    The Long Players return to The Mercy Lounge with Back in Black which contains some of AC/DC's biggest hits, including "Hells Bells," "You Shook Me All Night Long" and the title track "Back in Black." According to Angus Young the album's all-black cover was a "sign of mourning" for Scott, as black is the traditional Western colour of mourning. It is AC/DC's best selling album, the second best-selling album of all time, and the biggest selling album by any band, with more than 45 million copies sold worldwide. In 2006 Back in Black was certified by the Recording Industry Association of America as the fifth best-selling album in the United States, with 22 million copies sold. Despite its massive commercial success, it is not AC/DC's highest charting album in the U.S, peaking at #4; their next album, For Those About to Rock We Salute You, hit #1 in 1981 as did the band's 2008 album Black Ice.

    In 1989, Back in Black was ranked #26 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 100 Greatest Albums of the 80's. In 2003, the album was ranked number 73 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. VH1 named Back in Black as one of the biggest comeback albums of all time and also rated it as #2 in VH1 Greatest Hard Rock Songs.

    Please note: This is an 18 and up show.
