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.
"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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
@@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!
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 !"
....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!
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..
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.
There’s not much that can replicate the feeling you get at a true rock concert like this. A crowd with the right energy is beyond an incredible sight and feeling.
This. I remember seeing them and when the Whole Lotta Rosie rhythm (not the disconnected riff but when the actual "song" part begins) I literally slammed the back of the guy in front of me with my knuckles, when he turned back looking angrily at me I was full "oh, it's on!" mode - the moshpit was immediately created!
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."
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.
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.
This band has been a part of my life since I was 14 years old and I am 60 now I’ve had the privilege and honor to see them four times in concert. I would like to go to one more. rest in peace Malcolm take care of yourself Cliff and Phil stay grounded, the new guys will carry the banner forward. I’ve seen Angus slow down just a little bit. Wish you would quit smoking lol. Brian Johnson, we love you. We’re so thankful that you came aboard when you did 40+ years ago. for us longtime fans we still love and remember, Bon Scott, what a story, what a band, what a ride it’s been a blast
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.
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!
Agreed. I also am new to her, and every time her face lights up with delight at a song I've been jamming to for the better part of my two and a half decades of existence, it brings new appreciation for them that is lost on someone who has listened to them as long as some of us metal/rock heads
@@ljmiller2016 This is such a lovely comment, thank you for sharing! There's nothing like getting to enjoy your favourite things through the eyes (or ears) of someone else, to gain a new, deeper, appreciation for it!
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.
@@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.
13:47 As someone who was part of that ocean of people i can confirm the entire stadium was shaking. Best live shows (they were more than one) i've been to.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
AC/DC concert 100% the absolute best concert I have ever been to. The wife and I have seen them a handful of times and were always a great time with the most energy ever. Standing and rocking out the whole time. If you have not seen an AC/DC concert you missed out!
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 .
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!"
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.
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 !!!
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…
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.
She admits in a later video that when she first started this channel she fell in love with death metal and a curiosity of how these singers switch from normal singing to "cookie monster" singing and back without tearing their vocal cords apart.
My dad was 16 when Brian took over after Bon passed and Ac/dc was his favorite band, so Brian's voice was just a part of my childhood, hearing it growing up, so getting to watch someone listen to and hear them for the first time, I'm a little jealous but it's so nice to see, brings a tear to my eye
Me to brother me too. My dad listened to them in the 70s and Come 1981 when I was born I got brian Johnson. Only to find a dirty deeds cassette tape on the road dad heard me listen to it."big balls" ND thought I stole his tape. Ac/DC with either bon Scott or bJ still iconic in my mind.
Same here. They are my dad's favourite band. He even had an original vinyl album during communism censorship here. He was so happy that he couldn't stop talking about it when he went to the concert they held here a few years back. I can recognise them anywhere.
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.)
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!
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.
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.
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".
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
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.
In Virginia U.S.A, thanks bunches 4 ure vocal shows, if u have the time , i was born in the 60z, but as far as vocals go , u might want 2 look @ some of the best vocals of the 70z !!😮 luv U.S.A 💕 me Brian 🤠 Virginia U.S.A ❤
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.
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.
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.
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?
Brian Johnson was born in 1947, this was filmed in 2009, making him 62 when this was filmed. The rest of band were in the 50's. Which makes this performance all the more impressive
Brian Johnson is an absolute gem. His sound is so unique, I fear when he leaves us there will no longer be anymore Live ACDC Shows. What an incredible showman.
There won't be, because the rest of the guys can't go like this anymore. However, Bon Scott was pretty unique until Brian came along. Hopefully, somebody else will come along who sounds like them.
Do you really believe it’s her first time hearing this haha. Every reaction channel has listened to these super famous songs before but they will get views based on the popularity of the song
My local rock station played this whole album the day it was released... it was transendant... I was working in a gas station, and we blew the roof off of that little old station...
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.
There style is the definition of perfected. their formula is iconic.. anyone can spot AC/DC in a lineup because its just that obvious. There will never be another AC/DC.. sure there will be bands like it (there already are - see airbourne for a great example) but there will never be another iconic and original AC/DC.
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!
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.
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.
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.
You know... The empathic way you put yourself in the mood to grasp every aspect of each song makes you one of the most interesting people EVER to watch.
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
That's the Chuck Berry duck walk! Chuck Berry was Angus's guitar hero before Angus became the ultimate guitar hero! This concert took place in Argentina btw. The first album I ever bought was ACDC when I was 8...43 years ago, wow! The brilliance of these guys isn't the diversity of their songs or the complexity of their compositions, but rather their ability to get the listener, and in this case an entire stadium, pumped up and having a great time! And of course....Angus!
