[2] It was the first tour to feature two cannons on stage, which appeared during the band's encore, though it was not used at every show due to some venues refusing to let them use them.
[7] Peter Robb from the Windsor Star who attended the second night at Cobo Hall in Detroit, gave the show a mixed review, opening that the band had succeeded to the top of heavy rock, but failed to innovate beyond the notability of bands like Slade and Bloodrock.
[8] Douglas E. Hall from Billboard, stated in his review that the band put on a hell of a show for a packed enthusiastic audience at Madison Square Garden, which had chanted along with the band's songs frequently, giving a big reaction when the band began performing the song "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" whilst the band gave a set of high energy and straight ahead rock 'n' roll, and delivering an impressive finale with simulated cannon blasts.
[9] Lakeland Ledger's Rick Wilbur opened his review, stating that the sold out house of delighted and complacent heavy metal fans were "electrified" by the band, led by an energetic stage presence delivered by guitarist Angus Young, whom Wilbur had claimed stole the show with his showmanship and adroit musicianship.
Wilbur later concluded his review, stating that while it wasn't harmonic and pleasant music, it was undeniably an effective heavy metal show that sounded good enough to support the thesis that AC/DC is a leader in the heavy metal interest.
