Bon actually broke his ankle when he jumped off the pulpit.
I wondered about that, when he disappeared from camera-shot for the landing and it suddenly skipped to him back in the pulpit wearing all the regalia!
I remember that!! I was like: DANG!!!
I bet he didn't feel a thing lol
Karma
Broke his ankle, but still finished the video.
love AC/DC ... but AC/DC with bon was a completely different animal
Been to his burial plot many times in Fremantle cemetery, I was there when they erected a statue of him. He passed on the day I was born 100yrs after Next Kelly was hanged. Staying out of prison is difficult for me, but Such is Life.
Yeah... love Brian but u definitely got something different with BON S. 🎸🥁🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🏽
Hell Yeah!!!!! Rock n Roll!!!! AC / DC!!!! Raiders,!!! Rock n Roll!!!!!!! Cali4nia!!!!!!!!!
For me, he was the most unique voice rock n roll ever had.
@@MrSplat1972 Raiders!! Rock n Roll!!!!!!!!!!
Who would have thought something I listened to as teenager that almost 50 years later is still being played
And that we're still here to hear & see it hey!😯 😁🤘✌️
No disrespect to Brian, he probably came closer than anyone else could have done to try to fill Bon Scott's shoes. But Bon was hands down the best vocalist the band could ever have had, and the best front man in the business! Whole Lotta Rosie and Walk All Over You are epic tracks.
@THEZOOROCKSCOM He does indeed sound a lot like Bon...I like Krokus" he's a good singer..
but'' Bon was the ultimate front man, entertainer, and performer. If you didn't see hi live..you
really missed a bloody excellent show..they never"" disappoint!! RIP" ..Bon..X
I feel blessed to have both of them. All good. Gone Shootin'...
I agree!
You have so many hits to enjoy there's very few misses
Props to drummer Phil Rudd...the most underrated drummer in rock! He's a human metronome. Though this may sound like a simple beat but it's one of the hardest to play live. When then play it live it last over 10 minutes with that drum beat the whole way through...no ear plugs, no click track...just impeccable timing with swing.
Underrated by who?
@@seanlowe4785 everybody shit talks Phil and Cliff on how they are limited in skill Compared to other musicians in the genre
Agree. There is a full analysis video of Phil's drumming by Andi Rohde thats almost an hour long. He has a technique that no one can really replicate perfectly that goes for all of his songs as a drummer with AC/DC
Bon actually broke his ankle leaping over the pulpit!!
and Angus knocked his tooth out
AC/DC - Let There Be Rock live at The Apollo Theater Glasgow in 1978 incredible performance..........
Angus at 23 years old was a fn animal. He knocked his own tooth out during a performance.
twice as good as this version
Завидую всеми цветами зависти которые есть на свете)))) ❤
Angus Young's biggest influence was Chuck Berry,Any time Angus skips across the stage,that's his tribute to Chuck Berry's "duck walk" Angus also credits his sister for encouraging him to don the schoolboy blazer, coat, cap, and tie when he hit the stage:
It's always amazed me that Chuck Berry is Angus' idol. I mean, sure, there's a LOT of Berry-style licks in Angus' playing, but they're delivered
so completely unlike anything Chuck ever played. Far more heavy and brutal. Like, where did the heaviness come from?
The name AC/DC came from their sister's sewing machine, it used batteries or plug in power. She also made his school uniforms for ths stage after his real one was no good anymore. He only started gigging in it after school, at age 16. His big bro, said he was gonna be good, when the band was looking for another guitarist, so he started young.
I still refer to Brian Johnson as "the new guy" 44 years later.
Bon Scott will always be my personal favorite front man of AC/DC.
So many great songs.
Down Payment Blues
Riff Raff
Hell Ain't a Bad Place To Be
The Jack
Dirty Deeds
Overdose
Dog Eat Dog
Jailbreak
Nightprowler
Walk All Over You.
More Bon Scott please.
