@@heftosprod I wonder that to ... if he did the heavy drinking wasn´t before live shows ... maybe 2-3 beers, thats where most actually plays a bit better ...
I was 18 in 79 I played the album to death, I actually learned to play the guitar and managed to sing and play whole lotta Rosie in my own band when I was in my forties It felt so good, thanks guys
nor have i ever witnessed another band lose their lead singer and have another singer join and STILL be the best rock band in the world. both are great in my opinion.
AC/DC was a band known around the world before the release of Highway to Hell. Nobody would have forgotten them. Their work would still have been their own and we would still be listening today.
In 79 Angus, Malcolm, Cliff, Phil, and Bon were about to give the French a fantastic show. Meanwhile, at 3 Years Old, I had no idea who AC⚡️DC were, but, I would...12 Years later. From there I would become a Fan, and stay one up to today ❤️
@@crystalandis2185 Gene Simmons isn't even the best frontman in Kiss. That would by Paul Stanley. Gene is a sluggish low energy man that just stands there, bobs his head and sticks out his tongue. Paul, on the other hand, has a higher energy level and actually moves around a lot on stage.
This Show was absolutely awesome.It was the first Show of my Life i have seen from AC/DC.Bons Voice ist absolute in his own Universe.And Malcolm?What can i say?One of the best Rhythm Guitar Players of all Times.I missed this pure Sound so much.AC/DC is the greatest Rockband ever.
Bon was my faverate all-time front man. Style and attitude and humble as well. Good guys acdc allways have been down to earth and approachable in public.
"Let There Be Rock" is my all time favorite concert footage movie. The band kills it and Angus's frenetic energy is absolutely mesmerizing. And with all due respect to Brian Johnson, I've always been more of a Bon Scott guy.

@@afistfulofpimples1745bro this live concert was extra special because this was bons last tour with them before he died, so yes I do agree that this is one of the greatest ones ever!
Only the early AC/DC - 1975-1979 - counts: Raw and true BLUES POWER - Malcom, Angus and Bon were so natural and simply nice persons. Just wonderful - The 70s, the last great decade...if i only could turn back time.....
I've noticed just about every dept. store sells AC/DC T-shirts. Here you see a Malcolm throwing on a simple black T. Made me think of that. They are still a very popular band and always will be!

Remember seeing this complete film in the theater when I was in HS. As a burgeoning guitar player, I was totally in awe of Angus, and still am decades later. I was thought it was so cool that he's sipping his tea and doing tuning harmonics one-handed.
Millions of people say that concert in Paris in 1979 was their best ever. Just go and have a look at LIVEWIRE at that concert on TH-cam, most powerful intro I have ever witnessed.
0:34: If you listen closely, you can hear Angus warming up with the Thunderstruck riff, 12 years before it was released. He had always used it as a warm up exercise before concerts. 🤘
Seen this tour in Charlotte no , Bon carries Angus around the whole arena flood on his shoulders , right by where I was at. I of my favorite concerts. Dear God those days were the best

The greatest intro to one of the greatest docs of all time. Just waking up more or less, tuning their Gretsch Super Jet and late model SG on one of the first Peterson guitar tuners, as if they are going to work. One of my favorite scenes of all time. Seeing this film in a theater blew my mind.

If you have (or can get) the 'Bonfire' box set, you can hear that piece in its entirety. It was a sound check that Angus was doing prior to the first show.
Omg i was 10 years old arggg. what amazes me is that these little guys here and they have such an amazing talent that nobody can touch what they can do what's amazing to me little napoleons they're amazing
George is way overlooked in AC/DC’s history! Without him and Harry Vanda they would never have gotten to their full potential. RIP George and Malcolm Young.
@@NoName-ds5uq George , not Vanda. George was the genius , and steered the boys clear of the traps and pitfalls that The Easybeats had already encountered. Encouraged them to NEVER take any notice of what 'corporates' wanted , and to always stay on their own path. No bigger fan than George.
If you listen closely @0:46 you can hear Angus playing a warm-up exercise that sounds like Thunderstruck (which they later confirmed was based on an exercise)!
The Young brothers. Just watching them together tuning up is very sweet. They truly loved each other.
The truest, purest rock & roll. Everything you need, nothing you don’t.
Only a good guitar and a good amplifier. No pedals. Only talent

