You are indeed correct. This however had only become a more popular opinion in the last 1O yrs. By around 2065 I expect it to be hailed in top 5 AC/DC albums of all time.
I was 30 years old when this was recorded, im now 66 years old. Man how time flies when you're having fun huh! Still listening to AC/DC and always will til I'm 100 if i should be so lucky. One of my favorite bands ever. RIP Malcolm. What a great rhythm guitarist. I know they must miss him much as well as their first singer whose name seems to skip me at this moment ( forgive me for that guys, i should be ashamed of myself but with my age and all the smoke---ha ha ). Wow these guys look so young here. Oh to be young again.
@@27mhz47 thanks for the info. I think I've heard that before and had forgot. Though Brian was a very good replacement for Bon i do miss his voice. Just a shame he had to die in that manner. In my book AC/DC is the best rockers ever. Angus is such a great guitarist.
Avi..... I do appreciate the bass. I think Cliff is a great bassist and Angus is a great guitarist. Not to leave out the fact that the rhythm and the drums are just as great. Always thought that Malcolm was a great guitarist, may he RIP.
Back then everyone used to brag over The RollingStones being in the business for 20 years ..... AC/DC in their decade plus Rock’n’Roll path .... those times where so awesome so kind of innocent pure era ....great era , AC/DC is one of the finest Rock’n’Rollers ever to exist... nobody done so much with so much simplicity and beauty , true Rock’n’Roll icons ! THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS IS REALLY PRICELESS TO WATCH
Hell,! People back in those days were so burnt out , they thought Mick jagger was killed when he stuck his head out of his limo when it was doing 90 mph, & his lips beat him to death!!
@@timmothymonaghan5236 I had some of Rory's old albums but did not know that. Thanks! I have seen an a clip where ac/dc is doing a number and Brian is singing about suicide I think. I cannot find that song anywhere. Any ideas. it may have been filmed in black and white and there is a scene where Brian gets wome water on himself in some way. Again, any ideas?
Angus and Brian are so in their element. Calm. Cool. Collective. How this song (though a cover) did not end up on the album is beyond me. Long live AC/DC. Then, now, and beyond.
They did one cover song on their first album , "Baby Please Don't Go". Another old Blues classic. All original since. Maybe they just don't want to pay royalties? I'm betting they played a lot of Blues songs during soundchecks and rehearsals. They sure do sound like they'd all fit in on a Junior Wells record.
@@ursafan40 yeah, i think they would. seems to me that the 'Jailbreak' album had several of the cover songs on it. and years ago i heard a live version somewhere of them doing Jonny B Good with Bon.
I think this is the first time I ever seen Angus without wearing that schoolboy uniform. Also the first time I've ever seen a lead singer light a smoke in the middle of a song. This video is just fucking awesome.
@@johnygrasa I thought it looked like he was lighting it with another cigarette. That's some funny shit. You ever hear the story about how he got the lead singer gig. It's hilarious. What I heard was that Angus Young went to see this band at a club and he said the lead singer was just great way he screamed and everything. It turned out that he had appendicitis efficenter shitload of pain that's why he was screaming. Hilarious.
Bon Scott saw Brian in his old band called Geordy (spelling)& said he he was of the Little Richard rock n roll type singers. A great front man.Bon damn near named his own replacement. It may have been in the liner notes of the Bon Fire 4 or 5 disc set I had,but for sure from AC/DC Liner notes from one of their discs
Simon was a good fit for the band at this time. I think he gives the band a different sound from the previous stuff done with Phil. Still for me Phil will always be the ac/dc drummer
I miss cigarettes for this reason. Glad I quit, but nothing beats a cig and a beer while listening to some great, passionate live blues. Being in that moment is one of life's great pleasures.
''Being in the moment is one of life's great pleasures''.yet ''glad you quit''? - can't have it both ways..me i quit for a 1 1/2 Never felt better..ill smoke till i die, and enjoy every moment ..i do RYO to save $ tho
beatleme2 I was just looking back to my past. But yea I miss that combo of cig beer and live music. But you're right it wouldnt kill me to fire one up now and again to revisit that moment. It'd be a risk, but I think I could get away with it :) My wallet thanked after I quit too.
@@fivecitydirttracker4776 Yea, my cd collection grew after I quit splurging on the pack of obligatory Marlboro lights at the local 7-11 every other week, come to think of it. Lol. Yea, it's been that long ago since I quit, "cd's" ha. Now I'm all about my health and keeping fit. Also, you know, inhaling second-hand smoke at live shows and outdoor concerts is pretty unavoidable at times, whether cigarettes or that other wacky- tabaccy, so the smell alone and the sometimes 'slight buzz' is enough for me. Haha. I get no urges, b/c the smell just creates a great atmosphere and takes me back to a time when I discovered the band.
