Billy who? just looked his playing up, its nothing like Young not a bit. Visually Angus is a more captivating showman then Jimmy Page and Jimmy Hendrix...when this number rolls in as he runs across the stage as if electrocuted is a one in a lifetime experience that only one word can describe -OUTRAGEOUS
The beauty of AC/DC is that every member knew their spot and stayed in it, their music is fairly simple, but it sounds fucking awesome. Also helped that they were all incredible musicians in their own right. Perfectly tight rhythm section, Bon Scott was a master frontman, and Angus is just an absolute monster with his endless energy and bluesy playing
It isnt Brian's fault Bon died he came in and was a powerhouse up until 1988 when he blew his vocal chords but he still has alot of power in his voice even tho he is old
ACDC was my 1st concert ever!! Bon Angus Phil Malcomb and Mark at Festival Hall Brisbane in 1976. They played with Supernaut and the Stars for $10.10 !! Which was a promotional gig for the Ipswich radio station 4IP (1010 on the dial) Now iam old...lol...but learning to play thunderstruck finally :)
I saw them live less than a year after this was filmed. I was 17 then and have seen many, many live shows since then. Nothing has EVER topped that show I saw so long ago. Their energy was off the charts! The highlight was Bon hoisting Angus onto his shoulders and carrying him out into a crowd of 40,000 people while he soloed.
Look at Phil Rudd behind the drums, the guy is a machine! Angus rocking it like a maniac and it seems to me that Bon is drunk off his ass. :D I was barely a year old when this was filmed, wish I had a time machine so I could go back to the seventies and see them live with Bon...
When i was a kid AC/DC were my band. I had the albums, the t-shirts. I had the denim jacket with ac/dc and angus painted on the back. I even painted the highway to hell cover on my Jacket! I loved AC/DC. I'm 53 now and i still love them. They were my first introduction to music and i love them just as much now as i did all the way back in the 70's.
Me too. My first album was the Australian version of High Voltage. I got it for Christmas in 1980. I didn’t stop until I bought every Bon Scott album I could find. My room had countless pictures of them. I listened to them constantly. Saw them many times live. 41 years later, I am still looking them up on UA-cam. In my opinion, they are just as good as Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Chuck Berry, and Ten Years After. They are one of the greats. A truly legendary Rock N Roll band.
Yeh, it is. The credits use part of his real name. His full name which he has shortened is Phillip Hugh Norman Witschke Rudzevecuis. The credits list him as Phillip Witschke.
@@favorites51066 I’m not a kid, I know what he does is not easy. That’s why I love listening to his music. Because he makes it look so easy to a lot of people but it’s not. In the words of Scott Ian “people say AC/DC sounds real simple but try playing it right is my challenge to everyone.” So of course I know it’s not easy. So I’m not a kid I’m not ignorant about it. I know more about them than most people should, I know that there is a version of back in black with Bon on vocals (the songs he did write) such as shake a leg, you shook me all night long and let me put my love into you and have a drink on me. But it wasn’t released because we all know what happened. So they re did the songs with Brian on vocals. I know they say otherwise in documentaries? But I happen to know somebody who is close with somebody in the band, and they tell me everything before hand. I’m not going to specify who, I know you don’t believe me and I don’t care, but I am the one who speaks to them. And they’ve been proven right. I got a letter from Brian in the mail with his autograph on it a week after I sent a letter to the person for him. The person I talk too? She’s related to the band is all I can say.
I'm not saying that Axl rose sucks. But this is when acdc was the best. I wish I was born when Bon Scott was alive. I think I'll just stay with the older acdc tunes.
@@zellah I was 6 years old in 1979 and growing up as a DJ'S son i got to listen to a lot of ac/dc and Bon Scott is by far the best singer not to take anything from Brian which is a damn good singer but Axl Rose is not a good singer and to me is bringing AC/DC down. I bet Bon is up there thinking WTF???
I saw them at the tangerine bowl in Orlando in 79 we were right up at the stage front I was 10 at the time and hon was just electric he was something special
@@SirSSau Haven't they all got "Overdose"? Or do you mean "Crabsody in Blue"? My preferred version is the one without "Problemchild", with "Crabsody..." instead. It was the first LP I bought myself with my own money as a kid in the early 80's and I couldn't have been more lucky!
