I got the opportunity to work backstage for AC/DC in April 1988 in Munich Germany on their Blow up your Video tour. I was only 14 at the time and knew a good friend that got me the job because he knew I was a big fan. I was helping unload all their equipment from semi trucks and placing it on the stage to be set up. One semi truck was completely full of Hamm's beer. I got paid, fed, free t-shirt and the best seat in the arena (on the sound stage in the middle of the floor). Seeing Angus Young's Gibson SG's lined up all the way down the hall backstage when you're a big fan at 14 years old was like Heaven to me! If there's anything I won't forget in life, it would definitely be that night in April of 1988! RIP Malcolm Young
oh man!!! amazing!!!
What a great story! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Holy shit, what a memory of a lifetime.
I was at this show, center stage 3 rows back, I was 14 myself took my best friend along with my brother s girl friend. Lucky for me she was a AC/ DC fan and drove us to the show. he was slinging sweat every were when he came on the floor on Brian Johnson s shoulders.ive seen them several times after but that was the best show.
👍🏽
This was 40 years ago and its still the coolest best opening song in rock concert history.
Agreed!
I second that@@PittsburghMarky
Sorry that belongs to Live Wire
@@taedar No, Live Wire is 2nd to this ...
@@bonwrentaylor2743 No!!! Live wire destroys this
Flick of the Switch is one of AC/DC's most underrated albums. This song is awesome and most of the other tracks on the album are solid too.
+Simon Coles you are TOTALLY right man
+Simon Coles History didn't judge it as kindly as it probably should have.....but it's really not one of their better records. I'd say it's rated a tiny bit under. but "most underrated".....no way.
True
AC/DC has a lot of underrated albums like "Fly on the Wall."
+SuperVerst In my opinion Fly on The Wall deserves its status as one of the worst AC/DC albums. It has a couple of cool tracks but the production of the album is crap and really ruins AC/DC's sound.
Say what you want but Simon is kicking some serious butt on this one!
Simon Wright is an amazing drummer!
Brian really is one of the best singers ever in rock. It's brutal the way he sings! How the fuck does he not get a headache?! Lol Love that dude!
Who said he doesn't?
@@randybradley4151 I was going to say that too...
@@randybradley4151 Hes no Bon Scott
@@AbdassLeo_ Are you saying Bon Scot got more headaches than Bryan Johnson?Because that is what we are talking about.
Was it any real surprise Brian's hearing starting deteriorating so badly in recent years. The noise from those guitars would deafen an elephant...
That intro gives me goosebumps…so darn pure! Just a darn good band getting ready to kick butt! And the lighters, much more atmospheric than stupid cell phones
That blues thing at the start was fantastic. As much as I get that their shows were made to be intense and exciting from start to finish, I wish we'd heard more stuff like that from them- though that said, we could hardly ask for more than they've already contributed to music!
If you want to hear more blues from him, go back to before his adventure with ACDC.
@@robertsullivan3877 whose adventures? Angus? Malcolm? Did they record anything, pre-AC/DC?
@@Tom-it6gi I was referring to lead singer Brian Johnson. He was the lead singer for a blues band called "Geordie"
@@robertsullivan3877 gotcha.
I've always loved it. Imagine being there listening to that.
Flick of the Switch is easily AC/DC's most underrated and underappreciated album.
Actually my favourite
*easily their best album
LOVE IT. PURE ENERGY
Agreed. And "Landslide," such a monster of a riff.
Agreed. I would also argue Fly on the Wall is right there with it.
the intro is heart touching
Yes it is my friend.
Indeed
yep.
Yes i agree...that little blues jig just to warm up!
bo diddley would be proud
....and people actually WATCHED the bands back then instead of looking at them through their phones!!
What I really love about AC/DC's stage showmanship was during the verses the focus is on Brian and Angus, and during the chorus Malcolm and Cliff would come forward into the spotlight and then retreat for the next verse. It's really simple but brilliant. That visual really helps keep things fresh.
I know!
The thing I love about AC/DC is that they make me feel like I've been friends with them for years, even though I haven't met them. I feel like I'm having a conversation with them when I watch stuff like interviews even though I've never been able to say anything to them. They always puts a smile on my face and make me happy, ever since I first got into AC/DC before I could walk. thank you AC/DC. You've inspired me as a 17 year old to pick up my guitar, microphone, drums and bass and give it my best shot to make more rock n roll in the world.