Yes, agreed. Brian’s vocal tone quality suits the AC/DC sound pretty well, but you can see the effort he is having to make which may be why the pace of their late material is slower, to allow him to get the sound out there. His voice works best behind a barrage of bass & lead guitar. Bon’s vocals are more effortless, it seems to flow more naturally, he has the wider vocal range and is note-perfect at any pace. His vocals can stand alone and often alternate with Angus’s riffs & solos. Also important is stage presence, Bon Scott had it in spades, he looked the part & had all the moves and the intensity. If I hadn’t grown up in his era I might be less spoiled, but the flat cap pulled down low over the eyes and the drunken staggering never quite measured up for me.
Touch too much?, Live wire?
AC/DC proves that music doesn't have to be difficult or sophisticated to be fun and enjoyable. One of the best rock bands ever!
I love the closeups of Bon with his devilish Smirks. What a character!
Saw them so many times in Melbourne Australia as teenager in the mid 70’s with the one and only Bon Scott. They were amazing even then, and blew out teenage brains and ears. He had so much charisma and stage presence, and will always be their frontman to me. I have never wanted to see them without him. We saw the best!!
Я прожил пол жизни в ссср и ничего не видел. С трудом могли услышать то что вы слушали и видели. Бон это асдс ...умер Бон и для меня умерла асдс.
They simply never disappoint. A band that knew what it's strengths were and pushed those buttons perfectly every time. And a secret weapon during the Bon years. A tongue in cheek sense of humor.
THe Bon Scott era is just SO much more fun. His lyrics are always hysterical and loaded with double entendres. keep 'em coming,guy! :-) T
Bon Scott always had the cheekiest of smiles.
Also, Bon Scott proselytising RnR. Pure bliss! 🎉🎉🎉
Angus my fav guitarist. That solo at the end is insane
He brought it to the max... 🥁🎸🔥🤘🏽
Bon Scott years are my favorite ❤
70s AC/DC was what MADE me get a guitar.
RIFF RAFF live at the Apollo. Greatest performance by Angus. Such a Showman on the guitar!!!!
Seconded.
@kengunter6093 if you haven’t seen it check out Tommy and Phil Emmanuel’s guitar medley from their Paris show in 2001, Riff Raff appears in that not everyone picks up on it. Two of the best guitarists Australia has ever known. It’s also incredibly entertaining the tricks they do!! ❤
I concur
@Dr_KAP If it doesn't have BS on vocals I'm not interested. Nothing against BJ but the songs just not the same.BS was a lyrical genius with his play on words!!
@@kengunter6903 oh lol I’m guessing you don’t know who Tommy Emmanuel is. They don’t sing. Tommy Emmanuel is known as one of the best guitarists in history. It’s a guitar medley. If you’re not interested that’s fine lol. Someone else might see this and be interested.
My first ever gig was AC/DC with Bon in 1978. Bon had charisma in spades, so much so that although the stuff with Brian is often epic, I find the tunes with Bon more entertaining and interesting. RIP.
More Bon Scott! "Whole Lotta Rosie," "Riff Raff," "Down Payment Blues," "Sin City," "High Voltage," "Dog Eat Dog," "Kicked in the Teeth," "Touch Too Much," "Ain't No Fun Waiting Round to be a Millionaire." The list goes on and on.
*Jailbreak*
RIP Bon Scott .... he was amazing on and off the stage.
Bon Scott's best vocal performance is highway to hell. If you haven't reacted to highway to hell song, highway to hell should be your next AC/DC song.
Bon broke his ankle jumping off the cabinet while filming this clip.That’s why the last solo is footage off them in the studio. Filmed at a church in Surrey hills Sydney.
Bon had a charisma that was undeniable and irreplaceable. I'm lucky to have seen him in person with the band. Hard to see him and remember that he's gone, yet somehow I'm still here. Good reaction guys, well done and very thoughtful.
This is my favorite AC/DC album, hands down. Great from front to back.
I got to see them in 1980 before bon Scott passed away. Was one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen!
