There's not many bands that play live on a TV show. Most is playback. Bands dont want, TV people dont want it. You can see what real rockers these guys are
Hans Joaquin Oh yeah. Gonna agree reminds me of problem child too. Both. Kinda hard off the floor in studio. But Come off easier or. Made for. Live Their like hockey players. They love the crowd
To me that's why I love Angus Young so damn much, he loses himself in every single performance he's ever done and he doesn't apologize for it, it's just one of those reasons why u love music so much❤️❤️😁😁
Juan. Fir sure. Saw HUNDREDS upon hundreds of rock , blues and heavy metal shows. ANGUS is in my top 5 or so...he gets put down for simplicity ac dc critics in general....but he DELIVERED every show like a maniac. Leaving crowd delirious....
Angus Young is one of the most underrated guitarists in rock and roll. That stuff sounds like simplistic blues-based typical rock licks, until you start learning how to play it.
Angus's intro on this song one of the best of all time. And folks there was only ever one Bon Scott. Just incredible. Poor kids these days have no idea what real rock n roll is.
I’m a guitar teacher and the kids today only know hip hop and pop . I fear it’s the end of big rock banks . Unless liberal media decides to show kids rock bands again it’s fucked
The majority of the crowd was the same crowd that Marty McFly performed for at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance. They just weren't ready for ACDC. They came at the right time & did their thing, totally rocked like the rock gods they are. THIS IS HARD ROCK!!!!!🤟👊
Same when Black Sabbath performed at the 1974 California Jam. Heavy metal wasn’t even a “thing” yet and the audience didn’t know how to react. 😆. You can find it on TH-cam.
AC/DC reinvented rock n roll. After all the technical masters of the early-mid 70s, along they came playing three/four chord songs in the mold of 1950’s rock n roll, just with distortion and the same amount of energy as Eddie Cochran, Elvis, Chuck Berry and Little Richard. Every song was basic 50s rock that kicked ass and you could dance to. Plus, during the Bon Scott era they never released a bad song. They all were awesome!
Mark Abboud Yes on all counts Remarkable. Next ones By next I mean go right on ahead and copy the set up. A true Frontman abit of a raconteur. A rythym player. Lead. Drums , bass, Hold your own everyone , but let the rythym and the lead and the frontman steal the show A bit. Close will be ok. And likely. Good enough There in a garage somewhere Ya gotta hope.
Video link below. Angus is quite shy and humble when not on stage. Saw another interview of him saying he could on play really wild in the school uniform, uniform was his sisters-in-laws idea. In very beginning in Sydney they all wore outfits. th-cam.com/video/VcGAScb_woY/w-d-xo.html
There really was just no one like Bon. He had it all: the voice, the showmanship, the charisma....what an incredible front man. The crowd just looks completely stunned, lol.
The audience didn't know who AC/DC was when they took the stage, but by the end of Sin City they certainly did. I love the energy they brought to their performances.
All except the girl that was swinging her long hair around and around while everyone else was just sitting there! Bet she is still rocking today to ACDC
@@scottbistransky1365 More likely got knocked up after the show. Married the creep that impregnated her with his "seed". Had to drop out of school. Had three more rug rats. Later divorced and became a cashier at Wal Mart. Probably living off welfare in a trailer somewhere in Indiana. Hell, this show was probably the highlight of her whole life.
Angus should have been paid double the amount of everyone else. That dude has always been so high-energy. Love this clip, Rest in Peace, Bon. You're truly missed. &:^)
I love rewatching this performance every so often. What a way for the band to introduce itself to the USA! When Bon stepped forward he did so with utter confidence, or, better said, authority, and with a twinkle of The Devil in his eye. Dare I say it? These Aussies were exuding the American spirit of Rock and Roll from the very beginning. Most of the audience had no idea what hit them!🧨🎸🎼🤣
I saw both Aerosmith and AC/DC on this very tour, but at one of the Day On The Green concerts at the Oakland coliseum (summer of '78.) I was 21, and had never heard of AC/DC until seeing their name on the setlist, and so had no idea what to expect (no internet back then.) Well, my friends and I were simply stunned, blown away, enraptured and mesmerized. They're still one of my three favorite rock bands, the other two being Led Zeppelin and Metallica.
WOW....I was around 16 and I saw this (never missed "The Midnight Special," RIP Wolfman Jack). I remember thinking "WTH, dude has on an English schoolboy uniform!?!" Then I remember thinking, "These guys are KILLING it out here!" By the time the song was over it was, "That settles it...I. Gotta. Get. An. Electric. Guitar!" I had no idea I'd just seen rock and roll history made on late night TV. No disrespect whatsoever to Brian Johnson or Axl Rose...Bon Scott was dead about 2 years after this and even after all this time, I can't help but wonder what AC/DC would have been had he lived. Rest in peace, Mr. Scott. You are missed.
