Thank you for sharing that I've been listening to that song for 30 years at least and never made the connection. that is great! I like it even more now.
I always kinda felt bad for you guys because I saw the Back in Black show at the Cow Palace in SF and they had the Bell! I heard later that they sent the Bell on tour through Australia because Aussies felt like they were being gypped because the band hadn't toured there yet! That show BTW, was by far the best opening I've ever seen and way better than any of their live shows out here on YT! - Lights went down. - Spotlight on the bell - New spotlight on Johnson as he comes out with a sledgehammer and starts banging on it. - Hell's Bells opening riff with spotlight on Angus. - Lights up and we're off for a fantastic show! I was 23 and just out of the Army and it was my first serious date with my future wife! Great Times!
Bon Scott was amazing. There's a reason why even after 40 years, Brian Johnson is still called "The New Guy." Of course, anyone replacing Bon Scott would have a really hard job.
And Bon Scot's family and ACDC said to replace him with Brian...he had heard him sing ,liked what he saw & heard and told everyone if anything should ever happen where they would need to replace him as singer, Brian was the guy...and he was 👍
Remember those screaming girls all over him are now in their 60's and 70's🤣🤣🤣 we were hot stuff back then! Yep, this is was Countdown, Australia's favourite Sunday night show on at 6PM! 1976 on ownwards. Bon was dangerous, and the frontman. W😜hat a combination!
This version is from the mid 70s. The show was Countdown a weekly live rock show in Australia which aired for an hour at 6pm Sundays. It was hosted by Ian “Molly” Meldrum and featured guest hosts each week and was mandatory viewing AC DC were among those who included, Elton John, Rod Stewart, Bay City Rollers, and Prince (now King) Charles. Guest hosts would perform to a live audience of mainly teenage girls. This was about the standard audience response. Great show that went for about 13 years.
AC/DC lead guitarist Angus Young got the song title from the 1962 animated cartoon series Beany and Cecil. The specific inspiration for the song name was the cartoon's main villain, "Dishonest John," who would carry around a business card that said, "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. Holidays, Sundays, and Special Rates."
And in turn this was the main song/inspiration for the 2002 Australian film "Dirty Deeds" starring Bryan Brown, Toni Colette, John Goodman, Sam Neill & Sam Worthington about some Yank gangsters coming to town & getting their behinds handed to them by the local version😅.
Love your reaction! Bon Scott is my fav also. I don’t understand why people give you a hard time about knowing music from the 70s… It was not your era! But you’re learning now and I enjoy watching you discover new music… Thank you.!
because people always make the assumption that you can't go anywhere without hearing this song or that song or because they know a song someone else must know it too. Sure he's probably "passively heard" more music than he knows, but doesn't know that he knows it. I'll hear something in the store and you just glance up at the ceiling then spend 17 hours trying to figure out what you heard. That however does not mean he's listened to it. I will say that I was born in 78 and I knew songs from the 50s & 60s, I consider that an exception rather than a rule. It is fun seeing their reactions to music that I've listened to for years. I get a kick out of the amazement that comes across a persons face when it just really hits them.
Melbourne girl here who grew up seeing these guys so many times as a teenager in the mid 70’s with the one and only Bon Scott. That man exuded charisma even to us 14/15 yr old girls and even though in those days we could get backstage very easily we never did because he always had a naughty twinkle in his eye and we didn’t want to get into trouble. But he will always be their frontman to me and I am so grateful that I saw them so many times with him. I have never wanted to see them since he died. I think that I saw the best! RIP Bon, you will always be a legend in this country ❤
@@alimac1469 I think that your dad made a very wise choice. We were too young for him, he wasn’t known for getting younger girls but we did know that he loved the ladies so we kept well away. 😂
That would’ve been amazing. I’m a Melbourne lad, but was a teen in the 90s. The pub rock scene that you guys had access to in the 70s & 80s makes me jealous. Besides Acca Dacca at high schools and town halls, the likes of Cold Chisel, Midnight Oil, The Angels etc at pubs and clubs would have been so good.
@@shmick6079 it was an amazing time here. Saw The Angels at the Dorset Gardens Hotel, Matt Finish too. Saw Icehouse, Aussie Crawl, Cold Chisel. Every weekend we had to choose which pub to go and see which band, and it was so easy to take it all for granted. The Melbourne music scene was brilliant!!
I've never heard this arrangement. It's not bad. It's more live freestyle. The album version is faster. The studio version is longer with more deeds listed
The actual second verse he kind of forgot. On the album, it's: Pick up the phone, I'm here alone Or make a social call Come right in, forget about him We'll have ourselves a ball, hey So it's a different sort of "dirty deed".
Back door doesn't mean what you think, It's an old blues reference about cheating,the hubby goes out the front door of the house and the other man sneaks in the actual back door of the house. Hence back door man.
