The right band, the right time, the right place, the right music. Enjoy it, you will never see it again.
"you will never see it again." Can't speak for anyone else but I don't see music I hear it.
@@rickmcgough8048 you get the point
@@rickmcgough8048 Always one.
It doesn't get any better than this.
@@rickmcgough8048 You will never see a rock band perform a live concert as good as this again, pretty simple to understand, but you managed to make it difficult for yourself...
Bon Scott, easily one of the top 3 frontmen in rock music.
And Alex harvey
was not is and only for a short time before his drug and alcohol habit whipped his ass
without doubt
Had this fucker gone on ? Number 1
It is truly amazing to see him 'live' like this. And Angus going wild too, wow!!
This is AC/DC at their prime to me. Bon Scott was incredible. Angus and Malcolm going off. Phil pounding and Cliff carrying the bass lines....Its epic 70's hard rock at its peak!
Yes
@@timholtzclaw8930 Except that everything sounds pretty much the same. (And the fact that almost every song is in the same key doesn't help.) Don't get me wrong, the band is playing really well here. But the songs started getting better, with much more groove and a bluesier sound. They added space to their riffs--think Highway to Hell, Back in Black, Shook Me All Night Long--compared to this relentless, beat-you-over-the-head garage rock.
@@fretbuzz59 Totally disagree but opinions are opinions.... I just know certain people like to act like they are geniuses
@@billkrebs4227 There's not really much to disagree with regarding my description of the songs. Most of the songs in this set are basically one-chord riffs in the same key. Just click randomly through the video; except for slight tempo changes, most of it sounds like the same song, and it doesn't take a genius to recognize that. But if you like this era better, knock yourself out.
❤😂😅❤
We were spoilt growing up watching them in Australia.
Always loved them in the Bon Scott era.
Watching them 50 odd years later as I grow older, I can’t believe just how good they really were.
The more I watch, the more I’m in awe.
Yes - I loved them then, but I REALLY appreciate how good they were now.
I have always loved AC/DC but just discovered another great Aussie band: Cold Chisel. Bit of a different style but still killer.
@@vagabond197979 yeah Chisel came from the same scene just a few years later
blew my mind little American mind seeing them on The Midnight Special about this time and I've been a fan ever since (Bon era) Angus is great however Malcolm was an absolute RIPPER and may he rock in peace ✌️
I saw them on on this tour 24th May at the Plymouth Metro, a relatively small club. I was right at the front 6 feet from Angus most of the time. It remains to this day the best gig I have ever been to and I've been to a few. They were on top of their game and tight AF. I was 16 then, I'm 60 soon. The opening riff of Riff Raff was LOUD and I remember thinking it's gonna get way louder in a minute. It did. What an opener. Utterly phenomenal. It was so loud your clothes moved around on your body & my ears rang for a week. It probably did some damage to be honest, bands just don't play that loud anymore. We got there early and helped the roadies set up - Angus popped in late afternoon for a soundcheck and quick noodle on his guitar then was driven off at speed in a tuned Ford Granada. It seems an age ago.
this comments are pure gold
Thank you for letting us know about that memorable evening!! I am envious.
Merry Christmas, and take good care!!
I am,

This sounds like a dream . The perfect era of AC/DC too . They were raging in 77 and 78 . Such a great story man .As a fan who was at this show , how was watching them explode with back in black and their evolution til or ? Have you followed each album after and how do you feel about the evolution?
I also saw them on that tour, May 8th 1978, Free Trade Hall Manchester. They ripped the fucking place up.
Nice story. 👌🏻
It doesnt get much better than this ...Epic.
Yes , yes , yes !!!!
Just watched this again. It has to be one of THE best gigs ever. They were on fire and so f*cking tight. What a lot of folks don’t realise is how hard that is to achieve. It’s not just heavy, it’s musically brilliant. The song arrangements are so clever. RIP Bon and Malcolm.
It's rare to see a concert that sounds exactly like the album... But this is one of those moments
@@mahamanahamana8884
Or a concert that doesn't sound like the album.
Or actually a concert that is better than the album.@@mahamanahamana8884
There have been many ACDC shows from the 77,78,79 Era release in the last 20 years. I love being able to play them and feel like I'm at the concert. Long live rock n roll❤
What people also don't realise is how essential Phil Rudd was. They sucked when he wasn't in the band and back to something like themselves when he returned. It's the drag... he hits ever so slightly behind Malcolm and Angus causing the guitar sound to sound even more driving than it already is. Awesome drummer.
