It was his voice here that made a massive impression on Bon Scott and he told the band about Brian. Previously he didn't sing with that pitch. After Bon died they asked Brian to audition and the rest is history
umm..bur this is previously and he IS singing what that pitch? I thought the same from what I heard but this is way prior to his audition and he sounds more or less the same.
And the irony is that he stopped "singing" when he got to ACDC and within 3 albums he completely destroyed his voice and was never the same again after Flick of the Switch. He should have continued to SING like he did in Geordie and saved his voice for DECADES to come instead of a mere 3-4 years.
This sounds like a complete joke. Had this been released to the rock music audience on a grand scale back around 1980, it would've been career suicide for him
I saw Geordie around 3 years ago when 2 of the original guys reformed. The singer at that point is a friend who also sings in an AC/DC cover band. Both bands are amazing…
@@charlesgallagher1376 I agree but Brian Johnson would still have made it big in the Rock business. If AC/DC scouted him he was obviously on the radar of Rock.
@@petegalloway2466 actually, Brian had largely given up on it if you watch his interviews, saying playing in Geordie had pretty much left him penniless. That, and he thought at age 32 he was past his prime. That hoover commercial he did, and that random phone call to audition, changed his life.
With such a voice, impossible not to a rock star, one of the 3 best rock singer. Thanks Brian for all these moments even if i prefer your voice with AC.DC.
@@Danimal77 I honestly think that if they tuned the songs down and Brian tried to come out of Acdc mode nowadays it would be better, but I don't know his exact situation in terms of vocal health so it's just a thought
@@Danimal77... did you hear "Killing Floor" that was just released a few days ago by Slash on his channel, featuring Brian Johnson? - his vocals are still great
@@Danimal77or maybe be trained his voice in a completely different vocal style for nearly 40 years, thus making it difficult to change the way he sings.
I thought the same exact thing when I heard it. 🤯 It's like a really early rough draft demo of a song that would eventually become "Shook Me All Night Long".
Without the hat it's amazing how he has the same look that Bon did. Duh, not exactly but close. It's probably just the fashion of the day that does it.
What a nice looking young man I`m sure he won`t be the lead singer of the greatest band ever, and write the songs for the second best selling album in history
@@martymartin2894 first of all, you replied after 2 years Second of all, he did write them, cry all you want, Back In Black up to Blow Up Your Video are all Brian's lyrics
I had to go watch the official Back in Black video. Man you hit hard on that one. Very tough. And Malcolm was a great fking songwriter. The best. That album still kicks my ass.
@@trucker8666 bon scott is my favorite vocalist and acdc is my favorite band.. if u were the same u would know damn well those arent his lyrics. those lyrics were meant to be sung by brian johnson. the tone changed completely. it didnt have the zest of bon but it had the grit of brian
Brian and Bon were the perfect voices for ACDC . Bon was not only one of the greatest but picked Brian unknowingly. Genius knows Genius To ME they were the Beatles
Brian e Brian Bon è Bon sono due cose diverse ma gli AC/DC sono una massa unica di puro rock'n'roll e sia Brian e Bon ne fanno parte ma ripeto per l'ennesima volta il fulcro resta la famiglia Young.
That audience has definitely tuned in and tuned out. Great track. I'd be bopping. They were probably told to behave as this was British television I'm sure. 😀
Brian Johnson: The Man Who Was Old 50 Years Ago
Not as old as Keith Richards 😂...
He just didn’t age 😌
Now I see what Bon saw in Brian!
Yes, he sounds like Bon so much in this. :)
@@barryguff6893 sounds like Noddy
My brain won’t stop replaying this song! I love it!
Those lyrics in the first verse sounds like the inspiration for You Shook Me All Night Long!
Good catch
@@jonnuanez7183 Very good catch
@@rustybear5125 Very very good catch

That horn section right next to the bassist is amazing.