@@HeavyTopspinI just said this. I’m not sure if he forgot the lyrics because the girls attacked him or if, what it looks to me. He’s high as a kite. He just kept repeating back door man. Funny enough as bad technically as it was, he still pulled it off. But he left a whole verse out and then the lines go to, cyanide, tnt. He just flat forgot the rest and said back door. Crazy how he messed up but pulled off the performance still.
LOL. And the Lyrics were cleaned up for broadcast. The 3rd verse is missing (replaced by the second twice). And the list of things at the end was just modified completely
Please go down the Bon Scott rabbit hole. By far the best AC/DC Era. “Whole Lot of Rosie”, Jailbreak, Squealer, Let there be rock, Down Payment Blues, If you want Blood, Problem Child, Little Lover….so many bangers!
I was in High School when this song released and it was HUGE! My friends and I would sing, very loudly, "Dirty Deeds Done with SHEEP"...yeah, we were immature teens!!
I saw ACDC back in '79. Watching Bon and Angus was like watching one of those pinball machines with two balls going at the same time. They were all over the stage and you kept waiting for them to collide.
Thank You, I saw Bon first time in San Francisco on 9/3/1977, just turned 18. Saw him 3 more times, and then Brian on the Back in Black tour……and I miss Bon😢
I was a teen during the late 70s and 80s and ACDC has always been my favorite band hands down! Even with the change of lead singer after Bons death RIP. And they are still rocking it with Europe tour now in 2024 and in their 70s.
Its not a controversial opinion. Amongst most AC/DC fans, Bon Scott is the man. Thats no disrespect to Brian. Brian acknowledges this and accepts it. Brian is his own man, and helped break acdc in the us. But once you get families with the bavk catalogue, bon is the one. Bon had that indefinable x factor. His charisma just shines through in his singing, lyics and story telling. For more bon scott live performance, anything from the 1978 glasgow apollo shows. They were recorded and released as the live album "if you want blood (you got it)" so the quality for a 1978 performance is good. The live version of 'the jack' is something you need to react to but perhaps do the studio version first, then the live version immediately afterwards. The record company made them change the lyrics and made the studio version about a card game, but the jack is Australian slag for an STD so the live version is a bit dirty
Funny story is that when Bon first met Angus and Malcolm he said he doubted they knew how to rock. They responded that Bon was too old to rock (he was nine years older than Angus). This resulted in a jam session and the rest is history. Bon was the lead singer of a band called Fraternity at the time who then replaced him with Jimmy Barnes.
Have you seen Let there be rock, with Bon jumping down from the pulpit, Angus had a halo, and riding on a flat bed truck through the streets singing it's a long way to the top? With bagpipes.
@@PRGidaro In your first comment you said "Rock n Roll" and in your second one you just say "Rock" BUT... Rock n Roll was started by artists like Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis. They are what Rock n Roll sounds like. When Bon Scott was asked what style of music AC/DC plays he answered "We play Rock n Roll... just very loud" That's what I was referring to and if you call yourself an AC/DC fan you should have known that. Or maybe your just not old enough. Yes "Loud" is a hallmark of "Rock" thanks to acts like AC/DC and Ted Nugent, but it's not a hallmark of Rock n Roll" as they didn't have the giant amps and distorted guitar sounds back then. If you need anymore music history lessons let me know. 😎
@@stud5588 I may not be a rock historian but I do know I have heard a greater variety of music across all genres than most of the people I have talked about music too as well as the ones who do some of the first time listening videos. I enjoy your reactions to music videos.
@@PRGidaro Sorry dude. I was actually agreeing with you when I said "Very loud Rock n Roll" while at the same time referencing Bon Scott. All the best man, and keep enjoying the tunes.👍
Oh yeah - Bon Scott!!! I love AC/DC, but there is something even more special about the early Bon Scott days. Love his vocals and their more bluesy sound back then. Such a fun reaction, too! 🤘 I have never seen this video before. Glad you brought this one out. I wonder what some of the other Avenger reactors would think of this...
At some point it expanded/became more vague to allow for other illicit affairs. Basically just a term for someone you didn't want people to see coming or going. Internet sites have sullied the terminology for so many things, anymore.
Isn't it amazing, doesn't it just blow your mind...when your mind is opened up to all the different genre's of sound and music that mankind has created? The total well of sounds available to this creature is astounding. From classical opera to country western, blues, rock, rap...we are truly the masters of communication amongst our fellow creatures on this planet. We have been blessed with an amazing gift from the angels.
