AC/DC concert chronology

The Razors Edge world tour was a rock concert tour played by the hard rock band AC/DC, which had 5 legs around the world lasting 12 months starting on 2 November 1990 in Worcester, Massachusetts finishing on 16 November 1991 in Auckland, New Zealand.

Background

It was the only tour to feature drummer Chris Slade until the Rock or Bust World Tour in 2015-2016.

During the tour, the hugely successful Live at Donington show was performed. The show has been released on DVD twice.[1]

On 18 January 1991, three fans were crushed at a show in Salt Lake City when they fell to the floor during the concert and were stepped on by other concertgoers; however, the show two days later was played as planned. The incident is a sore spot for AC/DC guitarist Malcolm Young, according to their VH1 Behind The Music special in which they say he refuses to talk about it to this day.

The tour was one of the highest-grossing of the 1991 year, and brought AC/DC back into the spotlight.
