Question
Dear Bill
During the American leg of the Highway To Hell tour was the guitar tech Keith Evans.Also at the end of the Highway To Hell tour, at the old Wembley Stadium, same bill as the Who, was the lighting tech Barry Spencer.
Thanks Steve B

Answer
Hello Steve,

Thank you for your question.
Malcolm's guitar tech would have been Keith Evans (Angus' was Robert Usher). I am uncertain if Barry Spencer was a lighting tech during the Wembly show, but AC/DC's lighting crew during the European leg of the Highway To Hell tour would have been Terry Lee, Paul Mayer, Barry Scrannage, John Mallard, and Keith Marshall.

Best Regards, Bill