The first AC/DC song l ever heard, mid to late 70s, still ❤ it.
I still have most of the AC/DC on cassettes in storage. Definitely one of the all time greats.
Angus actually blew up his amp during the recording of this song. You can actually hear his amp overheating and the distortion becoming more strained.
RIP, Bon & Malcolm!! YOU are MISSED!
The live version of this is amazing. Let there be Rock live at the Apollo theater
Visceral rock. You can't help but move!
🥁🎸🔥🤘🏽
Let us not forget Malcolm Young, R.I.P. He is AC/DC. Best rhythm guitar player.
Long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll... Early ACDC on the back of a truck driving through the Melbourne CBD featuring bon Scott on the bag pipes.
I remember it well . On the truck going down Swanston street passed the Melbourne town hall, along with many other places.
* February 23, 1976, and Melbourne is witness to the birth of a legend. A little upcoming band from Sydney was in town to film a promo video for a TV show called Countdown.
The first singer was Dave Evans there is a video with him singing the song "Can I sit next you girl" very rare video
I remember watching that on Countdown 😊
Great guys now check out them doing this live at The Apollo Theater Glasgow in 1978 incredible performance and dont make the same mistake a couple of other reviewers made cutting it off when Angus climbs up on the speakers for his solo and afterwards his unbelievable finishing act holy crap. A must see!!!
Seem them multiple times live. This is my fav track they do at shows. The solo goes offffff. Thanks for reacting to one of my most loved songs of all time.
Anything from the live album. If you want blood, you got it!!
One of their best albums. This and Powerage IMO. Not a bad song on either.
AC/DC actually had THREE lead singers - Dave Evans (left in November 1974, after the first single - "Can I Sit Next To You, Girl?".) then Ronald 'Bon' Scott (1974 - 80) then Brian Johnson (1980 - ) and, in 2016, Axl Rose (of 'Guns 'N Roses) was brought in as a temporary singer to complete that year's tour dates.
Also, on their first television appearance (I think it was Countdown, in Australia) Bon Scott sported a blue gingham dress!! This was before they settled on their 'usual' outfits!
THIS was the moment when rock reached its ultimate form. Before this song, AC/DC underwent numerous changes, with Angus describing it as a journey to capture the true essence of what it FEELS like when a song really rocks (one of the reasons he is so physical in his play, is that he lets his emotions guide him). When they wrote and played this track, they knew they had found it. The lyrics that were then written to the music say it all: 'Let There Be Rock.'
Some people criticize AC/DC for sounding the same after five decades, but they’ve perfected a sound that resonates with one of the most primal human emotions. Why deviate from the quintessence of rock?
This is such a jam! Bon was also and awesome, charismatic and animated front man! It would've been interesting to see what the band would've been like if he'd stayed alive.
the duck walk he got from Chuck Berry one of his greatest idols. when bon jumped over the whole band he actually broke his leg. cheers from Australia 😎
Check out "Touch to Much", one of their best with Bon
Great tune
Nobody enjoyed being a front man more the Bon Scott. Never took it too seriously.
Never stopped smiling.
Died 1980. He was seriously missed. ☝️😎
Brian Johnson had big shoes to fill
The AC/DC song that you two should definitely react to is "Big Balls"!!
My favorite AC/DC Bon Scott era song!
This live with Bon is fire . Live at The Apollo.
Listen to the live version of this with Bon ..unbelievable!!!!!
Perfect example of how the rythmn guitar can set up great lead players
"Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" ✊ 🎧
Hi Guys, This was released in 1977,Angus Young was only 22 years old in this video, The band are currently on their Power Up Tour of Europe at the moment, Current lead singer Brian Johnson is now 76 years old, Lead guitarist Angus Young is now 69 and still duck walking 😄😄🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸
I love Bon Scott! His facial expressions are great!
I love the Bon era of AC/DC
The one legged hop, is actually Chuck Berry's "Duck walk", Angus is doing his homage to a hero. AND ACDC had 3 singers. Brian Johnson 1980-present, Bon Scott from 1974- 1980, and DAVE EVANS in 1973.
