Love seeing bloopers and cheeky outtakes of AC/DC like this, fun to watch! :)

I remember watching this interview as they were leaving to go overseas.

[@user-mz7ov3pz7j]

I wouldn’t be able to string a word together at all! LOL 😂
Wow! The boys are so young!
To go on and be one of the best bands in the world, all their hard work is still paying off!
Congratulations! Keep on Rockin! 😊😝

I got to be on Countdown in the late 70's/early 80's. Sadly, AC/DC's venture on CD was a tad before my time.

[@SirSSau]

Just depends where you were brought up, the young bothers from Sydney, Mark and Phil are from Melbourne.
That’s why Phil sounded different.

@@SirSSau bon has a Perth accent then?

[@lordclancharlie1325]

Cliff got the album title wrong

[@SirSSau]

Cliff wasn’t in the band back then, that was Phil, and Jailbreak was on Dirty Deeds album here in Australia.
