2023 -- You need to make your way to new york city, there's at least 15 bands that deliver like this... like this but NOT this. One band is The Mystery Lights.
Cliff is just perfect for AC/DC. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Mark Evans but Cliff is just way more technical and tight. Even Mark himself has said that Williams was the right guy for the band.
Mark played on their best stuff...in my opinion... nothing against Cliff...he played on some great stuff too....I'm only talking about songs with Bon ...not interested in anything he did with Brian...😐
@@philipholmes5884 Just fucking accept the fact that Bon is gone and that AC/DC continued to pump out brilliant songs 44 years after his death, Brian was the best for them after Bon`s death
This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. Like seriously, what the hell happened to bands like this? There needs to be a rock band that kicks this much ass again.
@1:03 I mean really. Who struts like this anymore? Who gets out there and get's a groove on. I hope Rock is in just a hibernation. And when it awakes..Oh! look out!!
blobhead12135565 you were on point until you tried to throw shade at the Beatles and the Stones. One of the greatest rocknroll performances ever but your comment is a fail.
hell yeah, but Rory Gallagher equals them when it comes to live performances. Look up "Rory Gallagher - Bullfrog Blues" and click on the live version with the most views, you'll know what I mean :-)
Bon had a voice and a singing style that will never be duplicated again. He greatly complimented those screaming guitars on every song he sang. It's an absolute shame that the world will never ever know just how much great music he was destined to make if that terrible night had never happened
Malcolm ALWAYS had a badass guitar tone. When I listen to AC/DC, more often than not I seem to find myself focusing more on Malcolm and that rock solid rhythm. Angus is good and he and Bon were always the life of the show, but Malcolm was the true driving force behind AC/DC. It was HIS band.
@False Email Both of them always sounded awesome. I’m just more of a Malcolm fan. It’s a unique sound in my opinion. And the two of them both had their own tone. But together they make one big great guitar, still being able to tell them apart of course.
@Bad Boys Boogie Yea no doubt it was Malcolm's idea to make a band, but he chose Angus for a reason. It was both Angus and Malcolm's child to raise. It's like Malcolm had a baby without a mother and chose Angus to be the fun uncle of it. That's what Angus is, the fun uncle, and Malcolm is the working father. He knew Angus could play lead like no one else, and could not have found a better lead player if he tried. AC/DC wouldn't be what it is without Angus at all. As you and me have seen, they have survived without Phil or Cliff, but would not ever be the same without Malcolm and Angus. It is both their band, not just Malcolm's or Angus. Stevie does a great job playing the rhythm guitar, but I doubt he could come up with a riff as good as Malcolm could. That just proves it ain't the same without Malcolm. Power up was just a bunch of riffs Malcolm and Angus worked on between Stiff Upper Lip and Black Ice. I doubt when they run out of those riffs in between those years, that they'll keep going or make anything half as good, unless Angus really watched Malcolm.. and kept how he made riffs in his memory.. In Malcolm's words, "Angus is a hot player".
I saw these guys at The RITZ Theater in Corpus Christi Tx. in '77. I saw them at The Memorial Coliseum in '78, '79. Being front row for the HIGHWAY TO HELL tour was awesome and the tickets were $7.50 !
When the band's stage setup is a wall of Marshall Amps and drums, no thrills or pompous crap, you know you're in for a gut pounding show. ACDC reminds me of The Who in this vid
they didnt miss a beat at all, thats the power of rock n roll man it puts you in a sort of high that you dont want to lose, I used to play for an acdc tribute kinda band back home where im from and i know what its like playing these songs this tight
I was born in '76, so I missed the Bon years sadly. When I saw AC/DC live for the first time, on The Razor's Edge tour, it was a religious experience. I was literally in ecstasy from the start of the show until the very end. Then, for my 15th birthday I got this concert film on VHS. I would watch it over and over in awe. It still blows me away. Best live band ever. They were pure electricity.
