Since I only saw 2 of the shows of your top concerts I can't really mock you at all. Thanks for ranking my old fav's (and I do mean "old")AC/DC. They certainly do give you your money's worth and I guess they always will. I also would have to agree with the Architects ranking. A great live band.

The high quality and raw blues element of AC/DC's performance shocked me. That the Architects are a great live band, however, is to be expected. Thanks for checking in, CD.
