AC/DC’s concert at Melbourne Cricket Ground causes earth tremors – leaving Fifi Box confused and ready to call the police

An AC/DC concert caused a surprising effect in Melbourne – it created small tremors that fans definitely felt!

The Australian band’s concert at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Wednesday was so loud, it registered as seismic activity, according to Adam Pascali, chief scientist at the Seismology Research Centre.

Adam was a guest on The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick show on Thursday and shared that sensors picked up low-level shaking throughout the city while the performance was happening, which lasted about 90 minutes.

I checked it out last night, and everything was working perfectly. It wasn’t just loud; the sound was actually vibrating through the ground,” he explained.

You can easily follow the beginning of the performance, pinpoint where it really got going, and identify the songs that generated the most energy and excitement.

When asked if Melbourne residents felt the tremors, he explained that they were very low frequency – almost like a powerful bass sound – but their seismologists were able to detect them.

‘I can’t think of another concert at the MCG that has had that impact!’ said co-host Fifi Box.     

The radio host, 48, said she initially thought her neighbors were having a party when she felt the earthquake on Wednesday night.

I was trying to get Daisy to sleep around 8 PM last night when I thought I heard a party happening at my neighbor’s house,” she said.

I was lying down, imagining calling the police, and wondering if the teenagers next door hadn’t been able to get tickets.

Fifi didn’t realize until the next day that the loud music she’d heard wasn’t a neighborhood party – it was AC/DC performing their POWER UP tour about three kilometers away.

She was surprised to learn the loud AC/DC music she heard wasn’t coming from a neighbor – it was actually the band performing at the MCG stadium! She said it sounded incredibly close, like it was right next door, even though the stadium was a thirty-minute walk away.

Iconic rockers AC/DC have kicked off their first Australian tour in more than a decade.

The band played many of their most famous songs, but they surprisingly left one well-known hit out of the performance.

The band didn’t play their famous song, “It’s A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘n’ Roll),” even though they performed other hits like “Back in Black,” “Thunderstruck,” and “You Shook Me All Night Long.”

The band didn’t forget the song, but they hadn’t performed it live in over forty years.

AC/DC stopped playing the song in concert after their original singer, Bon Scott, passed away.

Bon died in 1980 in London from acute alcohol poisoning at the age of 33.

The song was released in 1975 and appeared as the first track on the band’s second album T.N.T.

After Bon Scott passed away, the band’s new singer, Brian Johnson, decided not to perform the song in concert because it was so closely associated with Bon himself.