If you ever get to meet them, they are like that in real life. Friendly, down to earth, nice people. Good luck with the rock!
@@davidsmith8997 spot on truth! I met Angus and Malcolm after a show in San diego. Angus was walking to their bus alone in the parking lot after the concert and we yelled out for an autograph. He walked over and obliged us and then actually took us on the bus to meet Malcolm and take a couple pics with them. unreal what humble and regular blokes they were. jeez
after all these yrs, I keeping coming back to this live performance.
Those blues in the intro... that's where it all comes from
Man, I could so listen to Angus and Malcolm groove on some blues for a couple of hours.
This whole video is the epitome of Rock N Roll, and what Rock N Roll stands for. No fancy anything, just a bunch of Lads hangin out rehearsing and chatting, for a crowd of people the same as them.
There was a Malcolm quote a long the lines of "There are a lot of rock bands and a lot of metal bands but there aren't too many rock n roll bands anymore. I suppose us and the Stones and we're way harder than the Stones."
Brian Johnson at 2:39 knows he is in the best band in the history of rock n roll.
Guitars slice u in half...Saw this concert in Hamilton
I love the relationship between Angus and Brian in these videos!!!
This is the blues
He must have brain
Damage
Banging his head
Flick Of The Switch was the first AC/DC album I ever bought!
The beginning is great but that ending is very powerful as well. Such classy rockers those guys.
"Guns For Hire" is so freaking awesome!!! I love the "Flick of the Switch" album so much, and this is my favorite song on that smoldering classic of an album! This reminds me of the first time I saw AC/DC live. It was on this very tour, a few weeks earlier in San Antonio, Texas. I have seen AC/DC live many times, but that '83 concert was absolutely the best of them all!
Searing hot vocals
Angus Young is a fantastic guitarist and energetic showman! He's one of my top 10 favorite guitarists of all time.
Jumpin' JAKE Flash He is my favorite guitarist of all time and ac/dc is my favorite rock band of all time.
Flash, I'm curious about the other 9. Care to share? I'm purely curious. . .
Zach Morgan 1. Stevie Ray Vaughan
2. Jimi Hendrix
3. Keith Richards
4. Eddie Van Halen
5. Jeff Beck
6. Angus Young
7. Jimmy Page
8. Eric Clapton
9. David Gilmour
10. Brian May
I'm digging Keith Richards at no. 3. Interesting that he is up there. Maybe I have some more research to do! Great list.
In my opinion richards in third position is ok but I love rhythm guitar and for me the best guitarist of all time is Malcolm Young. Second Billy Gibbons and third Richards. Jimi Hendrix is out of any list, he's always anywhere
RIP Malcolm Young and RIP "Fast" Eddie Clarke of Motorhead and Fastway (touring with AC/DC at the time). Great little jam at the intro between the brothers Young. Its a touching bit of guitar banter before the show. What a tandem!
Absolute kickarse performance. Love how Malcolm and Cliff stepped up front for choruses, then back to the engine room between. Johnny and Dee Dee did this classic move in Ramones shows too. Zippos in the audience, not frikkin' phone screens. FWIW, I like LTBR and Powerage albums most : )
i saw this tour in Cleveland when i was 15!!!!!! i still remember it, believe it or not. What a great show. i've come full circle, i just saw them in Cleveland again in september, and they still kicked ass. so glad i went, one of the greatest bands ever.
klaws32
Sorry it had to be in Cleveland.
Saw these guys on 15th October 1982 at the then Hammersmith Odeon in London on the For Those About to Rock tour....awesome night and will never forget!! Last saw them at Wembley Stadium in London on 26th June 2009 on the Black Ice tour.....and they still fuckin' rocked!!!! One of the best rock n roll bands in history without a shadow of a doubt! AC/DC...Amen!!!
+Winer Lover October 1982. I would have loved to have been able to see them that year
yo los vi en Argentina , Estadio de River pley., una MASAAAAA
Amen Brother never a true word spoken
Nov 83 Memphis Coliseum with Fastway...rocked the house down. The ceiling tiles were falling from above the crowd great veiw my nosebleeds seats... for those about to Rock cannons bout crumbled the old stadium lol. Yeaaaa. Only in America baby...peace out
Seen them in Wembley also
I am a huge AC DC fan and saw them live in 1983 on the same tour in Montreal. I can’t believe that I didn’t have this song on my regular playlist- brilliant song!!
