- Our patrons always bring me the best music. This time, for my first time ever, I'll be listening to the legendary AC/DC in a live performance that is incredibly massive. I hear Brian Johnson has a lot of differences between him and Bon Scott, whom I plan to hear soon, and even then. . . AC/DC's sound is so legendary I'm bound to make it a part of my normal listening repertoire.
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to AC/DC for the first time, performing "Thunderstruck” Live at River Plate.

Written by Angus Young and Malcolm Young - Performed by AC/DC

how have you never heard of AVDC before
Ohh Liz, lovely Lady!
You still have some leaks...may to say so...😊
This ist the WC Final Stadium 1978 in Buenos Aires AR! Estadio Monumental (Antonio Vespucio Liberti)
I`m 50+ and from Vienna...but I`ve never, never seen (a full disk of this concert is available) an audiance great and rocking like this with so much respect, enthusiasm, and love! 🤘🤘
Another reference is aussie rock legend that is jimmy barnes who sang classic Australian song: working class man and duet with legendary singer Tina Turner with Simply the best. Holy crap what a song. Showing his range, cause now his sing the blues but he had cancel concert tour due to surgery of the spine and hip.
Notice how many young people are in the audience these are old guys from the '70s and '80s bringing in young people to listen in a sold out stadium
You should listen to when bon Scott was the singer in the beginning of AC/DC before his tragic death he was incredible
"I'm sick and tired of people saying that we put out 11 albums that sound exactly the same. In fact, we've put out 12 albums that sound exactly the same.“ - Angus Young
Was waiting to see that quote :)
Legends
To be fair, that’s because they had extra albums in Australia
If it's stupid and it works...it ain't stupid.
Jim Breuer might have a Christmas album Hookey Pokey... Shake! IT! Shake! IT! Shake! IT!
Brian Johnson spent many years preparing to become the lead singer for AC/DC by working in a Iron Mill, smoking pack after pack of cigarettes and downing thousands of pints of beer.
That's the kind of training you just can't get at Juliard.
Oh my goodness. This is hilarious, with hints of small truth to it.
Brian Johnson has never been a fav of mine as a singer, but as an interviewer/presenter he's magic.. However, this comment is outstanding !
He also sang for a pop rock band called “ Geordie” in about 1973/4. I saw them live at our local college!! Brian is a great guy and full of stories about other bands!!
@@malcshone4409 he also cut a hoover vacuum commercial the day he tried out for AC/DC in Lindon. you can find it on youtube, hysterical that he went to cut the commercial for 350 pounds and was more into that then the tryout since he thought he wouldn't get it
He turned down the ACDC tryout, because he couldn't afford the trip down to London. A couple of days later, he got the commercial in London and called the band back. It's almost like the universe has a plan.
I'm 471 years old and this is the best song I've heard in the last 350 years.
Is that you son?
Got you beat, but I get it. ;)
You're a Lestat time-frame. I'm more of a Marius time-frame. You'll get there, if they don't use nukes. Hang in there bro. We'll meet one day.
😅
This was, without doubt, hands-down the single greatest stadium concert opener ever written.
zero doubt
This is the music they're gonna play when they wheel be out at my funeral.
not the opener, but still fire! they opened with rock n roll train I think
This and Riff Raff. The latter wasn't played much during Brian's active years unfortunetely. Probalby because the solo is quite fast and maybe not something Angus can play anymore. Even Whole Lotta Rosie is giving him massive problems sometimes.
@@EbonyPopewell, I mean he IS like 150 in regular person years old. LOL For a rock star, he’s like 45, no? 😂
Someone once asked Angus how it felt to be the greatest guitar player on the planet and he replied "I'm not even the greatest guitar player in my family". Very humble.
Well Malcom is family... just an honest chap. :)
And John was the older brother that played bass for the Easy Beats
Monday I got Friday on my mind 🤘🏽
Yep, it was an interview with mojo magazine and they invited readers to send in questions, what a great response :-)
When asked if Ringo was the best drummer in the world, John Lennon replied he wasn’t even the best drummer in the Beatles.
All respect to Malcolm, but that's excessive modesty. No one can really be the best.
THat man is 73 years old and still sounds as good as that.... They are one of the most iconic bands of all time.
He can't sing anymore because he lost his hearing
@@melissastruxness512 he's actually back, he got cleared to sing
@@SugarcatPlays yes, he worked with a hearing specialist for a couple of years and he is hearing and singing again
nah hes 75 now and cleared for singing and a Geordie legend been listening to him for 5o y
IMO his voice was already shot by the time this album came out, he sounded a lot better on back in black, for those about to rock, and flick of the switch
Gets me every time, 16+ year old girls and boys rocking hard to a bunch of geriatrics (Brian was 62 years old here) Not bad Grandpa!!!!
Thank you ACDC for making my childhood awesome!
I am 64. 40 years I was a top trouble shooting technician, during which I also was a maintenance manager, parts procurer, acting production manager, lift truck trainer and authorized, IT troubleshooter, in house rigger, machinist and acting plant manager. The go to guy. Today I just am a line operator for a yogurt company. At my age I am still finding that I am the go to guy and also one of the best at my job even amongst way younger coworkers. So Brian being 62 here doing what he does is no surprise. We may be old but we are not dead. Time for the youth to step up to the plate and give it their best.