Just my opinion! I would say the 2 best lyricist in rock in the 70's was Bon Scott and Ronnie van zandt! Their lyrics in theirs songs was really truly how they lived and very true to the heart!
My introduction to this band, what the fuck, I'm around 14 or 15 years old, my favorite bands are Sabbath, Kiss, Van Halen, Priest, and then I see this monster fucking band. As I was with Deuce on Kiss Alive, Sabbath, everything, etc., this band blew me the fuck away. I had my cassette player recording this, sitting in front of the tv, but of course it was a piece of shit compared to what you have today, but it's all we had in the '70's. I've learned as time has moved forward that you gain appreciation for what is available now, but if you only knew and had heard a simple taped recording of music from a tv say, that's all you knew and you were glad to have this recording. Back then was gold to you, today it would be considered shit. If you were a die hard metal head, you plugged it into your car stereo and turned on your power booster and played it as loud as possible. Since no one else had anything that sounded better it didn't fucking matter about the poor sound quality. Hey, we jammed to the best we were able to at the time.
I was at this taping and it was amazing! It’s not very loud at the show and someone asked Angus why it wasn’t cranked up. He nodded to the sound guy and dropped to the floor and played a huge solo with volume cranked up! Asked if that was good? IT WAS AWESOME! Great day except having to listen to Ted play Stranglehold at least 5 times in a row. There were two stages set up with Ted at one end and Cheap Trick on the other. At one point Ted suggested that they both play loud at the same time and blast everyone out. GREAT DAY!
Hollly crap. I bet that audience did not know what hit 'em!!! I'm sure they just stood there STUNNED by what they were seeing. These songs are so powerful, great lyrics and great performances. Bon Scott - he was unbelieveable!
My brothers went to see the Aerosmith/ACDC concert around this same time & said ACDC was absolutely incredible & blew Aerosmith off the stage as Tyler & Perry were all fucked up & could barely stand. A few songs in, the crowd started chanting 'We want ACDC' . Bon Scott never sang a shitty song. RIP.
I watched GnR blow Aerosmith off the stage 10 years later. When Aerosmith started playing people started leaving. They never had a chance. Guns owned that stage.
I'm 55yrs old now Dec 11th, 2019, I consider myself so very lucky & Blessed to have seen a lot of hard rock & heavy metal bands live back then starting in 1978 @ 14yrs old with Ted Nugent & up until recently rockin' with SAXON live & meeting them with VIP passes. I feel bad for the kids growing up nowadays with the shitty so called music they put out now. SMDH...
I've never seen a video of ACDC in a support role. The Aerosmith introduction somehow gave me the illusion that I was watching them raw, for the first time. What a thing.
This is where I met ACDC. They became my favorite band that night and still are to this day. There are, and have been, lots of pretenders but all these years later there's still only one. ACDC
Great clip. One thing that doesn't come across on your average computer speaker is the volume. I saw this tour in 1977 as opening act for Foreigner. The volume in that small club was deafening. Angus bouncing across the stage with his book bag, Malcom and Cliff banging out the rhythm. It was a night I'll never forget.
One of my favorite Midnight Special songs. It's just too bad that people keep copying it over and over again, putting it on their channels.....I can't find the original good quality anymore, in picture or sound.
funny thing is I actually taped this myself on my pops early VHS machine, and the file was so small when originally uploaded due to space constraints way back when, just recently found this burrieed in my you tube acct. and reactivated it, this file is over 20 years old! but i didn't get it from anyone else, you can tell because no logos and full intro, rare find!
@@idealistpropaganda Oh, wow. Just shows you that I don't know much! I honestly don't much about You Tube as a whole either. What are your thoughts though: if I see this video on 50 other You Tube accounts, are THEY copying and just adding videos to their channels?
I've seen them 5 times in concert but my first watching this Video. OMG......this is beyond incredible ☮️. After they appeared on the Grammys, a radio host on my son's station (virgin something) In my city was making fun of the guitarist and his school bag. I tried to call the loser and explain to him what he was watching but unable to get through
I'm 57 now. I watched this episode of Midnight Special when I was a young teenager. I had no idea who they were. All I remembered was the crazy guitarist with the backpack. A year or so later, when I became an ACDC fan, I realized what I had witnessed that night. It was history in the making, and I have been a fan of this band ever since. Bon is amazing, but you can't deny the work they have done with Brian as well. I won't choose between the two. But I can tell you this.....I was an ACDC fan before I even knew who they were. I just didn't realize it at the time.
