Rest in Peace Ted Albert, Bon Scott, Malcolm Young, George Young and all the others that made this an excellent story of Australian Rock N Roll. since 1976 I've been listening to AC/DC and I'm still listening almost 50yrs later.
Same thing for me since 1978, i'm French, and i bought twice their discs because i wouldn't it to stop ... i'm 60 right now, and always fan like the first day ! peace Alain
I’m more into some others like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Ronnie Dio whatever band you want to choose him in . Of course Black Sabbath and Dio being the top two for RJD .
Почему вы все пишете сколько вам лет - разве где то сказано что в 58 лет нужно слушать другую музыку - мне тоже 58 и что я должен слушать что то другое ? - я и в 88 лет буду слушать ACDC и то что мне нравится
A heartfelt thankyou to all who contributed to this brilliant documentary! It's the missing jig saw pieces of our wonderful cultural history, "Pub Rock!" This stuff should be taught in schools.
Brilliant documentary!! So much talent was churned out by the Albert 'family'. Angry Anderson hit the nail on the head when he said Australian music was all about authenticity which is sadly lacking today in the music industry.
@@davidmccourt8174 Saw AC/DC, The Angels, Rose Tattoo, Skyhooks, Sherbert, TMG, Hush. Cold Chisel, My first concert was Suzi Quatro the Can the Can Album/Tour I was 14
I saw AC/DC in 1985 at the Tacoma Dome. My roommate was a DJ at a pop-rock station in Bellingham. He asked, "What are you doing tonight? AC/DC is playing at the Tacoma Dome. Let's go." They played for two hours. Best of times.
It’s a shame people like Ted Albert don’t exist anymore.. someone trustworthy,loyal and willing to respect you and let you be yourself.. that music industry died. ❤
What an absolutely brilliant documentary! I revelled in every second of it, from the beginning with the sense of accomplishment with the EasyBeats showing the world that those crazy Aussies could in fact hold their own amongst the heaviest hitters in the industry at the time. Slowly building the foundations of what would become arguably the single most important contributor to, as was quoted “how Aussies do Rock & Roll, how we handle it down here” that would leave an indelible mark on the industry in the coming years. I’m not embarrassed to say I was bawling like a baby when it came to Stevie’s performance at the opera house. The poor bugger came so f*cking close & lost it all. Twice. That’s enough heartbreak to destroy anyone, let alone musician. There will always be a feeling of endless despair attached to Stevie in my eyes that forever permeates it’s way even into the EasyBeats early, upbeat, ready to take on the world early work. I hope he finally found his peace in the end. As a Australian musician, I owe so much of what I was able to experience playing in bands to the Alberts, George & Vanda & the Young Brothers. My absolute proudest moments were supporting Rose Tattoo, having complete music nerd conversation with the guitarist from the Angels after we played at the Factory Theatre in Marrickville & playing a gig with Malcom Young in the crowd (he was good friends with the guys in one of the other bands who were also on the bill that night, The EightBall Junkies-good band check ‘‘em out & getting to shake Mals hand & thanked him for putting in all the hard yards and paving the way for all of us that came after them). I have always been disappointed I never got to meet Bon. Hell, I didn’t even get to live on the planet at the same time as he did! But I always got the impression that he would of been a genuinely good bloke, definitely rough round the edges with a distinct air of danger about him but ultimately & fundamentally a top notch guy. He had the magic about him, what is it about blokes like that you just have to be bestmates with? Whatever it was Bon had it in bucket loads. A true performer & showman with a clever way with words and a cheeky, toothless grin. I think the best advice I ever received was given to me by Angry Anderson himself. When we landed the support for them, it was the first well known & respected band we’d ever been given a chance to open for. I had grown up literally on Rose Tattoos music by my Father, who had their albums on vinyl and would regularly give them a spin, they were the real deal in my eyes and it was almost surreal because I never could have imagined back then one day I would be sharing a stage with Ironbar himself. So I had to do what I thought was the respectful thing to do & go and thank Angry for allowing us to share their stage with them & what an honour I personally considered it to be. After listening to us stammer out our best Thanks he looks me dead in the eyes and says “It’s all about the pain my boy, it’s ALL about the pain.” And that was it, he dismissed us as politely as we deserved and went back to talking to the person he was actually interested in talking to 😂. It didn’t really make sense to me back then, well not as much as I understand it now. It really is about the pain. Without pain, life doesn’t exist. He’s absolutely right about one other thing too, “nobody attacks a guitar like an Australian.” Rock on 🤘 Thanks again for a great documentary
58 yr old Deep South , American here. Lynard Skynard country. AC/DC is Still my favorite band in 2024. Thunder Struck decades later riding the Hwy to Hell across the States.. Rock on
3 a.m. now went to bed at 1 a.m. and just wanted to do a quick yt session. Fell over this documentary and forgot everything. When I changed to middle school, someone gave me a tape with AC/DC and that changed my life. I‘m old now, but AC/DC still got me up and running. Thank you.
