Summer of 1980 I had just survived a horrific car crash. Broke my L4 vertebrae and it was the summer between my junior and senior year of high school. Went into the local Kmart (which, when I say local, it was about 30 miles to town. I had been into hard rock since about 11 y.o. and been into AC/DC for about three years by this point. Living on a ranch/farm in the middle of nowhere didn’t afford me any musical news. Hence I had no clue that Bon had died and Brian was the new singer. But, in Kmart that day…an employee was putting the new records and CD’s onto the racks. I saw an all black album and grabbed the one she had just put down. Saw it was a new album by AC/DC and must have cum all over the area. I walked around looking for a stereo w/turntable. Cut open the plastic, turned on the stereo and placed the album, side 1 onto the platter. Gooooooong….gooooooong, Hells Bells kicked in hard and I cranked the f*ck out of it. The lady stocking music ran up yelling something at me…and when she got to me I barely heard her say. “Young man, you have to pay for that first”. I thought wow, she didn’t say “you can’t play that” and “you can’t play it that loud”. I handed her $10 for the album…was like $6.99. I turned around and listen I did. Oh my gawd…that was the best experience up to that age. I played that album until the groove was gone. Since a record has just one groove. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I actually really dig Angus's improvised guitar solo there. Not sure if he hadnt memorized it yet or if they just hadn't laid down the tracks yet but either way he nails that solo. Sounds amazing.
Very cool: The intro was just a drum beat, the solo was different. This must be before the song had been formalized in a final recording, as that was released 3 & 1/2 weeks after this on July 25 1980. Awesome!
A New Horizon you people amaze me that you reach so hard with this “conspiracy” you really think people like angus and Malcolm would do something like that to bon?
Brian’s vocals are so goddamn good here
Must be tone deaf
Agree.

Brian hit those G5s like i've never heard before! Also Angus' solo sounds really cool. Glad we have this recording

They laid all the tracks down over the course of 5 or so weeks in April - May.

This is magnificent
Do you have any more songs from this gig?
Every song was posted to this account
William Blackmon LOVE your profile pic!!! Even though I'm an old school 'tallica fan, I'm one of the rare ones who loves St. Anger. 🙂🤘👊
Wow that solo lol, so different of the original
Guitar sounds like it’s on clean mode not drive ??
hearing more of Malcolms guitar which had a little less gain to it
This was Brian's first concert? Or his 3rd time singin Back in Black?
if this was the 1st (of the month), then I'm pretty sure it was his 3rd.
There was the 29th, 30th (I think) and this one
Brian messing up the lyrics haha
An AC/DC classic xD
Yeah, funny how he'd mess up "his" lyrics only a couple of months after recording it.
@@Purpleskyshorizon of course.
A New Horizon Whether it was his lyrics or not doesn’t change the fact that he memorized them and was just messing up. Y’all reach so hard lol
A New Horizon you people amaze me that you reach so hard with this “conspiracy” you really think people like angus and Malcolm would do something like that to bon?