@@douglasernst9477 73 year old here. Rock is our music - we invented it, then we perfected it. But we aren't mean - the kids are welcome to come in and have fun too if they want.
I still remember the day and where I was when I heard this song first time after it came out. I was 13 and it shook me out for life.
43 yo woman here. Rock was and still is the best!
43 yo woman here. Rock was and still is the best!
I love how you're analytical and welcoming, without being quick to judge.
That's the positive mindset of an explorer.
The only bad thing about hearing this song for the first time... is you never get to hear it for the first time again. LOVE AC/DC
Right?! You only ever get one first time. Everything after that you just mutter to yourself, "Man, that was bad ass!"
So true. Lol
Damn, i know exactly what you mean.
Well I never got to hear them live before so I won't ever get to experience the first time.
First time I heard it was on the way to the office Christmas party. Got a ride with the manager who was very Public Radio and "Cool Jazz" at work; I was shocked when she asked if I had heard the new AC/DC. She cranked it, screaming the chorus and we blasted through a snowstorm to the party. We were all thunderstruck when we saw our $1000 Christmas bonus checks. ($300 the year before)
Eric Clapton once said to Angus Young at a party, that "all your songs are based on 3 chordes" Angus replied "Yes, but I know all 6". AC/DC still the greatest rock and roll band in the world even in their 60's
Reminds me of something I read years ago. George Thorogood was being interviewed by a reporter, I think just after his second album was released, about how he felt about his rise in popularity. George, always modest , said that he had a hard time understanding it . George said "I only know four chords, . . . . .but I know 'em cold !"
Eric who?
I think Led Zeppelin still holds that title .
And those "Senior Citizens" Just Rocked The Shit outa that huge venue.
@@hemihead001 Led Zeppelin wasn't a Rock and Roll band.
The crowds for those 3 nights at those concerts at River Platte should be in the rock n roll Hall of Fame! Legendary performances in front of a legendary crowd. Argentina is known for their love of rock n roll.
65,000 in attendance and three shows, that's almost 200,000 people!!!
Some buildings around the stadium actually had ruptures because of the jumping
Yes, this is the Blu-ray concert I have of AC/DC & was amazed at this South American's love, devotion & worship of this band AC/DC. AC/DC deserve it too. Brilliant rock band of all time. Australian too. Even though some are of Scottish origin, they lived & started in Australia. I think they epitomize Australian values, free & easy.
Wait until Elizabeth finds out you CAN do a rock and roll solo on the bagpipes in It's A Long Way To The Top. Mind Blown. RIP Bon Scott
that would be an excellent choice for a Bon song.
"Who would've thought you could rock solo bag pipes!"
*Jackal enters with a chainsaw* "That's nothing."
@@wildwillie5408 I'd like her to do night prowler best of Bon Scott
Or Whole Lotta Rosie
Would love to see her thoughts on the comparison of the two vocalists. In some ways they're very similar, but at times they sound nothing alike.
That concert was not just a one night crowed. The River Plate concert was three concerts and was recorded over the three nights. A crowd like that at one concert is impressive, to do that for three nights is pure insane in the greatest way.
When it comes to South America, they know how to fill up rock shows, some of the biggest shows were played there.
@@NecramoniumVideo Last week we filled the same stadium 10 times with Coldplay
@@lkellner1988 okay thats ridicoulus. Thats another level.... and I thought Rammstein filling the foro sol 3 nights despite being a german Band was impressive. But thats just absolutely crazy!
The River Plate Stadium holds 70,000+ just on the stands... If you add the pitch to that, it makes it almost 90,000+ deliriant rock fans chanting and jumping in unison as Argentinians usually do in their concerts...🤘
Soy uno de los afortunados que estuvo ahi una de esas 3 noches en el estadio de River Plate, causamos unos mini terremotos y algunas casas resultaron dañadas alrededor del estadio, puedo decir eso con cierto orgullo jajaja 🤘😎🍺
Pasaron mas de 10 años y no hay nada que se compare con esos shows en vivo!
I went yachting with a buddy. We picked a bad day. Storms on the horizon, risk of death, looking for a specific destination and couldn't find it for the weather. Full on rain in your face, 30 mph winds, loved every second of it. Then this came on the radio. Was perfect. Wouldn't trade it.
There will Never be an era of music like this. Digital music won’t let it!
Exactly.
First things first. R.I.P. Malcolm Young. One of if not the best rhythm guitarists of all time. Second. Your giggle when hearing these legendary vocalists belt out notes makes me smile. Third. The look of awe of your face as if you cannot believe what you are hearing coming out of their mouths is perfectly natural, because we lifelong fans had the same expression when we first heard Brian Johnson’s voice 40+ years ago.
Your so right! I freaked out when I head the very first AC/DC album...and dang if I wasn't hooked on them! I was in my early 20's back then, and at 65 years old, I still love them!
Bon Scott hooked me. What teenage boy in the 80s could resist the Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap album. Especially Big Balls which was played See. Everyone can be fast with math.ny pretty girls. Ride On was for those mellow times and the title song hit for those times when you knew you were going to do something you shouldn't.
