when he tried to play with Geordie in the 70s. And he tried for years to get St James Park to have AC/DC at the ground. So for him to finally make it to St James Park after half a century of trying is some story for him.

[@oliviaxneill]

Packing Black!

[@timothya.olmeda7299]

Brian was born with that bulge.

[@KeenX72]

I wonder how much prep Brian does for these appearances, if any. He might sound a lot better with rehearsal and warm ups.

[@tksk197033]

It'd be extremely hard to sing anything from AC/DC, let alone in your mid 70s. Most of this is probably age related, and I think it's still pretty decent given how hard it is to sing Back In Black, and also Brian's age

[@rocknroll1973]

​@@tksk197033well said.

[@tarekwayne9193]

@@tksk197033 Exactly lol...What's even more amazing is he has a low robust speaking voice! Not like Jon Anderson from Yes who has quite a high speaking voice, so his high notes are natural for him.

[@stylico]

i hope new tour ac/dc

[@alexprojects3261]

By the way, back in black has always been a serious challenge for Brian since mid 90x and today he definitely cannot sign it properly (come on, the man is 75, what do you expect?), but it is clear that he started without warming up his throat, otherwise it would be better. The second one sounds much better, and the longer he sings the better it gets. So it was not quite fair from Sam to bring the old dude on stage without warm up)

[@lucasbrown4186]

I definitely agree. A few exercises and I think he should be good for some more shows. But hearing people complain about him not sounding like he did in the 80s always baffles me. Like you said, a lot of songs off the back in black album were a challenge since even the early 90s. But he’s definitely continued sounding great and distinctive

[@alexprojects3261]

@@lucasbrown4186 Yes, and again - under-volumed mic. That is really terrible, even if his voice is definitely aging, cracking and not like before, it is at least not that quiet as we heard!

[@alexprojects3261]

For 10 min sound engineer could not volume him up? Terrible attitude