I remember seeing Akadaka in our local town hall in Queenstown Tasmania in 1976, what an experience !! This was when bands in Australia toured everywhere to get a fan base
What great memories, this was how it was growing up. One of the best documentaries I have watched. Thank you Ted Albert for believing in good old Aussie pub rock. RIP Ted Albert, Bon Scott, Stevie Wright, Doc Neeson, Malcolm and George Young. Thank you The Easybeats, AC/DC, Flash and the Pan, The Angels, Rose Tattoo, JPY and so on and the collaboration of Vanda and Young. I shed a tear for Stevie Wright and smiled watching Bon and Doc.
This is the only documentary that focuses on the foundations of what Australian rock was built on. Australian rock owes so much to Alberts and the Young/Vanda and its great this doc records the history.
As a american boy i grew up listening to AC/DC. Parents owned a roller skating rink and that's where I was exposed to AC/DC! Forever a fan! Rock on gentlemen!
@ what we have in front of us has not a hell of a lot to do with the Don IMO. We have the WEF and agenda 2030 to blame but all the music & BS talk in the world won’t save us from that. Unfortunately. We deserve what we tolerate. Cheers !
Great documentary about Australian rock, brings in a whole new dynamic and deeper in depth understanding of the Australian rock scene and ACDC.. I’ve listen to and seen ACDC live in concert since I first heard them as a teenager in 1989...I knew there was a distinct Australian sound but never knew how fully it was with George and Harry’s songwriting and Albert Productions... you can still hear that Australian rock come thru to this day with bands like Amyl and the Sniffers... it is sac religious to say as an American but I have always preferred listening to Australian rock over American rock... 🤭
This is awesome.👏 I started watching and couldn’t stop. What a great history of music/ rock n roll. 👏 I’m 53 now and remember when I first heard AC / DC . In 1979. Highway to Hell. Bought it at Kmart just because the cover of the lp said “ this album rocks” and I’ve been a fan ever since.
@@karmicselling4252 yes sir. I’m glad I got to see them in 1996. With all original members except ( Bon Scott) But Brian was the best replacement they could’ve ever gotten. One of the best concerts I’ve ever seen. I’ve been to a lot of concerts. I don’t go anymore. Concerts just aren’t the same nowadays. Too many cell phones taking all the mystique out of the show. Plus they are so expensive. Thank you. 🤘
Never been a superfan but I could not stop watching this great documentary as a showcase of how honesty, remaining authentic and down to earthness makes the difference, Ted Albert is a true Hero.
A close friend of mine once said, "Whenever I hear or see AC/DC, I always think of you." Still my favourite rock n roll band, have all their albums, and still listen to their music today.
i loved this documentary on my favorite band ACDC it had me in tears and laughter im in my 50s now and have been listening to ACDC for 45 year's and wont stop. but if it wasnt for Albert recording studio and we wouldnt even herd of ACDC.
Absolutely essential documentary to celebrate the brilliance and foresight of Ted Albert and his "family" that brought Aussie rock and classic pop music to the world. May God bless you and RIP Ted, Malcolm, Bon and George and as RabidSnot below has already pointed out. This is stuff of legends.
