I’ve watched this like 30 times. Absolutely amazing job not only with the overdub, but the timing. Not to mention that is an absolutely ripping solo. Bravo!
Right on! Check out BB King and friends. The album from 79 I believe. Johnny and Edgar Winter jam in that concert. But damn, about 20 minutes of BB and George Benson jamming to the next universe! Enjoy! 🎶 🎸
I'm with you Brother. I've been listening to Breezin since it first came out and it never disappoints to this day. George Benson was an amazing guitar player. I'm sure there's a name for it when someone plays the guitar and sings the same notes simultaneously but it escapes me. Whatever it's called George Benson perfected it
Amazing rendition of a Jazz classic by National Treasure George Benson. Proof that music is absolutely transcendental and every great musician, is himself, a music fan. Very cool.
Loved this song when George released it. It goes to show that our favorite musicians have a diversified taste in music, regardless of the genre they live in.
notice Malcolm's hands/chords, never change, it's a good sync job until you know where the chords should change, and they don't My guess is this is thunderstruck
I’ll never forget the night AC/DC payed tribute to The Bee Gees. Incredible versions of More Than a Woman and Nights on Broadway. These guys were born to POP.
The Young brothers Angus, Malcolm and George are incredibly talented musicians. When you hear a tribute like this that is completely the opposite to their normal genre you gotta have respect for that amazing talent
Great video. I am 60 years old and I have been listening to these guys since I was around 17 years old. They somehow continue to be relevant and awesome. Rest in peace Malcolm. Keep rocking you amazing fellows.
Yeah, 57 and lost hearing at 15 from attending For Those About To Rock tour. It was my first real concert, ears rang for days. I'm sure there are frequencies I haven't heard since then.
Would love to give credit to whoever is playing guitar to overdub to the video! It's great guitar playing and great timing. Angus is awesome and one of my favs! But this idea to overdub over live video is brilliant!!
Amazing rad editing. Literally unreal how they got some of those moves synched up with the music. I was actually fooled for the first 30 seconds or so, until I caught the riff not matching Angus.
Minor petty corection. "On Broadway" was originally writen and performed by the Drifers in 1963. George Benson's brilliant cover inadvertently revived it and reinserted it permanently back into popular culture.
Really had me fooled there! I was wondering how I could possibly have missed this cover, and I had to rely on the comments to set me straight! Very nice playing, by the way.
He don't miss a lick...his talent I think, is comparable to that of Hendrix and SRV Mix...and add all that moving around and keeping tempo..Extraordinary to say the least..

"On Broadway" is a song written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil in collaboration with the team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. First released in 1963 as a single performed by The Drifters. George Benson's excellent cover of the song was released in 1978.
Wow, and I thought I was a music nerd?....I kids of course. Thank you for the facts👍🏻. I wonder if this song was actually written in the Brill building right there...on Broadway@50th.?

They will be challenged to their limits, may be taken advantage of by greedy low lifes, and put to the test at every visible and unforeseen obstacle that gets thrown in their way. They may achieve reaching "the glitter", or be beaten down by the pressures and take that Greyhound bus to home. "On Broadway" tells the story with a few simple yet succinct verses. Cementing together the elements that give it greatness are a heavy NYC vibe by way of tension without release, the strength of the composition and arrangement, the killer hook.

