  • December 17 1979 - Hammersmith Odeon London.
    This is the very last time AC/DC played both Baby Please Don't Go and Its a Long Way To The Top during a concert. Arnaud Durieux figures it was a way for the band to close off an era, as they were destined to hit big with their next album. Sadly things did not go as straight forwards as they had hoped.
    Remastered from pretty good master tapes, audience recorded. You can hear that the song is accompanied by synthesizers for the bagpipe section. Ever expected to hear AC/DC and synthesizers in the same sentence?
    Enjoy this very rare performance!

    A early AC/DC classic song and in this last played live version with Bon a absolut Killer-song.

    Ohh the memories I have with this gig one of the first I ever got from 1979. A rough sounding bootleg but you made it sound better. A very unique setlist for this show. Live Wire was not played on this night.

    Wow, huge AC/DC fan and I never knew they played Its A Long Way this late. I did hear they had planned to resurrect it on the Blow Up Your Video Tour, but some Australian pop singer was doing a popular cover of it, so they dropped that idea, which is a shame...