Harnessing the live power of Accas....Angels...Tatts etc in a small studio and achieve the kick ass quality of sound that Ted and the engineers at Alberts' did was magic/genius,and anything but easy.This was pre-internet and that 'Albert's Sound' alone turned Oz punters and the world onto Australian Rock. Ted Albert.. true Aussie Legend.❤
Fantastic doco! Thanks for posting and putting it all together. Bloody brilliant. It has gotta be one of the most interesting things Iv'e ever watched on UA-cam!
Seen them at the Glasgow Apollo twice, 1st time was April 78 when they recorded if you want blood. Bon came on with the Scotland Football Strip, they never forgot their roots..what a gig, loads of clips on here..I was 14 and had school the next day lol..
I was 5years old maybe 6 And Highway to Hell was the Christmas music my momma would jam for us on the way to San Antonio from Austin .. back when Austin was Texan … This video was incredible and I can really appreciate “the long way to the top “ after watching this .. Childhood hero Angus Love him still to this day !! what a player !what a dude ! 🤘🤘cool to learn about this brothers and Australian Rock n roll
Thank you for this doc! Learned alot about the Young family and ausie sound!! Im a big fan of ac/dc esp. the Bon years Highway to hell is a 12 out of 10 album and just a corker! Cheers!
ACDC the best rock band to come out in Australia they are a much loved band by me personally and by their diehard fans worldwide ROCK ON ACDC YOU'RE THE BEST!👿🤘🏿🤟🏿😃
INXS is arguably better, depends on your taste. Me personally I think it’s Cold Chisel but the Americans didn’t embrace them but songs such as shipping steel, khe-sahn, flame trees, working class man and the iconic When The War is Over….. unbelievably good music.
@@iamthebroker Never liked inxs as that's not the sound I like now if we're talking The Angels The brilliant DOC NEESON RIP MATE now that's the rockband I love never thought gleeson who took over from Neeson was right for the band as his band SCREAMING JETS I think, he screams too much but that's my opinion of course,
@ShaneMclane-PrivateEye no one listening to the radio for example and now days kids listen to hip-hop they never been in a coliseum watching a rock band live
In 2000 I met Angus Young in an absolutely empty bar in Melbourne; well, apart from my date at the time. I had never been into AC/DC, although I loved heavy metal, let alone knew what he looked like. Guess that had been my thing; Anthrax, Metallica, Megadeath and also a bit of Iron Maiden. Therefore, I had no clue who he was. He heard my accent, 'Scottish'. Was very repectful and didn't want to infringe, but we chatted to him for a while. Still kick myself that I didn't recognise him, but maybe that's the only reason he chatted in the first place.
The power, fun, and sheer “authenticity “( thanks Angry Anderson) took over here in Australia and eventually the world. Thanks to all involved for your grit and confidence in the band.😊
Had no idea Albert’s was such an integral part of the music scene. Because of them, the Aussie legacy continues with bands like the ubiquitous Men At Work, Midnight Oil, and to a certain extent, Wolf Mother and Silver Chair. Good on ya, Diggers! 👍😎
Let there be rock & jailbreak those songs are hard-wired into my being, i turn 60 next week..still get goosebumps everytime i hear them..what a time growing up in the 70s in Australia acdc in someway shaped part of who i am❤
My first knowledge of this band being a very young kid was watching them play Baby Please Don't Go on Countdown here in Oz. Was blown away. So jelly of all the people who waltzed down to the local pub to watch em play.
Waiting For A Train was thankfully played by BBC R1 in England every day during the summertime in 1983.. Dunno if it made the charts but it fitted in & it’s still in my library 😁👍
For me ACDC was always first and foremost loud Rock'n'Roll band. The have distinct sound that cannot be imitated. You hear them and you know right away this is ACDC. Great documentary with some surprising nuggets. Flash in the Pan was Malcom's and Angus' brother. I had no idea about his influence.
Great documentary on the many bands out of Australia trying to make it big under the tutelage of Ted Albert, George and Harry. What a wonderful mentor Ted Albert was. He died way too young at 53. Besides being a huge ACDC fan, I always loved the song Love is in the Air. I had no idea George and Harry wrote it, and I had no idea Ted Albert was behing the movie Strictly Ballroom. I highly recommend the movie if you haven't seen it.
