The Fly on the Wall Tour was a concert tour by Australian hard rock band AC/DC, in support of their tenth studio album Fly on the Wall, which was released on 28 June 1985.
Background
The tour was split into two legs, an American leg starting on 2 September 1985 in Binghamton, New York and a European leg ending on 16 February 1986 in Copenhagen, Denmark. The tour was marked by protests from some groups who claimed AC/DC's music was connected to the Night Stalker murders,[1] which resulted in the Costa Mesa show on the North American leg being cancelled, after another murder was reported by a man wearing a hat with the band's name on it.Шаблон:Sfn Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force was the opening act on this tour.[2]
Reception
Pete Bishop from the Pittsburgh Press who attended the Pittsburgh concert, opened his review with a headline, suggesting that the band could be losing their charge. He noted on the differences between the concert and the other in 1983, detailing that cannons were not fired before performing "For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)", nor did Angus moon the audience or ride on a roadie's shoulders through the audience - as well as noting the low attendance of 7,065 fans compared to the 12,284 fans that attended in 1983. He also criticized the vocals of Johnson, who said couldn't hit the highest note on "You Shook Me All Night Long". However, Bishop praised the band, noting that they radiated fun - adding that the band looked like they were having a good time on stage.[3]
Jerry Spangler from the Deseret News, gave the Salt Lake City performance a positive review, opening that the band delivered a one-two punch alongside the opening act Yngwie Malmsteen. He praised Angus Young's performance, whom Spangler stated had delivered a first-class party-time rock show at ear-splitting decibels as the band performed new songs from the album Fly on the Wall. He noted on the audience who were dancing and cheering, stating that they were not disappointed - loving every minute of the energy-packed show. With the band starting off with a sizzling performance, Spangler also noted on the band milking the crowd for its worth, performing old and new songs to satisfy the metal-hungry crowd.[4]