My first concert,
KISS with AC/DC
December 12,1977
3 days before my 13th.
birthday!
First song was let there be rock!!!
Saw them open for UFO in 1979 at the Springfield, Illinois Armory. Dude climbing on speaker wall. A roadie climbs out beside him, grabs his head, smashes it against the speakers three times then tosses him back and off.
You lucky prick!!!
9 September 1979

I was at the same one with kiss and AC/DC 1979 is was in Memphis!

ABSOLUTELY totally agree @Leyland .
Without a doubt this gig shows em how it's done.
Just pure talent , and energy.
No band has ever come close.
Thank God someone documented this!
No. Thank the chap that filmed it. No gods.
I wish there were more of these backstage clips! The calm before the storm
This is a whole movie/ documentary. I remember watching it years ago and it's way longer than this. The title is Let There Be Rock
Best era of acdc in my opinion. When cliff joined they had all the pieces. Powerage and HTH are perfect albums
37 years after I first fell head over heels, I’m still in love with Angus (lucky my husband is an understanding fellow) 💕
He's just so darn cute! And so is Malcolm.
I never understood how Malcolm could drink so much and still stay in rhythm. Amazing.

I got that too
More than likely that tune originated from his warm-up technique of hammer ons and pull offs.
I was like - is he playing thunderstruck within the first minute of the video? couldn't hear it but could see it.
i dont hear it at all lmao
That's just a part of the solo he played after the ending of Let There Be Rock, live. It's even in the movie. Slightly similar. But no Thunderstruck.

I've still got loads of family and some friends in Perth. Would love to come over 1 day. I'm assuming they have a ACDC museum.
I watched this SO many years ago & they are so sweet
god I love this band...
Grew up with ac/dc awesome band it took a long time to get over losing Bon Scott and now Malcolm aswell rock on guys
I always wished this part was longer...
Had this on vhs in the 80s ..still the best live rock video there is ..followed closely by Donington 91
0:52 the way Malcolm walks into the room hahaha he seemed to nice and quite and cool
Wow thanks for sharing this, this is awesome stuff.
that beginning by angus is the coolest sound EVER!!!
If you have (or can get) the 'Bonfire' box set, you can hear that piece in its entirety. It was a sound check that Angus was doing prior to the first show.
Sem graça
Omg i was 10 years old arggg. what amazes me is that these little guys here and they have such an amazing talent that nobody can touch what they can do what's amazing to me little napoleons they're amazing
What a great time in rock music ... thanks George , Mal and Bon - RIP
🏴🎸⚡️🎤🇦🇺
George?
George is way overlooked in AC/DC’s history! Without him and Harry Vanda they would never have gotten to their full potential. RIP George and Malcolm Young.
@@NoName-ds5uq George , not Vanda.
George was the genius , and steered the boys clear of the traps and pitfalls that The Easybeats had already encountered.
Encouraged them to NEVER take any notice of what 'corporates' wanted , and to always stay on their own path.
No bigger fan than George.
Bon Scott. Looked like your local mechanic. Rocked the world like a God.
Mal drinking beer.
Angus drinking either tea, or chocolate milk.
So funny and so true
He got sober after bons death
@@BluesManSteele
Way after,, during Brians reign.
Check out YiuTube interviews,, Malcolm quits drinking.
Very heart warming what Brian had to say.
Although a heavy smoker, he is teetotal and has been all his life

That was Angus, not Mal.
So frickin awesome, thanks so much...
A bunch of real nice, down to earth guys, who just happen to be musical superstars.
Beautiful video!!
If you listen closely @0:46 you can hear Angus playing a warm-up exercise that sounds like Thunderstruck (which they later confirmed was based on an exercise)!
It was also in the guitar solo in the grand finale.
More! More! More!! I could watch back stage videos all day (and night!)
I mean I love it that Mal is having bother with those taps lol
They will go down in as one of top bands in rock and roll history
A bunch of great guys!!!
It don't get more rock n roll than this