As a West Australian, I grew up just down the road from where AC/DC first started and followed them all around Australia attending their gigs in all the little backwater Towns and Pubs through the 70's right through to their massive stadium concerts in the 2000's. There's a statue of Bon Scott in Fremantle, a Port town just out of Perth Western Australia and have also been to Bon Scott museum exhibitions where was able to read letters that he wrote to his Mum and different girlfriends when he first went to London, including Pam herself.......who was obviously the one to provide many of her personal letters for the exhibition. An absolute local legend here who has been immortalised into Australian popular culture. The Angels were the next ban to take me through the rest of my teenage years following bands around pubs and towns until my late 20's, getting to meet the band members many times, and even had the opportunity to see Doc Neeson one last time at a private gig only weeks before he died 😢
Yes grew up in the early seventies and saw ACDC for the first time at of all places Camberwell Civic Centre in 73 here in Melbourne and this isn't unusual considering that they played anywhere when they were trying to get themselves heard and on the map ! I consider myself lucky as lm sure all my friends of the day do that l grew up during this time as anyone will tell you the booze and blues 70s was a hell of a ride for anyone who experienced it ! Unfortunately it was also a violent era with never a dull moment but that aside to be able to experience all these great bands is something l will always treasure ! Good luck to everybody still with us !!
Watched for the memories! I was more of a Led Zeppelin, Rush, Rainbow, Sabbath fan in the 70’s and 80’s but boy could AC/DC Rick!! Where wasWhole lotta Rosie?? My favourite!! Rock on!! 🤘
it's 2025 and AC/DC is still ROCKIN they took a dip in the 80s but still standing in the 90s and on great Rock n Roll band just turn it on 10 and go 😅 Crazy 🤪
Nice to hear and see the Real Deal as And America patriot I Appreciate the REAL 🇺🇸 Thank you to the Albert Family For helping create and giving those young people the opportunity to Make that sound to all that have left us thank you we miss you 🎸
What a fantastic documentary credit to all involved in the making of this i first saw AC/DC at Newcastle Mayfair with Bon Next year if I remember this right. The concert was cancelled due to a fire I got tickets to the rescheduled gig Evie was played and the crowd went wild few months later I bought the sounds magazine Bon was gone x
I lived in Penrith in the 70s and Mount Druitt shopping centre had rose tattoo or the angels and other artists playing and when John Paul Young went on stage everyone threw bottles at him. Long live rock and roll.
Thank You Albert's, the True Founder, Inventor & Creator of 0ne Man's Dream being Driven by a Belief & His BURNING Internal Fire of Showing True Grit Australian Rock n Roll & Our Unique Australian Music Sound Out Into the World. Cementing It's Rightful Place in History FOREVER. Right From the Start He Could See the Place & Talent in The Musical Style Coming from Young Brothers That Would Grow into Becoming the Legendary AC⚡️DC Who ARE & Will Be (Arguably Some would Say) By Far The BEST Rock n Roll Band & Sound EVER, Their Music & Songs Will Continue To Be Heard, Played, Known, Enjoyed & REMEMBERED By ALL People Around the World 0ne Generation After Another, NOT Just for a Decade, Not for a Millennia BUT Throughout TIME, Space the Universe & Beyond FOREVER. Written In the Great Lyrics of Their Song "Let There Be ROCK" In the Beginning....back in 1955.... . Man Didn't Know About that Rock n Roll Show & All That Jive ..... It Was Said .... Let There Be Light, There Was LIGHT, Let There Be Sound .... There Was SOUND.... Rock n Roll Will LIVE Forever, Rock n Roll Will NEVER Die. and For Those Who Are YET To Rock We SALUTE You. To The GREAT AC⚡️DC Thank YOU We ALWAYS Will.
Rest in Peace Ted Albert, Bon Scott, Malcolm Young, George Young and all the others that made this an excellent story of Australian Rock N Roll. since 1976 I've been listening to AC/DC and I'm still listening almost 50yrs later.

