Welcome to the original lead singer Bon Scott. The one and only never to be repeated!!!! Totally the best!!!! Yes I know some purist’s will say that Dave Evans was the first singer but he lasted about as long as a cup of coffee!!!!!! For a reason!!!!!! Bon is the man!!!!! He helped write sooooo many great songs with Angus and Malcom and his penmanship was outstanding!!!!! His showman ship as you just experienced is off the charts!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!!😎🍸
@@timmcgrath676 to me both Bon and Brian is very good and I dont make any difference between them, both voices fits acdc's music. I like them both. I agree Dave dosent really matter in the sense of being a singer for acdc, he is just the original but did not fit for acdc.
Bon Scott was AC/DC's greatest singer , song writer and performer. I don't think anyone came close to this era of this band !! Bon Scott also told his mother that he had written the lyrics to the Back in Black album. His family receive royalties for Back in Black still to this day. Brian Johnson did a great job singing but for a bloke who was never a song writer (and didn't write anything from 1988 on). Bon died in 1980 and the 2nd highest selling album behind Thriller is released within 3 months of Bon's passing? NO WAY!! Listen to the lyrics of Bon Scott from 1974 to the Back in Black album then listen to the lyrics that followed on the following albums. The Young brothers wrote the album The Razor's Edge. A new album came out about evert 5 years after that. Bon Scott wrote 6 albums in 5 years and made AC/DC. Kind regards
This song will cure ALL that ails you. This singer is Bon Scott, the original singer who died tragically in Feb 1980. The current singer, Brian Johnson, then took over and has been with them ever since. In my opinion this line up (with Bon) is the best and their performances pre 1980 are always high energy and killer. Great reaction and I hope you're feeling better soon.
Another classic performance is Let There Be Rock from the same concert as this, Live in Glasgow. This one opened the show and Let There Be Rock closed it. Absolute fire.
@@shaundgb7367 Presume It's his Senior school when he started the guitar. Imagine the scene, straight home from school, on the guitar for hours without getting washed or changed. He must driven his parents mad lol. :)
This track is from the live Album "If you want Blood" released in 1978 and given to me by my Uncle as my first Album in 1983 when I was 13 on Vinyl. Still have the Album on my phone today.
❤My #1 band❤ How I'm feeling.😂 You got my subscription on this one. Riff Raff..😅Love when Mal and Angus would duel it out, however Mal was the Riff Master Rhythm of the band. RIP😢Mal. This in my opinion is Malcolm's best one.
This is of the live album if you want blood, recorded in Glasgow Scotland where Angus and his brother Malcom rhythm player were born. The singer Bon Scot was also Scottish: If you wish to see more or Angus playing the song jailbreak live at donighton is well worth checking out ❤️🏴
Well done. Their roots as you may know, was listening to the old blues greats from the few records they had, and, learning from that. Mostly self taught.
Try the tune Bad Boy Boogie at the Apollo Theater in Glasgow April 1978 live performance or the tune Let There Be Rock from the same show. Angus and the boys will blow your mind!!!! Also the original lead singer Bon Scott is the front man. Also feel free to pull up the lyrics so you understand what they are singing about. Hearing any band’s songs for the first time can be difficult and there is no shame in in that!!!! I think it helps the experience!!!! Just saying!!!!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!!😎🍸

@@SWTSU Hahaha you are trying to educate me on the history of the band that's hilarious.I'm from Oz and have been a fan of them before their first album release.
@@robertperry5832 Dude I’m not trying to teach anyone anything!!!!! I’m 63 years old and was also around at the very beginning as well. Dave was a decent bass player but he wasn’t a very good lead singer or song writer and the lads knew it. He was ok to start the band out but he wasn’t going to take them to the heights Malcom and George knew they could reach and they were right. I didn’t kick him out of the band they did!!!!! Don’t blame me just because you liked him. Bands evolve and his time was very limited. That’s all I’m saying. I believe they totally made the right decision to jettison him for Bon. Just my opinion hombre like it or not!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😎🍸
@@SWTSU Dave wasn't the bassist and lead singer that tells me you don't know what you are talking about.63 you unless you are from Australia or New Zealand there's no way you would have even heard of them as they hadn't released a album over sea or left Australia at that early in their career.
it needs to be said...... although Malcolm was "rhythm guitar", and perhaps the best ever rhythmist? Malcolm also "assisted" Angus during "tuff" lead and solos. not taking away any of Angus' greatness. but "the band" drove Mal'. it was his child. legends they became and still are!!!!! rip Mal' and Bon.
lol i just visited the memorial statue to bon today on my way home from aberdeen . when i got home i started playing al the old albums i have yes i said albums thats how old i am i played all of them from high voltage to let there be rock but my fave ever track has to be if you want blood live .
I like Bon Scott AC/DC more than I do the Brian Johnson stuff....other than Back in Black. I love the blues vibe that old AC/DC with Bon Scott has.......dont get me wrong, I still love AC/DC.......but damn this old stuff just rocks.
He is 157cm tall so just a tad over 5 foot one. But he is tiny as well . Probably only weighs 55 -58 kilos 135 pounds. I'm a short guy as well at 5 foot 5 but Im 78kg ( 175 pounds ) an SG still looks big on me but looking at him he makes up for his size with the energy he puts out { or did } Dude was and is the living energizer bunny. Total legend.