My favorite all-time live performance by AC/DC. I got to laugh at Bon Scott's high-waisted pants. I think that was in style for like 3 years from 75 to 78 but I was wearing them back in the day as well. Too funny.
I was just a kid then, and I watched this that night when it first aired and I hated the bullies in school back then, and I was so blown away by them, I immediately took note of the name of the song etc so I could get money from Mom buy the album the next day... and, to reiterate about the "bully" thing... Bon Scott scared the shit out of me, because he reminded me of the "Bullies at school" LOL! With those looks and grins and eyes of his piercing into your inner weaknesses! But, I LOVED HIM ALSO!
The crowd didn’t realise they were looking at history in the making!
So fucking true
neither did ted nugent. steven tyler knew...
Absolutely.
ABSOLUTELY!! the crowd was like "What is this?" its the future! in the words of marty mc fly "your kids are going to love it!"
I agree!! On the point!!! And young folks can see why older (like me) still miss Bon.
Bon makes Ted and Steve look like a pair of school girls!
I HEARD THAT BROTHER!
You saved me 10 seconds of typing the same thought. Thanks!
lol so true Bon was the Alpha male
Ted shouldn’t be in the same building as these guys.
@OmWIR uT7qu My brother and I saw them in the Glasgow Apollo the same year! Bon just looks like he is still playing at the Bondi Life Saver!
Angus Young was and always will be the hardest rocker ever.
totally. he earned every penny. the guy rocked like nobody else. Bon too
Absolutely He a Beast!!!!!
Richard B Oh yeah. Just crushed his lead break A great performance as usual. Bon was on
There's not many bands that play live on a TV show. Most is playback. Bands dont want, TV people dont want it. You can see what real rockers these guys are
Watch Neil young with led zeppelin mtv awards on Utube you will love it
One of the few songs that sounds better live than the studio version.
Thats so fucking true lml
Hans Joaquin Oh yeah. Gonna agree reminds me of problem child too. Both. Kinda hard off the floor in studio. But Come off easier or. Made for. Live Their like hockey players. They love the crowd
That and Live Wire
Bon Scott always sounds better live
EVERY AC/DC song sounds better live
The very best AC/DC track ever. Brian did a great job but Bon Scott was just the best.
u have right !!! powerage is one of the my pref. albums
What an insane solo and performance of Angus, He does not play the guitar He is the guitar..
Head banging during a solo
To me that's why I love Angus Young so damn much, he loses himself in every single performance he's ever done and he doesn't apologize for it, it's just one of those reasons why u love music so much❤️❤️😁😁
Juan. Fir sure. Saw HUNDREDS upon hundreds of rock , blues and heavy metal shows. ANGUS is in my top 5 or so...he gets put down for simplicity ac dc critics in general....but he DELIVERED every show like a maniac. Leaving crowd delirious....
I get a sore neck,and tired legs just watching him on stage.
Angus Young is one of the most underrated guitarists in rock and roll. That stuff sounds like simplistic blues-based typical rock licks, until you start learning how to play it.
Born in 1963. Saw this Live on TV. Midnight Special. 15 year old kid . Been a fan ever since. The Bon era is where its at!!!
Bon Era or Nothing for ME!!
davo2003hd same here. First car mixed tapes loaded with Powerage let there be Rock and high voltage. And some b 52 s lol
Powerage is quite simply the ultimate rock n roll album. Never been anything better before and never will be bettered.
Awesome
Yea right
Angus's intro on this song one of the best of all time. And folks there was only ever one Bon Scott. Just incredible. Poor kids these days have no idea what real rock n roll is.
Mate, there are 50 year old's who don't either. I'm 17 and I know my fuckin rock n roll.
I’m a guitar teacher and the kids today only know hip hop and pop . I fear it’s the end of big rock banks . Unless liberal media decides to show kids rock bands again it’s fucked
@@techdeathhippie6319 nah, thats not true. But to create a band its harder then getting on a pc or a turntable.
@@yowodup6094 can confirm this is true
We need Woke Rock!
Yeah they went out on the road with you Steve...and totally and utterly blew you away!
Yes they did as I was there to see it.
@@richardtknees they really out performed Aerosmith
That was kind a like when Lynyrd Skynyrd blue away the Rolling Stones in England of all places
@@richardtknees By that point I think Steven Tyler was wasted 24/7 on heroin, haha.
Acdc music is a bit more blew me away stuff than aerosmith’s
The majority of the crowd was the same crowd that Marty McFly performed for at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance. They just weren't ready for ACDC. They came at the right time & did their thing, totally rocked like the rock gods they are. THIS IS HARD ROCK!!!!!🤟👊
Yup, lame ass audience didn't realize the Rock Gods before them. Eclipsed both Aerosmith and Ted Nugent who introduced them...
Amen!
😄😄😄don’t worry something tells me their kids were gonna love it

