Blimp Time-Hop: AC/DC Ask, ‘Who Made Who?’ Live At CCCC In ’86

34 years ago today, it was another sell-out show for AC/DC at the Civic Center. This was their second ever appearance in Portland. The first AC/DC show happened in our city on November 24, 1985 on the Fly on the Wall tour.

In fact, every AC/DC show ever in Portland was a sell-out, including the last time they rocked the CCCC in March of 1996.

The concert we’re commemorating was on September 16, 1986. This was the Back in Black line-up with the exception of Phil Rudd on drums. He left the band in 1983 during the recording of Flick the Switch. Phil was replaced by 20 year old drummer, Simon Wright.

AC/DC was touring in support of their (kinda sorta) greatest hits album, Who Made Who. That record was also the soundtrack to Stephen King’s film, Maximum Overdrive.

Wonder if Maine’s King of Horror himself was in the audience that night? We 'bout 'magine. We hear he loves AC/DC, just like most Maine rockers.

According to our Official Book of Cumberland County Civic Center Concerts in Chronological Order, the Japanese metal band Loudness opened the show.

Here's the official video for Who Made Who with an awesome guitar army of Angus clones.
