Essay about AC This concert took place at the Pyramid Arena in Memphis Tennessee. The main performance was by AC/DC and the band Gutted Snake opened for them. The members of AC/DC are Malcolm Young on guitar, Angus Young on guitar, Brian Johnson on vocals, Cliff Williams on bass, and Phil Rudd on drums. ACDC was formed in 1973 by the brothers Malcolm and Angus Young. Malcolm Young decided he wanted to form a more pure rock and roll band. With that being said he left his former band the Velvet Underground to form ACDC (ACDC). ACDC was first known in Australia were Angus Young(lead guitar), Malcolm Young(rhythm guitar), Dave Evans(vocals), Larry Van Kriedt(bass), and Collin Burgess( drums). Now the band is made up of Malcolm Young (rhythm guitar), Angus Young (lead guitar), Brian Johnson (vocals), Cliff Williams (bass), and Phil Rudd (drums). Throughout the years they have replaced many members, but the two brothers never left. Malcolm and Angus Young have been there since the very beginning. They have honestly dedicated their life to the rock and roll world and it has paid off. ACDC is still around going on tours and I don’t think they’ll be breaking up any time soon. Gutted Snake opened at 7:30 PM and played until 8:00 PM. There was a remission, and AC/DC started at 8:30. They continued playing until around 11:00 PM. AC/DC played songs from all of their records. The bulk of the songs that they performed were: Give It Up, Goodbye & Good Riddance to bad luck, Got You By the Balls, Guns For Hire, Hail Caesar, Hard As A Rock, Have a drink on me, Heat seeker, This House Is On Fire, This Means War, Thunderstruck, Touch Too Much, Two's Up, Up To My Neck In You, Walk All Over You, What Do You Do For Money Honey, What's Next To The Moon, Whiskey On The Rocks, Who Made Who, Whole Lotta Rosie, You Ain't Got A Hold On Me, You Shook Me, Back In Black, Back In Business, Hells Bells, Highway To Hell, Kicked In The Teeth, and Let's Make It. These were all played back-to-back without many breaks. But AC/DC does have Hits. They played them all: “Hells Bells,” “Back in Black,” “You Shook Me All Night Long,” “T.N.T.”, “Highway to Hell,” “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.” And they’re all bangers. Chances are that you know all the words to these even if you don’t qualify as an AC/DC person. They’re unavoidable if you’ve ever stepped out in public and alcohol was served. For about two hours at the Polo Fields on Friday night, it felt like every song was Last Call. The pyramid is a nice sized arena and is a good housing for concerts. About half of the audience was your average 30-40 year old, and the other half were the redneck, leather wearing, dope smoking type. They played “Hells Bells” at 11:19 PM. They played a bunch of songs before and after, but I’m reasonably certain this was peak AC/DC. I’m not sure if you’ve ever hung out with any baseball players, but there’s no probably no demographic on earth with a larger percentage of AC/DC guys than your average relief pitcher. On my college baseball team, there was a guy named Joe Love. Joe Love was about 5’5”, built like a bowling ball, and had the lack of romantic success that made his name a total waste of a superb name. He didn’t throw very hard, nor was he very intimidating, but he had a lot of “moxie.” He was in a fraternity and all the brothers made fun of him a lot, but there was always something endearing about him. Nothing spectacular happened until AC/DC came to the stage. At this point fireworks went off and a big brass color blow up of the lead singer appeared on stage. Two of the b...

Sure, there are AC/DC girls. You didn’t have to look very hard at Coachella to find those eschewing glowstickery and headbands in favor of teased hair and faded rock band shirts featuring the familiar voltage of the Australian caveman legends. AC/DC made their reputation in a vanished world. If you’re not down for a Karaoke sing-a-long about STD infections (“The Jack”), complete with poker metaphor, you probably aren’t cut from the same crushed velvet shorts as Angus Young. Title Length Color Rating Essay on Alter Bridge Concert Report - On Monday, April 21, 2014, along with my friend JJJJ and my Mom, we went to see Alter Bridge perform in concert at Rams Head Live down in the Marketplace in Baltimore, Maryland. Direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) are the are two types of electric current. The electrons in direct current flow in one direction. The current produced by a battery is direct current. The electrons in alternating current flow in one direction, then in the opposite direction— over and over again. The current supplied to your home by the local utility is alternating current. The current flow alternates 120 times per second in the United States. In Europe it alternates 100 times per second. The doors opened at 7 o’clock and the concert started at 8 p.m. with the band Monster Truck as the opening act. We went and ate dinner before going to the concert, but when we entered the venue, Rams Head was packed. There’s something undeniable about AC/DC. They do what they do about as well as any band to ever do what they do. They’re Rawk Gods playing to an era that has none. The lead singer is 67years old, wears a newsboy cap, and looks like he just stepped out of a AARP hair metal adaptation of Oliver Twist. Their long-time rhythm guitarist had to leave the band due to dementia. This is not your dad’s AC/DC or even your older bro’s. So when they took the main stage before every Coachella-goer who hasn’t rolling at the Sahara Tent, it was a bizarre phenomenon. The show was sold out and there were people ranging from ages fifteen to mid-fifties. There were both men and women in attendance, but I noticed there were more men than women....