@@Dragondoc4 Hearing Go Down for the first time hooked me, a friend challenged me to buy Let there be rock and tell him it was rubbish, I was blown away with the riff on Go Down, personally I sometimes find Brian's voice grating but I do like a lot of his songs.
Truth be told, Malcolm was the heart and soul. He was the main writer on almost all the songs. He told Angus, "You go do your school boy thing. I'm fine being in the back."
@@Dragondoc4 and the bagpipes in Its a Long way!! Had it cranked on my way home today!!! Love both Bon and Brian.
....58 years old, and when I see these tributes and reactions, I tear up because I grew with these awesome bands, and my heroes are all dying and fading away.....there will never be another time like the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's.....whew! What a ride!
I'm 59 and I feel exactly the same way
Me too. This & It's a Long Way to the Top.. make me tear up. All those memories plus the fact that Malcolm is gone now. They're all slowly dropping off their perches..
Glad we got to live it LIVE!!! 🤘🏻
I’m 55. I can relate. The soundtrack to our youth is unbeatable 😊
Sadly, we are slowly losing such great bands, that we'll never get again. All modern music seem to be manufactured & not made by true Artists like AC/DC.
I'm 72 yrs saw ACDC 8 times LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
So glad you noticed the stadium shaking when they hit the first "Thunder struck" and the crowd went wild. The first time I saw this I noticed that the camera view from the top of the stadium, was rock solid till they brought the chorus... then the whole screen started jumping in beat with the crowd. lol. The energy in that stadium must have been palpable. They were literally rocking the foundation of that place.
Actually...yeah.
Over the 3 nights of the concert, they were rocking so hard that they caused seismic damage to the stadium....and the surrounding buildings 🤘😎🤘.
Not a band alive that has as many songs that instantly make you want to crank the volume when you hear it as AC/DC does!!
I don't always listen to AC/DC, but when I do, my neighbours also listen to AC/DC.
One band alive does this, just a tiny bit more... Metallica
This song has to be enjoyed at a high enough volume to be FELT
@@TheGlock30owner Well technically Yes but they had to sell out in order to capture that market. Sadly I was done with that group around the Re-Load era and I remember them playing small venues during their Kill em all pre release days with Dave Mustain.
Iron Maiden does, and they still sound much better than AC/DC does live. Love AC/DC, but they sound horrible live and can't hold a match to Iron Maiden.
AC/DC Live At River Plate was recorded in Buenos Aires in December 2009 when nearly 200,000 fans (over 3 sold-out nights) thunderously welcomed AC/DC back after a 13-year absence from Argentina, but at an outdoor festival in Moscow, AC/DC played before an estimated crowd of over 1.5 million people, making it one of the largest rock shows in history.
I read somewhere a couple of days ago that it was 300k but still, loads of people lol
AC/DC at River Plate was goated
And yet no crowd or amount of people in any other place can compare to the Argentinian crowds. None.
And Brian Johnson pissed on Sputnik.
@@JasonConlan75No. River Plate holds 70k. The venue and the Argentine crowd are top tier.
probably one of the greatest bands to ever graces us with their music.
AC/DC nailed their sound almost from the start. They found their sweet spot and ran with it. They didn't follow trends, they didn't bow to the charts, they just did their thing and we loved them for it, album after album. And yeah, their concerts were massive.
"Oh my goodness, there are soo many people!" :-) Welcome to the world of AC/DC live. Imho the Greatest hard rock band of all time.
While I feel that anyone who hasn't listened to AC/DC led a deprived childhood, it is such a pleasure watching Elizabeth react to them for the first time. You can literally see her appreciation and enthusiasm for music grow.
She fakes it amazingly well. Love her act!
Since childhood is defined as the period between about 3 until 12-13 years old, I didn’t hear them in my childhood because they formed afterwards. Don’t worry, I grew up with Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.

She's definitely good at pretending she's never heard ac/dc lol
@@dragdive I absolutely buy it. I know lots of people her age and older who have likely never heard them.
The last time they toured Australia I was on a train filled with fans going to the venue, 18-20 year-olds on one side, 50-60 year-olds on the other, both groups in their AC/DC merch, looking at each in surprise. You could seem them all thinking "Why are you old/young people going to see my band?". it was hilarious.
Legendary band, with fans spanning generations.
Reminds me when I went to see Metallica for the first time as a 16 year old. On my way back home we saw a lot of 50 maybe even 60 year olds throwing horns at me. Felt so cool.
Excellent observation... No other band spans generations like AC/DC. Ive seen 7 year olds and 70 year olds at the same show. Still get chills
We old f's schooled em right!
I've been listening to AC/DC since I was a young teen. I'm 51 now and while these songs are classic they are timeless! Loved your reaction.
Young looking 51. Beautiful
@@enriquemedina7151 , thanks! I try taking care of myself, but being a natural redhead is the secret. We have good skin... sensitive but it ages well.
I’m also 51, my mom wouldn’t let us listen to AC/DC in our house, someone told her it meant “After Christ/Devil Comes” lol
@@DPRyan-vd5pp , same! Are you from the South? 😂
I met them when i was five, Malcolm, Angus, and Phil. They were recording at Bryan Adams studio in Vancouver and my father was a diehard fan, we went and waited outside the studio two days in a row and the second day a security guard came out and told my parents that I could go in and meet the band, it was surreal. I got autographs and pictures which were lost through out the years, but as we were leaving, Phil runs out and hands my father sticks complimenting little me. 17 years later, i still own those drumsticks.