I'm always impressed that even though Elizabeth comes from such a solid background in classical music and hasn't heard many of the pop/rock artists she reviews - let alone their music - she still brings her knowledge to critique the genre. She also does it with genuine enthusiasm of someone discovering something for the first time. It raises our understanding and appreciation of music that we might have been hearing for decades. I wasn't a fan of AC/DC in the 80s, but I've learned to enjoy their music incredibly. It's a thrill to listen to their music and feel that energy - as Elizabeth does in this review.
She seems to have a genuine enthusiasm and appreciation for different styles and techniques as well as a lot of humility. I see other vocal coaches doing analysis will almost criticise singers negatively when it's something outside of their chosen genre.
the magic of that night is just incredible. the moment the crowd sings along to "tnt" before the last chorus has to be one of the most epic moments of rock and roll history. the crowd knows they're being part of something big, their smiles shows that
There is absolutely NO way that someone does not know about AC/DC! This is one of the most iconic, if not THE most iconic, Rock Band in the world! Their reputation and ubiquity is just legendary. So I doubt that this is a FIRST!
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.
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!)
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.
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's voice is so distinctive, and you can really chart the way it changes over time, especially with Thunderstruck. If you listen to earlier live performances in the early 2000s or 1990s, you can see how he's simplified the song by this performance, possibly to spare his throat.
Some of that might have to do with his age. The singing voice can change over time as the body ages past its prime. Usually going deeper and not able to hit or sustain higher notes. There ere exceptions, but this is generally the case. To give Brian credit. He still sounds like Brian Johnson and for his style of singing, has kept his vocals in pretty top notch shape. I saw them live on the Who Made Who Tour and the thing that always got me about their live performances was how it sounded just like the albums. That is a testament to production, but also the band's level of musicianship.
Yep, the '91 Donnington live videos are probably a good reference for earlier performances. The UA-cam video quality is pretty good on some of those, such as Shoot to Thrill.
@@jasonwebb71 I was wondering why she didn't use the Donnington performance. It's legendary, and it really *is* Thunderstruck to me. I prefer it even over the studio recordings. :D
The band had been gradually lowering the keys of the songs to suit his voice as it changed. Compare that to when Axl showed up and they went back to the original key. Actually Axl Rose would be a good one for Elizabeth to look into.
I think he actually has lost a little bit of his upper register over the years, it's just that his singing voice is so high to start with that it's *still* really high. If you listen to the original version of this song though, there's a lot of higher notes in it, he's just done a really good job of adapting the way he sings this song to compensate for it.
yeah, hearing this compared to some of there original you can tell the different that has come with age after being this song is 32 years old, do check out there official vid and then you will learn how we came to love it at its prime
Yep, I was definitely noticing a lot of high notes that he's just not going for any more. Which is fine! He's an old man and it's still a kickarse performance! If anything it just gives you more respect for what he could do in his heyday.
That concert at River Plate is really one of the greatest live concerts ever. That crowd was incredible and by the way there was 200.000 in that crowd🤯
@@kubo5185 I was there in '91. The crowd was about 65,000. Donington couldn't hold 2 million. It's still a big crowd... Just not the ridiculous figure you quote
@@kubo5185 Monsters of Rock 1991 was a concert held at Castle Donington in the UK. It is now the home of the Download festival. The 1991 concert was released on Blu Ray & DVD. I have double checked & the audience there was 72,000 people. I was not referring to the River Plate concert shown in this video.
I love it when you first see just how many people are in that audience. That's been nearly every show for them for decades. Every country they play, every city. They have been a bleoved band for so long.
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.
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.
I've never been an ACDC fan but I used to hang out with Brian and his family for many years. Really kind, nice, normal people. They extremely philanthropic in their city and in my mind, great folks! Glad you had fun with this performance.
AC/DC Live at River Plate is the best ever concert film.EVER. And that band can make a stadium feel like pub gig and everyone in it together. Love them.
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.
We just released merchandise! Check out the full line-up here: thecharismaticmerch.com
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.
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.
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.
😅
Take your time. Your still very young to decide
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
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!
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)
When I listen to AC/DC, my neighbors do, too.
As it should be. Otherwise, how will they learn? 😊
Haha brother!
Of all things, it reminds me of a friend in college getting a few of us to go see the AC/DC cover band, "Big Balls" around ... 2001?
Same thing with my neighbors. They should met each other and form a club: Neighbors of an ACDC fan Club.
The other weekend my neighbours were so excited to hear me playing ac/dc they through a brick through my window so they could hear it better.