Intensity, energy, and power hang their heads in shame for lack of trying, AC/DC teaches the universe to quit pretending, step it up.
My brother Jacky who sadly passed away 4 years ago was at this concert he was 18 at the time and at the end of this video you can see him jumping up and down R.I.P. Jack
@Bon Scott Had the song The Rocker played at his funeral
Exactly have saved the concert to my phone so I can watch it whenever I want
Lovely story Linda. My cousins Billy and John were there, I was a decade too young.
best way to remember him having a good time
Iam bloody jealous... of Jacky.. my he RIP..
1978/79. Acdc was by a million miles, the best band on the planet. Even now, almost 42 years later, I'm thinking about "what might have been" with Bon at the helm. No disrespect to Brian, he came in and did an amazing job, but to me Bon WAS AC/DC. Ride on Bonny
I saw AC/DC twice - once with Bon, once with Brian. Hated Brian, he doesn't sing - just screams. The Bon show was a Xmas special at Birmingham Odeon, where they had two strippers!
They so remind of the good days in high school. I saw AC/DC in SF when 'Back in Black' first came out. Sure wish I would of seen Bon live.
Their live performances had a different type of energy, but during that time frame Van Halen was every bit AC/DC's equal as a live band. The two were without equal as live bands in 78/79.
The reality is that Bon was getting to the stage where AC/DC we’re getting to restrictive when he passed away.
Had he lived he would probably have left within a couple of years and gone on to greater things.
We should all thank Brian for keeping the band together using a live set that is predominately Bon Scott tunes
@@mifune9634 Totally agreed. Both bands carried the rock flame in the midst of disco and punk. And re-energised it as well. Most of the 80s hard rock bands had a little bit of AC/DC and Van Halen influence in their sound.
There will never be another AC/DC. As unapologetically straightforward of a rock band as has ever existed. No frills, no tricks, no gimmicks...what you see is what you get.
The school uniform is a gimmick
what you see is what you get....again and again.... and again.
@@terri6854 Not really. If Angus didn't wear that would you even notice?
@@muzikdude1188 Gimmicks usually are superfluous. But the point is, did he/they get NOTICED MORE because he wore the school uniform? And the answer is undeniably, yes.
@@terri6854 Funny, I didn't see what they looked like until long after Back in Black so how they looked mattered not at all to me. It was their unique and fantastic sound that hooked me.
Malcolm been sporting that same hair cut from the beginning to the end, god bless Malcolm and all the great music he gave us, thank you Malcolm.
"If You Want Blood You've Got It" is one of the greatest live albums ever made.
Word 🔥
Word is BORN !!!!!!!!!!
Plus it was at the best venue ever - The much missed Apollo
that is true!!!
And the coolest album cover ever !!!!!
No one has or ever will rock like acdc
Phil Rudd is the king. His drumming here is just awesome.
Yes, he is like a steam locomotive at full speed in Let there be rock in particular. Absolutely unstoppable and very, very powerful. I love the sound mix in this video. It is intense, club-like and especially the rhythm section comes across as incredibly tight.
The original
I agree, completely underrated
Flawless timing, groove and power. What a machine. He deserves a lot more credit!
I call Phil 'Father Timing' because of how spot on he is with his style of playing.
I was fortunate enough to be at this concert in Glasgow. It was actually the third time I'd seen them. The first time was at Glasgow University. That concert was shut down by the police after complaints about noise from the neighbours. I remember Bon Scott saying to the few dozen students "We'll be back." They certainly did come back as this concert proved. The band liked to play in Glasgow as they had close family members there.
Must have been awesome, what a life memory!
Everyone who went there said it was the loudest gig they have ever been to is it the same to you?
Angus and Mal were born in Glasgow.
This entire show needs to be released
It does
It was mostly
If you want blood album
If it is they will be showing that Rosie is not live and other tweaks to the recording.
The 'If you Want Blood' live LP 1978 was mostly this gig. The best version of Rocker ever - in the Rangers kit. Who knew? I am more than a little jealous of you guys who saw the Bonn Scott ACDC, I saw them first time at Donington '84.
i concur
Still have my ticket stub along with Bon’s autograph on an Embassy Regal packet!
No f**king way
Can beat that, sneaked in a 35 mm still got the prints
I was there to, must have been 16.. unfortunately can’t roll back time
Thats cool 😎
@HockeyRules I was similar 3 times ( 2 with Bon , then the Back in Black tour) at the Apollo, then around 2015 in Adelaide
This version of "Let There Be Rock" is hauntingly great!. RIP Bon & Mal.