This was a TV performance in Australia back in 1976 just before AC/DC was signed overseas... their 3rd album 'Dirty deeds done dirt cheap'... They were marketed to teen girls early in their career but their popularity down under declined rapidly by 1977. So, AC/DC decided to move operations from Melbourne, Australia to London, England in '77... They were rising rapidly in Europe and also played USA for the first time that year as their 4th album 'Let there be rock' was released internationally. The funny story about 'Dirty deeds done dirt cheap' was... the album was released in the UK and Europe w/ a different cover and tracklist from the original release in Australia... In America, their label Atlantic records thought the album was so poor that they refused to release it and threatened to drop AC/DC after the release of 'High voltage' (their international debut album) in '76. AC/DC were able to get Atlantic to release 'Let there be rock' in the US and they started selling decently by 1978 w/ the 'Powerage' album. After Bon Scott passed away in 1980, AC/DC hired Brian Johnson as their new vocalist and the album 'Back in black' sold a phenomenal 12 million copies by 1981... Atlantic Records in America finally released 'Dirty deeds done dirt cheap'... and it sold 6x platinum in the US. Not bad for a record that the label once dismissed as a 'poor' effort!
They were at their height when they left Australia. Some here in Oz thought they abandoned us too quickly and that their ambitions meant more to them than their fans. They certainly turned on them when they came back. We came back around again later on though.
@@cathyaldridge4550 Well, AC/DC's then-manager Michael Browning recalled that in 1976, AC/DC was declining in Australia and their last gig there sold half the venue's capacity... the teeny bop audience had left AC/DC w/ few options at the time and promoters there wouldn't book them anymore... That was why Browning and AC/DC made the decision to move operations to the UK where the gigs were getting bigger by 1977 and Europe was happening for AC/DC... It also allowed the band to step into the N. American markets. None of this would have been possible if AC/DC had remained in Australia. Things didn't turn around in Australia for AC/DC until 'Highway to Hell' was released in 1979... (Manager Michael Browning was replaced by US management) and after Bon Scott passed away, 'Back in Black' happened and AC/DC's Australian fans finally demanded that they come home... Angus Young said that their last Australian gig was in 1976 to a few thousand fans... their gigs in early 1981 in Australia drew tens of thousands of fans.
Hey, Black Pegasus! The first time I really gave a listen to AC-DC was at a party in 1978. My friend threw the party and put the live album, “If You Want Blood, You’ve Got It” on his top of the line stereo system. He just let it play over and over. The party was outside and he brought a couple speakers out. Inside, it was loud as F. I went in and sat down drinking my Jack and Coke. I was blown away. The version he had of that album wasn’t released in the States. This guy got ahold of all kinds of music we couldn’t find here. Anyway, Bon Scott is one of my all time favorite singers. That era of AC-DC is also one of my favorite bands. Bon had a swagger and wrote lyrics unlike anyone at that time. Way, way ahead of the times. Really great reaction! I’ve never seen this video of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap before. The first album of AC-DC’s that I bought was through that guy who threw that party and it was the Australian release of the album “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.” It wasn’t released in the U.S. until 1981 but I got it in 78. The version of the song off that album has more verses than this video. More dirty deeds. If you get the chance, give it a listen. Thank you for all the great reactions and putting more thought behind the music you react to. You’re one of my favorite reactors. I don’t comment all that often, but your reaction to this mirrored exactly how I felt when I sat in that room in 78 and for the first time, really gave AC-DC a thorough listen. Yer killin’ it!
This was countdown. A music TV show on in Australia that was like mtv except it had live interviews with singers & bands & live music like that. It was on in the 70s
Bon was a fantastic song writer!!!!! Ppl don’t talk enough about all the hits he helped write!!!!! He performed what he wrote therefore you see the passion!!!!! Just saying!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!! 😎🍸
the tv show they are on was called Countdown. An australian music show. They generally all mined to songs, as is the case here. You can tell early in the lip when Bon comes in a tad late with his lip sync.
Some time ago I tried to figure out what the first metal song I ever heard was. After som thinking I concluded that this song must have been it. I could not speak English yet at that point at 7 years old so I didn't know what he said. But I LOVED the song.
This may have been from a show in Australia called "Countdown". A variety of acts would appear each week. That may explain why there are more girls. Even so Bon Scott had a magnetism too him. He wasnt a big guy though. My sister said he was like a Bantam Rooster strutting around on the stage. He was iconic and is missed.
I fully agree with your sister. I got to see him so many times as a teenager and he had an awful lot of charisma and a cheeky glint in his eye. He was brilliant and I love him still, and I first saw them nearly 50yrs ago! Our eyes would ring for 2 days afterwards, it really was an exciting time for music in Melbourne Australia!!
Such a pleasure to witness your childlike enthusiasm experiencing what some of us were lucky to be a part of wayyy back when ...First BIG concert I saw was AC/DC when I was 11 years old 1976 so so so good ! Saw every tour after that w Bon and then Brian ...they put on a show!!! I was to young at first but you walk out of a show hot n bothered . Bon slinked all over the stage and released some sort of Magickal mojo juice that overtook you and hypnotized males n females alike . to this day whenever I play AC/DC i can feel it inside and wanna release the beast within and im an old hag now! thanks for the fun of watching u!