@@Danimal77Yeah but AC/DC’s sound and lyrics didn’t lend themselves to singing like he did in Geordie
Yep that's the Brian Johnson voice right there. Superb.
[the Young brothers watching this]: We need this guy.
Good stuff Brian , I can See why Bonn was impressed when he saw you perform
Little did those people know that singer would be one of the best rock singers of all time
Brian Johnson being Brian Johnson! 🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏💪💪💪
AC-DC was his destiny, he grabbed hold and now he's a Legend!!!!!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘
Newfound respect for this man. Had no idea he had an old band.
Incredible!!! Sounds like at any given time he’s gonna rip into “Shoot To Thrill” even though it wouldn’t be written for years! 😆👏🎶🔥
my fave ACDC song
Oh. What an involving voice from Brian Johnson!🙌😳🙌
He sounds alot like he does in acdc here but without the exxagerated screams
@@kingoflebanon1986 Yes, I understand!✌
This sounds like a complete joke. Had this been released to the rock music audience on a grand scale back around 1980, it would've been career suicide for him
Brian johnson has got one of most distintictives voices about 🤘

Brain you were too good for the audience...... Brilliant
One of rock's greatest showmen, and a humble soul to boot. Thanks for uploading these, Brian!
Don't Be Fooled By The Name was the greatest album of Geordie. ❤❤❤
Oh,Brian! Yeah,Geordie!
With Love From Russia.
Do you think anyone in the crowd realised they were stood in front of a rock legend to be! Thee voice of Rock n frikkin Rolla! 🤘🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I think if Bon Scott had lived Brian Johnson’s life would have been radically different.

My fav non-ACDC Brian Johnson song
Definitely one of the best songs from the 70s! I've had this on my playlist for years!!
1 agree but it was a flop
Why was this not a hit? It should have been.
Uhhhhhhhh…Right…
Great stuff, and one of the nicest dudes in rock end of. I'm proud to be a South African now living in Geordieland.
Got to say he was incredible.
A great vocalist.
Long live to Brian Johnson and AC/DC!!
postscript first comment
And Geordie
@@zindi1138 yes bro
Wow that is awesome
With such a voice, impossible not to a rock star, one of the 3 best rock singer. Thanks Brian for all these moments even if i prefer your voice with AC.DC.
Oh yes top 3 for sure
Who do u label he other 3. Because putting him that high the other 2 must be crazy.. don't say ozzy
No, he's not. He was pretty good here, but no way top 3. Freddie, Plant, Paul Rodgers, Steve Marriott, Steve Winwood, Ian Gillan, to name just a few.
@@debbielockhart7762 Jagger because he changed the way everyone sang. (Nice choice with Marriott, btw).
@@debbielockhart7762 ,Dio, Dickinson, McCafferty, Hughes, Gillen, Mogg, Perry, Lauton, Byron…
Just read his book " The lives of Brian ", if your a Geordie or an ac/dc fan you will love it, a great read.
I listened to the audiobook. It was fantastic. Brian is such a good dude and the book was inspirational.
Absolutely one of the best music bios out there. A cracking read
Iv just started part 3
Geordie were a great band. Particularly loved Can you do it’ @ ‘Electric lady’.
🙋 Hi Brian. You're a masterpiece
Geordie...has an ordinary line-up like other 70s rock bands.......But they made music aHeaD of Their time......Brian sounds awesome here
Great Brian💪💪💪
Que nostalgia le debe de dar a Brian estos recuerdos
Would be pretty cool to see Geordie reform for a few gigs!
They did a few years ago. Brian's voice was so shot he can't sing any of those 70's Geordie songs any longer.
@@Danimal77 I honestly think that if they tuned the songs down and Brian tried to come out of Acdc mode nowadays it would be better, but I don't know his exact situation in terms of vocal health so it's just a thought