They sure did a lot with a little !! I think you've missed the point of their music . They were brilliant, and hard working. They produced a sound that is forever recognizable, and stayed true to their roots !!
DAMN!!! Was I seriously confused by this? Yessir!!! For a while, I didn't realise it was a brilliant mashup. I thought here's the best solo ever by Angus Young, but as MartinLevine718 says below "there's no way he's playing that kind of solos. that's some steely dan guitar playing shit... elliott randall, skunk baxter, larry carlton level stuff". Alors, felicitations a Richard Daude. This is a musical cracker. Fake or not I've got it on "loop" right now...
@@djavidianmx1832 Yes it is, you can look it up where they said they recorded this, just not at this concert. They do play more than just their music and they're great musicians.
A guy I once knew told me that, as a young man, he ran into George Benson with his backing musicians in an elevator (maybe at some kind of music convention) but didn't recognize him. He asked Benson, "Are you in a band?" and Benson replied (with great sarcasm): "Yeah, Van Halen."
Why is this "George Benson's?" It was written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil in collaboration with the team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller and first made popular by The Drifters (1963).
@@davidhorton1109 Listen, Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil are without a doubt one of the greatest songwriting duos in the history of the world. But you ask 100 people who wrote it, 95 will say George Benson, 4 will say someone in the 70s but I don't remember and 1 will answer Mann/Weil and that's of 100 people that actually know the song. Of course I read the second sentence. Neither one of us would even be here if the title was "AC/DC plays Mann/Weil's 'On Broadway'"
whoever made this has some time on their hands and great talent i might add..i was watching his fingers and he even added slides when angus was sliding...crazy...fooled me the first time
It is not...George Benson's "On Broadway". "On Broadway" was written in the early sixties by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil and it was a hit for the Drifters, reaching No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1963. th-cam.com/video/G8P7gzE4HSU/w-d-xo.html
There were also 2 versions released by girl groups before the Drifters' version: th-cam.com/video/jOQ9egPQU9Y/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/gkpeUDbVAlE/w-d-xo.html
So, you played the guitar part? If so, you're pretty damn good AND good at syncing the visual to something similar enough to fool me for a while and I've played for over 40 years. MacAlpine, Vai, Van Halen, all sorts of classic rock. Whoever did it did a good job matching the positions and strumming. But when Angus went out of the pentatonic scale at the beginning I said shit, when did he learn that? hahahhaha But it wasn't so far off that I said BS and the timing was nice so I was like... uh, okay, then the skills went too far and I called bullshit. HAHAHHA
So what we REALLY have hear is some great guitarist who is playing in the Angus Young AND some jazzy benson-esque type style, interweaving them seemlessly as the cool back track plays on. This is basically some cat blowin' with a ANGUS tone and vibe. Not too shabby.

@@dirkdiggler6230 LOL you clearly haven't watched the video :-) They never played the song :-) Next you will be saying they played a Take That tune straight after :-)
Very very nice fake. I mean almost perfect. Initially, I was like wow, Angus is waaay more technical than I thought! but still with some of those trademark runs. But then, when he didn't hit a single bum note and I mean, not a single one, I started to think, wait a minute. Great playing. Thanks man.
I liked it, maybe the mix but it seems to be lacking a bass line, feels hollow but perhaps that was intentional in the mix. Very unexpected and cool nevertheless.
I feel so dumb for not getting this was dubbed. I was like how could I have possibly missed this in all of my years of acdc obsession...I looked for other versions and all that...well, well done sir. Fun nonetheless and I would love to see a transcription or video of you doing this. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS REGARDLESS OF ITS ORIGIN. THANK YOU.
I was smiling all the way to the end thinking what a great rendition; a heavy metal homage to George Benson! It wasn't until I read your comment that my smile became laughter. I still can't figure out how it was done so well.
Completely relatable. He’s so freaky good at mimicking Angus’ attack it had me for minute as I’d not seen his channel before. Then the brilliance set in once realized. I’d love to see Angus’ reaction to watching, I bet he’d appreciate it too! Master level talent at work here.

I'm not sure why this video exists, but I like it! And very impressive whoever it is playing those licks and syncing them up as if it's Angus playing it
I love it and celebrate the wide range of music these guys listen to. Simply fitting for a Blues Band to reach into George Benson's pocket because he is guitar players go too for a classic but not-so-easy chord structure and notation. Interestingly enough George listens to a wide range of classic rock as well. Our pentatonic scale was a gift that back in the day people made fun of. I mean they had to get pat boon to sing little richard songs so decent white folks could allow it in their home. We have come a long way
When great guitarists do covers like this with their own flair, you really begin to appreciate how talented they are. Sometimes just judging them off of their "hits" does not do them justice! Proof is this video!
Didn't want it to end. Angus is one of the best and I love hearing him play another one of my favorites, the great George Benson! He trusted his audience and trusted his band - and they nailed it! EDIT: Just found out that this is a meshup so hats off to Brett or whoever plays it!
This was a great show. The footage doesn’t show it but this song was preceded by their take on “it started with a kiss” and “if I could turn back time.” It rocked!
A.R.F !!! (Amazing Rare Footage !!!) I love this footage and wish there was more. I saw Angus back in 1980 and George B in 1982 when both were at the top of their game. Thanks this is precious footage in my opinion!! 🤙
Bob Schuster thinks it's still 1987 and that it takes days to render videos like this. Or he dropped out of high school and now has to work multiple jobs in order to make an eager living, and his idea of "free time" is a two-hour nap before he begins his next shift.
How fun! (even though this is a doctored video) very GOOD EDITING!!. "On Broadway" was originally performed by the Drifers in 1963. George Benson's cover revived it.

