AC/DC broke a seven-year hiatus last night at the Power Trip festival, while Judas Priest welcomed an ailing member during its encore.
lead singer Brian Johnson quit performing in 2016 while struggling with hearing loss, many feared the band’s long run might have come to an abrupt end. Thankfully, last night at Power Trip at Empire Polo Field in Indio, Ca., Johnson and his bandmates obliterated any doubts about their ongoing viability at their first show in more than seven years, reclaiming their rightful place as one of the greatest hard rock bands of all time.
Unsurprisingly, when guitarist Angus Young struck the opening lick of “You Shook Me All Night Long,” the multi-generational crowd united to sing along, and Johnson smiled like a hero whose superpower had been returned to him. Flames shot above the band during “Highway to Hell,” while the 68-year-old Young undressed down to shorts and an open white shirt while strutting across the stage during “Whole Lotta Rosie.
When Halford joined the band on stage as “The Hellion” transitioned into “Electric Eye,” he walked somewhat haltingly with a cane to the front of the drum set. He remained there for the first two minutes while delivering his trademark high-register vocals, but in a move reminiscent of Willy Wonka, he then burst forward unencumbered and proceeded to prowl the stage for nearly two hours.