Cool. I believe a Jimmy Reed tune. Pretty damn cool. Brian Johnson is even animated during rehearsals! I always love how my favorite musicians are so connected with each other. Angus Young said in one of his interviews that one of the albums that impressed him the most was Second Winter because of the variety in the music. I heard this blues song done by the electric Freddy King, and my favorite guitarist the blistering fast Johnny Winter. This version done by AC/DC is quite the lovely treat for the ears. My favorite albums from them are Let their Be Rock, Powerage and The Razors Edge. But anyone remember Black Ice? Really that's the most variety I ever heard in an AC/DC album. I swear I heard a little slide guitar in that album. True bluesy Rock n roll! Thankyou for this video 🎸🎸🎵
@@chadnewfield8866 Just wanted Mel London to get credit. Had never heard of him. Jimmy Reed wrote many great tunes. I think Arlo Guthrie borrowed from Jimmy's yodel and vocal style.
@@chadnewfield8866 Winter is definitely one of the giants of electric blues. Many votes for Rory Gallagher's renditions in this thread too. Can't go wrong with either. Plus, Wells and Guy deserve credit for taking a great song from an obscure songwriter and putting it out there for Johnny W and Rory to pick up, among others.
Damn, I hate hearing that. That's how he screwed up his voice. You don't need to do that to get a rough sound. Just pinch from the diaphragm gets the same result without ragging out your vocal chords.
@TATTOO VAMPIRE1966 Yeah, if they do keep going, I hope they don't just turn into a tribute band of what they used to be. Either KICK IT, or fold your tent.
@TATTOO VAMPIRE1966 As long as they don't EVER bring back Axl. UGH, that was horrible. Are you from Australia? Most people in the US never heard of them until they put out High Voltage. I think TNT was the very first ACDC song I heard on the radio..
@4EverLed's Channel Keep it comin' Man! Love your work! Peace, from Alberta, Canada. I saw Who Made Who, and The Razor's Edge Tours. Rock Heroes... Greats... Legends... Icons... Idols... My FAVORITES... and that's just Malcolm & Angus, the Young Brothers!!! AC/DC FOREVER!!!
Good thing Angus and Malcolm played guitar. I can’t imagine them doing anything else. Imagine asking angus where the ketchup is at Walmart as he’s stocking shelves. Wait, I can imagine him stocking shelves actually. Lol
ratscoot Me, too. The first album I ever bought was Briefcase Full of Blues when I was eight. I got the record for Rubber Biscuit, but wound up loving the whole thing.
God they where so young in this video, with so much life in front of them. Now sadly, most of them have left us. But the memories, and the music lives on.
I had always heard rock'n'roll was a fusion of rhythm & blues and country but it didn't really hit me until I was in my early 20's...I was listening to the Back in Black lp when it occurred to me Angus was basically playing modified blues licks. I went out and bought a B.B. King lp and have been a blues fan ever since.
Interesting that Brain started singing Landslide at 7:38, as they didn’t play it in this rehearsal video (assuming that the whole thing was taped of course)
Seeing them this young reminds me that in early days my friends and I hadn’t accepted Brian yet. To us he was the guy trying to replace Bon but we bought our tickets for the Hells Bells tour .They played 3 nights in Seattle and my brother and I were there for all three. They opened with Hells Bells and had a replica Liberty Bell on stage that Brian would hit with a sledge hammer during the intro. The first swing came back and hit Brian in the head but he didn’t miss a beat. That and his performance won us over that night
Couple corrections to my earlier comment. I said the sledgehammer rebounded and hit Brian in the head at the start of their first show in Seattle 1982. I knew that sounded wrong and it was. I just remembered it hit him in the left shoulder area. Also, I called it the Hells Bells tour and of course it was called the Back in Black tour
Agreed Flick of the Switch never got the love to me it’s definitely one of there best Albums with Brian Johnson I would put it up against back and black.
I know! And I love For those about to Rock and black and black of course. But I get what you're saying and I'm not going to argue it. I got this album on vinyl when I was 10 years old when it came out
Everybody knows what a great rhythm guitar player Malcolm was. i wonder if there's any video out there of him just like in a rehearsal like this going off and maybe even playing lead or busting out a solo just for the hell of it while the other guys are getting ready. I would love to see and hear that.
This was the first rocknroll recording I purchases in my life, as a kid (12). I bought in the same time at the same shop musicassettes of 1) flick... 2) powerslave/maiden and 3) wasp/1st album. That's the way I was introduced to rocknroll, a quite good starting point I suppose.

