Springsteen is one of those shows that should be on your list of acts to see. Here he is in Perth, opening last night with "Highway to Hell" in Bon Scott's hometown with a blistering 3-guitar front.

OK, Scott was actually from Fremantle down the road a piece. There is a statue of him in town.

    Woo hoo - go Bruce! I caught a Wrecking Ball tour show and was totally worn out after 3 hours. Just watching!

    Here is Scott with the band playing the original. He died a few month after the song's release. They considered disbanding after he died, but Scott's parents asked them to go on. Later they created "Back in Black" as a tribute to Scott. At one point it was selling 10,000 units a day.