Man, Bon was spot on. I love the gum chewing too. Much like in1977 at the Hippodrome, the audience didn't know what hit them.
God he was great! So much charisma, you WANTED to hear what he had to say...well, what he sang, but you know what I mean. lol🤘🤘
I've read where Angus thought this was Bon's best performance.
@@Jamesscearce all of 1978 was Bon’s best!
All except the girl that was swinging her long hair around and around while everyone else was just sitting there! Bet she is still rocking today to ACDC

The absolute definition of Rock & Roll.
Can you imagine ANY new artist today if they had to follow this? They would run for the hills!
Went out and bought 3 or 4 of their albums after seeing this performance back in '78.
Awesome!!
"Bring on the dancin girls and put the, champaigne on ice" absolutely belting his lungs out bloody legend
Brian Johnson or the Young brothers never bettered Bon's lyrics. Bon was a poet.
Yep
Yet he did it without breaking a sweat
Angus killing the intro
Smokin
YOU. CAN. SAY. THAT FUCK'N. #1. AGAIN BRO. !!!!!!!!!! 😂😂😎🍻
AC/DC Rocks their audience like no other
Mr. Bon Scott! Those were the days ladies and gents of today.
I'm old but proud to be of the generation of old AC/DC
Remember watching this on TV when I was in 9th grade and thinking this is what R&R is all about, been a AC/DC fan ever since!
Angus should have been paid double the amount of everyone else. That dude has always been so high-energy. Love this clip, Rest in Peace, Bon. You're truly missed. &:^)
The Charisma of Bon is awesome! What a loss.
Steven Tyler and Ted introducing those boys.
Legend.....wait for it ....dary
sbenz17. FUCK'N. DODGE. DRAFTER. HURT'N. TED. LOL 😎🍻😂😂😂😂😂
I love the gum chewing bon does lolz
It blows me away how bons voice is so spot on, rock in peace!🤘🏼
i remember staying up to watch this because i'd heard of this group called AC/DC. Jesus, talk about getting hit by a ton of bricks.
Bon really did have character.
I love rewatching this performance every so often. What a way for the band to introduce itself to the USA! When Bon stepped forward he did so with utter confidence, or, better said, authority, and with a twinkle of The Devil in his eye. Dare I say it? These Aussies were exuding the American spirit of Rock and Roll from the very beginning. Most of the audience had no idea what hit them!🧨🎸🎼🤣
Not American rock spirit, Australian rock spirit and not from the beginning. American market fucked with them until highway to hell.
Bon Is still Missing Every Time I hear The Band ❤
Happy birthday Bon Scott. (7.9.46 - 2.19.80) RIP 🕊
Watched it live , it changed my life had to buy a Gibson SG special shortly after!
Hard to believe Bon's been gone 40 years.
Stryder46 Wow. it was winter and bam. Singer dies That spring Back in black.
Wow yeah. He's been dead longer than he'd been alive :(