Or the distinguished Wolfgang Mozart, a prolific and influential composer of the Classical era, who composed over 600 works; one of which is Concerto in A-major for Clarinet and Orchestra, k. 622. These two musical masterpieces were performed at the UC Davis Symphony Orchestra, Mondavi Center, under the name of Spain 2012 on March 11, 2012; along with prelude “L’apres-midi d’un faune” by Claude Debussy. When I was in junior high, my classmates all liked Led Zeppelin. But I loved AC/DC. I got turned on to them when I heard them play "Problem Child" on The Midnight Special. Like Zeppelin, they were rooted in American R&B, but AC/DC took it to a minimal extreme that had never been heard before. Of course, I didn't know that back then. I only knew that they sounded better than any other band. ...

The concert took place at Deer Creek the weekend after class started, so it was perfect timing to do this assignment. This was the first time I have seen Pearl, and I thought it was worthy of writing a report on. If one has ever been a fan of Pearl Jam, they of course know that Eddie Vedder is the lead singer, and right beside him with his wicked lead guitar playing, Stone Gossard. The cognitive dissonance was very real. Before us, stood one of the biggest bands of the 70s and 80s, legitimate Spinal Tap-heavy behemoths, with songs that will live in beach bro bars until the sea swallows the entirety of the Pacific Rim. And yet they’re playing largely before a generation that prefers to wait for the drop than listen to elliptical guitar solos—no matter how much they make you want to do “Devil Horns” with your hands. It’s clearly no longer their time, but they’ve managed to throttle age hindrances to what should be scientifically impossible. Angus Young looks absolutely fucking ridiculous duck-walking in a crushed velvet short shorts and a tie. He probably always did. But if you’ve ever wanted to ironically (or sincerely) do the air guitar solo of your life, this was probably the moment. I kept on waiting for Wayne and Garth to pop out onstage and flash the “thumbs up,” or at the very least, Bill and Ted. The other guys on the strings are, Mike McCready on guitar, and Jeff Ament on bass....

I chose this one because I wanted to see some of the talent that my peers have in the music realm, and also it was one of the only concerts I have been able to attend because I usually work at night. In which the direction of the current's flow is reversed, or alternated, on a regular basis, AC current is a specific type of electric current. Direct current is no different electrically from alternating current except for the fact that it flows in the same direction at all times. Alternating current was chosen early in the 20th century as the North American standard because it presented fewer risks and promised higher reliability than competing DC systems of the day. DC is the European standard.Many of DC's deficiencies were later corrected, but not until a substantial North American infrastructure had already been developed. It was impressive to hear pieces composed by students. I cannot imagine creating something as complex as a musical composition, much less actually performing it, so this aspect of the concert was particularly awe-inspiring. When I'm producing a rock band, I try to create albums that sound as powerful as Highway to Hell. Whether it's the Cult or the Red Hot Chili Peppers, I apply the same basic formula: Keep it sparse. Make the guitar parts more rhythmic. It sounds simple, but what AC/DC did is almost impossible to duplicate. A great band like Metallica could play an AC/DC song note for note, and they still wouldn't capture the tension and release that drive the music. There's nothing like it. ...

The concert was part of the Masterpiece series, performed by the Seattle Symphony and conducted by Hermann Michael; also including a special performance by the pianist Hélène Grimaud. The fundamental theories concerning simple magnets and magnetism were discussed, but how magnetism can be used to produce electricity was only briefly mentioned. This will give you a more in-depth study of magnetism. The main points that will be explained are how magnetism is affected by an electric current and, conversely, how electricity is affected by magnetism. This general subject area is most often referred to as ELECTROMAGNETISM. To properly understand electricity you must first become familiar with the relationships between magnetism and electricity. For example, you must know that an electric current always produces some form of magnetism. The most commonly used means for producing or using electricity involves magnetism. The peculiar behavior of electricity under certain conditions is caused by magnetic influences. The performance included four pieces, two by Ludwig Van Beethoven, one by Maurice Ravel, and the last was by Richard Strauss. The two pieces by Beethoven were; Overture to The Construction of The House, and piano Concerto No. 4 in g major, Op....