The best solo I ever saw was a ten minutes done by Angus. It had everything, was captivating, interesting, intelligent, fun, cool. He's thoroughly underappreciated and just so effing great. I've seen tons of great guitarists over the last 50 years, but I was amazed. Keep rocking Angus.
me too ;-)
This is fake! This video was ripped from the Stiff Upper Lip live DVD, AC/DC is playing Let There Be Rock here, and you've pasted George Benson's On Broadway here as if AC/DC were playing this. So "extremely rare footage"? No, just fake! Extremely bad and a copyright infringement.
@@vlr2245are you this fun at parties?
I don't think AC/DC knows this many chords.
They sure did a lot with a little !! I think you've missed the point of their music . They were brilliant, and hard working. They produced a sound that is forever recognizable, and stayed true to their roots !!
Lol
@@kcrock2932 nah, I will NOT not never put down AC/DC thank you very much.
Some really great guitar playing there, man! Playful blend of styles and a smooth performance. Keep it up!
DAMN!!! Was I seriously confused by this? Yessir!!! For a while, I didn't realise it was a brilliant mashup. I thought here's the best solo ever by Angus Young, but as MartinLevine718 says below "there's no way he's playing that kind of solos. that's some steely dan guitar playing shit... elliott randall, skunk baxter, larry carlton level stuff". Alors, felicitations a Richard Daude. This is a musical cracker. Fake or not I've got it on "loop" right now...
Angus Young never seems to screw up or miss a note, even when he is running, strutting, or flat on his back. Amazing.
yep, noticed that, too. obviously too good to be true. however...even the rolling stones got caught using playback in the late 90s. ;-)
@@donkeyshot8472 It's not even Angus Young playing the guitar.
@Dr Rock that's a link to a video about a nebulizer
What an awesome take!! Love Geo. Benson, but really love AC/DC's rendition!! Thanks!!
Haha it's edited. But still awesome!
@@djavidianmx1832 Yes it is, you can look it up where they said they recorded this, just not at this concert. They do play more than just their music and they're great musicians.
who did this version.. ..i would like to get the music for this...outstanding job..my computer only goes so loud...not loud enogh
Angus's tasteful phrasing continues to inspire generations of aspiring young jazz musicians.
LOL!!!!
Your joking !
Dude its clearly from the live cut of let there be rock
Bit of chills watching this one
Lolololol he ain't play in that
Respect, to AC/DC, I saw George Benson play this in Montrose in 1990, unreal.
Fake
A guy I once knew told me that, as a young man, he ran into George Benson with his backing musicians in an elevator (maybe at some kind of music convention) but didn't recognize him. He asked Benson, "Are you in a band?" and Benson replied (with great sarcasm): "Yeah, Van Halen."
One great guitarist paying homage to another. Great version of a classic 🎶🎶
Bloody awesome boys … RIP Malcolm - thanks for all you’ve done for Rock n Roll
🎶 🎸⚡️🥁🇦🇺
when I was a kid in the early 80s, all my mates wanted to be Hendrix, Page, Clapton, blah, blah, blah. i wanted to be like Malcolm.
I just love George Bensons cover of highway to hell
Hahahaha
Yeah, he plays a pretty mean Frankenstein too....lol
Amazing stuff. Absolutely briljant. 62 years old and jumping and dancing. Never seen or heard this. Thank you so much for this.👍👌❤

Why is this "George Benson's?" It was written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil in collaboration with the team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller and first made popular by The Drifters (1963).
Uh, because it is man.
@@theScienceLabLive Uh, no it isn't, man. You did read the second sentence, didn't you?
@@davidhorton1109 Listen, Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil are without a doubt one of the greatest songwriting duos in the history of the world. But you ask 100 people who wrote it, 95 will say George Benson, 4 will say someone in the 70s but I don't remember and 1 will answer Mann/Weil and that's of 100 people that actually know the song. Of course I read the second sentence. Neither one of us would even be here if the title was "AC/DC plays Mann/Weil's 'On Broadway'"
This is soooo COOL !!!! They were all the way up in this Benson Classic. Respect !!!😍♥️💃
whoever made this has some time on their hands and great talent i might add..i was watching his fingers and he even added slides when angus was sliding...crazy...fooled me the first time
Pretty startling how well this was done.
Rage Theatre2020 im Cincy too wgrr
These guys really capture that classic Benson sound. 😁
It is not...George Benson's "On Broadway".
"On Broadway" was written in the early sixties by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil and it was a hit for the Drifters, reaching No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1963.

