1981-82

  As with the "Back In Black Tour", very few shows were released on bootleg for the "For Those About To Rock Tour". Lots of different versions of a good audience recording from the Rochester 81 show exist, and the two superb Japanese shows (recorded in Kyoto & Osaka 82) are both available on extremely rare bootlegs. All of the bootlegs from this tour are hard to find.