It sure is.
Whenever you're feeling down, watching this concert will lift your spirit high. Greatest live performance ever.
First thing in the morning..💯🎶
32:40 pause the video.
Nobody can compete with the intense energy of Angus Young on guitar!!
He played like a possessed man, awesome!!!!
Always preferred Mal myself,engine room of band. Fantastic band
There was one. Mal
Three guys actually ..Malcolm, Cliff and Phil...
And Bon when Angus was riding his shoulders
That's AC/DC at their peak, after their in my opinion best album Powerage.
It's raw, it's powerful, it's rock!
Agreed. There is no filler on that album and their best "sound" on a studio album.
What a great album. My alltime favorite is gone shootin, it has such a great vibe!
It’s BOOGIE. Not heavy metal; R, and indeed BEEEEE, at volume…11. Come on, you know!
Totally agree, fore sure the best rock album if it comes to riffs. The power, energy and rythm in those songs are unmatched by any other band in my opinion.
4 me is the same the best albums are : power\let\highway ....and the others ( BON ERA )
This is as good as it will ever get for rock music. There are so many marvelous rock bands that have come and have gone. But for me, no band had this perfect combination of raw power, talent, no-bullshit-song structure and flawless execution as AC/DC in the late 70s. I am not a fan of hyperbole the way it can be found in comment sections around UA-cam, but this was the top of the top of the top of rock and roll coming together to form the perfect band: The best lead guitarist of a generation, a man born to be a rock and roll-singer - breathing and living the rock and roll lifestyle to the fullest with all his heart, the best bassist a rockband can wish for, the best rhythm guitarist a rockband can ever wish to have and a drummer that is as tight as it can get - forming the best, most song-serving and tightest rhythm section ever. And all of them come together to grace the world with this performance of a lifetime. AND it was captured on film!
Nailed it.
agree. so much better than anything i've heard on the following tour. bon's voice was just so commanding here. was beyond perfection.
Never got to see Bonn, but I've worked them a few times through the 90s-10s. Always a hell of a show, loud AF, and they always had a professional and cool road crew. I am fortunate to have seen the stuff from the other side of the stage...
Yes Rock!
AC/DC at their peak. Phil Rudd is a machine.
yawn. i love when people just repeat what others (brian, in this case) say
I was at the Hammersmith Odeon show in London on this tour. They were incredible.
How old are you😁
@@andreasdistler2799 - 60. I was born in Ladbroke Grove in West London which is about 20 mins by train to the Hammersmith Odeon.
@@Samcon95 legend😎💪👍
@Aarron Lane -incredible. They were blisteringly loud but so on it. Bon was the Master. No flashy light show - just a full on sonic assault.
I was at this gig, cost me £2 ! in the circle.
We also went to Back in Black tour about four years later.
We weren't to happy that Brian Johnson got the job, thought the guy from Nazareth Dan MacCafferty should have got it.Sounds much closer to Bon Scott's vocals.
But changed our minds after the gig as it was fuckin brilliant.
McCafferty should still have got the gig though imho
Ladies and gentlemen.... the best Goddamn Rock N Roll band and lineup to ever exist... We will never feel the power AC/DC brings from any other band. Sorry. And Bon Scott is hands down the ABSOLUTE BEST FRONTMAN OF ALL TIME... I mean how could anyone argue with that voice and charisma... just wow ✌🖤🤘
@My Email lol that's because only pussies wear anything with shoelaces all the time. My mans was mostly a boot guy ;-) they are good yes... actually idk where in the fuck you're getting Axle being even anywhere near the top 10 lol. Hes authentic I'll give you that. Generic as fuck though lol. And he acts like a HUGE pussy on stage too lol! Bon would literally probably woop his ass 😂 His lyrics are pretty elementary too so I guess I could see why "some folks" like him lol. But in terms of originality and influence Bon and Robert are hands down top 5. Axle realistically is more down there next to guys like Dio an the White Snake singer. Which Dio gets a bad rap sometimes but you got to think in a broad perspective. And ACDC in the 70s is by far the best straight up Rock N Roll band there ever was. Their albums and the production of them are light years better than anything Guns N Roses ever did that wasn't mainstream. Most everything they did was somewhat mainstream.. We're talking about super classic albums like Powerage that influenced guys like Axle and Slash lol... No comparison at all bro sorry.. Slash and Axle would probably say the same thing and you know it. You can't change facts.