Bon is the man!! He’s a character for sure and I love it!!! Go down the rabbit hole and react to all the early albums with Bon Scott ❤😂!!!!! High Voltage If You Don’t ant Blood Highway To Hell Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Hey Black Pegasus first off thank you crazy to think you were Flobama back in my POTLUCK days crazy!!!! As much as I Love Bon Scott the River Plate video is crazy in itself definitely worth the watch I kind of put AC/DC into 2 bands Bon Scott era then the Brian Johnson era. To me they are 2 separate bands and sounds when you get down to it.
I am 60 and been a massive AC/DC fan since 13 in Jr. High School.. I Love Bon and was a sad kid when he passed. RIP Legend.. Back In Black was released and I said AC/DC will survive.. I Love Brain Too... AC/DC Forever....
I have been listening to this album since 1980. My older brother had it. I was blown away that I had never seen this video before. Brian Johnson is good, Bon Scott was great. You gotta check out TnT, Night Prowler and Ride On
Angus Young (lead guitar) of AC/DC said that the title 'Dirty Deeds done dirt cheap' came from a comic strip called "Beanie & Cecil the sea-sick serpent"... the villain of the cartoon was called 'Dishonest Joe'... and he had a motorbike w/ a sign on it that read: "Dirty deeds done dirt cheap / Special rates holidays" 😂 I believe it was made into an animated cartoon show.
Bon Scott is my AC/DC preference.The Dirty Deeds album was released in 1976, but not here in the US, it didn't get released until 1981. Livewire, Sin City, The Jack and my favorite Ride On. Bon was definitely a shooting star.
Agree Bon was the man! So glad I got to see him live! My fav of his is jailbreak but his versions of 'big balls', 'a whole lotta Rosie' and 'let there be rock' show of his sense of humour and showmanship.
BP, you're not alone in your preference for Bon Scott. His attitude was what got ACDC noticed in the beginning. Unfortunately, that chick grabbing him caused him to forget his lines at the end. But it was still awesome. You might want the recorded version for your workouts, though. He had no distractions during the recording session. 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
The term “dirty deeds done dirt cheap” is a reference to a cartoon called Beany and Cecil, which Angus watched as a kid. One of the characters in it, Dishonest John, carried a business card that read “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.
This performance was from a TV show called Countdown. It was a music show from 1973-1987 on our national broadcaster ABC Melbourne studio. This show brings back memories. I would watch it every Sunday night.
My childhood in Perth WA. We'd watch Countdown every Sunday night and talk about it at school on Monday. Countdown launched many a musical career including some top international acts.
Fun song , Bon Scott did a lot of tongue n cheek with his lyrics. I still got this vinyl I purchased when I was a teenager many moons ago One of my favorite AC/DC albums 🎤drop
I saw an interview where Angus Young talks about the time Bon Scot's mom bought a ticket for him to fly home from LA. The plane landed and he wasn't there. Everyone is freaking out. Days later, he knocks on his mom's door in Australia. He's only wearing a pair of jeans. No shirt or no shoes. They asked him where he had been. He wasn't exactly sure, but he thought he met a girl on the flight from Thailand and he got off the connecting flight with her and stayed with her a few days and then flew home.
This looks like a live performance on a TV show. I agree, it was a wild performance. Although I wonder if they told a few girls to go up on stage to juice things up, lol.
The phone number he gave was 36-24-36 which was considered the ideal measurement for a woman. Bon had that bad boy charisma you couldn’t deny.
It is still ideal for me.
Thank you for sharing that I've been listening to that song for 30 years at least and never made the connection. that is great! I like it even more now.
Only if she’s 5’3 😂
Sorry only 5 feet tall...
Bon liked them big 42-39-56 You could say she got it all!! - Whole lotta Rosie
As an Aussie kid in the 70s......BON SCOTT FOREVER!! Primal at its best.....
Yes. PRIMAL is the word.
I'm not an Aussie but, Yeah 💯🔥🔥
As an American kid from the 70's - 80's...Bon Scott all the way....no offense to Brian, he's a force of nature too.
I always kinda felt bad for you guys because I saw the Back in Black show at the Cow Palace in SF and they had the Bell!
I heard later that they sent the Bell on tour through Australia because Aussies felt like they were being gypped because the band hadn't toured there yet!

- Lights went down.
- Spotlight on the bell
- New spotlight on Johnson as he comes out with a sledgehammer and starts banging on it.
- Hell's Bells opening riff with spotlight on Angus.
- Lights up and we're off for a fantastic show!

