TheStiff Upper Lip World Tour was aconcert tour by the Australianhard rock bandAC/DC in support of their fourteenth studio album,Stiff Upper Lip, which was released in 28 February 2000. This tour had 6 legs around the world lasting 11 months starting on 1 August 2000 inGrand Rapids, Michigan finishing on 8 July 2001 inCologne, Germany.
The tour began on 1 August 2000 at the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, United States.[1] The stage show featured a 40-foot bronze Angus statue with horns which was featured on the cover of the band's fourteenth studio album,Stiff Upper Lip. During the show, the statue released smoke out of its mouth with fire coming out of the head of its guitar. The Munich, Germany show on 14 June was filmed forStiff Upper Lip Live.[2]
A fan was fatally injured at the 14 October show inGhent, Belgium when he fell several metres onto a concrete floor.[3] In Phoenix, Arizona, a "fan" chucked two bottles of beer atAngus Young and was brought out of the concert by security during the breakdown of "Bad Boy Boogie".[4]
Dale Martin, a reporter for theVictoria Advocate described the Alamodome show he attended as a triumphant return for the band, with fans welcoming them in full force - even as the audience got on their feet for the band's opening song, "You Shook Me All Night Long". He described the concert as "intense", detailing that Angus Young was his usual hyperactive self, as well as noting on the stage theatrics that were kept to a minimum, featuring a 30-foot high statue of Angus to remind the audience of his popularity. He noted that while the older fans were satisfied with the older material being performed, the younger audience were more familiar with the new material the band performed that night.[5]
The set list for the tour featured the band's classic songs, but did not feature as many songs off of the new album.[1]