@My Email what? Lol oh lord only douche bags use that word 😂 and it also doesn't make much sense the way you said it.. lol use the word in a better context next time you decide to be a tool ;-)
And as I said in a previous comment, this is the best Bon ever sounded. None of the studio LP's capture his fire like this one
He was just the BEST! No one impressed me like Bon Scott did!
Bon Scott at his best. The best Rock and Roll frontman of all time! Watch him own the stage.
Im 62 now, and loved all types of music, i look back at ACDC this period, they had to be the greatest rock band on the planet, to me , they had the whole package, Brilliant..
In 1978 I was 13 years old and just beginning my rock journey, THIS band was one of the biggest influences on me and where I've gone since then. The first album I ever bought as a kid was Let There Be Rock - I still have it. I now sit here not far from where this was recorded in a venue that sadly no longer exists in my late 50's with fucking tears streaming down my face of pure joy at watching and hearing these gorgeous fucking lunatics once more in their prime.
Bro. I was there and i was only 15yo at the time. This video almost made me cry because of the powerful memory it triggered in me. That was one of about 4 or 5 shows i saw in a 10 day period at the Apollo. All big acts.
I was 4
'65 BABY!!
AC/DC FOR LIFE!!
what an album to be your first. mine was wings greatest...
let there be rock is my #1 from the bon era.
Late 70s AC/DC is absolutely flawless! Firing on all cylinders !
32:40 pause the video.
The sticky carpets. The red sequined wallpaper. The 12 foot high stage. The bouncing balcony. For the band the Apollo was a return to the lands of their fathers. The band always looked after their Scottish fans well, and this gig was legendary when I was a young fella.
Admit. Is gold. And it holds value till it's gone. Thank you for that.
Agreed - my first gig was Maiden at the Apollo in ‘84. Awesome place.
@@mrc2662 My first gig was Split Enz at the QM, then Frank Zappa in the Apollo both in 1977. My dad got the tickets and thought he'd got a good deal on seats down the front! I saw Zappa, but the rest of the band was hidden by the 12 foot stage!
Zappa came on stage and looked down at me in the pit and just snarled and shook his head.
Great days.
@@periurban love it :). My memories there also include Manowar ‘fighting onstage’ with swords and furry nappies, Fish leading choruses of ‘Gizza bun’, Nikki Sixx looking effortlessly cool and pointing at me as the only one doing the devil horns in between songs (or so I’d like to think), Bon Jovi supporting Kiss (awesomely) and so much more. Used to go through to the Playhouse often too, and Barrowlands for Motörhead was an insane mix of metalheads and punks. Good times, great music.
@@iaincochrane8741 Toughest audience to get on side, but once they loved you it was all good.
There's something about Bon, he had that strut, that charisma, those lyrics and that voice, the way he came across, you can't take your eyes off him besides Angus of course. No disrespect to Brian of course. I would've loved to have seen them at this time but was only a kid. Jesus they were/are a powerhouse here, Powerage my favourite album it's a classic IMO. Fantastic footage.
A lot of people say 'Powerage' is their favorite. I believe it is mine too. Or the 'Let There Be Rock' album. Classics. Big time.
And to think not long prior to this, he was a bearded, flute playing hippie in a band called Fraternity. There’s footage on UA-cam of Bon and Fraternity. In that footage there’s no clue that he would become the bare chested, scream machine ACDC frontman, and become a legend in his own right. A great loss that’s for sure, and still felt today. Many rockers cite Bon as an influence and rightly so!!
Vale Bon.❤
They really may be the best rock band in history.
When I was a kid, I was working for Triumph as their special effects designer & operator, and it was during ‘78 tour of theirs they opened up for us in St. Louis. We didn’t know their music yet, but we DID know we didn’t stand a chance against them after the first song. I still love ‘em now, but with Bon, they were the BEST ever.
Triumph is still kick ass . Congratulations for being a part of the best of the best
That Is Awesome
I saw them open for UFO about same time in Peoria,Illinois.Left everyone stunned.
Damn that's like when I seen Ted Nugent open for Aerosmith - damn Ted blew it away Rock On
I was 28 when I saw them in Wolverhampton, I am now 74 and have every tour programme since 1976 - family heirlooms ! ANGUS FOREVER YOUNG - may he never stop.