There were also 2 versions released by girl groups before the Drifters' version:

Whoever played guitar nailed it!
At FIRST i thought damn, this is interesting. Then when Angus turned into Brett Garsed, I knew it was fake.
; )
So, you played the guitar part? If so, you're pretty damn good AND good at syncing the visual to something similar enough to fool me for a while and I've played for over 40 years. MacAlpine, Vai, Van Halen, all sorts of classic rock. Whoever did it did a good job matching the positions and strumming. But when Angus went out of the pentatonic scale at the beginning I said shit, when did he learn that? hahahhaha But it wasn't so far off that I said BS and the timing was nice so I was like... uh, okay, then the skills went too far and I called bullshit. HAHAHHA
duh. I see a comment below by you that you played the guitar part. Very nice.
1:16 was the beginning of the end. HAHAHHAHAHA
+TruthSurge Thanks man :-)
the best jazz group from australia. Can't get enough of this "TNT" jazz.
So what we REALLY have hear is some great guitarist who is playing in the Angus Young AND some jazzy benson-esque type style, interweaving them seemlessly as the cool back track plays on. This is basically some cat blowin' with a ANGUS tone and vibe. Not too shabby.
So you think this is not real? Ok
@@rocklee1324 So you think this is real? Lol.
Omfg 😂
Jason Dotson, have you recently suffered a concussion?
Incredible ! Love AC-DC and this version of "Broadway"
it's fake..
This is fake! This video was ripped from the Stiff Upper Lip live DVD, AC/DC is playing Let There Be Rock here, and you've pasted George Benson's On Broadway here as if AC/DC were playing this. So "extremely rare footage"? No, just fake! Extremely bad and a copyright infringement.
It’s rare, it’s so rare it didn’t happen
WOW!!!!! I heard it now for about 12 times.....you are really great!!! Your playing is totally amazing!!!!!
@Lessko Brandon What?? Fake?! I think Angus coult train for another 20 years and he wouldnt play like this guy!!
Proving once again that great music, great chords, great melodies and great harmonies, are universal...
You do know this is video editing it's not what he was playing at all
@@kevob369 The people that claim this is dubbed, overlaid or edited are clueless! Unbelievable! He is playing it, his fingers move exactly to the notes we hear! What's wrong with people, they must be high and Delusional!
@@raulhodge3314 it's fottage from other songs by acdc. No he isn't playing it, video linking is easy, it's even been shown as fake by the guy that made it on Google 😂 😂
Bro it fake watch it it’s Bret Garse. Ac dc is not playing this .
One of favorite songs wasn't sure if AC/DC could pull it off! I was not disappointed this version is smoking hot!
The guy playing is great, and the fact he played his riff to the video makes him even better!
I love this, i wish the boys would play this live that would great
ahhh they just did lol
Come on it’s a fake.
@@ERROL007 its not fake you fool
@@dirkdiggler6230 LOL you clearly haven't watched the video :-) They never played the song :-) Next you will be saying they played a Take That tune straight after :-)
That's a fake, is not them playing "on broadway", is just a sound track on top of an acdc concert, is a montage.
Exactly, the part where he’s not even strumming on the strings-yet the sound keeps playing!! 😱👎🥹😟😛🤪👎❗️❗️
Richard, you are an amazing guitar player. I only wish you completed the whole song!
Merci ! 🤘🎸
Very very nice fake. I mean almost perfect. Initially, I was like wow, Angus is waaay more technical than I thought! but still with some of those trademark runs. But then, when he didn't hit a single bum note and I mean, not a single one, I started to think, wait a minute. Great playing. Thanks man.
I liked it, maybe the mix but it seems to be lacking a bass line, feels hollow but perhaps that was intentional in the mix. Very unexpected and cool nevertheless.
I feel so dumb for not getting this was dubbed. I was like how could I have possibly missed this in all of my years of acdc obsession...I looked for other versions and all that...well, well done sir. Fun nonetheless and I would love to see a transcription or video of you doing this. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS REGARDLESS OF ITS ORIGIN. THANK YOU.
I swear that I thought it was real too...
I was smiling all the way to the end thinking what a great rendition; a heavy metal homage to George Benson! It wasn't until I read your comment that my smile became laughter. I still can't figure out how it was done so well.
Completely relatable. He’s so freaky good at mimicking Angus’ attack it had me for minute as I’d not seen his channel before. Then the brilliance set in once realized. I’d love to see Angus’ reaction to watching, I bet he’d appreciate it too! Master level talent at work here.
It ROCKS harder when AC/DC plays it 🤘🏻😉
How could it not?
👍🇺🇸
But? It’s fake so lol
@@benharrell6168 I know
Of course it does!
God bless Angus!!
🤟AC⚡️DC 🤟