🇦🇺 thanks for the greatest band ever. No one is even close to AC/DC. hi from 🇫🇮.
Yes, but horrible to hear AI doc voice😡.
AC DC is forever.
Simply an awesome rock n roll story..in the sound if pure hard rock! Love it❤
One of the best ROCK & ROLL BANDS EVER AC DC
Kids now days have no clue what they missed out on
You can still listen to the exact same songs. How'd they miss out?
@ShaneMclane-PrivateEye no one listening to the radio for example and now days kids listen to hip-hop they never been in a coliseum watching a rock band live
@serget2168 WRONG
i saw them at the box hill town hall in 1976( or 75), when i was a kid. And theyve been special ever since.
I used to walk 5km barefoot to school back in the olden days. These kids don't know how good they've got it!!!!
In 2000 I met Angus Young in an absolutely empty bar in Melbourne; well, apart from my date at the time. I had never been into AC/DC, although I loved heavy metal, let alone knew what he looked like. Guess that had been my thing; Anthrax, Metallica, Megadeath and also a bit of Iron Maiden. Therefore, I had no clue who he was. He heard my accent, 'Scottish'. Was very repectful and didn't want to infringe, but we chatted to him for a while. Still kick myself that I didn't recognise him, but maybe that's the only reason he chatted in the first place.
So how do you know it was him? At what point did you realise?
Angus isn't known as a drinker or live in Australia.
WOW.. Thanks, Ted...OZ ROCK..soundtrack of my life...Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap...Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi
The power, fun, and sheer “authenticity “( thanks Angry Anderson) took over here in Australia and eventually the world. Thanks to all involved for your grit and confidence in the band.😊
Ive liked AC/DC since I first heard them in the 80s and I had no idea they were Australian. Really good documentary. \m/
Finding out about the roots of the Young family, and Ted Alberts was amazing, very cool documentary.
"No one attacks a guitar like an Australian". Thanks for the vid, lads. (Big Angus fan. Would love to hear from Malcolm too). All the best
I hope one day someone makes a movie about AC/DC !
I can't wait. AC/DC forever❤
Hehehe, we just watched it.
They probably will and it will probably suck like all rock band movies do.
AC/DC, The Angels, Rose Tattoo.....loved them since I was a kid! Oz rock forever, forever Oz rock!
Australian music owes Ted a massive debt of gratitude. He knew what he wanted and nothing got in his way to achieve it.
Rest in peace Ted Albert.
Had no idea Albert’s was such an integral part of the music scene. Because of them, the Aussie legacy continues with bands like the ubiquitous Men At Work, Midnight Oil, and to a certain extent, Wolf Mother and Silver Chair. Good on ya, Diggers! 👍😎
Great documentary. Great family.
Wonderful video. I always loved the AC/DC group , but i didn't know this interesting story of the previous group The Easybeats. Thanks. so much
Австралийская музыкальная сцена всегда была наполнена талантами, да что скрывать - и офигенными бриллиантами !🎉
И один из них потрясюще харизматичный Бон Скот
@АлександрЧеркасов-д1б Да, Бон пожалуй лучший чувак рок-н-ролла.
@@АлександрЧеркасов-д1бБон Скот форевер!!!!
Let there be rock & jailbreak those songs are hard-wired into my being, i turn 60 next week..still get goosebumps everytime i hear them..what a time growing up in the 70s in Australia acdc in someway shaped part of who i am❤
I grew up in the 80s. Great time to be alive. Sooo many awesome bands.
I started to play drums in my ten years listening my first album AC/DC live at donington.Thats it.A thunder ⚡ hit all my bones
My first knowledge of this band being a very young kid was watching them play Baby Please Don't Go on Countdown here in Oz.
Was blown away.
So jelly of all the people who waltzed down to the local pub to watch em play.
Indeed, that performance is burned into the brains of tens of thousands of Australians. Thanks Molly!