74 AND STILL ROCKIN BLESS YA DAVÉ I'M 65 AND AND STILL LOVE IN IT. J.TULL'S FAMIOUS WORDS NEVÉR TOO OLD TO ROCKIN ROLL BUT MUCH TOO OLD TO DIE. KEEP A ROCK-N HAPPY HOLIDÀYS🥳🎶🎶✌️🏈☮️👍🏻☃️

I salute you sir! I'm 53 and a metalhead for life! Never will any band compare to AC/DC. Especially in this time frame...
@@davevon3334 yea rock on fuckyea and funky them all
ku/dos!
God, this is just so, so good. Absolutely no holds barred, kicked in the teeth Rock and roll. So pure, so elemental, so direct and so urgent. Truly this band in their live prime. This is the real fucking deal, and simply can't be matched. As good as it gets.
For me Powerage is the greatest AC/DC album of all time.. every track is just killer ..🎸🎸🎸
Yes totally agreed
Needless to say, when AC/DC handed in Powerage to Atlantic, the label didn't hear a hit single, and this was meant to be the point at which the band started producing hit singles. But the album was already at the point of production, so the European version of the album was released without said single, and a track called 'Cold Hearted Man' (which was on my copy of Powerage, the first album I ever bought) until it could be substituted for 'Rock 'N' Roll Damnation', which duly became the hit. In truth, it's not all that much of a song - it's messy and old-fashioned compared to the rest of the album, with a riff that's barely evolved from the boogie of their earliest recordings. But by God, did Vanda and Young throw everything at it to make it a hit. As Mark Opitz told Fink: "You can hear Vanda and Young in 'Rock 'N' Roll Damnation'. The hooks. Shakers coming in. Tambourine to get the groove. Which if you notice is just like [John-Paul Young's] 'Love Is In The Air'. They were very big on lots of Motown tricks."
Powerage proved to be the end of one road for AC/DC. The hit single secured, the pressure was on to go to the next level. That meant George Young and Harry Vanda stepping aside as producers, to be replaced by first Eddie Kramer and then, of course, Mutt Lange. It meant them sacking their manager, Michael Browning. Atlantic felt Powerage was too hard for US radio, which was where the label wanted the band to be, and Malcolm and Angus Young were perfectly willing to shake up everything surrounding the band to become the biggest rock band in the world.
Sales figures tell us they were right to do so. It's hard, too, to argue that Highway To Hell and Back In Black were anything other than great albums. But it's telling, too, that when a band comes along that wants to capture the sound of AC/DC - bands like Airbourne or Rhino Bucket - it's not Back In Black they try to recreate; instead it's usually as if they're trying to make the album AC/DC might have made between Powerage and Highway To Hell, where the sound and toughness of the former meets the accessibility of the latter. Powerage, still, is peerless.

Damn right!
This sounds like these stupid "Messi is better than Penaldo" or "CR7 eats Messi" internet fights 🤦🏽♂️
It doesn't help and doesn't bring us on a next level.
There were so many groups/Artists, some of them brought a lot to Rock Music (Hendrix, EVH refreshing the old tapping technique, Dio, without digging deeper in the crates).
I've seen lots of shows, many AC/DC concerts with Bon and with Brian (i didn't want to see them with axl) and I appreciated all of them and they all came with their different vibes. I dgaf if someone I don't know thinks Satriani is better than SRV... Same if he thinks Kpop is best music that has ever been played. Art is not a competition and you can enjoy Music without needing to make useless rankings.
Let's just enjoy AC/DC's Music and Artists.
Let there be rock live at the Apollo Theatre has got to be close to the best live performance of all time. I have lost count of how many times i have watched it.
Damn- this rocks like a monster. And Phil Rudd/ Cliff Williams keeping the groove like a freight train runnin wild, epic👊
please don't forget the Master of rythm guitar, the conductor of the band, the one and only Malcolm Young.
@@jonizefox Indeed....that rhythm section is locked so tight and makes what is probably the best band to ever exist....amazing!

Wow, I'm almost in tears, I was at this concert at the famous Glasgow Apollo back then. Just before Scotland's I'll fated trip to the World cup in Argentina.
So much for Ally’s Army. :( Still - that Gemmill goal, eh?
all our world cup attempts have been ill fated alan 🤦♂️ i loved the apollo, saw Queen there on 1st dec 1979 👑✊🇬🇧
Alan please no more mentions of Argentina 78. I m 61 now and that nightmare stills haunts me...