Unlucky you,I saw them in 1978 in Glasgow one of two nights where they recorded their live album if you want blood.The Raw sound,the timing, the fan's were captivated and engaged.I went on to see them another 4 times in the Bon era.
Malcolms Rhythm style...the sheer tightness of it and power with accented delicate technique is just hypnotic...makes you feel like you could do anything
This is what rock and roll was like in my day no fuckin cell phones, no big screens, no pyro- tech, no gimmicks, held in small venues up close and personal, you could smell the sweat.and even get some on ya. Long Live Rock n Roll and AC/DC was the top notch group of Bangers hands down.
When the camera did a 180 around Malcolm when he was killing it on his Gretsch filled me with so much adrenaline I felt like racing in my dads ‘64 Vette
Phil has an unmatched groove and feel. So simple, it is VERY hard to do right. I have drummed for 38 years, and trying to sound like Phil is harder than sounding like Peart or Bonham. His meter is always perfect.
Disagree. We knew. I saw them first in 1978 and can still remember the thrill of being deaf for a few days, the sight of Angus in Bon's shoulders and the unbelievable power of the rhythm. It’s stayed with me ever since.
Apparently, they supported Rolling Stones in the '70s, and Mick Jagger didn't want them as a support again, precisely because they were such a hard act to follow!
I saw these cats live shortly after this video in New Jersey! Wildest show I've ever seen. Deff Leppard opened for them. To this day my ears still ring👍🏼
This is possibly the most exciting live rock performance I have ever seen. Angus chicken walks across the stage, Bon Scott shrieks into the mike with a pounding beat driving them all forwards in sweaty, shirtless tidal wave of sound. It doesn't get better than this
11 years before I was born….. I can’t wait til they make the time machine, I’m going to EVERY concert, show, radio broadcast, their basement, sister room, etc
I love the way Malcolm's and Cliff's guitar is turned up a notch, all gigs should be this way. Malcolm is [or was :(] THE man in AC/DC bit Cliff should have sued the producer for 'bad mastering' ;)
3:06 Fantastic look (and listen) at Malcolm's rhythm technique. I'm so sad at what's become of him and the band. But I'm happy to have seen Malcolm play live many times and to see Phil's return on the kit for ballbreaker.
ThatsNotGravy, unique technique of guitar playing. I think it is the best rhythm guitar player in the world. it's my opinion. he seemed to live metranom
This was on Wednesday 25 Oct, the band were flown in from Paris to do the gig.... XTC played on the 28th. Met the bands, still got the autographs. One of the best gigs I've ever been to.
We used to watch them on the national broadcaster ABC on countdown in Australia, whatever song came on that Sunday night all the kids would be singing at school the next day.
Saw them at Newcastle in a night club 77 ish. Soaked through to my Wrangler jacket… 60 years old now… WHAT a gig… Geordie x ps 3.38 in… girl on shoulders… hope that was a pint in her hand not a coke.
early ac/dc with bon scott has no equal, angus was a monster, the beauty was it was all about the music with them, crank up the marshalls and let it go, no make-up, posing, scarves, flowing wardrobes, glam... just the music, along with their punk attitude and energy. long live rock and roll, long live ac/dc.
I am at a loss of words! This performance and AC/DC are legendary! Absolutely I am speechless! That was so incredible and I was hooked from the second it started!
There never be anyone like bon again..... impossible....he would still be rocking at 73 yrs old....people realizing just how great he was....40 yrs later he is still huge.....rocknroll exemplified!!!
![AC/DC- Riff Raff + Go Down [VH1 Uncut, July 5, 1996]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/R0tP1bLydSA/mqdefault.jpg)
When you think this is 42 years old and nothing nowadays comes anywhere near this sort of energy
this is the first era on history where the youth music is weaker than their parents music
They used to have another Vid of this Masterpiece on You Tube. They took it off. Rock n Roll never dies my Brothers. This is straight Badd Ass
timeless Music.