I got to see them twice in concert, Black Ice and Rock or Bust and both concerts they played thunderstruck, which is such an experience to have at 5 and 13. The first concert, Angus only had to start the first chord and people realized what the song was, the second concert it took people a minute but the second it starts, everyone in the room knows their part to play. 45,000 people doing that intro is something else in person.
Congrats on those sticks, that’s something awesome. 😎
RIP Malcom, probably the best rock rhythm guitarist there ever was. Glad I got to see them live.
truth
Agree 100%
First song I saw live at a big venue. 14 years old at checkerdome. Eye opening experience. Couldn't ask for better song to break my cherry on big shows.
@@danjenkins9417
The bell coming down for hells bells got me the first time I saw them. Amazing!.
@@eatmoreporkporky4342 hells bells Bells intro is EPIC
That move of Angus is his emulation of Chuck Berrie's duck walk. I also love how the whole stadium pulses as if it is one organism.
i did not know that thanks bro I thought it was his move
@@ironman211dr It his signature move, He based it on CB but didn't steal it, there are big differences.
Successful
Only Angus can move like that
Yep very true. Angus Young said so himself in an interview back in the early 90s
This song, and Welcome to the Jungle, was what we played in the football locker room during two a days. Our coaches hated it, and we had to turn it down when they came in, but it definitely wakes you up fully and gets you pumped for a long long morning!
I don't think anyone has ever compared AC/DC to Bach before...love it. And I really loved your facial expression of pure glee when the guitar line sank in. And the singing during the intro - that's the crowd...60,000 or so backup singers. And...make sure you listen to 'It's A Long Way to the Top (if You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll). It has their original singer, Bon Scott...and a bagpipe solo.
I love Brian's regular speaking voice. Low, growly, and full of British sayings. I remember him on top gear, they asked him "how are you brian" and he said "I'm fit as a butcher's dog!"
"me son". Dude's a legend.
and he's a hell of a driver!
Brian being a typical Northerner / Geordie!
I'm 62 and I saw ACDC when I was a teenager and they were a pub band. It was when Bon Scott was the lead singer and we were in a very small room. Bon was like a sprinkler, there was sweat flying everywhere lol. Its an experience I'll never forget, they are an amazing band and they're so so humble. UA-cam can be a very negative space but when it comes to acdc its rare to see negative comments.
There's NOTHING like the Bon days. I think Brian has done a great job but there's nothing like the early AC/DC.
My opinion!
It’s hard to be negative about AC/DC. Their music is catchy and fun. They are one of the few bands to make hits across multiple decades and 2 different front men. But the biggest thing is that they don’t give any reason for people to hate them. I don’t remember ever hearing about them acting like assholes. I have no idea what their political or religious beliefs are. The only band drama that you ever hear about is bon Scott’s passing throwing the band into disarray.
I’m sure if I dug into it, I could find it, but there just isn’t any outward displays of drama and chaos that you would associate with a metal band. They just go out there with the intention of entertaining their audience as they have for decades. Also, continuing to rock first with bons passing then more recently Malcolm’s, makes them very sympathetic characters.
@@hokaloah100 I agree.
I think Dave Evans was the best singer AC/DC had only because he was born in the same street I was
@@stephendavies8607 I've not heard of Dave Evans, when was he singing with them?
The single biggest bands to ever come out of Australia, not to mention THE band that personifies Classic Rock!! Absolute LEGENDS!! And Brian is the second lead singer.
Im 33.
thank you for this journey back in time and rediscovering all these epic bands. this time with a little more awareness
Thunderstruck is, was, and always will be a headbanger of a song.
Long live AC/DC.
No way this is their first time hearing this song. It’s everywhere.
Great hype song
Angus' skip-strut is his own twist on Chuck Berry's "Duck Walk". This man loves performing. Very quiet, private, not "rock-starry" behavior offstage, but a total wild man while playing. Brian had a really cool TV special, in which he hung out with Robert Plant, the members of Pink Floyd, Metallica, and Def Leppard, and you get to see what they are like as "real people".
and Elizabeth might have seen it in "Back to the Future" when Michael J Fox duck walks on stage at the High School Prom.
Absolutely
@@markadams3976 Truth
What was that TV special?
He is all-in and just giving it
I love this video and how much joy you are getting from this.
This band to me is rock in purest form possible, they kept the chuck berry bluesy sound alive when so many bands left the blues
That crowd was insane. The cameras were literally shaking because of the crowd jumping up and down.
Because that's how the real videos are made with real people and that was real Amen rest in peace Mel
That's the way we live ACDC shows here in Argentina! I was in the 3 shows that year in River plate and all 3 were magnificent!
I saw them in concert in the 80s and 90s and it was insane. I've been to dozens of concerts but nothing had the energy of those 2 shows
The crowd was insane because of the influence of all the demons there influencing their minds.
I'm a 53 year old Australian, grew up with these guys as national icons, seen them live 3 times. But this Argentinian crowd is the most insane I've ever seen at a concert. You need to check out Hells Bells from the same gig.
p.s Angus's move on the solo is called a duckwalk. It's an homage to Chuck Berry, one of his major influences
Yes!! ua-cam.com/video/EqS76TFCCYs/v-deo.html
Gracias! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Phil, I'm Brazilian (rivals of the Argentines) but we have to recognize that there is no audience like the "hermanos" for a rock show. Look for Iron and Guns concerts in Buenos Aires. They are insane. Hugs from the south of Brazil.
