The particular flavours that Vanda and Young added to so many good bands-not the least is AC/DC-was what created a particular sonic that all rockin' Australians know. The Angel's muted guitar was probably the greatest of all the 'Australian sounds' we were being fed. I've heard it said that what music you love as a 15 year old boy is the music you will love all your life. With a passion. One can't escape that love even if one tried.
As an American fascinated with Aussie culture, I found this doc extremely entertaining! I've been on an ACDC documentary kick lately and that has led me this amazing documentary
My mum is in her mid 70's and she's a huge AC/DC fan, we always had some AC/DC playing on the stereo when I was a little kid, I'm 53 years old now and I'm still a huge AC/DC fan.
As an American that believes Rock-N-Roll is life, and who would want to be Australian had I not been born in America, I find this absolutely fascinating.
Growing up Australian in the ‘60’s, ‘70’s and ‘80’s was a gift. We were so blessed to have our own world class local music scene.. while also being tuned in to both the UK and US charts. Our whole world revolved around music. But, at the centre of our country, the spirit and the heart, is a big, red rock named Uluru, and rock we do.
A pub on every corner , and a live band playing in every one of them , from the 'Gong' , to Gosford . Not a single soul ever thought we'd lose it . We baby-boomers are all still so very united from our blessed live music scenes together.
As a 55yr old Australian, I approve this doco. I grew up with the aussie sound. Unfortunately, I think we have lost alot of our unique sound in modern times. Tho, for a while there, we had the best music, up there with America and Great Britain ❤
Angus my hero damn he rocks Australia never had great music until the seekers came up set the scene. Love this story. Such a humble band, God Bless. I wish my parents went to aus.
A fellow i know has the original studio monitors from Alberts in his studio. I felt honoured to see and hear them and I guess most of this music was played through them as it was recorded and mixed. Amazing history right there in those old black boxes.
As a speaker nut (well, casually), can you PLEASE tell us more about them?! (Fun fact: it was an Australian who invented the modern concept of speak design - A. Neville Thiele.)
@@hoilst265 Hi mate. We recorded an album at this studio with Steve Albini.Not that it helped our career much but still. Steve absolutely loves ACDC. So Mick says to Steve "well you might be a bit interested that those speakers there are from Alberts Studio" Well Steve sure was and so were all of us. Strangely enough such icons were not set up as control room monitors. They were just in the recording room as monitors to chat to the band on if i have it right.I guess while they have their history,age and technology has come a long way surpassing them.
@@bloffs3352 I'm glad they're still in a studio, but they also ought to be in a museum! Was this in Australia still? And can I hear your music anywhere?
Can you please make part 2 available in Australia! It is our music and part of our history and I can't watch part 2 in my country! Part 1 was amazing and I NEED part 2. Please.

This would have to be one of the most informative, conclusive and best produced musical documentaries worldwide. For people who think that you can continuously mix the good with the bad, and succeed, here is the proof that it just isn't possible. Stevie Wright could have been anything, being a case in point.
The Easybeats belong at the beginning, but who inspired them the most? If you say Beatles or Stones you'd be wrong. According to Vanda & Young they most wanted to be like The Pretty Things, who toured the area in 1964.
I could not look at Stevie Wright, and see him the way he was, and the damage done to himself through drugs.. He has so much potential. It is very sad.
@chriss2452 Maybe if you watched the video first before commenting then perhaps you would not look as foolish as it appears by making Illinformed statements, that would be a good idea,eh? Have a nice day!
@@hypercomms2001 thank you very much! That's very kind of you. You know, the video said "can't be seen in your country", so I guess I'll just google it instead of asking stupid questions. Have a nice day you too!
Evie was released 1974.Before this,Billy Thorpe had already created our loud proud music scene.This is history rewritten.Stevie Wright had nothing on King Billy
I know the Aussies love to shit on us "Yanks" because we don't get bands like Rose Tattoo, or other hard edged bands from Down Under, but what they don't understand is that we didn't grow up with that sound here. AC/DC is my favorite band in the world, and I love the Bon Scott era, Vanda and Young produced records, but sorry, Rose Tattoo doesn't do it for me. I like other bands like UFO and some of the harder NWOBHM stuff, but I grew up hearing that stuff since I was born in 1970. Vanda and Young were brilliant producers, and Harry seems like a great guy. "Let There Be Rock" and "Dirty Deeds" are fucking great records
@@simonkormendy849 And I love AC/DC, like I said. I prefer the harder edged "Let There Be Rock" over the more polished "Highway to Hell" (which is still a great album).
@@JokersWild70 The Australian Let There Be Rock album , in my honest opinion , is THE greatest album ever made. For soo many reasons. It is George's masterpiece .