😁 does anybody know if wee Shuggie McGlinchie made it back from Buenos Aires. 😆😆😆😆
FYI this is just a wee joke in ref to the many who apparently did not come back home from Argentina 1978.
Remember it all to well Ian. The Tartan army trying to hire and or steal submarines to get there.
'Powerage' = My absolute favorite AC/DC album, the sounds of the album, the timbre of the guitars are so real, so tasty, warm and crunchy clear (Malcolm) and cutting, piercing, slashing (Angus), if you close you're eye its' like being there in the studio w/ them.... the songs are kick ass Hard Boogie Blues Rock N Roll as good as it gets.
I was in the audience for this gig. Amazing. It was the first time we had ever experienced radio mics, so we were mystified that Angus could crowd surf and keep playing. A defining moment for all us Apollo regulars, many thanks for posting.
I'm forever jealous. If I could have one last concert for the rest of my life, I would love to have seen AC/DC in a theater venue in 78 or 79. Born too late sadly.
Yeah I was watching just now thinking they must have had wireless. Bit risky to use back then, it wasnt solid tech at all.
@@Ukraineaissance2014They had theirs specially designed and built by an engineer. It wasn’t on “off the shelf” product
The Young family lived on Startpoint St in the Cranhill area of Glasgow's East End. They emigrated to Australia in 1963 . Their older brother George Young was the lead singer with 60's band The Easybeats had a top 10 hit in 66 with " Friday on my Mind " . A great musical family.
My grannie lived in Startpoint street, the block next to the firemens, and there were no Young’s on i5. They stayed the other side of Cranhill park, on Skerryvore street.
George was guitarist and backinh singer Stevie Wright was the lead singer of the Easybeats.

Many hit alboms for a lot of Aussie
Artists but also produced, High Voltage ,TNT , Dirty Deeds, Let there be rock and Powerage
Fine.
The best "Bad Boy Boogie" performance !
Greatest ever version of bad boy boogie, absolutely blows your face off every time…. One of the best bands of all time at the very top of their game. Incredible
100%. makes the studio version seem tame.
@@toddinthemiddleYeah and the studio version is just bad
I saw AC/DC on their first album tour. I’m 65 years old with a lot of hearing loss today.
I worked that show..they did not film the whole show..due the film cartridge they used..they needed time to swap the cartridge do selected the songs they were going to film.. sorry everyone there will never be more than what we already have..
Ladies and gentlemen... Bon Scott & the Volts! 🎼🎸🎶🤘☇
Oll right
Bon was/is the greatest front man of them all, absolutely electric.
I believe he is
The secret to AC/DC is the open chords that just ring out so much and give the grit that they, and only they can give. They got great mileage from A-D-G-E
Love these lads, saw them many times back in the Bonn days, only once with Brian during the Back in Black tour.
I saw them live after the release of "For those about to rock" in N.J. About a month later, I started my gig as a live rock radio DJ on WVRM in Hazlet, N.J. First song I played was For those about to rock! The phone lines lit up like it was Christmas!!
Oh ya totally. I just love farting around with a E G D A or an A C G D run.
The Best Lineup Here In ACDC History .... Scott , Young Brothers , Rudd And Williams .... I Was Lucky To See Them 2 Times In 1979 .... Never Forget !!!!!!!
Greatest rock and roll band ever. And sprinkled with a lot of Bon Scott on top?!?! Sheeeeittt
That must be one their best ever concerts with Angus at his best,so glad it was captured on film...WOW 😮

Have to agree and I'm from Edinburgh 🤘
@@alemgas Think it was the same guy who designed the Edinburgh Playhouse that did the Apollo. Great its still standing. Think it was basically the SECC that killed off the venue in the mid-80s along with it starting to crumble.
NO place has ever rivalled the electric atmosphere and superb acoustics of the old Apollo, the greatest Glasgow venue bar none....
One of their very best! Iconic performance!
Bon forever! ❤️
Best version of let there be rock
Let there be Rock is really just the perfect live song when they perform it... Unbeatable....
I with you. I had never seen the video they made for it until I came across it on UA-cam a few years ago. ANd it was already 40 years old then. That was so well done. It became one of my favorite songs all of a sudden. it also made me go find out more about the early forming of the band and all that. I gained a much needed kick in the ass for discounting them with regard to their true talent and musical knowledge learning about Malcolm's rock steady rythym playing wherin Angus fed off that. And I can thank that "Let there be Rock" video with Bon Scott at the pulpit. Oh and Angus with the Halo on his head. Cute. I watch it ever few months now. I have always liked AC/DC. I place themeasily in the top 10 Rock n Roll Bands of All Time.
