All the songs on the Power Up tour

On the band’s first North American tour since singer Brian Johnson, 77, was forced to leave the road in 2016 because of severe hearing loss, the quintet powered up, around and through US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis at the April 10 kickoff.

The tour named for the 2020 “Power Up” album – the band’s first since AC/DC guitarist and co-founder Malcolm Young died in 2017 – loped through a round of European dates from May to August last year, but that hardly diminished the quintet’s stamina.

Angus Young, still sporting his schoolboy uniform of shorts, tie, crew socks and black shoes, extracted roars from the sold-out stadium crowd every time he blistered his fingers during solos on classic rock mainstays (“Back in Black,” “Highway to Hell”) and album cuts (“Have a Drink on Me,” “Riff Raff”) alike. Johnson, meanwhile, has a well-preserved shriek to accompany his wild-eyed delivery and appeared gleeful as he waved his arms and shimmied a hip through “Whole Lotta Rosie” and “You Shook Me All Night Long.”

The band – Johnson, Young, rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, drummer Matt Laug and bassist Chris Chaney – thundered through a 21-song set rife with fist-pumping hits.