what alot of shit dont say is that here there was just as good bands in Sa back then doing beat group garage band stuff but no one realises they made it to one session and single then times changed so it was like one hit wonders and that was that i met the old boys at the record shop which is gone too but you learn bits so fill in gaps like venues now long gone turned to car park and shit or like beach clubs named in wrong way so people did it as a festival or band not club so anyways some went long hair late 60s so thought of that way books been written on this shit and craps on comp cds alot real stuff is all on you tube but like a single on deck with audio so like play it film it you tube it thats that if you wanna see it all its how its done i plug in a audio cable to headphone jack on tv laptop and pc record to mic in tape player you get a good comp cdr this way but takes bit of time as all trax are 2 mins so takes a bit to fill it anyways on my fb i got all them best of australia garage bands listed its weird but facts some bands did different tracks on backwarded name like jimmy rabbit and the carrots or the carrots and jimmy rabbit etc and not any have a photo to name online so out of all bands australia be 3 pix to 300 names with no band pic and thats how it went but if you use back book index type in names and use all sources from all over it will lead you to more go to channels alot there stick to singles on player stuff and dont cry if you listen to radio bought target cds and are a dumb ass yob cause its pretty good when you find it all which i hope you cops and council workers dont so die and lived with jerry and the pacemakers or some bee gees shit its dumb all this but how it was cause alot was recorded in studios owned by tv stations here like 9 who had a massive echo dish and was on hindley and imagine it they staff wouldve wanted them all out asap so one take get stuffed
all them 60s girls ended up public housing dole bludgers and lard kegs but i really got to say angus talks like the serial killer who lives in the football stadium in the first dirty harry film its never mentioned alberts was a mono am radio type of studio and no one wouldve got far just in there with him and this local scene but acdc formed here at a party when bon was living on a commune in the hills and he crashed his bike on my street my parents were in country nsw and met cause my dad laid train tracks and mum worked a cafetiria they had all these singles and were young all photos from there looks like these youngsters but when i listen to easys my dad laughs cause all them people ended up broke tragic and housos but the working class youngsters in the 60s all had kids worked lowest pay hardest jobs to end up home owners and drove chryslers while the rest drove ej and eh crap boxes and cop car slo mo falcons most drank at breakfast and loved self but anyways my dads still going was stevies age and i ended up surrounded by the 2002 meth army of houso zombies who crank acdc all nite and never buy groceries have india delivery are all lard keg women who use her big knockers neighbour arabs lover girl to bait in lil garys and fat feet ute driver scungeys its a pity what was real ends up like this in australia but couldve been worse as dad built blox flats paris 60s b4 came here now full arabs wearing fake gold chains singing into 2 grand mic hip hop french style which was flogged off new york blacks that got jack - the more you talk on reality the more you sound like a beatnik poet on acid all good fodder for a song called youre all wankers

Every time I watch a documentary about Australian music, the momentum always picks up the moment it starts talking about AC/DC!!
Brilliant
Utterly Brilliant!!
An awesome Australian story!!
Damn those Aussies know how to make a rock doco . Just riveting .
Where is part 2 please ?

Come on down
This is an amazing story. Love AC/DC!

It was all over when Powderfinger pulled the plug - they were the last of the live and local guitar tourers.
I was 13 in 63 I grew up with the best music in the world I went to Homebush High a couple of stations from Ashfield.
Awesome trip into Aussie rock & the music industry. Loved it!
So true. I turned 15 in 77. Nothing was ever as good as Aussie rock in the 70s.

I realised what made ac/dc great was that were all on the beat like a machine and never swayed from it. Solid and dependable. Trustworthy beat.
Wow! When i heard I'll Make You Happy playing, I didn't realize Divinyls had been covering it years later.
The world needed this documentary.

Young & Vanda were famous for writing hit ballads, yet AC/DC never did a single ballad they were just balls to the wall rock n'roll.
Love Song off the Australian release of High Voltage is 100% a ballad.
Love Song was a ballad, and while it's debated whether or not Ride On can be considered a ballad it certainly isn't a typical rocker of their's.
i watched this years ago on aussie ABC a great documentary
We ain't gonna change for nobody Bon Scott.

Ah man. Can't wait to get stuck into this!
Great vid. Lots of "but I don't wanna be a pirate!" shirts.

can Angus also play left handed ?...see thumbnail
He plays left handed.