For me the song Let There Be Rock was AC/DC's heaviest tune, at least in my opinion. It was a great show i know as i was there as a 15yo. Now im 60.
Rocker is the best tune they produced. All time greatest song from any rocknroll band.
Nobody in the history of music has ever gone at it as hard as Angus Young and nobody ever will equal his energy.
Agreed, Pete Townsend and Randy Rhodes were awesome Talents all were worth the price of admission 😎
I was just in front of the building which used to be the Apollo. I have goosebumbs and listen to the unforgotten Bon Scott ❤❤❤❤
...Mr.Bon Scott...one and only true street rock and roll singer and leader...pure emotion and raw power...Bon 4 ever💯✨⚡✨💫😎

ATABOY!😀
Thank YOU very muche.👍🤝
Absolutely brilliant. I saw them on the tour.Angus Young is an animal on stage you gotta love every bit of it. RIP Bon Scott
Angus is simply hypnotic..bloke is literally buzzing...never will there ever be another Angus...so tight on the guitar .his whole body involved in his performance...such a one off..that was one hell of a good gig
This is pure…this is live…this is music as it has to be🙏🏻🎸🎸
I’m 59, when I was 16 I was in a record shop buying albums second hand 😊, when I saw this crazy looking Powerage album,I brought it home and it was and still is one of my greatest albums I ever had. This band is the definition of rockanroll, love the bon days.it really don’t feel that long ago?.
That’s my favourite AC/DC album. Eddie Van Halen loved ‘Downpayment Blues’. Keith Richards has cited the album as a favourite too.
me too he taken from us to young
Thank you Mike, now 75, and still in awe of Angus !
Wow! What a voice man. Too bad he had to go so young
Bon was a great singer, Brian isn't. He just screeches. Saw AC/DC twice, once with Bon and once with Brian (Back In Black).
Bonn’s voice is 100% on point this show,...easily hitting the high notes, not stopping and voice only breaking up when he wants....fantastic vocal performance......
Bon was absoloutley awesome but
Boy oh boy did he hit it hard .
He nearly died in a motorbike crash in Adelaide Oz 71 or 72 maybe a bit later and was in a coma.
Last few videos of him at end Highway to hell tour it was catching up on him and his voice was not the best.
RIP Bon
Not one of Chuck's Children got it any better than Angus. Please excuse the foul language, but this is just TIGHTER THAN FUCK. Bad Boy is amazing. The way the band comes out of a break, sometimes with no more queue than Angus' arm, is just so perfect. I've been playing almost as long as Angus, and he is still a guitar god to me. Why, oh WHY, has there not been a Grammy special for him? Criminal. Just frikkin criminal. Get your heads out your butts Grammy people. Celebrate this amazing man while you still have a chance.
Exactly right Been listening to this since the age of 15 and still love it and canr get enough of this band. I don't know how a band can write so many kick- ass songs with three or four chords. Malcolm is/was the Man and main songwriter of that band. Never got to see them with Bon Scott, but hearing those energy giving songs that make/ made me go spastic and feel hyped and epically energized in 7th. grade until pretty much today was/is great. Lol. Good times.
Granny
💯 percent facts 🥃
Angus is the greatest ROCK guitarist of all time, bar none. Hendrix, Page, Beck, Santana, Blackmore are all absolute legends, but their styles were much more eclectic. Angus is PURE FUCKING ROCK AND ROLL.
Iam so bloody jealous of all of those who saw this tour live... OMG they were so young.. the ..Young brothers!!
Riff-raff is simply face-melting.
Watching this has put me in an amazing mood, great performance!!!🤘😈🤘
Me too brother. - was kinda down. Now I have a big smile.
Until recently I never knew any of this footage existed. If You Want Blood is by FAR my favorite AC/DC release. Just my opinion (I don't want to upset anyone), but I truly believe the performance here is superior to any studio release they did with Bon. None of the studio LP's capture the fire and aggression they have in this live show. Bon's voice is BLAZING. Lightning in a bottle, once in a millenium kinda stuff. He shows here why he's the undisputed greatest frontman of his generation.