One of theire best Songs...saw them in River plate...Love AcDc...❤😊
Bon Scott
A Frontman’s Frontman
What an Absolutely Amazing Rock & Roll Character.
What a Song 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Rock & Roll Preacher taking us to Rock & Roll Church

Industrial strength rock'n'roll.
Loved this the first time I heard it way back in the seventies.
They really are the Gods of Rock!
I saw the Let There Be Rock concert at the Capital Center in Maryland in December 1977, the first time I had seen them. They were so loud that my ears rang for weeks. It was about 10 years before I saw them again, but a little deafness is worth an AC/DC concert.
I went to this Tour of Let there Be Rock in Johnson City Tenn! In 1978 or 79.
Bon Scott was There (Orginal) ge carried Angus around the Concert Hall including the 2nd Level, Angus was on Bon's Shoulders! I was 1 ft or 2 from them as they Passed us
The winning AC/DC formula? Three chords, balls and FUN!
I read somewhere that when Angus was playing that last solo that the old amp. caught on fire but they told him to keep playing.
The world lost a lot when we lost Bon.
I remember carving his epitaph into my desk at school.
I wasn't the only one.
There was actually another singer before Bon named Dave Evans, but he is pretty much forgotten.
I like Brian and Back in Black is certainly one of the great rock albums, but Bon Scott is my favorite vocalist and Bon era Acca Dacca my favorite era. There's no one like Bon.
I have had the pleasure to see my favorite band 16 times in concert going back to 1975, cool thing they make over 50 million in royalties from movies, sports etc using their music,, Best Rock band ever !!!!!! when you see them you get your moneys worth and then some,,
My cousin introduced me to this around 76/77 when imports started to get to England from Australia and I've loved them ever since, used to have this video on VHS back in the day, My favourite track is Gone Shooting off Powerage and personally I'd always go Bon Scott but don't get me wrong I think Brian did an amazing job. Great reaction
My favorite of all their songs!
I was lucky enough to have grown up in seventies Australia. Saw them play a number of times. I am sorry to say. For me, the band AC/DC we're ended when Bonn passed away.
I just LOVE seeing these videos - my GOODNESS: they were ALL JUST BABIES!!! LOVE ME SOME ROCKIN' AC/DC!!! :) THANKS, YA'LL!! Made MY DAY!! HUGS!!!
Live at the Apollo 1978 is an amazing version. The 1979 album of the concert is "If You Want Blood" and was the 1st album I bought as an 8 year old kid.
This group is definitely one of the best of all time. I was first introduced to them, by new friends at a new school, who vastly broadened my 13 or 14 year old mind, music wise. I remember being told that Angus, at at least one concert, performed a solo for several minutes, while being carried on someone else's shoulders. (possibly one of the stage bouncers)
Even if that is not true, you cannot say you can't seem him doing it. I hope you do tons more of the early stuff. I love the later stuff, but I think they had a bigger blues influence early on, and I think it's even more primal than some of the later stuff. Problem Child, The Jack, Big Balls, Dirty Deeds, Ride On. You may have done 1 or more of those already but any you have not done, I think youw ill totally love.
Great channel.
Angus knocked out his own tooth the way he plays. Watch this live from 78
If you want to see them having fun, there's a performance of 'Baby Please Don't Go', live on Countdown in '75, where Bon has a bit of fun and surprises the rest of the band when he comes on. The other guys can barely contain themselves and Bon and Angus do a great back and forth. Do check it out, it's fantastic.
You gotta love the song writing too... rock masterpiece !
Bon & the boys doing "Jailbreak " is another great early hit song & video is pretty cool too
This song is an unstoppable force!
The first song I heard from them was this song and never looked back 🤘
A live version of this and a song called Riff Raff at the Apollo theater In 1978 is a must..... both will blow your mind ...lol
One of AC/DC's inspirations was Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs. The loudest band in Australia. 'Mama' performed live in 1971, on the TV show GTK is amazing.