These guys are just seriously legends. They are legends of rock, they are legends of their era, they are legends of all the youth who just struggled to make a go of things. Thank you ACDC.
hard to believe this was 45 years ago -almost half a century later and it's still as fresh as the day it was recorded! Today's bands need to take note! This is how ya rock!
As a 31 yr old in 2021 I look at my gen and say damn our noise ain't shit compared to this music. R.I.P Bon and Malcom, gone but absolutely not forgotten.
Yes & I could tell as soon as the band started playing that this was missing Phil Rudd's groove. Not dissing the guy on the drums but it's not Phil Rudd.
All of them so immersed in their own part, yet together the music sound so incredibly alive and just as a real rock band should sound like. There will never be a AC/DC again. Forever thankful.
I really like how Angus would play the less precise rhythm part and Malcom had the razor sharp perfection approach. It really created the sound. I forget just how good Angus was back in the day. What a real player!
@@fin78_ I read an interview with Angus 2+ decades ago where he said that Malcolm was as good as he was or better playing leads, that Malcolm could do his part of the live show but he(Angus) could not do Malcolm's part. Aka, the solid, right hand of god rhythm guitar part of the AC/DC sound. Angus claims that leads are the easiest part of what he does because that's where he started when learning guitar. It's usually the other way around I think, I know it was when I was learning to play 30 years ago, which coincidentally happened to be me self teaching by learning to play AC DC songs. I still think it's a good way to learn guitar. You learn all the basics from ACDC songs and many are within a beginner's grasp which helps keep one motivated if they like the music. I was an AC DC fan from the time I was a small child in the early 1980s and even more so when I started learning guitar in 1988. But back to the original topic, just because I could play ACDC songs early on doesn't mean I played them correctly. I don't think anyone can play Malcolm's Rhythm Parts like he played them. I'm sure the greats can get close but never duplicate the right hand attack.
In 1977 Im 64 now, I loaded my old Dodge up with my crew including my now dead bro, and drove from central :PA, to Cleveland at a bar/club cant remember the name now. It was a total blast as AC/DC was my bros fav band. Several of the guys were under age but the door guys were cool with it after a small tip. My bro was so geeked that he saw them live, it was early on the band wasnt that well known yet, best time ever. Thx to all he got to see one of his fav bands bfor he checked out
It is 2021. This performance was filmed 43 years ago. AccaDacca are still going strong, albeit older, greyer, Mal and Bon have left to play metal in hell ( can't be in heaven). They have outlasted musical movements like the romantics, punks and the synthesiser pop bands to pulverise the brains of a new generation of metal heads. AccaDacca for ever!
Phill is just killing it tight as hell on the skins wow and Malcolm with amazing rhythm and cliff just hitting the g string like crazy what a masterpiece
My God were these guys totally possessed by rock n roll energy back then. I saw the If You Want Blood concert doc at a small movie theater in my town in 1981 or 82, it was a beautiful old-fashioned theater with a great sound system and they blew out the speakers at the end but still a great time. I got to see AC/DC 4 times in the 80's and what an insane show each time. Ive never seen a musician more possessed by their instrument and vice versa than Angus. Even after all these years, still the greatest meat and spuds rock band ever.
Best song ever, see how small the crowd was back then. That was probably some small pub in Sydney... all of the faces in absolute astonishment. Love it... Melting faces from 1973
OZ ROCK there & dusted!!!! I love how near the end Malcolm looks over at Angus and you can see in his eyes he's saying Bro...where the hell did that come from?!!! PURE PERFECTION!!! :)
Theres a reason cameras on phil a lot during this. This is one of the hardest songs to drum to properly because of the stamina and energy you need. Phil has it on lock and doesnt miss a beat. I wouldnt last a minute playing as hard as he does
In an interview, Bon Scott was asked about Kiss and Bon asked " What was the Bass Player's Name?" Truly Awesome. It was mid 1970's.Kiss were not yet well known.
Find it hard to agree- I drum along to ACDC all the time and I find more often than not that Phil gets out of time with me very quickly.. In fact the whole band does. they need to tighten up!!
+Linda De Jongh If that's German ur speakin.. Could ya please refrain? Cuz that's the sexiest language in the whole fn world..!! But I'm sure ya knew that.
Phil Rudd is a monster on those drums!😮
Oh man what is this monster like🤣🤣🤣
Angus' energy is amazing!!