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.
....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.
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
Nannannannanana
There’s not much that can replicate the feeling you get at a true rock concert like this.
A crowd with the right energy is beyond an incredible sight and feeling.
This. I remember seeing them and when the Whole Lotta Rosie rhythm (not the disconnected riff but when the actual "song" part begins) I literally slammed the back of the guy in front of me with my knuckles, when he turned back looking angrily at me I was full "oh, it's on!" mode - the moshpit was immediately created!
AC/DC's concert and Roger Water's "the wall" both at River are 2 experiences I've never been able to replicate elsewhere
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.
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.
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.
probably one of the greatest bands to ever graces us with their music.
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!
This band has been a part of my life since I was 14 years old and I am 60 now I’ve had the privilege and honor to see them four times in concert. I would like to go to one more. rest in peace Malcolm take care of yourself Cliff and Phil stay grounded, the new guys will carry the banner forward. I’ve seen Angus slow down just a little bit. Wish you would quit smoking lol. Brian Johnson, we love you. We’re so thankful that you came aboard when you did 40+ years ago. for us longtime fans we still love and remember, Bon Scott, what a story, what a band, what a ride it’s been a blast
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.
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!
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!
Love your comment. It describes the way I feel too. I bet you smile and think wait to you see and hear what’s coming next
@@johnnybaker3751 Absolutely!!
Agreed. I also am new to her, and every time her face lights up with delight at a song I've been jamming to for the better part of my two and a half decades of existence, it brings new appreciation for them that is lost on someone who has listened to them as long as some of us metal/rock heads
@@ljmiller2016 This is such a lovely comment, thank you for sharing! There's nothing like getting to enjoy your favourite things through the eyes (or ears) of someone else, to gain a new, deeper, appreciation for it!
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? 😂
I love how you're analytical and welcoming, without being quick to judge.
That's the positive mindset of an explorer.
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.
13:47 As someone who was part of that ocean of people i can confirm the entire stadium was shaking. Best live shows (they were more than one) i've been to.
First saw AC /DC in 76 at the age of 17, when Bon Scott was the singer. I'm 64 now and still absolutely love them after 47 years.
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.
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
Seeing your reaction to the crowd is awesome. You're obviously studying the music, but the size and energy of the crowd is something else.
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
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
I know I'm not supposed to make these comments anymore, but she's HELLA easy on the eyes as well. Love this channel.
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?
Bless your heart. I want to take you to a concert. That opening "ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh" and "thunder" is 130,000 people screaming it.
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.
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!
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.
What about when they are lip syncing?
AC/DC concert 100% the absolute best concert I have ever been to. The wife and I have seen them a handful of times and were always a great time with the most energy ever. Standing and rocking out the whole time. If you have not seen an AC/DC concert you missed out!
This guy is 75 years old and still sounds great and rocks like all the best from the 60's and 70's. Major props!
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.
@@KholdaimonI rlly want to go to a Metallica concert, but I can’t find any near me ;(
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!
That rules!
He just didn't want to go all Geordie and say "fit as a lop"
The energy from that crowd could run a whole country for life!
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 !!!
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
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 this woman's insight into the songs that she listens to.
Also...she is so distractingly beautiful it's ridiculous. ❤
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.
She admits in a later video that when she first started this channel she fell in love with death metal and a curiosity of how these singers switch from normal singing to "cookie monster" singing and back without tearing their vocal cords apart.
My dad was 16 when Brian took over after Bon passed and Ac/dc was his favorite band, so Brian's voice was just a part of my childhood, hearing it growing up, so getting to watch someone listen to and hear them for the first time, I'm a little jealous but it's so nice to see, brings a tear to my eye
lol i was 16 when Back in Black came out, my daughter Loves AC/DC, she grew up on it
Me to brother me too. My dad listened to them in the 70s and Come 1981 when I was born I got brian Johnson. Only to find a dirty deeds cassette tape on the road dad heard me listen to it."big balls" ND thought I stole his tape. Ac/DC with either bon Scott or bJ still iconic in my mind.
Same here. They are my dad's favourite band. He even had an original vinyl album during communism censorship here. He was so happy that he couldn't stop talking about it when he went to the concert they held here a few years back. I can recognise them anywhere.
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.)
Your reactions, and especially the joy, with which watch (and disect) these videos is absolutely priceless!!
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?
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.
Elizabeth's face is so expressive. You know immediately when a voice surprised her. Her eyelids start fluttering a million miles an hour. 😊
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
@@RoninUK-e3u Truth
What was that TV special?
