Rock 'N' Roll Train

Fans were more than ready for AC/DC's first album in 8 years, so it was no problem to gather an enthusiastic audience for the "Rock 'N' Roll Train" video shoot in London in August 2008:



See the finished version, and how an introductory animated sequence became the opening for the "Black Ice" concert tour in 2009.