So say we all!
Bon is my leader
Bon is not the original though.
@@huginmunin8253 bon is my leader
now I live
Bon is the best Dave Evans does not matter at all

Brian Johnson was who Bon wanted to replace him if anything ever happened to him. He was a fan of Brian's. Give credit due to Brian. Bon was right.
Yep, AC/DC would still be playing in pubs if it were not for Bon Scott.
Bon for life. He was awesome and no one could replace what he brought

Dave Evans was the original singer
@@wayback479 come on mate. That was just the developmental stage. Less than a year.
@@cathyaldridge4550 Hey I agree with you , I grew up with Bon and he epitomises everything AC/DC , but the fact still remains
@@wayback479 yes, you are, technically, correct WB.
@@wayback479
They didn't have ANY albums with Dave Evans.
Bon is a legend and this old Acdc gets overlooked but it fucking hauls 🔥🔥
ANY album with Bon Scott is great.
How can this be their best album ,it doesn't have any of the hits? Hell yeah it is !
AC/DC at their peak.
High voltage rock and roll.
Angus ( lead guitarist) Angus is the ultimate frontman in this band! He is pure energy!
Badboy Boogie....is a Must Hear 💪📢💯
Love the Drumming and how it switches like from off to on, best way I can explain it.
Yeah! Can’t go wrong with 70’s Bon Scott era - Prime AC⚡️DC
The epic bon scott era with angus on the lead guitar the legend himself 👍
Doesn't get much more Rock and Roll than this.
Umpteenth thousandth time hearing. Never gets old
Another classic performance is Let There Be Rock from the same concert as this, Live in Glasgow. This one opened the show and Let There Be Rock closed it. Absolute fire.
The Jack from this live album is the best version
Love Bon Scott ❤❤
Respect for reacting to this one with Bon Scott & Angus in his full school uniform manic best. :)
Love the school uniform. Wonder which school uniform it from.
@@shaundgb7367 Presume It's his Senior school when he started the guitar. Imagine the scene, straight home from school, on the guitar for hours without getting washed or changed. He must driven his parents mad lol. :)
Pure AC/DC here bro
Check out the entire powerage album, it's amazing
There's only ONE Angus as for Bon only ONE of them too RIP
This track is from the live Album "If you want Blood" released in 1978 and given to me by my Uncle as my first Album in 1983 when I was 13 on Vinyl. Still have the Album on my phone today.
My fav AC/DC song
Rock gods 🔥

Well RIP Bon.😢 Forgot him in that comment. This was our bonnie Scotty lad 😂😂 wildman 😂😂.
Such a great performance
6:06 everyone looking at angus and their faces just shows you everything about this band!!! Made status quo look tame
Just 4 the 90th comment. AC/DC Awesomeness.
This is of the live album if you want blood, recorded in Glasgow Scotland where Angus and his brother Malcom rhythm player were born. The singer Bon Scot was also Scottish:
If you wish to see more or Angus playing the song jailbreak live at donighton is well worth checking out ❤️🏴
But all of them moved to Australia when they we're wee boy and learnt their trade in Australia.AC/DC are an a Australian band
Well done. Their roots as you may know, was listening to the old blues greats from the few records they had, and, learning from that. Mostly self taught.
Yo bon scott fucking killed it in acdc. Im a straight up fucking snob when it comes to acdc. Brian johnson aint got shit on bon scott.
This is my fave bon scott era song. Motivation to learn to play guitar! Love to crank this up in my car and watch people look. Lol
checkin in

Thank you: you didn't react to RIVER PLATE!!!
You listened to something other than what UA-cam noobs react to.
🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thank you, for being original
Simply GLORIOUS!!!!!
"They're younger in this one." True...but I wonder if you realize the singer is a totally different person. (Died of alcohol poisoning decades ago.)
That when Angus about 19 years old
Around 45 years old this video !
Eddie Van Halen!!!!
Is that Angus? DAMNED STRAIGHT!!!
you have to hear The Dixie Dregs....Take it off the top....KILLA TUNE.
This was before amps and stuff his amp is actually his backpack
Glasgow Apollo 1978. There's more great footage from that gig.
i enjoyed this with you brother.
I think they recorded the song riff raff in 1977/78
Technically there are better guitarists however Angus is my favorite because NOBODY is better live! You need to check out Big Balls and Big Gun
Think about this when asked about being a Guitar hero Angus said I'm not even the best guitarist in my band.
lol i just visited the memorial statue to bon today on my way home from aberdeen . when i got home i started playing al the old albums i have yes i said albums thats how old i am i played all of them from high voltage to let there be rock but my fave ever track has to be if you want blood live .

That SG looks so big on Angus but on me it looks like a fiddle on me. I'm 6'4" size 16 boot Angus is 5'2". Funny when you down on yer hero.

Youll find ancient statue , its called Simon. . Don Thornton was his dad . Boo .. Kristian.its red.
Big boy shit here fella
Jeff Beck,, have a look 🏴
Yeah dude, thia was probablt 1977 or 1978
could not have said it better SWTSU keep looking to find a bad acdc song
]
This is 73 is maybe
Riff Raff came out in '78 on the Powerage album.
This performance was about a year and a half before Bon died.
Allergies? Plus a blunt
What language are you trying to speak?
No better guitar player than ANGUS ever …..not even Hendrix
Badboy Boogie....is a Must Hear 💪📢💯
when i say let there be rock i ment the live double album.