yeah and i’m one of them now in my mid 60s lol Whete did those years go? 😂
You gotta do Big Balls
I grew up in Australia in the 70’s and the Bon Scott era. The Bon Scott yrs were far and away the best. The real AC/DC
so funny u did this masterpiece...last week i read someone post..."Notice: Due to inflation, dirty deeds can no longer be done dirt cheap."
😂😂
That's toooo good!!!!
Ride On is AC/DC's bluesiest song and Bon Scott at his best
Gone Shootin and Little Lover are right up there for Bon Scott blues
So good and I love Night Prowler
my favourite ac/dc blues is the down payment blues.
And Crabsody In Blue from the Australian Let There Be Rock
Yes!!! Freakin’ love that song!

Thank goodness we can still watch classic countdown in Aust
The ending of the studio version of Dirty Deeds has one of the most famous screams in rock history: "Yaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrggghhhhhh!"
I prefer the more addled one at the end of “Shot Down in Flames,” lol
I've always heard that scream was Angus.
😂❤😂
Jimmy Barnes AKA the screaming cowboy just entered the chat
Missing line that Bon flubbed when he got babe jumped, "Or make a social call. Come right in, Forget about him. We'll have ourselves a ball."
He stuffed the words up way more than that! Probably coz he was off his guts.🤣🤘

Let There Be Rock
LOL. And the Lyrics were cleaned up for broadcast. The 3rd verse is missing (replaced by the second twice). And the list of things at the end was just modified completely
I just noticed that
The album version has "neckties...contracts...HIGH VOLTAGE!"
now you need to hear Bon Scotts' "Shes' Got The Jack" you'll love it!
There are 2 versions of "The Jack" that are sung by Bon Scott
Don't apologize, Bon Scott is great! His voice is like no other.
Please go down the Bon Scott rabbit hole. By far the best AC/DC Era. “Whole Lot of Rosie”, Jailbreak, Squealer, Let there be rock, Down Payment Blues, If you want Blood, Problem Child, Little Lover….so many bangers!
I was in High School when this song released and it was HUGE! My friends and I would sing, very loudly, "Dirty Deeds Done with SHEEP"...yeah, we were immature teens!!
We sung that version at high school in the 90s.
It's a long to the cross if you want to f a mole 😂
What about long way to the shop for a Sausage roll, or real name long way to the top lol😂😂
Love your reaction to Bon Scott. It was a huge loss when he passed. Definitely my favourite.
I needed decades to refer to the new singer in other way then "the new singer"... ;-)
🌸 you have every right to honor bon Scott... it's wonderful that you chose this one. let's fricken go !
Saw em at the Fitzroy gardens in front of the Exhibition building back in 74 here in Melbourne Australia before they were famous, my first concert
This is the REAL AC/DC. The GREAT Bon Scott!!
A hilarious spoof song is called "Dirty Deeds Done With Sheep"...😂😂😂😂
Gumboots, Velcro gloves 😂
Kiwi cover, was it?
@kathyheyne6030 no. Someone in Albany, New York...
Bonn video "Let There Be Rock" is a banger as well...
I saw ACDC back in '79. Watching Bon and Angus was like watching one of those pinball machines with two balls going at the same time. They were all over the stage and you kept waiting for them to collide.
This is exactly why we wanted you to hear this song! Yeah, we girls and ladies LOVE AC/DC!
Bon was such a story teller. gotta read his poetry]lyrics] . the wit and doubles.
Bon Scott is the GOAT. Try 'T.N.T.', 'She's got the Jack', 'Jailbreak', 'Highway to Hell' plus many more.
Big Balls was my dad's favourite
My fav is HIGH VOLTAGE! :D
The look on your face .... priceless!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah - AC/DC. Love's
Thank You, I saw Bon first time in San Francisco on 9/3/1977, just turned 18. Saw him 3 more times, and then Brian on the Back in Black tour……and I miss Bon😢
I was a teen during the late 70s and 80s and ACDC has always been my favorite band hands down! Even with the change of lead singer after Bons death RIP. And they are still rocking it with Europe tour now in 2024 and in their 70s.
Its not a controversial opinion.
Amongst most AC/DC fans, Bon Scott is the man. Thats no disrespect to Brian. Brian acknowledges this and accepts it. Brian is his own man, and helped break acdc in the us. But once you get families with the bavk catalogue, bon is the one.
Bon had that indefinable x factor. His charisma just shines through in his singing, lyics and story telling.
For more bon scott live performance, anything from the 1978 glasgow apollo shows. They were recorded and released as the live album "if you want blood (you got it)" so the quality for a 1978 performance is good.