You ever hear of a band called T Rex? Marc Bolan was great.
you lucky man!
MY. VERY. VERY. VERY. FAVORITE. FUCK'N. #1. SONG. I. MET. & DRANK. A. FIFTH. OF. JD. WITH. #1 HIM. ( BON. SCOTT ) BOY. HE. FUCK'N. ⭐ROCKED. IT. ⭐IN. '78. 😂😂😂😂😂😎🍻
WOW....I was around 16 and I saw this (never missed "The Midnight Special," RIP Wolfman Jack). I remember thinking "WTH, dude has on an English schoolboy uniform!?!" Then I remember thinking, "These guys are KILLING it out here!" By the time the song was over it was, "That settles it...I. Gotta. Get. An. Electric. Guitar!"

In Australia pretty much every school has a uniform and it was kind of English looking ig.
Best band ever - now, kids of today...this - is - rock and roll :)
Agree!!
I love the way they mostly all just stood there but went wild at the end :-) they didn't know what hit them . Long live r'n'r
i’m betting steve and ted stayed off the stage after that performance. ac/dc with bon would bury either of them.
41 years ago. RIP (Rock In Peace) Bon.
One of the best performances of all time against all the odds!
They awoke America to a sound they didn't yet realize they were thirsting to hear.
Bon just ripped it every single time. What a fucking band.
Never seen this version before. Just amazing. Bon era rules
The Greatest Rock & Roll Band ever
2:57 ...woah!
Just my opinion! I would say the 2 best lyricist in rock in the 70's was Bon Scott and Ronnie van zandt! Their lyrics in theirs songs was really truly how they lived and very true to the heart!
I lean more toward bon but Ronnie irreplaceable to both were awesome
ronnie parker #1. DO. NOT. FORGET. DIO. BRO. 😂😂😂😂😎🍻
Love that they left Angus on the ground. Bon looks down at him like 'he'll figure it out.'
My introduction to this band, what the fuck, I'm around 14 or 15 years old, my favorite bands are Sabbath, Kiss, Van Halen, Priest, and then I see this monster fucking band.

Duuude, Bon Scott!
Sean O'D Oh yeah. A lot. Cut the sleeves off his jean jackets Lol
The energy level is just incredible!!!
The best episode of the Midnight Special ever aired. Bon & Angus stole the show lol.
This is as good as it gets. That's why AC/DC is my all-time favorite. "I'm going In" I'm going to Win"
thats the stuff.....right there.....in the pocket......on the edge!! Brilliant
I saw them in '77 when they opened for Aerosmith. My brother had turned me into them a year before. They were great with Bon.
Jesus, what a performance.
They played TWO songs that night? What was the other one? Rock & Roll at it's very best!
It never ceases to amaze me how precise Angus's playing is and how pristine his technique is despite all the antics.
3:56.. The buildup and flourish into the chorus.. My favorite Bon moment of all the old clips out there. Sounds perfect
I was at this taping and it was amazing! It’s not very loud at the show and someone asked Angus why it wasn’t cranked up. He nodded to the sound guy and dropped to the floor and played a huge solo with volume cranked up! Asked if that was good? IT WAS AWESOME!

What an incredible performance! And thank goodness one good thing did come out of 2020: a new AC/DC album. God bless all of ‘em.
I still remember watching this live. First time I had seen or heard AC/DC. There was no turning back.
I remember catching this episode. history in the making
At that point America was “shocked” Lol
My brothers went to see the Aerosmith/ACDC concert around this same time & said ACDC was absolutely incredible & blew Aerosmith off the stage as Tyler & Perry were all fucked up & could barely stand. A few songs in, the crowd started chanting 'We want ACDC' . Bon Scott never sang a shitty song. RIP.
I watched GnR blow Aerosmith off the stage 10 years later. When Aerosmith started playing people started leaving. They never had a chance. Guns owned that stage.
I'm 55yrs old now Dec 11th, 2019, I consider myself so very lucky & Blessed to have seen a lot of hard rock & heavy metal bands live back then starting in 1978 @ 14yrs old with Ted Nugent & up until recently rockin' with SAXON live & meeting them with VIP passes. I feel bad for the kids growing up nowadays with the shitty so called music they put out now. SMDH...
There is good music out there still you gotta dig..
@@chrisrice3551 I think the main point is you didn't have to dig back then. Just flip on the FM radio and fresh masterpieces were dropping weekly.

Whoever was the sound man in charge of the bass, he/she deserves a promotion.
in the mire all of todays endless noise, this clip reminds you why you love just pure and simple ROCK AND ROLL so much.
This is a song you don't want to end man !
Jeeeeeeze!
Holy Shit!!! What a performance!!
Angus killing it!
Bon Scott! So good!
Bon Scott!!!!!!!!! Legend!!!!!!! The Best!!!!!
He's greater than the band!!!!!
No makeup no costumes no lights just rock and roll

I just didn't realize it at the time.
AC DC killed IT😀🤘🎸
The first I heard AC/DC it summoned something evil inside of me that I never knew existed, it scared the fuck out of me ...and I loved it.
Bon Scott....the best rock lead singer ever!!!
It must have been around this time that Ted Nugent and Steven Tyler went, "Oh shit! These guys are better than us!"

My favorite all-time live performance by AC/DC. I got to laugh at Bon Scott's high-waisted pants. I think that was in style for like 3 years from 75 to 78 but I was wearing them back in the day as well. Too funny.
I was just a kid then, and I watched this that night when it first aired and I hated the bullies in school back then, and I was so blown away by them, I immediately took note of the name of the song etc so I could get money from Mom buy the album the next day... and, to reiterate about the "bully" thing... Bon Scott scared the shit out of me, because he reminded me of the "Bullies at school" LOL! With those looks and grins and eyes of his piercing into your inner weaknesses! But, I LOVED HIM ALSO!
One of the best concert videos I have ever seen
Happy Birthday Cliff!🎁 Love you from Sweden💖