When did "Duck" Dunn join AC/DC ? w
I was shocked to see he was playing a headless Steinberger!!! In 1983 they were fairly new. No sound like them ever since.
Malcolm’s rhythm guitar is understated awesomeness.
Adam Rafferty: ya gotta have a good rhythm man with the rhythm section. It’s what allowed Angus to go hog wild ;)
To me Malcom is the back bone of the great power rifts that the angus is known for.
@@Senerian no other better rhythm guitarist that i know of!!!
Get some new material already.... 🙄
Malcom wrote everything practically, it goes without saying his rhythm was spot on, but his soul was in it from day one.
I always liked how big Angus makes an SG guitar seem.

Great stuff. Rory Gallagher did a great version too!
Absolutely--and it's bit more sped-up and rock'n'roll than AC/DCs more trad bluesy version here (although this has a very nice raw edge).
I like all versions! I'm more used to Rory's though.
Johnny Winter👍

popped up & it's really cool. A. Young's tone is sick & sweet!! 💕🎸🎶💕🎸💕🎶

+Transistor Electrico Chuck Berry used a 335, Angus has publicly played one like..twice

Live from the atlantic studios:fucking good concert with really good sound, btw.
Would love to hear em play “Sweet Home Chicago”
9:09 Onwards is some of the best blues riff I have ever heard
Rockin' blues is my favorite thing in the world!
I love rehearsal videos. It shows their true colors without all that technical recorded engineered sound. Or more like behind the scene bloopers.
Had all the albums and most bootlegs but never heard this one!
Can we just pause and appreciate Cliff’s amazing bowl mullet?
Wish Angus would do a blues classics solo album....
Yeah he could re invent himself and dare I say it put on long trousers! 😂
1:57 i could watch videos of cliff drinking beer, all day long
Sensacional...
Man seen Malcolm jam out one of the greatest guitar player of all time R.I.P
I love this voice of Brian
No wonder they chose him as Bon Scotts' replacement...I prefer the Bon stuff, but Brian sure can sing his ass off for sure!
he is somehow so young and so old already at the same time, lov it
Who? There are 5 members! Do you expect us to ASSUME you either mean a Young Brother, or Brian? Still leaves 3!
This was the first rocknroll recording I purchases in my life, as a kid (12). I bought in the same time at the same shop musicassettes of 1) flick... 2) powerslave/maiden and 3) wasp/1st album. That's the way I was introduced to rocknroll, a quite good starting point I suppose.
That's almost 40 fuckin yrs ago. They look so young & I feel like an old fuck.
This is so cool.