Seen them ten times here in England and very fortunately, once , with Bon, about 10 weeks before he died. : ( if you have ever seen the Live in Paris gig..imho..their best recorded gig, that was a week before i saw them on the same tour...i was shaking with anticipation. Bon era, best era, for me. Atb.
@@spanishpeaches2930 Live Wire from that gig is pure Bon 👍
I love it: "I know they're famous".
This is AC/DC. LEGENDS. They are way beyond famous. If you are there, where they are, a word like famous has no meaning anymore. Instead of saying; they are famous, you can say: This is AC/DC and I guess, anybody knows, what you are talking about.
If you really want to have your mind blown you need to listen to Brian Johnson BEFORE ACDC. Specifically when he sang "House of the Rising Sun" The way he sang that song will blow your mind. He literally SINGS and his voice is BEAUTIFUL. The range that he shows in that song, from soft and beautiful to pure power is unmatched in my opinion.
That was him? 😮
What honestly almost made me cry was seeing the audience. A SEA of mostly young faces, maybe in their 20s & 30s, hell maybe even teenagers by the looks of some of them. Music is generational. To have a band like AC/DC who came about during the 70s, during my parents youth, & to see SOO many people of the younger generations LOVE the music warms my damn heart. Good music has no expiration date. It lives on forever.
I'm one of those people during your parent's youth that heard AC/DC for the first time in the 70's, they were an instant hit!
And their shows were just as energetic as this show.
To see Angus playing a lead solo, while on Bon's shoulders, tracing through the audience like a fuckin' mad man... Awesome!
I'm 60 years young, and , I'll never forget that!
LONG LIVE AC/DC!
\m/_(>∆
Yeah nobody was cutting onions in my apartment but for some reason my tear ducts really worked up seeing the crowd shots. This video must have some allergens in it or something.
I was in that crowd, and I can tell you: AC/DC is huge here in Argentina. I saw whole families there losing their minds, singing and jumping. In fact, I went with my old brother and sister (I was 19 years old back then, and my brother and sister were 35 and 29 respectively). One of the best experiences of my life, for sure.
Fun fact: When Elizabeth said that the whole stadium seemed to shake, it was actually shaking. If you see the footage, the cameras are shaking for the sheer force of the thousands of people jumping together. It was insane.
@@TheMalkavian01 Thanks Ian, great story and great to know AC/DC is big in Argentina.
I was very fortunate to attend all the 3 concerts they played in Argentina. what you see in the videos is not even closer than what was being live there. It was massive !!!
Everything about Angus is his signature; the way he dresses, the way he plays, and the way he moves is all his.
I agree totally!!! Except for the "duckwalk" Chuck Berry made that famous in the 1950's
Little known fact, the way he dresses was borrowed from his older brother George as can be seen in this video. ua-cam.com/video/RgOMxTxWPuQ/v-deo.html
He perfected the duck walk, but its his tribute to Chuck Berry.
More like the way he undresses on stage....like every show ends with him in his briefs^^
well his school boy skip he does, he got from Chuck Berry, the rest is all his.
It's wonderful to see the joy and excitement in your face as you listen to AC/DC and other great rock bands for the first time that so many of us grew up with. It's nice to know that their music will be with us forever but a shame that bands like that will never be again.
We grew up with AC/DC (Acca Dacca) since "High Voltage" introduced most of us to them in mid 75. Loved all the singles, The aforementioned "High Voltage, Dirty Deeds, Jailbreak, Highway to Hell, Long Way to the Top," etc etc.
When Bon died, and they got the new guy, we all thought it was the end, as Bon Scott was so unique, both in voice and persona.
But when Brian started everyone was very surprised. He was nothing like Bon Scott, and didn't try to be. So put a totally different persona and voice with the same band............................. he made his own way, and it just worked.
Good for him.
I can honestly say that I love the songs from both eras/singers equally, and there are many Acca Dacca fans who are the same.
“Acca Dacca” like how the vocal cords go “wakka wakka wakka” 😂😂😂
Bon was AC/DC but Brian saved them after his tragic passing. The band is royalty. My first concert was FTATR back in 81. 🐐
I could not agree more with that such a shame more fans dontt see it that way
Yep Bon was best far more charismatic
Agreed. I've always loved Brian. But Bon was acdc for me. Still love them tho. I was a senior in HS when Bon passed. Tragic
Shoes of Bon. Iconic is a true fitting description.
My first introduction to AC DC was in the 70's when they blew the world open. You are correct Bon was AC DC along with Angus. Brian came in and in my opinion the only one that could truly fill the
Brian Johnson has mastered the art of sounding like he's singing through clenched teeth his entire career. Truly an original.
Nazareth's Dan Mc Cafferty, who passed away a couple of days ago, had a similar sound ... but AC/DC has better material ...
I love the joy you have when listening to new stuff. Keep going, it's brilliant and makes me smile so much.
