But let me start from the top (considering AC/DC, that would be 1973, so maybe I should've said 'this Monday'). In order to actually see AC/DC, I went to get contact lenses. To a proud capitalist - like myself - this could sound easy, but our beloved 'come, choose, pay and go' doesn't work (or at least didn't work for me) when sticking something right onto your eyeball is involved. Luckily for me, the optician also understood the simplistic beauty of 'do your job and enjoy the money'. Or maybe I'm cynical and she really loves trying to keep people from blinking while inserting stuff into their eyes. Anyway, she was incredibly nice and kept cheering me on. After countless tries, I saw the world bright and sharp without glasses again (after....mm,..well, a loong time). It took me unbelievably more tries (unbelievably more than countless.... go logic!) to be able to take the lenses out and put them back in myself (with the optician navigating).
The next day I got as usual(i.e. 6 AM).... to spend about 40 minutes hopelessly trying to stuck those lenses where they belong (that's into my eyes, if anyone's wondering). I succeeded at the cost of cutting down my breakfast time to one inconveniently approaching zero.
The concert itself was unbelievable, something my poor writing skills can never describe. Something one has to hear and see. They are just amazing, aged 61(Brian), 53(Angus) 56(Malcolm), 59(Cliff) and 54(Phil), they gave a 2-hour performance full of pure rock'n'roll damnation, which nobody wanted to end. The band rocked their hearts out and we wanted to stay on the highway to hell forever. I could go on for hours, talking about the video that the show started with, me and the guy sitting next to me jumping from our seats to shout that we are back in black, dynamites and that we win the fight, that we salute to those about to rock. Which was the last thing we got to shout, because after "We salute you, Prague" the band left the second and final time, leaving the fans nothing to complain about. Unless you'd have preferred Czech flag to the AC/DC logo as it appeared on Angus' underpants during his traditional striptease......
Looking like I've cried all night was definitely worth it. ;)