I've never seen them with Bon Scott, but I've had the pleasure of seeing them on 4 different concert tours and They Always put on a Great Show!!! All with Brian Johnson
you have my sympathy
@@TheSmittenman yeah,I wished I could've seen them with Bon...all 4 concerts were with my recently passed identical twin brother.. So at least I have the memories with my Bro!!
'Let there be rock' (1977) was AC/DC's 4th overall album and something of a landmark record - their sound had solidified as Angus and Malcolm Young wanted a record w/ "big guitars"... and it was the first AC/DC album to break into the US top 200 charts and marked the first time they toured N. America, opening for Kiss and other major acts.
Mark Evans (bass) played on the record but he was replaced by bassist Cliff Williams before this music video was filmed... he joined Bon Scott (vocals), Phil Rudd (drums) w/ Angus and Malcolm Young... Cliff later revealed that he and Bon were close because they were both a few years older than the other members of AC/DC and could hang... Cliff also became close friends w/ Brian Johnson when he joined AC/DC in 1980.
Angus Young was a very short fella and was missing a front tooth at the time and truly looked like a demented schoolboy on stage ... Bon Scott was also missing teeth cos he had been brawling back in Australia... Both got their teeth fixed by 1979 as AC/DC were starting to break big worldwide.
This comment is much appreciated comment. Thanks.
IMO a perfect rock n roll song
Keep an eye out they might be going on a tour again somehow- I was fortunate to see them before Brian lost his ears and right after Malcom died and they rocked just like you’d expect and if I recall they either em started or ended the concert with this song and it was like 20 mins of shredding glad you checked it out!
Love how they do this video with the song!!❤❤
Loved this. Lots of very smart rockers in the comments. I know this because they have already said what I wanted to, broken ankle etc. I would love to see you pair of fine specimens do an AC/DC Bluesy double header from the Album "Dirty deeds done dirt cheap" with "Ride on" and "Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire". Ya could rap it up with Squealer, just putting it out there. Lads hit some likes to tell them to do this. We know they would love it!
Angus look like he’s around my age here he probably was and he’s been playing since he was fine years old i love all of it
You NEED to see the live version of this at the Apollo theater Glasgow in 1978, it will blow you away, especially with Angus going absolutely bonkers! (Mad in Aussie parlance)
Yi from Perth Western Australia you guys have watched the best video if this song...sung and written by Bon Scott RIP
AC/DC la mejor banda de hard rock de la historia
Two things. First off that kid playing guitar, is the one playing in suspenders and short, while dancing across the stage later in their career. Secondly, this was with the first lead singer, not the one you see now, or since the Back in Black album.
You need to check out Whole Lotta Rosie, Riff Raff, Problem Child, or Ride on.
Bob Scott had a big impact in classics and the influence of and play wind instruments bagpipes and guitar and wrote the music
good scott had a voice that was recognizable among a thousand
Certainly not boring!!!!!! Always great and very consistent.
If you really want to feel ACDC, you have to check out Ride On-and Down Payment Blues. Both Bonn Scott era songs. Both AWESOME Angus Young Riffs. Ride on is about the slowest, most bluesy song ACDC has ever done. Down Payment Blues is just a BANGER. As soon as it starts you will know what I mean. Brian Johnson has a live version of this song. But if you do do it, Please use Bonn’s original. But any ACDC song, I’m here for!!!
I love Ride on for it'd Bluesy qualities but feel Ain't no fun should be thrown in to the Bluesy list, Love that tune and lived that struggle.
@@KarlXByrne Absolutely 100% agree!!

It's not wrong to laugh or giggle the first time you hear it. IT IS JOYOUS!
The Kirk, at 422-424 Cleveland St, Surry Hills, was owned by Sydney dominatrix Madame Lash (Gretel Pinniger). Pinniger purchased the 1887 property for $205,000 in 1986. The 'Let There Be Rock' video was filmed in July 1977 .