@Punk Fun Dam right
Angus Young, the hardest working guitarist in rock history. How he can move at all today is a miracle.
A full body heave set to music, and drug free. He loved chocolate believe it or not with a banquet of cocaine back stage, every night.
@@tb9489 he smokes alot. But its all the performances that kept him fit. Move it or lose it.
All that work and movement is the reason he's still going. How can couch potatoes never learn that?
Is there anyone who even comes close?
LAME!!!
Malcolm just hammering one chord over and over again still sounds better than 99% over other music ever written.
Malcom was the best rhythm guitar player of all time! R.I.P
Haha yep
And he did it damn well too
....Never gonna be the same without him ..RIP Malcolm Young
Malcolm is one of my Guitar Gods!
He was
Just
F'ing
GOOD!
The best rhythm player EVER!
Tighter than the women's Chess Club President.
Yes.
It blows people’s minds that angus young was sober as a bird his entire career! 🤣 just a natural born talent for the business of Rock n Roll.
How do we know if he was sober or not tho
@@trckenergyy7757 He drinks chocolate milk. Mal had alcohol problem, sadly.
@@Benkei978 explain Keith Richards and Ozzy…
@@trckenergyy7757 Angus is a teetotaler and his consumption of choice was typically chocolate bars, tea or chocolate milk.
Pretty cool didn't know that fact! Also shows his balls because he called a lot of bands and had no problem backing his words
Bon Scott's voice was PERFECT for hard rock! NOBODY has a high pitched raspy voice like his.
Brian has an even powerful voice....And Axl Rose....that man's a freakin' machine
Well it is Great but Rob Halford of Judas Priest is good at highs but there is other questions regaurding tatt i hear.
@@brianbirc - Brian has a raspy voice but not high pitched. Halford has a high pitched voice, but not raspy. Reading is fundamental.
@@madmaxmusic7132 how about Axl Rose??
@@rohnakp2396 - Axl destroyed his career. Not a fan.
Magnificent! I love that the crowd hold up beer cans and not Phones!
Oops ! Sorry , I've just posted that without reading your comment first .
My thoughts exactly 🤘back when rock n roll was king and it was about the music not fame 🤘🤘
Bro it’s 1978
Because phones didn't exist
best observation and comment for best gig ever
These guys were in a class all to their own. No one played or sang like AC/DC.
+Jackie Phillips They had their own genre
I agree. Ahead of their time.
Accept sounds like them look them up
Angels
I totally agree. My next guitar. Sg
The beauty of AC/DC is that every member knew their spot and stayed in it, their music is fairly simple, but it sounds fucking awesome. Also helped that they were all incredible musicians in their own right.
Perfectly tight rhythm section, Bon Scott was a master frontman, and Angus is just an absolute monster with his endless energy and bluesy playing
The perfect machinery 🔥
Absolutely 💯
For real. Its almost impossible for any tribute band to do them justice. You just cant replicate that energy.
They’re best talent as a band was timing and groove.
Great Comment !
This is the real AC/DC!
Aint that the truth
Of course
It isnt Brian's fault Bon died he came in and was a powerhouse up until 1988 when he blew his vocal chords but he still has alot of power in his voice even tho he is old
So true. I have some acdc action figures at home and they are nothing like the real thing
40 years now and I still call Brian Johnson the new guy.
If you look closely Phil actually times his breathing to the drum beat.
The absolute unit.
He’s a machine!!
And to think people (me) still cranking this awesome music, no other bands can last decades
Angus is like a prize fighter. Completely relentless. The energy coming of the entire band is insane. AC/DC at their peak.
Cocaine.
i see what you did there!
Possibly the greatest 7 mins in rock history. Bon is God!
I'm not sure those kids knew exactly what they were watching but they knew they liked it..
ACDC was my 1st concert ever!!
Bon Angus Phil Malcomb and Mark at Festival Hall Brisbane in 1976.
They played with Supernaut and the Stars for $10.10 !!
Which was a promotional gig for the Ipswich radio station 4IP (1010 on the dial)
Now iam old...lol...but learning to play thunderstruck finally :)
Just listen the energy and speed of this song. I got this clocking in around 200 bpm. That’s Ramones territory.
Close but The Ramones rarely went over 180. Awesome text
Funny you said that,AC/DC were once labeled ‘punk’...and other things
@@thomasfarmer1730 More like pre-punk garage rock blues band on speed. 😈
Ramones territory, but for nearly 3x as long 😆
@@RxDg9496 That's value for your money right there.
Dang look at Phil go, he's so into it that he doesn't even bother to look up while playing!!!
Probably because he's focusing on not having his right arm fall off 😂😂
i think he opens and closes his mouth on beat to stay on beat lmao
@@theseagullthatcould5698 thats what most drummers do... they are counting

