LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES SEPTEMBER 5, 2019- IT WAS ON THIS DATE IN 1980 AC/DC PLAYED THE COW PALACE IN DALY CITY AS PART OF THE “BACK IN BLACK” TOUR. AC/DC’S COMEBACK WAS JUST STARTING TO PICK UP STEAM. THE GROUP WAS TOURING WITH BRIAN JOHNSON FOR THE FIRST TIME, WHO REPLACED BON SCOTT AFTER BON’S DEATH IN FEBRUARY. THE TOUR COVERED 139 DATES AND SAW THE NEW LINE-UP ON THE ROAD FROM JUNE 29TH,1980 TO FEBRUARY 28 1981. AC/DC TRANSPORTED THEIR OWN ONE-TON “HELL’S BELL” ON THE ROAD, WHICH WAS LOWERED TO THE STAGE EACH RINGING ALL THE WAY FROM THE RAFTERS. JOHNSON (WITH A HAMMER IN HAND) WOULD CRANK OUT SEVERAL HITS ON THE BELL AS THE BAND KICKED OFF THE CONCERT.