@@Bill.Xlikely yeah, he can still sing AC/DC style but maybe can't do the lower bluesy or soulful poppy stuff Geordie did.
What an amazing voice !! truly blessed
Woowww now i discovered about Brian before AC/DC 🔝😜🖤🤘🏻
Love this song! Ooo yeah baby that's nice! ✊🏻
Great group
I always liked "She's a Teaser."
Brian 👍
Hell yeah! Go Brian 🍻⚡🔥
Such a different vocal contrast from Goodbye Love. I didn't realize he even sang like this back then.
Thank you for sharing.Awesome.
Oh god, this stuff is super cool
look at those people so excited to listen to real rock... I would have paid to stay there
It was a great band. The song House of the Rising Sun in their performance was the best.
Yes!
2nd favor-rite Geordie song!! Great stuff!!!
Loved Geordie
Obviously a prequel to shook me all night long. ..
What a beautiful performance in a cemetery of the living dead.
It crazy to think that while Brian was frontman for Geordie, Bon Scott was fronting AC/DC.
Whats crazy about it?
Why?
Love It!
So good!!!!!
This is like “you shook me all night long”
Wow this was a treat to see! Also cool how his voice still sounds the same today on the new AC/DC!
Nice old teaser Brian :)
The melody/lyrics at the beginning of the verse is a little reminiscent of "You shook me all night long."
Myb that where brian took inspiration for you shook me all night long
I thought the same exact thing when I heard it. 🤯 It's like a really early rough draft demo of a song that would eventually become "Shook Me All Night Long".
still love it!!
Without the hat it's amazing how he has the same look that Bon did. Duh, not exactly but close. It's probably just the fashion of the day that does it.
not even close
They just weren't ready man 🤟😄
Best Band eveeeerrrrr 👏👏👏👏👏👏😎🤘🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
The audience are a Hoot!
Love it!!!!!!
Brian Johnsons vocal style in Geordie sounded a lot like longtime Nazareth frontman Dan McCafferty didn't it?
Love it!!
it’s not really live but it’s still sick 😎🇺🇸
It was right around this time Brian thought he was too old to be a rock singer, he was about to call it quits after Geordie and retire.
What a nice looking young man
I`m sure he won`t be the lead singer of the greatest band ever,
and write the songs for the second best selling album in history
Well he didn't write them, but he sang it better than anyone else could have even bon.
@@martymartin2894 first of all, you replied after 2 years
Second of all, he did write them, cry all you want, Back In Black up to Blow Up Your Video are all Brian's lyrics
@@comraderomania7988 lol believe what u want.
Brian johnson was already talented
brian johnson fucking rocks.
I had to go watch the official Back in Black video. Man you hit hard on that one. Very tough. And Malcolm was a great fking songwriter. The best. That album still kicks my ass.
Just in the music, but as for writing the lyrics it was the goat himself mr. Bon Scott people should know that, give credit where credit is due
@@trucker8666 no it wasnt, malcom Brian and Angus wrote back in black
@@Mark-gd5vr ok, if you say so, thank you for your cooperation
@@trucker8666 no problem my dude, now you know the facts! Have a great day.
@@trucker8666 bon scott is my favorite vocalist and acdc is my favorite band.. if u were the same u would know damn well those arent his lyrics. those lyrics were meant to be sung by brian johnson. the tone changed completely. it didnt have the zest of bon but it had the grit of brian
Wow
This is a really good song. It's as good as some of the AC/DC songs. AC/DC should have covered it.
Brian would have just screamed it, would have sounded off
I agree, this and “all because of you”, are really great songs 😃
already sounds abit like "you shook me all night long" only the verses though not the chorus
Been playing acdc songs for 32 years and prided myself to sound like you and bon. Would have loved to do some Geordie over the years wow
ya have any recordings?
@@onyxsh0cks456on UA-cam prowler clarksburg/denny burnworth. There a a few acdc some zeppelin stones and others
If you want me come and get me [Malcom and Angus].
And they did. And it was good.
Right mate😂
The bass and guitar are not even plugged in. Brian has been a Rocker ! Bravo
Nice to hear him actually sing instead of screeching.
Yeah he blew his voice out even before the 80’s were over. That’s when I quit listening. He sounds great here!
Brian, we need a solo album from you!
ACDC was The Best thing that happened to you in life Brian 🙏🙏🤟🤟
He sounds like the guy from acdc 🤭
🤟😆
Audience had no idea what they were listening to 🤣🤣🤣
If you listen carefully you’ll hear the origins of shook me in here.
А мне тогда уже аж 3 года было!
I don't know who this brian johnson character is, but he's got a future in music I think.
I had no idea Brian sung this song! I never followed the actual band members back in the day, just the songs.
St, James. Infirmary. Best version ever. GEORDIE. !!!!!
That guy would make a great hard rock front man one day
Хорошая была группа
Brian and Bon were the perfect voices for ACDC . Bon was not only one of the greatest but picked Brian unknowingly. Genius knows Genius
To ME they were the Beatles
sensacional...

Props to the invisible horn section.
That audience has definitely tuned in and tuned out.
Great track. I'd be bopping.
They were probably told to behave as this was British television I'm sure. 😀
They also performed in front of Australian crowds at that time.
it would be cool if , geordie, made new recordings album, with acdc, he does bon scott stuff, RIGHT! big fan since jailbreak
☺♥