If you want blood is the worlds best live album, and it needs to be listened to with 70' speakers :D
I just found this footage tonight. It sounds so good. Playing through my Sonos sound bar and it’s got a great punch to it. As a Scot who lived just outside Glasgow for many years it’s so cool to se them with the old Scotland top on. Bon is still a legend!
The "if you want blood" version of Rosie got as much airplay as the studio, where I live in US. I wore out several copies on cassette.
I am in AWE!! I never knew it, either. Am howling with delight! Where's the rest of it?
Crazy Right ?
For me the Powerage record is probably one of the greatest balls in your face rock n roll records of all time! Never gets old however many times I play it!
Have never heard them sound better. What a performance.
At their peak. Un-bloody-believably good.
Rock n' roll perfection!
I honestly think ACDC are the greatest band of all time. Timeless. Genius
Best band ever before and after, i was 14 , how lucky i was , let there be joy !
The driving, perfectly timed rhythm guitar of Malcolm Young is what really stands out to me about this performance.
We were at the Victoria Hall Keighley west Yorkshire gig in 1978. 250 in attendance. Wow. Amazing. Cant find any footage 😔
I saw them 43 years ago for the Highway to hell Tour in France, it was the most exciting show of my entire life as we can see here it's only rock n roll but I like it 🤟 Thank you to post this concert, the sound is just incredible and powerfull, Bon was the boss 💪
wore this record out in my teenage years, still have the record 41 years later
Let There Be Rock, first single I ever heard by AC/DC in 1978, I was 14, best heavy rock band ever and Glasgow Apollo, best venue ever
This is seriously powerful AC/DC!
I was around 7 or 8 years old when I started listening to AC/DC. Back in the 70's.
During their live shows in this era of the band’s history, it didn’t take Bon and Angus very long before they had complete control of the audience…amazing!
I love AC/DC. I'm 60yrs old and saw them 6 times in the early 80's, 3 different tours in New England. Driving my 6.6 Liter Trans Am (401 cubic") in Boston on the Highways, T-Roof's off, on gorgeous sunny days cruising for chicks on my Highway to Hell!!! LOL! AC/DC and Fast Cars were my fix back then;-)
The Centrum in Worcester?
@@rustybeltway2373 Yes, How Did You Know???
Just WOW WOW WOW WOW WOOOOOWWWWWWWW
What ya see is what ya get!! That was AC/DC, i feel so lucky to have seen them a number of times around Melbourne in the 70's. seeing them in local council halls and different pubs. It was wild. Always love them!
Best live album ever. In my opinion!
Thank you for restoring and uploading this absolute masterpiece of a life show. The whole band is on fire here, particularly Bon and Angus! Nothing to say about Malc as he is as rock solid as he was every other gig with AC/DC. Best rhythm player there ever was.
As a 25 year old there would be nothing better than going back to this night in 1978, 50 miles from where I grew up, with a few beers spending the night in that sweaty, smoke filled room listening and rocking out to the best version of AC/DC there was live and in the flesh. Very clique but I do wish I grew up in this era, with proper music, before the world became so soft, boring and self obsessed. I have tried to find them believe me but you just don’t get gigs or music like this anymore sadly.
All due respect to AC/DC who inspired me to play guitar and Bon who absolutely rules, EVH is the greatest rhythm guitarist of all time
John lennon was the best rhythm guitarist. People laugh when I say this until I show them isolated rhythm guitar from beatles early and mid period especially.
Who plays the best guitar? Who fcukn cares? Boys were raisin the roof that night.
@@Ukraineaissance2014 Y no te olvides de BOB DIDDLEY saludos!! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🤟🏻⚡
Been shown regularly on Rage for the last 3 decades in better quality. Must’ve been an exhaustive restoration process.
OH BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is how it’s done, folks. Band firing on all cylinders and just incredible. RIP Bon and Malcolm. 🙏
The absolute best song ever
What an absolute legendary performance from an amazing band, I wish I could've been there but I don't think my Mum and Dad would've let me, not all the way up tae Glasgae from Ayrshire by myself at nearly 10 years old.
Saw them three times , they are Awesome !
Glasgow Apollo great and not for the faint of heart
Very true, sticky carpet and sweaty, shiny walls, unique atmosphere
ACDC is the greatest Rock Act and Band in history. With Bon the greatest frontman ever.
Impossible not to love AC/DC. A REAL rock'n'roll band at the top!! Miss you, guys!
THIS is pure 4/4 rock and roll, with the sheer raw miracle of the musical genius in the schoolboy uniform and the REAL singer of AC/DC.
