What I always liked about AC/DC is that they look and act like regular guys. They never put on airs and acted like rock stars per se. They seem like guys you could have a beer with down at the local pub. But then when they hit the stage they rocked harder than anybody else!

Turned out to be the greatest rock gig ever captured on film. No frills . No egos. No massive spectacular stage or light show. Just simple dirty back bar room Australian rock and roll . At it's very finest. By 5 young blokes born to find each other.
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 ❤️
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.
"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.
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. 🤘
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!
Mal used to say that's why he never wanted to play lead - he'd have to pull up his drinking ! I don't think there is a more amazing player , ever. And his brother just happens to be , truly, the most recognizable musician on the planet ! ! I hate that we will never hear another Mal inspired riff. Cheers to THE greatest right hand ever in the business . Love and miss you mate 🖤
@@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 'member watchin' this on my VHS edition of "let there be rock"! that'll take ya back. perhaps you or someone else will show the world the other candid moments of said movie. i.e. malcom playin' soccer the best he could. bon nearly fallin' off the hood of a porsche driven by phil. cliff racin' said porsche in a bi-plane. and, lest we forget.... bon "walking" on a frozen pond. legends!
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)!
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
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.
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.....
Musicians sure have changed over the decades. Music has too: some for the good, a lot for the bad. For instance, I love a lot of the new technology going into instruments and gear, but some of it is a tad overboard. Sometimes a good tube and analog sound just beats the doors off everything. Raw.
No matter whom says this and that about the greatest singer & frontman ,the guy in this video happens to be that person . He was the greatest and always will be the greatest ever. Hats off to Brian Johnson for taking his place but Brian could never be Bon ,he is Brian and No one ever can be Bon - because he is the greatest of them.all.

Yes precisely, up for a laugh !
Back in those days 95% of All Aussie rock bands where down to earth bands.
Yes
That’s it back in the day that’s how bands were here in Australia the best times!
D RolyPolyMan That's their Australian way 👌
RIP Bon Scott & Malcolm Young.

The truest, purest rock & roll. Everything you need, nothing you don’t.
Only a good guitar and a good amplifier. No pedals. Only talent
Well put, there lad !
Mixolydian, baby. YEAH!
Bon would be 73 years old these days 😭
If only he wouldn't have drank himself to death
He is still in our hearts !
@@mmmmm_monke55 he probably didnt. Its not completely fact what really happened. There are conflicting stories js

Who else thought it was badass when Malcolm snapped for a shirt and the guy just tossed one to him?!?!
Saw them at Victoria Apollo in London on this tour. My ears are still ringing.
Ruby Tuesday would have loved to see em then
You might need to get that checked out at this point 😂😂...
You my friend, have been Thunderstruck! 🤣
I saw them London Victoria Palace in '76.
LUCKY
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
I still can't believe Malcolm is gone . Rip brother, see you on the other side.
Yep, I just realized the magnitude of the loss.
Yep, the best rhythm guitarist in rock. No way they should carry on without him. Just like there's no Led Zeppelin without Bonham.
@@rickleblanc8900 LZ tried to carry on without John, but they heavily failed. AC/DC however, carried on without Bon and heavily succeeded like never before. So why not try again? Two different beasts, different goals.
@@arthurvin2937 ...Without Mal, there is no AC/DC. He was the heart
No other side.
0:41, listen closely and you can hear Thunderstruck more than 12 years before it was recorded. The riff is a warm up routine.
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.
Turned out to be the greatest rock gig ever captured on film.
No frills . No egos. No massive spectacular stage or light show.
Just simple dirty back bar room Australian rock and roll . At it's very finest.
By 5 young blokes born to find each other.
And the film?
Totally agree. They were/are the Best forever!
If I'm not mistaken the opening act was Judas Priest. Just a small added bonus lol
Right on
«its».
Angus getting ready for the show is the calm before the storm :-)
For those about to rock, we salute you!
For dirty thoughts and dirty minds, we contribute you! x
Best guitar duo, ever.
Nah. Brad Gillis and Jeff Watson😂😂😂😂
Mmm, I 'd say Perry and Whitford
Glenn Tipton and K.K.Downing
Smith and Murray!! But I'll also go with Downing and Tipton.
Lennon and Harrison?
Even when Angus and Malcolm are tuning their guitars, they still sound good.
Omg the childhood memories of watching this on VHS. Specifically this intro is epic. And the concert is a masterpiece. Truly amazing show

3:26 Phil Rudd just strolling through like the badass he is.
“Can we also get a shot of you coming out of the trailer?”
Phil: “No.”
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
You’re the same age as me, I loved the old days music just isn’t the same now.
@@mrjw6701 there is no longer music just egos. If you want music you got to go pre 94. Rip rock and roll 1955 to 1995.
I loved AC/DC in the old days with Bon Scott. No ill will toward Brian Johnson, but Bon Scott was the voice.
Yup
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.

It’s not Brian’s fault that the Bon died.They went on for years with Brian After.
@@alfching2499 where does he say that it's Brian's fault ? He's just saying he prefers bon !
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.
🤘
That’s because it’s a instrument warm up. with the exception of some instruments you have to use.
His older Brother George showed him that riff. It was an exercise routine George used to play before shows.
You've got to love Malcolm..
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!
I never understood how Malcolm could drink so much and still stay in rhythm. Amazing.
Mal used to say that's why he never wanted to play lead - he'd have to pull up his drinking !
I don't think there is a more amazing player , ever.
And his brother just happens to be , truly, the most recognizable musician on the planet ! !

But did he?
@@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 ...
@@bizzariebibbi He looked pretty drunk to me coming out of the bathroom right before the show. Maybe just a miss step, but he looked a little drunk.