The live version of 'the jack' is something you need to react to but perhaps do the studio version first, then the live version immediately afterwards. The record company made them change the lyrics and made the studio version about a card game, but the jack is Australian slag for an STD so the live version is a bit dirty
Bon Scott so much Carisma🔥
I first heard this song driving between Perth and Kalgoorlie as a kid... my dad loved this song in the car in particular.. .classic
Hells Bells, Brian saved the sound...and it was a miracle he could do that. Both were great.
Funny story is that when Bon first met Angus and Malcolm he said he doubted they knew how to rock. They responded that Bon was too old to rock (he was nine years older than Angus). This resulted in a jam session and the rest is history. Bon was the lead singer of a band called Fraternity at the time who then replaced him with Jimmy Barnes.
Yeah. You’d have thought Bon would have known George Young always said his younger brothers were better musicians than he was, wouldn’t you?
The 80's music always gives goose bumps, so good!!
Have you seen Let there be rock, with Bon jumping down from the pulpit, Angus had a halo, and riding on a flat bed truck through the streets singing it's a long way to the top? With bagpipes.
😅loved all these and JAILBREAK
AC/DC is what Rock and Roll sounds like.
Very loud Rock n Roll that is.
@@stud5588 that is one of the hallmarks of rock.
@@PRGidaro In your first comment you said "Rock n Roll" and in your second one you just say "Rock" BUT... Rock n Roll was started by artists like Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis. They are what Rock n Roll sounds like. When Bon Scott was asked what style of music AC/DC plays he answered "We play Rock n Roll... just very loud" That's what I was referring to and if you call yourself an AC/DC fan you should have known that. Or maybe your just not old enough. Yes "Loud" is a hallmark of "Rock" thanks to acts like AC/DC and Ted Nugent, but it's not a hallmark of Rock n Roll" as they didn't have the giant amps and distorted guitar sounds back then. If you need anymore music history lessons let me know. 😎
@@stud5588 I may not be a rock historian but I do know I have heard a greater variety of music across all genres than most of the people I have talked about music too as well as the ones who do some of the first time listening videos. I enjoy your reactions to music videos.
@@PRGidaro Sorry dude. I was actually agreeing with you when I said "Very loud Rock n Roll" while at the same time referencing Bon Scott. All the best man, and keep enjoying the tunes.👍
Saw them live in 1977/8 before they were huge , so good ..also 3 times in the 2000s
Oh yeah - Bon Scott!!! I love AC/DC, but there is something even more special about the early Bon Scott days. Love his vocals and their more bluesy sound back then. Such a fun reaction, too! 🤘
I have never seen this video before. Glad you brought this one out. I wonder what some of the other Avenger reactors would think of this...
Hiya mate I'm from Perth Western Australia and this is the resting place of the great Bon Scott RIP and unfortunately we ALL love Bon Scott RIP more❤❤
FYI - Back door man was an old slang term for a criminal/thief coming in through the back door. That's what he was referencing.
At some point it expanded/became more vague to allow for other illicit affairs. Basically just a term for someone you didn't want people to see coming or going. Internet sites have sullied the terminology for so many things, anymore.
Small venue, yep, was at one of those...best time, eched in my memory since i was 14
Great reaction! Love your content BP!! ❤
Isn't it amazing, doesn't it just blow your mind...when your mind is opened up to all the different genre's of sound and music that mankind has created? The total well of sounds available to this creature is astounding. From classical opera to country western, blues, rock, rap...we are truly the masters of communication amongst our fellow creatures on this planet. We have been blessed with an amazing gift from the angels.
Ride On is one of my favorite blues sounding. I would love to see you do Big Balls.
Damn first time seeing this video. Wow
This was awesome! Not seen. Ty sir! Bon is the lead singer of this band. 😊
Bon Scott is my favorite AC/DC lead singer.
Bon will always be my favorite. Loved his voice and charisma. Gone too soon.😢
Agreed no disrespect to Brian Johnson but Bon was a much better frontman and the band defiantly lost an edginess when he died
This was a TV performance in Australia back in 1976 just before AC/DC was signed overseas... their 3rd album 'Dirty deeds done dirt cheap'... They were marketed to teen girls early in their career but their popularity down under declined rapidly by 1977.
So, AC/DC decided to move operations from Melbourne, Australia to London, England in '77... They were rising rapidly in Europe and also played USA for the first time that year as their 4th album 'Let there be rock' was released internationally.
The funny story about 'Dirty deeds done dirt cheap' was... the album was released in the UK and Europe w/ a different cover and tracklist from the original release in Australia... In America, their label Atlantic records thought the album was so poor that they refused to release it and threatened to drop AC/DC after the release of 'High voltage' (their international debut album) in '76.
AC/DC were able to get Atlantic to release 'Let there be rock' in the US and they started selling decently by 1978 w/ the 'Powerage' album.