Saw this Tour @The Cow Palace in San Francisco, Ca
Simply EPIC ears rang 3 days later. 🙌🏾
POWERAGE and FLICK OF THE SWITCH underrated...I would put BALLBREAKER up there too...great albums in my opinion
Ballbreaker is amazing!
Powerage is underrated by casual fans, but us true hardcore fans know that it’s easily their best. But Flick? CRIMINALLY underrated. Big time. That record absolutely RIPS start to finish. It’s balls to the wall, unfiltered, unapologetic hard rock. The way rock n roll is meant to be played. Cheers to other fellow AC/DC fanatics!
@@VikingVern If only they had Mutt with them on that album. It would be even greater. I mean I like how raw it is but I also would like it polished like Back in Black and Highways to Hell. It's really underrated but I love it.
I don't think Powerage is underrated, cause it is considered one of their best albums, but their 80's albums, except Back In Black, are all underrated, even For Those About To Rock. Doesn't help the fact that AC\DC don't play live any stuff from the 80's, except songs from Back In Black album and the title track from For Those About To Rock.
@@VikingVern best guitar sound on any of their albumns.
OMG the memories...........my entire life marked by different phases of AWESOME AC/DC music!!!!!! Here I sit in 2020 remembering cranking this tune as loud as possible while in the park drinking beer while skipping high school class...
I can't believe Angus jumping off that riser...must have been 5 feet or so, and he's only 5'2"...thank god he never blew his knee or ankle out doing that night after night! Guy is Superman!
I always thought the same thing!
Me too
Watch again 2:32 It is way higher than his head when he lands, so I’d say 6 ft. You can do that shit when you’re 18 but he wasn’t a kid there
@Jacob Molyneux still, try jumping while carrying something (like it guitar). Way riskier than having your hands out by your sides. I was very athletic, but I'm 50 now, so I know how your body changes. I wouldn't do that if I was in my 30s and I'm only 5"6". But I hear you about being light
A 28 year old prime Angus \m/. Angus was fairly young when High Voltage came out. Around 20 and gigging with the boys years before that. Kid with those bends and vibrato was a rock n roll virtuoso
one of the best intros in rock - awesome
I cannot believe this! The one and only time I ever saw them live! Awesome!!!!
Awesome. Blows away the studio version
Flick a switch is one of my top 5 AC/DC albums.
its number 2 not top 5
Back when people held up lighters , not cell phones. The good Ole days. This is what a concert should be like. Seen them in 88, and again in 2014 I believe
if u are here, u r a big fan of AC/DC
Super tight performance by the band. This was my favourite song on the album, totally underrated !
If I was at this concert and became deaf, and this was the last thing I ever heard, I would have no complaints
Poor Angus.Malcom never left his side all those years. I couldnt imagine the pain hes" in right now.They are what all brothers should be to eachother. Close. Such a tragedy losing a family member.Rest well Mal.
Lmao like you know anything
RIP Malcolm Young
It's criminal how close my brother and I used to be and now we don't even speak. Sad.
I would love to be in the backstage just to hear them play with their guitars unplugged like in the beginning of the video :-)
The guitars were plugged eheh, just with a clean sound.
Sound check
MrRette Oh yeah. Hear how bluesy it is Clean But. Rock n roll hits its stride. When the power kicks in See down payment blues Overdose Not just bluesy. Not just power But steady build And a front man that can scream and tell a story Halcyon days Those first albums.
Man, those drums sound PERFECT!!!
Best feeling in the world. Be in a bar. Play ACDC on the juke box. Look directly at the bartender. Motion with your hand to turn it up. All the way up. Never had one not do exactly that. Fuckin A
4:57 my dad is just chillin in the crowd
AWESOME !!!😅🎈😅🎈😅🎈😅🎈😅🎈😅🎈😅🎈😅🎈😅🎈
Please tell me that was the night you were conceived! An AC/DC lovechild (problem child?).
AWESOME!!!
If only I was a fly on the wall in that warm up jam
WHAT A TUNE LONG LIVE AC/DC
I was at this show. Fastway opened up for them. Fucking phenomenal!
80's Acdc is my favourite
Amazing
Flick of the Switch es el mejor disco con Brian Johnson y este comienzo de recital es increible!
