It was the only tour to feature drummer Chris Slade until the Rock or Bust World Tour. Williams, who was struck with a kidney infection was filled in by Paul Greg on bass for several concerts on the first North American leg.[1]
During the tour, the hugely successful Live at Donington show was performed.[2] A video of the show has been released on VHS, then on DVD and Blu-ray.[3] By the end of the tour, the band had grossed over 17 million dollars.[4]
On 18 January 1991, three fans were crushed at a show in Salt Lake City when they fell to the floor at the beginning of the concert and were stepped on by other concertgoers, prompting the band to stop playing early on.[5] Audience members were asking the band to stop the concert when the band was continuing to perform.[6] The incident has since been a sore spot for AC/DC's rhythm guitaristMalcolm Young, according to their VH1Behind The Music special in which it is reported that he has since refused to talk about it.[7]
King's X was the opening band for the tour's second North American leg and first European legs of the tour.[8]L.A. Guns was the opening band for the third North American leg of the tour.
ReceptionEdit
Greg Haymes from the Daily Gazette gave the performance at the Knickerbacker Arena a positive review, opening with the anticipation of metalheads who weren't disappointed as the show opened with the arena rattling, while the band performed at three different volumes. Haymes also noted that even if the band may seem anachronistic or cliched, he acknowledged the teaming of the band's members fit together perfectly, even with the simplicity of their songs.[9]