I got that vhs tape too really cool
Yup the Porsche and plane scene. Walk over You
Acdc is the true rock and roll band in and out of stage.
yah n theyre so little its cuete.
baby face Angus. Best band EVER!!! 🤘
Most energizing music man has ever created,.... or ever WILL!!
Probably the best soundboard recording of any live video.
R.I.P Bon and Malcolm
That's how you change for a show, posers take note
I think you missed the obvious codpiece in bons Jean's there poser
Things don't need to be complicated to be awsome
I remember I had this on VHS and the last time I saw the tape it was laying amongst junk in a footwell in a mate's Citroen BX. Life sucks!
Posing with a scarf for pictures? 🤣
What are you doing here, dude? Tus videos son lo mejor
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.
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
@@DannyBoi2112
That was Angus, not Mal.
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
0:52 the way Malcolm walks into the room hahaha he seemed to nice and quite and cool
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
I love how Angus always dresses formally
RIP Malcom and Bon. We miss you both!
The power of 2 brothers that changed the shape of the world......unbelievable
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 always wished this part was longer...
I mean I love it that Mal is having bother with those taps lol
1 year before I graduated high school. Wow, I'm getting old 🧓
Same year I graduated high school. Wow...I AM old ..LOL
I was born in 79
22 years before I was born
It don't get more rock n roll than this
Malcolm Young, The Riff Machine behind AC/DC 🎶🎵🎶
This is extracted from Let There Be Rock .. a must have video / documentary about the 1979 Paris concert.
I was 6 in 79 and AC/DC was my world. This is awesome!
Bon was very short on time when this was filmed, unfortunately.
I agree. He should have left sooner.
@Happiness is not liveable Go away
@@afistfulofpimples1745 fk u
My fav AC DC video. Mal is awesome
This was tremendous. Really love AC/DC and UFO for the partying road-dogs and the larger than life personas that they were.
priceless. the days pass by and then you are not. that's just the way it is.
All of them walked out of the trailer door for the camera except for Phil who was just like “no” lol
I love these guys! So down to earth and just making things happen. Awesome.
More! More! More!! I could watch back stage videos all day (and night!)
Impossible tô forget this show in paris, It was wonderful.
They will go down in as one of top bands in rock and roll history
god I love this band...
I turned 1 in 1979 , RIP BON & MAL
This whole intro scene is my childhood. Love this vhs
Ok my god the look so....young! Miss you Bon and Malcolm!!
These were the best AC DC
Bon Scott
Rest in peace Bon Scott and Malcolm Young!
Bon was such a goofball 🤩
I remember those old tuners man I miss the old days
A bunch of great guys!!!
That was great footage-Thanks for showing it🎸🎼
Malcolm Young was some kind of genius.
Bingley hall Stafford late 79 I think, awesome gig, still remember. Bon Scott one of the greatest ever frontmen
Bon was like a Cornell irreplaceable
Wow thanks for sharing this, this is awesome stuff.
Bon and malc will be havin a ball up there along with some other hard drinking loud playing legends .. I miss old ac/dc
Ignorant comment. To heaven. Or hell though "highway to hell" was a great song. Funny Christians like acdc.
Bon Scott’s AC/DC really does it for me!
1:40 cheers Malcolm 🍻🤝⚡️

Over 40 years ago... there goes our youth!
They gotta be like the coolest dudes ever, anyone ever met them.
I love seeing the band just be themselves.
2:15 "That's why I run around"
I was laughing my ass of when I heard angus say that
'You learn to dodge em'
Wow. So young. I was only 6 yrs old then. One of the greatest rock bands.
Saw them in Maryland , winter of 79, a count months later Bon passed away, rip.
Surprised that Bon Scott had such a joyful personality.
Why? He was a very Bright guy
AC/DC was the gateway rock band for me that got me into harder stuff like Black Sabbath as a kid. 🎸. I was only 10 years old.
Take a look at you dictionary: Coolness = ACDC
Rip Bon Scott e Malcolm Young forever 🙏🤘
The best AC DC and Bon Scott🎙️🎙️🎤🎤🥇
NOBODY can replaced Bon Scott...ever !!!
Cliff was one fine looking man I must say and BON omg love all of them!
Who said they were?
jett bye assuming I'm male I see well I'm female duh

I think about Malcolm every day
This is the same concert in Paris where they opened with,'' Livewire'', most powerful live Rock track I have ever witnessed.
Aaahh... to be young and seemingly invincible. But remember, we are all tragedies in the end. Rock on into eternity Scott and Young.
Le meilleur live de 1979 43 ans après j'écoute toujours
I love the backstage stuff😁 Getting into the minds of the masters. I saw a video of Ozzy backstage warming up his voice and ai loved it!!
02:54 Bon is my reminder why I could never grow my hair out.
T-shirt and a tie, that's class, done it myself.
Bon Scott was so cool! One of a kind...
AC/DC AWESOME moment. 🙂 💫 👍 Rock on! 🤘 ⚡ 🎸
When Bon was gone ACDC.WAS NEVER THE SAME NO OFFENCE TO BRIAN
Potus 2020 you gotta think of it as 2 different bands almost. Both are great but very different
@@kadenkilker6201 Indeed. They adoptd to fit with Brian's voice. And IMO they did a excellent job. Both Eras of the band are great.
Really? No shit!
Manchester Apollo on a Monday night , def leppard were the support band . And this fella was a showman and boy could he sing .
These guys were always takin the piss out of everything and everyone! Scottish blokes!
I'm so glad I grew up during the era of rock n roll.
