Gonna Take You Down: A Back N Black Mixtape

Back N Black: The Ultimate AC/DC Experience returns to the Capitol Theatre for a night of T.N.T rock n’ roll on Saturday, April 8th! To get you ready, we asked the members of the premiere tribute to share their favorite tracks from the legendary AC/DC catalog!


1. “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” 

From Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (1976)

“This is one of the first songs my son sang as a child. He sang it as ‘dirty deeds and the dumb, dumb sheep.’ I think about him every time I play it.”

– Mickey Lee, rhythm guitar

2. “Back In Black”

From Back In Black (1980)

“This song reminds me of why I love playing the drums. It is such an iconic beat that unites all the air drummers!”

– Renton Reese, drums

3. “Thunderstruck”

From The Razors Edge (1990)

“I chose this song because it kicks off the show in a grand fashion. The riff is undeniable and immediately you know you’re in for a good time!”

– David Jaynes, vocals

4. “Highway To Hell” 

From Highway To Hell (1979)

“This song is such a rock and roll classic! You can immediately recognize it in just the first three chords. Angus’s seamless progression in the guitar solo gives out a wild, thrashing energy that closes the song perfectly.”

– Zach Nelson, lead guitar

5. “Shoot to Thrill” 

From Back In Black (1980)

I chose this song because it has a great bass line with a solid groove that challenges my skill and timing– and it is the theme song for Iron Man 2. How can you not love that!”

– Bob Cowles, bass