That's some mighty fine "Angus style" guitar playing,.(whoever it is.) It's weird and I like it.
I’m not the biggest AC/DC fan, but this was sick! He’s got that crowd in the palm of his hand.
This is fake! This video was ripped from the Stiff Upper Lip live DVD, AC/DC is playing Let There Be Rock here, and you've pasted George Benson's On Broadway here as if AC/DC were playing this. So "extremely rare footage"? No, just fake! Extremely bad and a copyright infringement.
@@vlr2245the TH-camr plays all this himself and overdubs it-that’s definitely fair use
Damn ! I almost shared it because I was so blown away by Angus's playing .... :D
I was suspicious but the sync was pretty good but the scenes from the back of the neck looked too rigid. LOL
Greg Paradi - Gergely Paradi 😂😂😂
Same hahaha thank god for the comments . I Don’t say that often 😆
He may just be the world's finest living guitarist!
Ah, no.and no.
It’s fake Angus is a beast- Jeff Beck is the best in the world- this vid is fake bro
A genius is someone that does something so unique that there can only be one of them. This is genius!
I'm not sure why this video exists, but I like it! And very impressive whoever it is playing those licks and syncing them up as if it's Angus playing it
thank you very much , I play the guitars : )
A.R.F !!! (Amazing Rare Footage !!!)
Who are you?
Very VERY well I must say...any other vids of you playing?
If ONLY this were Angus Young playing! It would have been awesome! Whoever is actually playing this, is great!
How can you say it isn't it. He was using a lot of hammer on so therefore doesn't need to use his pick.
@@jenk264 In all fairness, the video was out of sync, so they AC-DC could have been playing anything.
I love it and celebrate the wide range of music these guys listen to. Simply fitting for a Blues Band to reach into George Benson's pocket because he is guitar players go too for a classic but not-so-easy chord structure and notation. Interestingly enough George listens to a wide range of classic rock as well. Our pentatonic scale was a gift that back in the day people made fun of. I mean they had to get pat boon to sing little richard songs so decent white folks could allow it in their home. We have come a long way
Thought how have I missed acdc playing this......then realised it was dubbed , , totally had me at first, well done 🤘👍
Best of both worlds. George's groove with Angus' jam and showmanship. Genius.
Angus walks funny. Is he constipated?
I was today years old when I learned this existed 🤯🥳 I wonder How George reacted when he first seen this?
When great guitarists do covers like this with their own flair, you really begin to appreciate how talented they are. Sometimes just judging them off of their "hits" does not do them justice! Proof is this video!
Hahahahah! You gotta check out the AC/DC Stiff Upper Lip live DVD, with the real sound, it's even more bad ass!
Are you putting on the next layer here or did you really not get it?
There's a couple of licks where its almost synched up. Pretty funny.
@@meytecc8601 you mean next layer of the joke, or not realizing its fake?
@@jptwentyfour887 yes
Didn't want it to end. Angus is one of the best and I love hearing him play another one of my favorites, the great George Benson! He trusted his audience and trusted his band - and they nailed it! EDIT: Just found out that this is a meshup so hats off to Brett or whoever plays it!
At first, it almost a "shred" feel to it... Man, he's so good at this !
Thanks ! 🙏🤘🎸🔥
This was a great show. The footage doesn’t show it but this song was preceded by their take on “it started with a kiss” and “if I could turn back time.” It rocked!
😂
Do you belieeeeeve...?!?
I think they also did a version of ...I got u babe...and daydream believer...but that might have been Iron Maiden...I'll have to look it up
Wait, so this wasn't the same show where they did "I Need A Hero" by Bonnie Tyler?
Saw George Benson do this outdoors at Blossom Music center in Ohio in 1977. Minnie Ripperton opened. So great to hear this and it made me smile
Brilliant! You are obviously living on a trust fund and have a LOT of free time to re--score this video. Well done!
glad you enjoy : ) my oil company is doing fine thank you ; )
A.R.F !!! (Amazing Rare Footage !!!) I love this footage and wish there was more. I saw Angus back in 1980 and George B in 1982 when both were at the top of their game. Thanks this is precious footage in my opinion!! 🤙
LOL!!!
Larry Leed you get that this is fake right?
Bob Schuster thinks it's still 1987 and that it takes days to render videos like this. Or he dropped out of high school and now has to work multiple jobs in order to make an eager living, and his idea of "free time" is a two-hour nap before he begins his next shift.
Excellent work. You got us good! If this were April, I’d feel even more foolish…
How fun! (even though this is a doctored video) very GOOD EDITING!!. "On Broadway" was originally performed by the Drifers in 1963. George Benson's cover revived it.