Longlive the seventies!
No special effects..... just kick ass music
Well, there was the smoke from Angus's satchel. Kind of special effects for 1978 at least. 🙂
@@LeggoMyLambcreo que se refiere a pedales o algo
Like the stage setup, just a wall of amplifiers and drums, no thrills or pompus crap. Rock n roll in it's purest form by these guys
Best rock band and singer for the next 10 billion years.
Wow they were awsome so much energy damn
Wow they were awsome so much energy damn
I saw them in the early 90s. I have seen everything fro Van Halen, U2, Faith no More, Rolling Stones, and these guys surpass all of them!!
These kids had no idea who they were watching....had no idea how LUCKY they were to see ACDC in the beginning w/Bon
I agree. I have a friend who said she watched AC/DC when they were the pub band in Geelong.
Hiring Cliff to play bass was a brilliant move on Mal's part. He - Cliff - made the whole thing ultra-tight.
Cliff is just perfect for AC/DC. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Mark Evans but Cliff is just way more technical and tight. Even Mark himself has said that Williams was the right guy for the band.
So Cliff left the Shadows for these then?

For me, this is performance is the definition of rock and roll.
Airbourne is one of them
Or Bigfoot
Nashville Pussy in their prime - say, late ‘90s - was as good as this, if not better. Think AC/DC meets full bore punk rock played 100 miles an hour.
one of the greatest rock n roll performances i have ever seen. better than the stones or the beatles ever did. FACT

Malcolm wanted to get rid of him in 1979 and in 1975 the young brothers are not loyal to their bandmates

cliff is killing it on bass
louis segura he is a complete beast
and phil murdering on the droooms
Just an all out great band.
They all killing it
I wish the camera also focused on the drum and bass players too.
Can you imagine anyone walking out of there saying "sorry, I wasn't entertained by that"?
3:00 THE most gut-punching guitar sound to have ever been made.. Malcolm truly was just different from ANYBODY else! R.I.P. Mal 🫡❤️
Mal the greatest ❤️🙌👏
I noticed that as well. Incredible sound
AC-DC=KICK ASS🎶🎶🌪️🌪️
Coupled with the most distinctive voice ever.
Angus may be the icing, but Malcolm takes the 🎂
How the hell did anyone in the front row survive this?? Just straight up pure rock. Long may it live!
I saw these guys at The RITZ Theater in Corpus Christi Tx. in '77.
I saw them at The Memorial Coliseum in '78, '79.
Being front row for the HIGHWAY TO HELL tour was awesome and the tickets were $7.50 !
I used to enjoy loud performances IF I had my spongey earplugs in. My hearing was spared and I got the body punch on.

I agree 👍
This, children, is called peak badassery. End of lesson.

James Davies yes he is..and half the audience gets it, the other half doesn't..sadly..
I love Angus and he is crushing it as always here, but my "tears" always come from seeing and hearing Bon Scott. Never will forget!✊🤘
The entire band is a beast
@@dbd1353 that dude at 3:43 defo gets it 💯
I can’t even begin to imagine how fucking loud this show was
RIP Malcolm Young. Enjoy you beer with Bon.
Malcom one of the most underrated guitarist ever! A lethal combination with Angus! Pure unadulterated HARD Rock N Roll!
Agree totally
Some people might not understand when people say phil has some of the best groove in rock 'n' roll.
This here, is what they mean fuckin hell
There's in the pocket, and then there's right down the f---ing trousers.
oh fuckk yeah@@mightymartianca
The band is 5 feet from the crowd...the live performance of a lifetime, hopefully they weren't too high to remember
Being so close to such a r'n'r band will never happen again ... how lucky were those who attended the show ! Memories for life
Phil! Malcolm! Cliff! Angus! Bon! Sheer Perfection!!! Greatest ever!!!
The one, The only Bon Scott.
Yep: Best ROCK band ever. No question.
Colchester, England. The University of Essex. Real music. Proper.

No way. Ozzy Osbourne hands down.

Really fire thing
By far the most up front and personal recordings of the late great bon scott.he was a real gem,what a front man.
Phil has an unmatched groove and feel. So simple, it is VERY hard to do right. I have drummed for 38 years, and trying to sound like Phil is harder than sounding like Peart or Bonham. His meter is always perfect.
Rythym sections was strong with Phil, Malcom and Cliff on the groove. They sit in the pocket perfectly with each other.
'A lot of strength in the three of us' as Phil says in 'Let There Be Rock.
People in the live audience at that time had no idea what they were bearing witness to. Spectacular!
Disagree. We knew. I saw them first in 1978 and can still remember the thrill of being deaf for a few days, the sight of Angus in Bon's shoulders and the unbelievable power of the rhythm. It’s stayed with me ever since.
I saw them in '78, seventeen times since. My fav band. Just simply the best. God bless bon and malcolm. Long live ac/dc.
yes and don't we know it.

