The Razors Edge world tour was a rock concert tour played by the hard rock band AC/DC , which had 5 legs around the world lasting 12 months starting on 2 November 1990 in Worcester, Massachusetts finishing on 16 November 1991 in Auckland, New Zealand .
Background
It was the only tour to feature drummer Chris Slade until the Rock or Bust World Tour in 2015-2016.
During the tour, the hugely successful Live at Donington show was performed. The show has been released on VHS, DVD, then on BlueRay.[ 1]
On 18 January 1991, three fans were crushed at a show in Salt Lake City when they fell to the floor during the concert and were stepped on by other concertgoers; however, the show two days later was played as planned. The incident has since been a sore spot for AC/DC guitarist Malcolm Young , according to their VH1 Behind The Music special in which they say he has since refused to talk about it.[citation needed ]
The tour was one of the highest-grossing of the 1991 year, and brought AC/DC back into the spotlight.
King's X was the opening band for much of the U.S. and European legs of the tour.