Waiting For A Train was thankfully played by BBC R1 in England every day during the summertime in 1983.. Dunno if it made the charts but it fitted in & it’s still in my library 😁👍
For me ACDC was always first and foremost loud Rock'n'Roll band. The have distinct sound that cannot be imitated. You hear them and you know right away this is ACDC. Great documentary with some surprising nuggets. Flash in the Pan was Malcom's and Angus' brother. I had no idea about his influence.
As a kid growing up in the 80s and 90s in Detroit, ACDC was easy to love.
Loved them the first time I heard them with Bon Scott in 1976. Outstanding
Why, that was two well spent hours! Thank you for sharing!
Great documentary on the many bands out of Australia trying to make it big under the tutelage of Ted Albert, George and Harry. What a wonderful mentor Ted Albert was. He died way too young at 53. Besides being a huge ACDC fan, I always loved the song Love is in the Air. I had no idea George and Harry wrote it, and I had no idea Ted Albert was behing the movie Strictly Ballroom. I highly recommend the movie if you haven't seen it.
Superb documentary. ACDC forever!
As a West Australian, I grew up just down the road from where AC/DC first started and followed them all around Australia attending their gigs in all the little backwater Towns and Pubs through the 70's right through to their massive stadium concerts in the 2000's.
There's a statue of Bon Scott in Fremantle, a Port town just out of Perth Western Australia and have also been to Bon Scott museum exhibitions where was able to read letters that he wrote to his Mum and different girlfriends when he first went to London, including Pam herself.......who was obviously the one to provide many of her personal letters for the exhibition.
An absolute local legend here who has been immortalised into Australian popular culture.
The Angels were the next ban to take me through the rest of my teenage years following bands around pubs and towns until my late 20's, getting to meet the band members many times, and even had the opportunity to see Doc Neeson one last time at a private gig only weeks before he died 😢
Fascinating! A great watch. Thank you!
Yes grew up in the early seventies and saw ACDC for the first time at of all places Camberwell Civic Centre in 73 here in Melbourne and this isn't unusual considering that they played anywhere when they were trying to get themselves heard and on the map ! I consider myself lucky as lm sure all my friends of the day do that l grew up during this time as anyone will tell you the booze and blues 70s was a hell of a ride for anyone who experienced it ! Unfortunately it was also a violent era with never a dull moment but that aside to be able to experience all these great bands is something l will always treasure ! Good luck to everybody still with us !!
Watched for the memories! I was more of a Led Zeppelin, Rush, Rainbow, Sabbath fan in the 70’s and 80’s but boy could AC/DC Rick!! Where wasWhole lotta Rosie?? My favourite!! Rock on!! 🤘
Awesome doco. So much good stuff in this. Thanks
Superb documentary 💯🤘👌
Australia 4.4 billion years old. We know ROCK!
Fantastic doc, thx lads and ladies. AC/DC 🖤
it's 2025 and AC/DC is still ROCKIN they took a dip in the 80s but still standing in the 90s and on great Rock n Roll band just turn it on 10 and go 😅 Crazy 🤪

Thank you to the Albert Family
For helping create and giving those young people the opportunity to Make that sound to all that have left us thank you we miss you 🎸
What a fantastic documentary credit to all involved in the making of this i first saw AC/DC at Newcastle Mayfair with Bon
Next year if I remember this right. The concert was cancelled due to a fire I got tickets to the rescheduled gig Evie was played and the crowd went wild few months later I bought the sounds magazine Bon was gone x
I lived in Penrith in the 70s and Mount Druitt shopping centre had rose tattoo or the angels and other artists playing and when John Paul Young went on stage everyone threw bottles at him. Long live rock and roll.
God bless Australia! 🥹 I miss it.
JPY not a very good match.
Awesome!! What a success story. Can't wait to see it for myself in April.
Fantastic documentary! Rock on 🤘
Amazing storytelling, thank you!
I used to play gigs In Sydney, where Stevie's sister would attend. So many stories...
Amazing, my music and the musik of many generations ❤
Bei jedem Heimspiel von st.pauli wird zum Beginn die hymne gespielt 😂

Bon - forever in our hearts.
Bon - The "soul" of AC/DC.