I love how his brother keeps playing but watches him very closely!
Acdc in their prime, What more could you ask for?
No one can solo like Angus Young
3:29 The ole smoke bomb in the satchel trick!
Never noticed that before. Shame on me.
Not the old shoe box dingy Bough?
The greatest performing rock band of the 70's, and I love Zep and Steely Dan too, but this is awesome.
Jesus, talk about bringing the house down - how on Earth could any band have followed this?
Check out Hendrix Johnny b good.
Live...
Apparently, they supported Rolling Stones in the '70s, and Mick Jagger didn't want them as a support again, precisely because they were such a hard act to follow!
I saw this tour in 78 right before Bonn Died.
Angus did not stop moving for the entire show!!
Angus is a pure fucking rocker through and through
This was DC at their creative and energetic pinnacle 78/79 Powerage and later Highway to Hell epic no filler albums 👌🎵🎸🎶🤘

wish I was a smidge older to have seen them in 77-79 era.....awesome band. R.I.P. Malcolm
We used to watch them on the national broadcaster ABC on countdown in Australia, whatever song came on that Sunday night all the kids would be singing at school the next day.
His voice is so special
Rock n Rolla.
These people had no idea of the greatness that they were watching...
Saw them at Newcastle in a night club 77 ish. Soaked through to my Wrangler jacket… 60 years old now… WHAT a gig… Geordie x ps 3.38 in… girl on shoulders… hope that was a pint in her hand not a coke.
I can actually hear the bass in an ACDC song. I love it. I like what Cliff Williams does in song. My favorite band ever.
Never forgotten Bon Scott & Malcolm Young❤ legends🤘love you guys 👌
Facking legends!
Angus probably had an ounze of weed on fire in his bag then go around the crowd. Haha CLASSIC
This was on my third birthday, I got a blue big wheel. It’s my earliest memory.
Bon has Angus up on his shoulders going through the crowd. That`s so bad ass!!!
Bass performance !
early ac/dc with bon scott has no equal, angus was a monster, the beauty was it was all about the music with them, crank up the marshalls and let it go, no make-up, posing, scarves, flowing wardrobes, glam... just the music, along with their punk attitude and energy. long live rock and roll, long live ac/dc.
This is about as it gets. 'Got little red socks, Blue suede shoes, V8 car...and tattoos! - pure poetry!
I love MALCOM YOUNG!!!
I'm worn out just from watching that!!!! Could you imagine being at one of these little shows? Bunch of lucky bastards!! \m/
The tuffest bestest little rock & roll outfit ever bar none.
The Rhythm Section is so tight it keeps my attention with its relentless perfection of cool riffs & changes. Then you add Angus & Bon in the mix…
I would be going NUTS at that concert! What an absolutely rocking band.
dirty deeds done dirt cheap
2 marshall stacks each and I doubt any of it is for "show". They must of been blowing the roof off of places!
Haven't ever seen this performance of this song from this concert ever before, it's excellent though!! So much energy and intensity from the boys!
Fuck Yea
Yess! Thats it when everybody's doing his thing 150% just fucking killing it...
Wow this was the same day I was born!!! This is great, nothing today compares
My Favorite band of All Time
Nobody beats Bon period best rock frontman ever voice is one of a kind
Es gibt wenige Lieder mit Brian Jonsen die mir gefallen. Aber alle Lieder mit Bon Scott sind für mich am besten.
I am at a loss of words! This performance and AC/DC are legendary! Absolutely I am speechless! That was so incredible and I was hooked from the second it started!
There never be anyone like bon again..... impossible....he would still be rocking at 73 yrs old....people realizing just how great he was....40 yrs later he is still huge.....rocknroll exemplified!!!
Angus does 4 strikes of the guitar and
Malcolm's in like a fucking steam train.
That boy ain't gonna stop.
RIP MALC
The good old days where you were close to the stage and no clowns with smartphones in the air.
Interesting band, hope they make it big.
It's the hardest rock n roll and no one can't pass this...
Bon Scott would cry if he alive in now days x')
Rip bon scott
Them were the day's l miss them!!!!!!!
Dude comes out with a satchel smokin. 40 years later that shit still eye poppin
Born on 10/29/78!!!! These fellas were tearing up the stage as I was on my way into the World.
Also, the Angus-on-Bon walkabout is amazing, I wish I could've gotten that close to the band back in the day!
This, kids, is what pure rock and gawdam roll sounds like.
This is an example of why the "Punks" loved AC/DC too!
Bon was a legend fact!
