For Those About To Rock (We Salute You) - Malcolm Young Isolated - Live at Donington

Badass!!! Did you hear how he wasn't perfectly timed and nailing every little note? That is why those songs sound so much better than the perfected, polished music out now. More about feel that everything being spot on, perfect tempo.

I love how he used less gain than Angus. That sound works so good. GnR with Izzy and Slash was the same type of thing.
 
What were all the Meas Boogie cabinets for at this show? Guitar or Bass? This tone just makes me smile....that's the sound of Rock & Roll....

Look like guitar cabs to me. Plus it wouldn't make sense to stack them on top of the guitar cabs.

I used these to learn a bunch of my parts for the AC/DC tributes I do.

Okay. The question was whether or not the Mesas were bass or guitar cabs. So whose they were doesn't change the fact that I believe they are guitar cabs. They look like 4x12s to me and stacking bass cabs on anything other than other functioning bass cabs doesn't make sense.

I would not have believed it but it appears as though you are 100% correct.... both Malcolm and Angus used Mesa Boogie Studio Preamps Boogie Simulclass 295 power amps for the Donnington Live 1991 show... WOW just WOW..............:shocked:

since 30 years I work on the my favorite AC/DC Angus Young sound based on plexis. I always prefered the Live at Donington 1991 sound and learned from this forum / japanese magazine article
https://www.acdcfans.net/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9446&page=1#Comment_574591
that Angus and Malcom used a Mesa Boogie Studio Preamp and Mesa Boogie Simul 295 Stereo power amp for the live album (see the input cable and switch position of the amps). 1996 again plexis like today. A member of this thread was so kind and gave me the original article picture in much better quality:

They moved all those cabs for each band between sets at a festival?? Would take hours between bands. Yes, I'm aware Acdc used Mesa. Actually I think this Donnington was some of their best sound👍