After Bon Scott passed away in 1980, AC/DC hired Brian Johnson as their new vocalist and the album 'Back in black' sold a phenomenal 12 million copies by 1981... Atlantic Records in America finally released 'Dirty deeds done dirt cheap'... and it sold 6x platinum in the US. Not bad for a record that the label once dismissed as a 'poor' effort!
They were at their height when they left Australia. Some here in Oz thought they abandoned us too quickly and that their ambitions meant more to them than their fans. They certainly turned on them when they came back. We came back around again later on though.
@@cathyaldridge4550 Well, AC/DC's then-manager Michael Browning recalled that in 1976, AC/DC was declining in Australia and their last gig there sold half the venue's capacity... the teeny bop audience had left AC/DC w/ few options at the time and promoters there wouldn't book them anymore...
That was why Browning and AC/DC made the decision to move operations to the UK where the gigs were getting bigger by 1977 and Europe was happening for AC/DC... It also allowed the band to step into the N. American markets.
None of this would have been possible if AC/DC had remained in Australia.
Things didn't turn around in Australia for AC/DC until 'Highway to Hell' was released in 1979... (Manager Michael Browning was replaced by US management) and after Bon Scott passed away, 'Back in Black' happened and AC/DC's Australian fans finally demanded that they come home...
Angus Young said that their last Australian gig was in 1976 to a few thousand fans... their gigs in early 1981 in Australia drew tens of thousands of fans.
Sometimes record labels don't know shite😂. So many artists have had similiar things happen.
BON SCOTT FOREVER❤
Hey, Black Pegasus! The first time I really gave a listen to AC-DC was at a party in 1978. My friend threw the party and put the live album, “If You Want Blood, You’ve Got It” on his top of the line stereo system. He just let it play over and over. The party was outside and he brought a couple speakers out. Inside, it was loud as F. I went in and sat down drinking my Jack and Coke. I was blown away.
The version he had of that album wasn’t released in the States. This guy got ahold of all kinds of music we couldn’t find here. Anyway, Bon Scott is one of my all time favorite singers. That era of AC-DC is also one of my favorite bands. Bon had a swagger and wrote lyrics unlike anyone at that time. Way, way ahead of the times.
Really great reaction! I’ve never seen this video of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap before. The first album of AC-DC’s that I bought was through that guy who threw that party and it was the Australian release of the album “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.” It wasn’t released in the U.S. until 1981 but I got it in 78. The version of the song off that album has more verses than this video. More dirty deeds. If you get the chance, give it a listen.
Thank you for all the great reactions and putting more thought behind the music you react to. You’re one of my favorite reactors. I don’t comment all that often, but your reaction to this mirrored exactly how I felt when I sat in that room in 78 and for the first time, really gave AC-DC a thorough listen. Yer killin’ it!
Anything Bon Scott is a banger with ACDC
This was countdown. A music TV show on in Australia that was like mtv except it had live interviews with singers & bands & live music like that. It was on in the 70s
Bon was a fantastic song writer!!!!! Ppl don’t talk enough about all the hits he helped write!!!!! He performed what he wrote therefore you see the passion!!!!! Just saying!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!! 😎🍸
OK, the look on your face is just priceless! AC/DC!
What a pro, girl runs up on stage grinding on him, he lets her finish and never misses a note. I gotta respect the professionalism
Aside from the notes he was unable to sing
the tv show they are on was called Countdown. An australian music show. They generally all mined to songs, as is the case here. You can tell early in the lip when Bon comes in a tad late with his lip sync.
Some time ago I tried to figure out what the first metal song I ever heard was. After som thinking I concluded that this song must have been it. I could not speak English yet at that point at 7 years old so I didn't know what he said. But I LOVED the song.
This may have been from a show in Australia called "Countdown". A variety of acts would appear each week. That may explain why there are more girls. Even so Bon Scott had a magnetism too him. He wasnt a big guy though. My sister said he was like a Bantam Rooster strutting around on the stage. He was iconic and is missed.
I fully agree with your sister. I got to see him so many times as a teenager and he had an awful lot of charisma and a cheeky glint in his eye. He was brilliant and I love him still, and I first saw them nearly 50yrs ago! Our eyes would ring for 2 days afterwards, it really was an exciting time for music in Melbourne Australia!!
Such a pleasure to witness your childlike enthusiasm experiencing what some of us were lucky to be a part of wayyy back when ...First BIG concert I saw was AC/DC when I was 11 years old 1976 so so so good ! Saw every tour after that w Bon and then Brian ...they put on a show!!! I was to young at first but you walk out of a show hot n bothered . Bon slinked all over the stage and released some sort of Magickal mojo juice that overtook you and hypnotized males n females alike . to this day whenever I play AC/DC i can feel it inside and wanna release the beast within and im an old hag now! thanks for the fun of watching u!
