Pro-shot footage of AC/DC's set-opening If You Want Blood (You Got It), shot at the band's Power Up tour date at Vajnory Airport in Bratislava, Slovakia at the weekend, has emerged online.  

The footage features guitarist Angus Young and frontman Brian Johnson entertaining a crowd reported to number more than 100,000, alongside rhythm guitarist Stevie Young and new recruits Matt Laug (drums) and Chris Chaney (bass).

The band's set in Bratislava was three songs shorter than that played at the start of the tour. Givin' The Dog A Bone, Dog Eat Dog and Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be have all been dropped since opening night at the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

Just six dates remain on the tour, which heads to the Zeppelinfeld in Nuremberg, Germany, on Saturday night, and climaxes at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland, on August 17. Dates outside of Europe have not been announced. Full dates below.

In May, AC/DC announced a limited edition reissue of the original Australian editions of their High Voltage and T.N.T. albums. The albums were sold at the pop-up dive bars the band opened to coincide with their shows in Seville, Munich and London and Paris. 

There's another opportunity to purchase the albums at the store opening in Paris on August 12. The store will be located at Galerie Au Roi, 73-75 Rue De La Fontaine Au Roi, ahead of AC/DC's show at the Paris Hippodrome on August 13.