She doesn’t know how to listen. She overthinks everything and absolutely does not get what is going on
I was lucky enough to have seen them live.. It's an experience you never forget. It's like the audience is part of the performance.. You live it with the band
R.I.P. legendary but often underrated rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young. Yeah his brother Angus was the shredder (and an absolute master too) but Malcolm was the drive & the balls behind so many of those records.
Amen
Malcolm was the back bone of AC/DC period
Malcolm made metronomes jealous.
The Quiet Commander, of the BEAT🙂 R.I.P Malcolm!
I think that AC/DC has the most rock anthems out of any band. Thunder struck, tnt, highway to hell, back in black, hells bells, dirty deeds and long way to the top are suck iconic songs and there are a few more as well. The whole stadium would know and sing them all back to the band with them or parts in the song that the audience sings.
In 1980, most of us heard Brian Johnson for the first time on Back in Black. His voice was mind-blowing. I didn’t think the human voice could do what he does. The growl, the pitch, the control and stamina. Sounds like he gargles with whiskey and nails. He’s actually one of the nicest guys in rock, and he takes excellent care of himself.
Back in black is awesome!
Still prefer Bon - Back in Black, despite being sung by Brian, was so heavily influenced by Bon and it "shows". Don't get me wrong, I do like a few Brain albums, some not widely popular, but great to my ears.
Perhaps what's not great, is the Charismatic Voice seems more put on and forced than natural and it's annoying.
He just forgot to take good care of his eardrums, with all the rocking and motorsports he got. Ironic, but what a great life! All my respect for Brian.
(He is also a great showman/presenter, too!)
@@sirsancti5504 No denying he's good at what he does, and still hasn't lost that accent......but......
Smoking Pack after Pack of cigarettes and drinking pints of whiskey is not exactly taking care of yourself I love Elizabeth's analysis and expression but never could get much into ACDC just not a big fan. Guitar playing pretty good but it is precisely the singing that doesn't make me a fan.
The story behind Brian Johnson joining AC/DC is amazing
I know I'm very late to so many of these videos - I'm a new convert, I beg forgiveness - but seeing Elizabeth's face when she is experiencing the greatest bands in the history of rock and metal, for the first time - like a child in a sweet shop (candy store, in freedom parlance) - is just the most charming, wonderful, engaging thing. I've loved these bands for many decades, and that brings it's own appreciation, but when you get to see someone dip their toes for the first time, it is a magical thing indeed!
Please accept this with the utmost of respect...your reaction to AC/DC is simply -- adorable!
I'm older, GenX, a lot of my friends are younger and introducing them to stuff with this kind of power and kick is hilarious fun.
She is so adorable too!🏴
Yep, like she never knew how incredible they are
She is always adorable
Yeah, she acts so naturally. Like... I understand she is an opera singer, but I don't believe that somebody can skip an entire music industry for the last 50 years. I'm not old, I live on the other side of the globe, but I know at least half of everything that she is listening to here. C'mon. Who doesn't know ACDC?
AC/DC Live At River Plate. Perhaps the best live album of all time. Mind blowing.
Im from argentina, I WAS THERE, but i think Acdc Live! is better, not that it wasnt an extraordinary show, but it sounded better...
River Plate is an absolute heart and soul performance, sexy Argentinians!
But AC/DC Live is much closer to their prime. Brian's voice is a bit better, and everyone is decades younger.
The double disc is mandatory, I need the extra tracks…
River Plate and at Donington! 2 of the best ever performances!!!!
Undoubtedly, the best live performance of all time
I’m from the UK & that is not just a crowd…it’s an Army!
Respect to them all 👹🫡☠️
Growing up with this Iconic Band, only saw this Show twice. the power and groove. Great memories. AC/DC will always be timeless... watching new people trying to crack the code is funny
The best way I describe Brian Johnson's voice and singing is if you combine James Brown, Aretha Franklin and Noddy Holder as one singer, you get Brian Johnson.
Noddy Holder.....Now that is a Voice that Elizabeth should definitely do a deep dive into.....the power he had was phenomenal
Or just drop a cinderblock on an opera singers foot
Love Noddy Holder - now THAT'S a singer - criminally overlooked.
Noddy was in the running for Brian's job for a while... that could have worked!
I was thinking if Starscream could sing.
Angus is an absolute legend! I stood 10 feet away from him once as he launched into one of his epic solos. I was with my brother, it was his first ever gig. What a mind blowing experience!
When Angus was asked wether he was the best guitarist on the planet. “I’m not even the best in my family”
How do you go up from that?.. That could ruin a man..
Search YT for "angus young george benson"
@@nucleargrizzly1776 It's a fake.
@@JoeGator23 Huh?
I'm straining to believe you'd never heard thunderstruck before it's one of the most recognizable songs ever.
I honestly didn't appreciate how good Brian Johnson was as a singer until I became a singer myself. It still mesmerises me that he can hit such high notes without crossing over into falsetto.
AC/DC are absolute masters of minute timing as well as the spacing of silence within the rhythm. The music breathes.
a lesson for every solid musician and especially drummer for sure
She got the Jack has amazing pause sequences.
Totally true. Like a surge of power of a steam locomotive starting down the track.
The "Duck Walk" is his signature move. He was a huge Chuck Berry fan growing up and I believe it's an homage to him. You should watch a video from pre-2000 when he is younger- he is all over the stage and sounds like he never misses a note.
