Fan-filmed video footage of AC/DC's February 5 performance at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada can be seen below. According to TMZ, AC/DC last month filed a lawsuit to get a judge's order that it can use to direct federal marshals, and authorize local and state police and agents hired by the company to seize bootleg T-shirts and similar items during the band's current U.S. tour.