This is the Bon Scott era 1974-1980 then Brian Johnson became lead.
Bon is the man!! He’s a character for sure and I love it!!! Go down the rabbit hole and react to all the early albums with Bon Scott ❤😂!!!!!
High Voltage
If You Don’t ant Blood
Highway To Hell
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Hey Black Pegasus first off thank you crazy to think you were Flobama back in my POTLUCK days crazy!!!! As much as I Love Bon Scott the River Plate video is crazy in itself definitely worth the watch I kind of put AC/DC into 2 bands Bon Scott era then the Brian Johnson era. To me they are 2 separate bands and sounds when you get down to it.
I LOVE Bon Scott! I cried when he died! Saw him on this tour... It was amazing!!! 😊
AC/DC with Bon Scott was the most fun a rock band can be. You could always tell that Bon was living his best life all the damned time.
I am 60 and been a massive AC/DC fan since 13 in Jr. High School.. I Love Bon and was a sad kid when he passed. RIP Legend.. Back In Black was released and I said AC/DC will survive.. I Love Brain Too... AC/DC Forever....
Need to do one of my favs......Jailbreak (1976 video)
Definitely agree about Bon Scott
Thanks BP! I'm a life long ACDC fan, but had never seen this video with Bon Scott. Yeah, they crazy!
Angus never gets enough recognition!! He is killer!!
Crazy, Angus gets his flowers, everyone loves him. Malcom now, folks sleep on him, he deserves more respect
huh? Angus def got his props during their heyday....
I have been listening to this album since 1980. My older brother had it. I was blown away that I had never seen this video before. Brian Johnson is good, Bon Scott was great. You gotta check out TnT, Night Prowler and Ride On
Angus Young (lead guitar) of AC/DC said that the title 'Dirty Deeds done dirt cheap' came from a comic strip called "Beanie & Cecil the sea-sick serpent"... the villain of the cartoon was called 'Dishonest Joe'... and he had a motorbike w/ a sign on it that read: "Dirty deeds done dirt cheap / Special rates holidays" 😂 I believe it was made into an animated cartoon show.
I love this song always have one of my favorites
You should do Bon Scott AC/DC album reviews. You will appreciate them even more.
Love Bon Scott best too! He’s a performer
Bon Scott is my AC/DC preference.The Dirty Deeds album was released in 1976, but not here in the US, it didn't get released until 1981. Livewire, Sin City, The Jack and my favorite Ride On. Bon was definitely a shooting star.
Agree Bon was the man! So glad I got to see him live! My fav of his is jailbreak but his versions of 'big balls', 'a whole lotta Rosie' and 'let there be rock' show of his sense of humour and showmanship.
They were at their best with Bon Scott.. Broke my heart he died on my 12th birthday 😢
Thank you for playing AC/DC
BP, you're not alone in your preference for Bon Scott. His attitude was what got ACDC noticed in the beginning. Unfortunately, that chick grabbing him caused him to forget his lines at the end. But it was still awesome. You might want the recorded version for your workouts, though. He had no distractions during the recording session. 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
The term “dirty deeds done dirt cheap” is a reference to a cartoon called Beany and Cecil, which Angus watched as a kid. One of the characters in it, Dishonest John, carried a business card that read “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.
No one does this song like Bon Scott (IMHO). Thanks looking up this version - I will have to keep it around!
This performance was from a TV show called Countdown. It was a music show from 1973-1987 on our national broadcaster ABC Melbourne studio. This show brings back memories. I would watch it every Sunday night.
My childhood in Perth WA. We'd watch Countdown every Sunday night and talk about it at school on Monday. Countdown launched many a musical career including some top international acts.
So as AC/DC fan my favorite song is "A whole lot of Rosie".
Fun song , Bon Scott did a lot of tongue n cheek with his lyrics. I still got this vinyl I purchased when I was a teenager many moons ago
One of my favorite AC/DC albums 🎤drop
I saw an interview where Angus Young talks about the time Bon Scot's mom bought a ticket for him to fly home from LA. The plane landed and he wasn't there. Everyone is freaking out. Days later, he knocks on his mom's door in Australia. He's only wearing a pair of jeans. No shirt or no shoes. They asked him where he had been. He wasn't exactly sure, but he thought he met a girl on the flight from Thailand and he got off the connecting flight with her and stayed with her a few days and then flew home.
From Algeria, bon was and still the greatest front man in music history
Johnny Cash - When the Man Comes Around - You will be shaken to your core.
This looks like a live performance on a TV show. I agree, it was a wild performance. Although I wonder if they told a few girls to go up on stage to juice things up, lol.
Bon Scott is the absolute BEST!!!
Love to anyone who loves bon scott acdc years im 63 and God knows how good they they were then love and blessed are bons fans.😅
Bon Scott is the loveable maniac ...