Most underrated song, love it. Play it live again! Great!!!!!
I was just transported back to the Tacoma Dome, WA 1983. When that dude lit off a millatary flare during "This House is on Fire". Stuck in the ceiling and burned a hole in the roof.
Dimension150 I remember that incident! It made the papers the next day!
No phones. Just a communion between the band and the crowd. Sheer pleasure and rock'n'roll #1983
Brian the most powerfull voice.
Angus simply Incomparable 🎸💯♨️💥
These are the AC/DC videos that get me excited like I'm going to see them tomorrow. But sadly a fan must wait even longer.
Lighters instead of cell phones, brilliant days!
I can't be friends with any musician who doesn't feel how bad ass this is. Cliff and Phil are so in the pocket.
It's actually Simon Wright on drums. Phil recorded the album but Simon did the tour.
@@frankmesiti2933 you are correct, my mistake.
I showed up late to one of their concerts. Still regret it.
This was my first AC/DC concert I went to with many more to follow in my life.
God almighty. . . Just. . . Thank you. That intro is priceless. . .
THE ENERGY
every song on this album ends with either "me" or "you" haha and its a totally kickass album!
I saw this tour in '83 at the Tacoma Dome when some dumbfuck managed to
get a flare gun past security and shot it into the wooden ceiling. The
crowd thought it was part of the show. It fizzled out but re-ignited
later that night and caused about 5 grand in damage to the ceiling.
And if they don't end with either of those, they end with the song title
I wonder what was the reaction of the band
@@hereleo1775 I think Brian said something but the band played on.
@@UA-cam-tied lol kinda reminds me when a guy threw beer at angus and while he dealt with the dude malcolm kept playing the entire time, they just dont let anything stop the show
ACDC definitely needs to release all of the Pro-Shot complete live shows in a DVD BLU-RAY Box Set, Especially the 1981 - 1986 era as the quality on the LARGO 1981 I poor. They must have or should be able to release the complete shows eh. These are awesome!!!
Just incredible so brilliant you dont get rock concerts like that no more
ahh the good old days!
Incredible!
Angus the man I grew up with the day u left the world I played all ur albums and thought about getting o n that train with u until the other side man well miss u
I hope this was a bad misspelling, because it is Malcolm that passed away one year ago by tomorrow.
"There were giants in the earth in those days..."
that's a hell of a height angus jumps from!
Angus still has the wickedest vibrato in the land
My first concert was ACDC Dec 9th 1983 at the Brendan Byrne area , this was the opener.
Everything about this is awesome
f'n awesome
I fkn love the sound of that bass!
Their second best set opener, after Live Wire. Amazing energy!
Love Brian’s lyrics
AC/DC should Release Every PRO-SHOT Complete Concert (Especially 1976 -1986) in a Blu-Ray Box Set.
AC/DC filmed 3 show's Pro-Shot on this Tour (DETROIT) (LARGO) & (HOUSTON) they need to Release it.
Shewwwww. God damn!
amazing performance! cliffs headless bass, too xD
I was at this show. Incredible.
lucky bastard!
My favourite band forever!
Massive respect for you!
I really love this song
One of my favorite AC/DC songs ever!
And omg, the girl at 5:30!
Grat job !!! My favorite song :D
I love the bon Scott days!! This is 🔥🔥
Best song ever
Greatest rock band in history. Period.
A kickass song from the fantastic yet underrated album Flick Of The Switch! 👌🏻💯🎶😀❤️
Absolutely great!
I love that shit... Gives me chills... 👍👍🤘🤘
Saw that show back in 1984, AC/DC headlining Monsters of Rock in Nuremberg. Was 15 at that time, ages ago. Never missed any tour afterwards. Thanks for all the Rock‘n Roll and the good times.
AC/DC are my favourite band forever and the best band of all time.
I love all their songs but this has to be my favourite song by them. I cannot play this song without cranking or playing air guitar. It's pure AC/DC 110% hard rock in yo face!
I love you acdc with all my heart.... VERY STRONG BAND! 💪😎 The Best for ever
Flick of the switch was a great show
Best concerts ever/No cell phones 🤘
Great album
My favorite AC/DC album is “For those about to Rock”, “Flick of the Switch” is a close 2nd followed by “Fly on the Wall”. 👍🏻