Sounds like same show at Rockford speedway in Illinois of oct. 79.
Did that on the ‘79 Monsters of Rock Day on the Green show.
Epic.
Yup, same here. Going through the crowd with angus on bons shoulders. In Albuquerque in 1979.
and the music was good and the music was loud
as i turned n said to the crowd
LET THERE BE ROCK...OWWWWWWWWAH!

And people knew how to rock!!

Phil was and still is, for me the greatest drummer of all times.
For me it is Phil and Jason Bonham. Different styles to be sure, but damn it just grabs you

This is hardly HARD ROCK music & not good enough to be thorough as of being METAL!!
LAME!!!

In Phil we trust,
It's Rudd or bust!

Well, he got it back!

Phil is a drum machine.
ok,i just watched this killer video and i was writing dat,Phil is.......you know,sad for new Angus band with Axl and no drummer at all
Penrith Towing Service / Towie yes it is, you can tell even if you couldn't see him.

For those confused by Phils long name credit. that's his real name, and it is him playing drums.
Even Malcolm is pounding so hard he's pouring sweat, classic.

Someone should dissect the master tapes and isolate various band members. Wouldn't that be some ear candy?

Saw AC/DC in 78-79 not sure in Milwaukee riverside theater- they were the back up back for ufo! Totally blew them away!
Bin Scott carried him on his shoulders up and down the isles
All of them so immersed in their own part, yet together the music sound so incredibly alive and just as a real rock band should sound like. There will never be a AC/DC again. Forever thankful.

Born in 68, missed out big time. Didn't see them till 81 back and black in a arena. I would of loved to see this show
Simply amazing. Bon was the best frontman ever, all of them was so full of energy, wonderful..
The energy these guys put out is just over the top. What an incredible legacy of the great AC/DC!
Everyone wants to be ACDC....today...but just watch Phil...looks as if he was put a gun to his head. Noone wanted to be Phil back then :)

OZ ROCK there & dusted!!!! I love how near the end Malcolm looks over at Angus and you can see in his eyes he's saying Bro...where the hell did that come from?!!! PURE PERFECTION!!! :)
AC/DC was rock and rock at that time. Their songs and playing were 100% original and no one came close.
Saw them in 1978 at the Morristown Theater in New Jersey. Opening for Savoy Brown. Everyone was there to see AC/DC. My metal chair was vibrating.
Good god, how many time have i seen/watched/heard this song?
AND IT NEVER GETS OLD!!!!
Bon Scott is also Fantastic!
Theres a reason cameras on phil a lot during this. This is one of the hardest songs to drum to properly because of the stamina and energy you need. Phil has it on lock and doesnt miss a beat. I wouldnt last a minute playing as hard as he does
ACDC infernal 🇧🇷👹🔥🎸🤘🏽🎤🥁👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
In an interview, Bon Scott was asked about Kiss and Bon asked " What was the Bass Player's Name?" Truly Awesome. It was mid 1970's.Kiss were not yet well known.
The greatest Rocking Roll Band in the world period.. Phil Rudd is a machine.. forever Young Malcolm and Angus Young R.I.P Bon Scott and Malcolm Young
Agree 100 %
Saw them in 78/79. Bon was the greatest
That bit at 1:56 when the camera pans around Phil drumming amps me up like fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Phil Rudd is an absolute machine! His groove is so tight nothing could get in.
Find it hard to agree- I drum along to ACDC all the time and I find more often than not that Phil gets out of time with me very quickly.. In fact the whole band does. they need to tighten up!!
@@LeadingEdgeFitness1 I feel as though this is bait..and I shall not go for it
@@davidguile2146 No David, it is merely an attempt at an amusing comment to say I cant drum in time
@@LeadingEdgeFitness1 the internet has made me overly cautious I fear. It went right over my head, my bad.
@@davidguile2146 No wukkas Dave. Better work on my comedy before I head for the stage.
When I was a boy, my father sat me down to listen to this song, after it finished, I arose as a fully grown man.
Phil Rudd, the best...
Foxy Snakepit ¿And Chris Slade?
Slade is good drummer but Phil knows how keep the rhythm, Phil is better for AC DC Phil is my favorite drummer he inspired me :)
Foxy Snakepit Steady as a Rudd
+Iván Lavigne Why do they call him Philip Witschke?