I always think of Back To The Future when I see someone do it, lol
Even during that show in 2009 him and Brian were ALL OVER that huge ass stage. But this goes down in history as one of the best concerts ever. The energy level was at 11 and just never stopped.
I wanna make a spinal tap homage joke... but it's probably been done....
Sorry , I should have read the comments before I sounded off. Honest mistake.
One of the most recognizable voices ever. I didnt csre for them due to his voice when i was younger, but it grew it me over the years.
Picture a barn full of drunk people, radio cranking, then Thunder struck comes on for the first time!! The floor of the old barn started to bounce, wow!!!
I was in that show. It was magical, there was so much energy going on, the band and the audience were perfect. It was the greatest show i've been to without a doubt.
@PeegShite McGee cheers but both were amazing shows, live aid 85 at wembley had a great line up!
Funny. OG AC/DC fan. Im 51 and started way back in the Bon Scott days. Give their earlier, especially 70's stuff, a good listen. They are a genre of their own. Im a Brian Johnson fan too. Nothing against him... just get to the roots. To this day, If You Want Blood from '79 is one of the all times best live albums. Without question. Perfect AC/DC.
Brian Johnson is really good, but Bon Scott was on his own level.
I remember watching their first appearance on Countdown!
Rip Bon
Totally!!
Bon's "Let There Be Rock" is simply unforgettable
100%!!!! I came here to talk about Bon as well. Her reaction to “Let There Be Rock” (good pick) would be so much fun.
I know what I like and I know what I love! This break down of what is really going on explains just how GREAT this band really was!! There is a reason AC/DC was the hardest hitting band of the ages 🙂 R.I.P. Malcolm
You should hear 2 cellos do their cover of this. Awesome as well.
Underrated comment!! Their cover is so good
Those guys re Crazy!
I came here to say that! She heard Bach in AC/DC, but 2Cellos put the Bach back into AC/DC. Their video is such a hoot. No vocals though...
The 2Cellos video is here. ua-cam.com/video/uT3SBzmDxGk/v-deo.htmlsi=-kmzCT_bJh3GGzoG Their version is actually the first time I heard Thunderstruck. I'd stopped listening to AC/DC after Hells Bells.
This band really needs more attention. Their version of Thunderstruck is so great and the video is also extremely funny. The faces of the audience as they just started gettimg wild... 😂 But they also have so much other great covers. One of my other favourites is "Where the streets have no name", their version is absolutely stunning.
Drawing a parallel between a Bach prelude and the opening riff of Thunderstruck is EXACTLY why I subscribe and keep coming back 🥰
The parallel is probably more obvious if you listen to the fantastic 2Cellos cover of "Thunderstruck". (Which is, you guessed it, 2 guys playing cello.)
You just know you are at an ACDC concerrt when the crowd are singing the guitar riffs.
At a Metallica concert it is the guitar solo's which are sung by the crowd... It is a really amazing feeling...
Rush concerts meet this criteria too.
Most people there have seen them at least 5 or 6 times I took my son when turned 17 he was blown away people stood up the first song and never sat down again it must of been my age or they have gotten a lot louder I couldn't hear for two days .
Go to a concert in South America. They do that for every riff for every band.
I saw AC/DC in West Berlin in December of 1979. It was the second-best concert I ever went to.
AC/DC and Angus are freaking awesome!! I love the fact that because of how great they are and how they have never let their age or how long it has been since they very first started rocking together, they sound just as good now as when they were originally singing these songs! 🤘😁
Okay, so it was Brian Davis singing here instead of Angus
I'm a AC/DC fan since I was 10 years old. But when I saw them live in 2015 and standing front-row this was the most emotional concert-feeling I've ever had. When the intro started, the fireworks blasted off and they entered the stage I just cried like a little girl. Tears of happyness and I had goosebumps for the whole concert. I've never had those kind of emotional feelings ever again at concerts because this literally was a childhood-dream coming true for me as a 25y old back then ♥
I would have too.❤️ it was a time in our lives we remember with happiness. I got to see Rush, I Nova Scotia Canada, and 3rd row. Seeing them in real life, as funny same amazing band..I was sobbing
I hear you. We ised to be announced to this at HS football. Song gets me chills everytime I hear it. And being on the field and literally feeling the crown stomps on the bleachers,… pretty damn cool.
I am so jealous that you get to hear these for the first time. It has been almost two decades since I had a “what the hell is that?!!!” Awe inspiring song/sound. I think the last may have been VR, maybe Santana, maybe Buckcherry Crazy Bitch. But then the music just kinda faded to pedestrian.
Been there too! Best feeling in the world 😎🤘
I saw them when they were just a pub band and Bon Scott was the lead singer, they were out of this world. Bon Scott was like a sprinkler lol, sweat flying everywhere.
Since nobody else has answered... Brian does have an excellent clean voice as well, very bluesy sounding. The distortion is specifically done for AC/DC songs. Before joining AC/DC Brian was in a band called Geordie, he used mostly clean vocals with them.
You should also check out AC/DC with Bon Scott on the vocals, he had one of the more unique voices in rock. I would recommend the songs Highway to Hell, High Voltage and Dirty Deeds as starting points for the Bon Scott era. Better yet do a reaction video.