The main performance was by AC/DC and the band Gutted Snake opened for them. There was a moment where Brian Johnson told the crowd: “I hope you like rock, because that’s all we do.” At another point, he asked, “You Doing Good? Good. Keep Doing It.” It’s the sort of thing you say when you honestly don’t have anything to banter out with a crowd who are watching with a mixture of carnival amusement and genuine awe. The members of AC/DC are Malcolm Young on guitar, Angus Young on guitar, Brian Johnson on vocals, Cliff Williams on bass, and Phil Rudd on drums. Gutted Snake opened at 7:30 PM and played until 8:00 PM. There was a remission, and AC/DC started at 8:30. Rock and roll was first created by Elvis Presley in the 1950’s. Rock and roll was new and the young people loved it. These days it is harder to find good rockers. Some older artists still rule the rock world today. Classic rock gods like Aerosmith, Guns and roses, Van Halen, Ozzy Ozbourne, and Poison. One Rock legend I would like to direct my focus on is the amazing and legendary ACDC. They continued playing until around 11:00 PM. AC/DC played songs from all of their records. The bulk of the songs that they performed were: Give It Up, Goodbye & Good Riddance to bad luck, Got You By the Balls, Guns For Hire, Hail Caesar, Hard As A Rock, Have a drink on me, Heat seeker, This House. I'll go on record as saying they're the greatest rock & roll band of all time. They didn't write emotional lyrics. They didn't play emotional songs. The emotion is all in that groove. And that groove is timeless. ..

There were 5 main pieces played, each one having its own unique style and function. The recital was held at University of South Carolina School of Music recital hall room 201 on Tuesday, March 22, 2005 at 6:00pm. You’re either an AC/DC guy or you’re not. No equivocating or halfway fandom allowed. You’re in or you’re out. You either celebrate a 60-year old man delivering last call guitar riffs in a Catholic schoolboy uniform or you didn’t pledge a fraternity. The group that sang was the graduate vocal ensemble and was conducted by Daniel S. Clark. The group of singers did an excellent job capturing the music and it was very hard to notice any major mistakes. The concert in a whole was a very soothing to me because when I went there I was very hyper and tense, but as the pieces were being played out, I became very relaxed and sleepy. When the direct current (I) from the generating station must be transmitted a long distance over wires to the consumer another disadvantage of the direct-current system becomes evident. A large amount of power is lost due to the resistance (R) of the wire when this happens. The power loss is equal to I2R. However, this loss can be greatly reduced if the power is transmitted over the lines at a very high voltage level and a low current level. This is not a practical solution to the power loss in the dc system since the load would then have to be operated at a dangerously high voltage. Practically all modern commercial electric power companies generate and distribute alternating current (ac) because of the disadvantages related to transmitting and using direct current. ...

This piece had a very stepwise and conjunct melody. The key was mostly bright and major. The harmony was a bit resolving and consonant. The polyphonic texture was recognizable because of the multiple melodies playing together. The tempo of this piece was very constant and remained allegretto throughout. The compass needle will align itself at right angles to the conductor, thus indicating the presence of a magnetic force, if a compass is placed in the vicinity of a current-carrying conductor. You can demonstrate the presence of this force. Current flows in a vertical conductor through a horizontal piece of cardboard. You can determine the direction of the magnetic force produced by the current by placing a compass at various points on the cardboard and noting the compass needle deflection. The direction of the magnetic force is assumed to be the direction in which the north pole of the compass points. The dynamics was mezzo forte or moderately loud. The formal structure was in the ternary form in which the main idea of the piece was repeating after a small contrast in the middle....

The Rib America Festival was hosted by The Beatles Live Repertoire. The audience split along substance abuse lines. If you ingested enough moon rocks to achieve planetary orbit, this was not the place to be. If you drank enough second-tier Festival-sponsored beer to fight a glowing Coachella art sculpture, you probably bounced up and down for every song and wished that there was a Jaeger fountain. The group dressed exactly like the Beatles, even had the same names, John, Paul, George, and Ringo. I had never heard any Beatles songs live before, so that was enough to get me off my butt. Not to mention, it was free entertainment, not a bad time at all. So the show starts, and I’m not sure what to expect. You have to give Brian Johnson credit for being arguably the greatest replacement singer of alltime. It’s been three full decades since original front man Bon Scott choked on his own vomit (because how else would a lead singer of AC/DC die?) His voice has become the quintessential pinched-nerve, shout-at-Satan wail. You hear him shriek and you start seeing bats flying out of belfries, lightning streaking through the sky, and failed sobriety tests. During breaks to address the crowd, Johnson spoke in an unintelligible English Elvish-gnome dialect. This is a pure rock star move. He makes Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones look eloquent as Bill Clinton. He sings with his eyes closed and his face squinched because that’s how rock stars are supposed to sing—as though they were constantly in the act of shitting out a diamond or a devil. ...

The reports should demonstrate “Active Listening” and not be merely reviews or critiques. I am interested in the student’s experience at this particular performance. Watching AC/DC feels living in a 80s teen movie that you might’ve caught on TBS when you were a kid. It’s not a John Hughes classic, but something sleazier and low budget—yet oddly effective. The type of comedy with gratuitous party scenes and “boobs for no reason.” It’s like Teen Wolf, Porky’s, or Zapped.* Or going further, it’s a bit like catching the latest installment of the Fast and Furious franchise. If you don’t think about the moments when Vin Diesel leaps across the interstate from one very rare sports car onto the hood of another very rare sports car, it’s flatout awesome. Sometimes, things just kick ass. There is no obligation to use fancy terminology. Just tell me what happened, how it affected you, how this experience will influence your plans for future concert attendance. I am particularly moved by a report that helps me to relive the concert or one that makes me sorry that I missed it....
