[edit] Tour
With the release of the The Razors Edge, AC/DC left on a world tour. The tour was possibly the most publicised tour they had ever done. The success of the tour was fuel by the crowed pleasing songs, such as Thunderstruck, Moneytalks, and Are You Ready.
[edit] Notable Events
During each concert at the end of the song Moneytalks hundreds of 1 Dollar "Angus Bucks" fell on the audience. These bills can still be obtained now from private sellers online.
This was then-drummer Chris Slade's first tour with AC/DC, and also his last one, not including the "Monsters of Rock concert they played at Castle Donington in England. This was also filmed and released as AC/DC Live At Donington, and the sound recording was released as AC/DC Live.