Thanks for always putting up killer content!
And the classic blues song Ride On!!
Oh! And the classic!
Long Way to the Top
Live at Apollo 1978 for Bon Scott. Riff Raff or Let There Be Rock are the two I vote for. And Back in Black in studio for more Brian. I actually think the dynamic range and acting of Bon Scott in the studio recording of Night Prowler is one of most underrated things in music. That's of Highway To Hell which was just before Back in Black and Mutt Lange who produced both kept so much grit in the otherwise immaculate sound production of those.
Also Geordie's House of The Rising Sun shows Brian's full dynamic range I think btw.
And Bon Scott also was in a previous band called Fraternity and they made You Have a God and Seasons of Change which also shows him in another beautiful way of singing. I must check the title for those but I even think there's some music video of one of those songs.
@@MrACangusyoungDC I have seen them twice, Fly on the wall and Black Ice tours. I started listening to them in 1978, you are right Night Prowler is a great song. One of my favs in also Gone Shooting, Powerage is actually my fav album by them.
It should be something from Highway To Hell in my opinion. The title song, or Walk All Over You, or Shot Down In Flames would be my recommendations.
I feel you clicked stop waaaaay too many times to fully appreciate this masterpiece
"That's a lot of people" - Agreed. You know what that means? It's popular....This is a classic song and will live on.
Bloody legends as we say here in Australia 🇦🇺
Brings tears to my eyes watching this.
ACDC is more than just a band here in Aus. Its an attitude, a feeling, a culture. So many things.
RIP Malcolm Young 🤟
You should be very proud! AC/DC is a way of life!
Over here in New Zealand my bro I agree ACDC are gods of music!
I credit AC/DC for starting me on a metal music journey at the age of ten years old that continues to this day, over 40 years later. I swear, "Back In Black" changed my life. I was blown away by just the sheer heaviness of that song and couldn't get enough! They will always have a special place in my heart.
How odd,, the lead singer is English and the rest of the band from Scotland, they are reluctant Aussies 🤔
@@interabang you could be from Africa or Argentina and still be accepted and celebrated as an Aussie mate 👍
A great band in a great concert. Greetings from Los Angeles California. ❤
The beautiful smile you get from hearing this song, opens my love for this song\album. You make me appreciate it more. Great video.
AC/DC concerts are a celebration of life!
can't wait to to hear her do the Rolling Stones!
Too right, back in 96 an older mate simply said I had to go and watch ACDC live.....boy he wasn't wrong. Just the best band live....period
Imagine screaming THUNDER in unison with 200,000 people... It's spine-tingling, celebration of life indeed
Sorry, but the Highway to Hell doesn't lead to LIFE. Quite the contrary.
I am addicted to your child like joy while watching these bands. As a former classic rock drummer seeing someone discover the music that I’ve played for years warms my heart!
Same! I love watching her react to older music and new!
yes it comes across as very fake
She's pretty dead on with her analysis
Im 70 yrs.This was the first band my son and i went to see in concert.WHAT A SHOW.
I love the way this young lady breaks down de complete songs and offers lots of details must listers ignore ❤❤❤
The most spectacular thing about this whole concert is, it was the their first concert after 10 years, sold out in minutes and the whole crowd jumping, caused an mesearuble earthquake!!! That's nuts!! ICONIC!!! I would recommend Hells Bells, Back in Blacl and You shook me all night long, from this show oh and a whole lot of Rosie
Can’t forget “She’s got the Jack”
Watching an opera singer see a top-level live hard rock performance in an enthusiastic stadium for the first time is a treat. I can only imagine the culture shock from her own performance history.
If I could attend any concert from any time I’d choose this one. Legendary crowd.
I absolutely love this song! It makes me so happy and peppy and just wow! It’s fabulous!
Watching Elizabeth see these things for the first time is such a pleasure. It sucks you in and you forget you’ve heard the song a thousand times, and you’re right there, excited to hear the song (again) for the first time. Wild.
For me the best song of that entire concert is "For Those About to Rock, We Salute You". A magic performance for the ages.
I love your reaction to some things!! You look so full of disbelief and amazement, priceless!!
I was born 1988 and i was lucky enough to witness The Beatles in 1968,The Rolling Stones in 72,Led Zeppelin 75 and Black Sabbath 77 but being at The Riverplate was spectacular.
You should listen to an earlier song with Bon Scott as the singer before he passed. The fact that they found Brian Johnson was a miracle. No one else could've filled those shoes left by Bon.
I'll second that. Bon had a very unique voice.
that would be great if she did, Bon was a great showman
Not many bands bring in a bag pipe! Love it!
Brian is one of the few people whose voice actually got higher rather than lower with age. His sound from Back in Black (1980) to The Razor's Edge (1991) gradually slides up. Also, he has a shockingly deep speaking voice. Go figure.
It's not that uncommon. When I was a teenager up through my 20s I was a baritone who often switched back and forth to bass. Now that I'm 50, I'm still very much a baritone, but I'm more comfortable switching up to tenor than bass.
Like ABBA, nobody can dislike ~AC/DC. Immense band.
ACCA-DACCA fans are very passionate, but none as passionate as 200,000 fans at River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This is without doubt, the very best rock band that Australia has produced !
Brian is hilarious. You totally need him on tea time.
