Stade de France, Saint-Denis, France 13th August 2025

　Over 50 years after their debut, AC/DC continues to thrill the world. Their latest “PWR/UP Tour” will be released simultaneously on two original IEM albums that will immerse you in your brain!

　This two-part series was recorded at two consecutive performances at the same venue. This work is an in-ear monitor intercepted sound source of the second part, “August 13, 2025 Saint-Denis Performance (Day 2)”.

　Their latest “PWR/UP Tour” has been met with rave reviews around the world, but there are no rumors of a Japan tour. This two-part series is a companion piece that will quench that thirst. To get a sense of their current situation, let’s first take a look at their current activities.

[Original IEM Master Sister Work by the Same Recorder]
　The band announced the “Resurrection of AC/DC!” to the world with their 2023 “Power Trip” appearance. After that, they replaced bassist Chris Chaney and began a world tour. They continue to shake the world at this very moment. During this journey, the Saint-Denis performance took place on the 12th and 13th shows of “Europe #2.” This work was recorded on the second day of those two consecutive shows (August 13th).

　This work, which conveys such a show, is an original recording made through our own route, just like its sister work “PARIS 2025 1ST NIGHT (Shades 2584).” It is a treasure that has not been released anywhere else online and can only be heard in this work. The sound is very similar to the first day, but not exactly the same. The main performance sounds and vocals, like those in the sister work, have a direct feel like a soundboard directly connected to the mix desk. There are no clicks or staff instructions, and the pleasure of being immersed in the music alone remains unchanged. The powerful impact of the extremely raw and rough mix is also plentiful.

　While the two albums are largely similar, if I had to point out a difference, it would be the cheering spectacle. This album, despite being an IEM, picks up the cheers between songs (to a certain extent). While “1ST NIGHT (Shades 2584)” had the feel of an IEM, overrun with the extremely thick performance sound and vocals, this album also has a strong stadium energy. The raw performance sound is layered with the cheers, making it a highly polished live album.

[The daily song “Dog Eat Dog” is also a delicious full set]
　The dynamic IEM sound, which is similar but different from its sister work, is depicted as a full show of the “PWR/UP Tour,” which is also similar but different. Let’s organize the set contents while paying attention to the daily songs.

●Bon Scott era (11 songs)
・Rock Spirit: Dog Eat Dog (★) / Whole Lotta Rosie / Let There Be Rock
・Highway to Hell: If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It) / Shot Down In Flames / Highway To Hell
・Others: Sin City / Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap / High Voltage / Riff Raff / TNT
●Brian Johnson era (10 songs)
・Back in Black: Back In Black / Have A Drink On Me / Hell’s Bells / Shoot To Thrill / You Shook Me All Night Long
・Power Up: Demon Fire / Shot In The Dark
・Others: Thunderstruck / Stiff Upper Lip / For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)
*Note: Songs marked with “★” are daily songs that cannot be heard on the sister album “PARIS 2025 1ST NIGHT ORIGINAL IEM RECORDING.”

　While “Hell Ain’t A Bad Place To Be” from “1ST NIGHT” was featured, this album features “Dog Eat Dog.” Its revival during the Axl Rose era in 2016 was much talked about, and it became a semi-standard track on the “PWR/UP Tour.” This album hammers this classic into your brain with the direct feel of an IEM.

　This is a compilation of two consecutive performances from the “PWR/UP Tour,” which is a sister work to the “PARIS 2025 1ST NIGHT.” In contrast to the pure immersion of the first day, this work is a live album that is also filled with cheers. The set and sound are very similar, yet not identical, like fraternal twins. This is a series of two new masterpieces from sisters who are proud of the world. Please enjoy both to your heart’s content!

★In-ear monitor intercepted audio from the “Saint-Denis performance on August 13, 2025 (Day 2).” Originally recorded by the same sound engineer as the sister album “1ST NIGHT,” this powerful IEM sound allows you to immerse yourself in the music without any clicks or voice instructions. The level of perfection, which allows you to feel the heat of the cheers, is also appealing, and this is a pleasure album that lets you experience the full set of the “PWR/UP Tour” including the daily song “Dog Eat Dog” directly in your mind.