He is all-in and just giving it
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

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 👍
You cannot express in words the energy of an AC/DC concert until you have been there. I have seen them 6 times ......... WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agree. I saw them in San Jose Ca back in 1991. What a show!!
Im so happy you like me got to see them cos you wont F*****n see em on this video f**k me ive never known such an advert cliackbait crap in my life
In Virginia U.S.A, thanks bunches 4 ure vocal shows, if u have the time , i was born in the 60z, but as far as vocals go , u might want 2 look @ some of the best vocals of the 70z !!😮 luv U.S.A 💕 me Brian 🤠 Virginia U.S.A ❤
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.
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.
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?
Love it or hate it, this has to be one of the most iconic songs of all time.
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.
Brian Johnson was born in 1947, this was filmed in 2009, making him 62 when this was filmed. The rest of band were in the 50's. Which makes this performance all the more impressive
Brian Johnson is an absolute gem. His sound is so unique, I fear when he leaves us there will no longer be anymore Live ACDC Shows. What an incredible showman.
There won't be, because the rest of the guys can't go like this anymore. However, Bon Scott was pretty unique until Brian came along. Hopefully, somebody else will come along who sounds like them.
Agree like bon Scott I think there is no body who can replace Brian as he is just a amazing guy on his own and is great.
AC/DC GOD BLESS AUSTRALIA! THE WHOLE WORLD LOVES AC/DC!
Nothing better than seeing someone experience this phenomenal band for the first time.
Do you really believe it’s her first time hearing this haha. Every reaction channel has listened to these super famous songs before but they will get views based on the popularity of the song
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 ...
Brian is hilarious. You totally need him on tea time.
My local rock station played this whole album the day it was released... it was transendant... I was working in a gas station, and we blew the roof off of that little old station...
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.
There style is the definition of perfected. their formula is iconic.. anyone can spot AC/DC in a lineup because its just that obvious. There will never be another AC/DC.. sure there will be bands like it (there already are - see airbourne for a great example) but there will never be another iconic and original AC/DC.
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.
One of my favorite Bon Scott songs was "little lover" always made me feel I needed to shower and wash the dirt off lol
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.
You know... The empathic way you put yourself in the mood to grasp every aspect of each song makes you one of the most interesting people EVER to watch.
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”
That's the Chuck Berry duck walk! Chuck Berry was Angus's guitar hero before Angus became the ultimate guitar hero! This concert took place in Argentina btw. The first album I ever bought was ACDC when I was 8...43 years ago, wow! The brilliance of these guys isn't the diversity of their songs or the complexity of their compositions, but rather their ability to get the listener, and in this case an entire stadium, pumped up and having a great time! And of course....Angus!
I could not imagine how amazing it must be to perform onstage in front of an audience like that. So much energy flowing back and forth. Incredible.
Ac/Dc shows are a party! The music just makes everybody move. You might want earplugs though😅
I"m 67 saw these guys in oz when i was in my teens still love them i am a grandfather now same as most of acdc band.😊😅😂😅
I'm always impressed that even though Elizabeth comes from such a solid background in classical music and hasn't heard many of the pop/rock artists she reviews - let alone their music - she still brings her knowledge to critique the genre. She also does it with genuine enthusiasm of someone discovering something for the first time. It raises our understanding and appreciation of music that we might have been hearing for decades. I wasn't a fan of AC/DC in the 80s, but I've learned to enjoy their music incredibly. It's a thrill to listen to their music and feel that energy - as Elizabeth does in this review.
You're a sucker to believe she hasn't. And people pay to see the acting 🤭
This song was released in 1990! ;-)
She seems to have a genuine enthusiasm and appreciation for different styles and techniques as well as a lot of humility. I see other vocal coaches doing analysis will almost criticise singers negatively when it's something outside of their chosen genre.
@@MooseWombleMole Indeed. I am really liking her channel.
She entertains, and educates, but never talks down to us.
There will Never be an era of music like this. Digital music won’t let it!
Exactly.
the magic of that night is just incredible. the moment the crowd sings along to "tnt" before the last chorus has to be one of the most epic moments of rock and roll history. the crowd knows they're being part of something big, their smiles shows that
There is absolutely NO way that someone does not know about AC/DC! This is one of the most iconic, if not THE most iconic, Rock Band in the world! Their reputation and ubiquity is just legendary. So I doubt that this is a FIRST!
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.
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.
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
I love just how giddy you get when you hear what you do. It makes me smile.
I'm 72 yrs saw ACDC 8 times LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
I'm 37. Seen them 4 times with my Dad. First time I was 9. Will remember every single one of them forever.
