Awesome Ralph ! "Let there be rock" is my favorite AC-DC album & my favorite era line up Angus/Bon/Phil/Malcolm/Mark ! Best stuff in my opinion ! Awesome photos too !
They were going to do an EP after Dirty Deeds, using the songs they recorded in England, Cold Hearted Man, Carry Me Home, Dirty Eyes, Love At First Feel. LTBR was a step up. I think they needed the threat of being dropped from the label to push them to greatness. Fave album except maybe for Powerage?
The movie version of this smokes! Really love If you want Blood live as well (LP). Had all of the Bon era records and loved them all. There is something about their 70's act that has been lost since but can be seen and heard in all it's glory right here. The circus tent sideshow vibe of old cannot be denied.
My 2nd favorite after Powerage (and, honestly, I go back and forth). The guitar tones on this record are BEASTLY. And Bon...holy shit, Bon. The guy was just the absolute best lyricist and frontman. 🤘
This review is getting me fired up! Have you seen the movie, Let There Be Rock? Phil Rudd f'ing rocks! I hope I can still see them live some day for the first time.
The heaviest AC/DC album ever my favourite AC/DC songs from let there be rock are 1.Dog eat Dog 2.Let there be rock. 3. Problem Child. 4.Bad Boy Biggie. 5.Overdose. 6 Whole lotto Rosie. 7.Hell ain't a Bad Place to be. 8. Go Down
ACDC changed my life….and Van Halen became it…..OG VH, but I love Brian Johnson too, the man epitomizes power when he sang, the rasp left over from all those years and albums, and smokes….well still kicking it! Love that whole band other than Dave Evans, as he was like the Sammy of ACDC…..like when Brian hurt his ears, Dave starts singing Brian songs(sounding like Quiet Riot) that he was never around for….whats with the coattail hanger ons? Geez! ACDC and VH…..they have changed lives! Awesome review Ralph! Hell yes! ❤
Great timing. I've just watched the Rock Goes To College gig earlier tonight. I flip between LTBR and Powerage as the best, but thinking LTBR wins. Through the years I've always thought all but 2 of the classic tracks are the best 1 on the album ( Crabsody and Rosie - my god shows how awesome this album is when I've never thought this was the best!). And yes Phil's drumming is incredible. His use of the cymbals to add to the guitars! Just watch LTBR closing the Rock Goes to college - the metronome. A hammer. I'm lucky I saw AC/DC in 1978, and Roth in 1979, DLR just pips Bon as greatest front man. Again watching the college gig, it's Bons sheer presence and power of his expressions that connect with everyone and made him a magnet. Great episode Ralph. Couldn't said it better myself.
I bought this at a department store ,I never knew what a great album I bought . Best album I ever bought at a department store. I loved it best music from that great band.
I love Let There Be Rock. It is truly a masterpiece. I have to admit, I was really hoping you would of brought up KISS just so I could hear you say, “Paul Thtanley of KITH”. That’s one of my favorite TH-cam lines of all time.
I love all Bon Scott era albums , difficult to pick a favorite, probably Highway To Hell. My favorite songs by AC/DC are Walk All Over You and Overdose Love these album reviews ! Wendy T
Great, stand-out album, especially for that time. Bassist Mark Evans is alive & active. AC/DC should have brought him back for their tour. Instead they got the guy from Alanis Morissette's emo pop band. Lame!!
I agree how lame is that...? I'm sure he woulda gone for it...but not Angus...too bad ...my favorite era of AC-DC is with Mark on bass ! Best stuff in my opinion !
3:50 last photo of Bon hamming it up with Pete Way from UFO.
Noticed that. Love it
I love how raw this album sounds.
My favorite AC/DC album which contains my favorite AC/DC song of ALL TIME : OVERDOSE.
RIP BON SCOTT
Mine too!
Two Stokeses with incredible musical taste, that's us.@@ChrisStokes07
Right on bro!
Dog eat dog & Bad boy boogie ! All of them are awesome!
hell yeah, I go back and forth between that and Down Payment Blues!
Awesome Ralph ! "Let there be rock" is my favorite AC-DC album & my favorite era line up Angus/Bon/Phil/Malcolm/Mark ! Best stuff in my opinion ! Awesome photos too !
Angus Young, Bon Scott and Phil Rudd doing "Let there be rock" live, actually blew my teenage mind.
Unbelievable album!

I had the Crabsody version and loved it
Let there be Rock is a greatest hits all by its self , so is Powerage !!
Oh hell Bon era of AC/DC IS ALL THE GREATEST;HITS !!!
There are no bad albums from the Bon Scott era.

Thanks for watching!

Hey Ralph!🤘 have a great weekend man.this album sounds like a buzzsaw.. in a good way🤘
Same to you
I never realized how much Bon looks like a young Colin Hay from Men at Work, ha ha! Love AC/DC, cheers everyone!
Overdose! Sounds like the amp is melting! Love it!

Thanks, Wendy!
I think this is the album where Angus' amp blew up or something and it added to the sound during the recording
Sweaty, dirty, nasty, rock. It's truly the sound of the band reaching It's peak. For me LTBR is just a hair better than Powerage.
As great as this album is, it’s the *Australian* version you need to own.
I do own it. On CD. Prefer the american version.
@@almosthuman56 okay.
Great, stand-out album, especially for that time. Bassist Mark Evans is alive & active. AC/DC should have brought him back for their tour. Instead they got the guy from Alanis Morissette's emo pop band. Lame!!

Man I did not think that. Bringing Mark back would have been awesome!
Yer right Ralph...Rudd rules!! He's sorely missed on this tour. Simon Wright is closest to his feel & sound, in my opinion.
Rolling Stone SUCKS!
Such an incredible album. I never get sick of listening to LTBR and Powerage.