Brian Johnson's voice is so distinctive, and you can really chart the way it changes over time, especially with Thunderstruck. If you listen to earlier live performances in the early 2000s or 1990s, you can see how he's simplified the song by this performance, possibly to spare his throat.
Some of that might have to do with his age. The singing voice can change over time as the body ages past its prime. Usually going deeper and not able to hit or sustain higher notes. There ere exceptions, but this is generally the case. To give Brian credit. He still sounds like Brian Johnson and for his style of singing, has kept his vocals in pretty top notch shape. I saw them live on the Who Made Who Tour and the thing that always got me about their live performances was how it sounded just like the albums. That is a testament to production, but also the band's level of musicianship.
Yep, the '91 Donnington live videos are probably a good reference for earlier performances. The UA-cam video quality is pretty good on some of those, such as Shoot to Thrill.
@@jasonwebb71 I was wondering why she didn't use the Donnington performance. It's legendary, and it really *is* Thunderstruck to me. I prefer it even over the studio recordings. :D
How is it possible she has never heard this? She live under a rock?
The band had been gradually lowering the keys of the songs to suit his voice as it changed. Compare that to when Axl showed up and they went back to the original key. Actually Axl Rose would be a good one for Elizabeth to look into.
They are amazing live. The crowd is always on fire! I’m honored that I got to see them back in the 80’s. So much energy.
The goosebumps I get hearing this for the umpteenth time!
Imagine hearing it for the very first time in adult age 🤩
My friends did a drinking game where every time "thunder" was said in any capacity, the next person needed to keep drinking until the next "thunder".
I think he actually has lost a little bit of his upper register over the years, it's just that his singing voice is so high to start with that it's *still* really high. If you listen to the original version of this song though, there's a lot of higher notes in it, he's just done a really good job of adapting the way he sings this song to compensate for it.
yeah, hearing this compared to some of there original you can tell the different that has come with age after being this song is 32 years old, do check out there official vid and then you will learn how we came to love it at its prime
Yep, I was definitely noticing a lot of high notes that he's just not going for any more. Which is fine! He's an old man and it's still a kickarse performance! If anything it just gives you more respect for what he could do in his heyday.
That concert at River Plate is really one of the greatest live concerts ever. That crowd was incredible and by the way there was 200.000 in that crowd🤯
I've never seen another crowd like this
Monsters of Rock Concert 1991 almost 2mil ppl. There are some 3mil+ too
@@kubo5185 I was there in '91. The crowd was about 65,000. Donington couldn't hold 2 million. It's still a big crowd... Just not the ridiculous figure you quote
@@warlock12uk what is Donington? That concert was in Moscow
@@kubo5185 Monsters of Rock 1991 was a concert held at Castle Donington in the UK. It is now the home of the Download festival. The 1991 concert was released on Blu Ray & DVD. I have double checked & the audience there was 72,000 people. I was not referring to the River Plate concert shown in this video.
I love it when you first see just how many people are in that audience. That's been nearly every show for them for decades. Every country they play, every city. They have been a bleoved band for so long.
This is a perfect example of an AC/DC live performance. I have been to a lot of rock concerts and the energy at an AC/DC show is unmatched.
Pantera concerts were the closest thing I experienced to the same energy. Saw AC/DC with Metallica crazy show.
This is what you get at an Argentinian crowd 🤩🤩
@@cristinapisaneschi1167 The women are god dammed gorgeous.
Legends. RIP Malcolm. I am glad to have seen them a few times, there is amazing energy at an AC/DC show.
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.
I've never been an ACDC fan but I used to hang out with Brian and his family for many years. Really kind, nice, normal people. They extremely philanthropic in their city and in my mind, great folks! Glad you had fun with this performance.
AC/DC Live at River Plate is the best ever concert film.EVER.
And that band can make a stadium feel like pub gig and everyone in it together.
Love them.
Give Pink Floyd Pulse Live a shot. Every part of that concert is perfection.
Megadeath live in Argentina..symphony of destruction..just as great
BEST FUCKING AUDIENCE I've ever seen or heard. Now, those are ROCK AND ROLL FANS!!!
Best Crowd Ever ua-cam.com/video/4Ln-mqqIQUM/v-deo.html
Don't forget Donington! ;)
I think 70% of my enjoyment of these songs is how excited you get about them!
Years ago I saw an ACDC review that said the vocals sounded like "a scalded cat". I still think of that every time I listen to them, love them;)
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.
you have no idea how loud and soul moving their concerts are until you are there....
Ain’t that the truth.
Довелось побывать,Москва в Тушино 1991 год.
