You are indeed correct. This however had only become a more popular opinion in the last 1O yrs. By around 2065 I expect it to be hailed in top 5 AC/DC albums of all time.

I was 30 years old when this was recorded, im now 66 years old. Man how time flies when you're having fun huh! Still listening to AC/DC and always will til I'm 100 if i should be so lucky. One of my favorite bands ever. RIP Malcolm. What a great rhythm guitarist. I know they must miss him much as well as their first singer whose name seems to skip me at this moment ( forgive me for that guys, i should be ashamed of myself but with my age and all the smoke---ha ha ). Wow these guys look so young here. Oh to be young again.

Seeing them this young reminds me that in early days my friends and I hadn’t accepted Brian yet. To us he was the guy trying to replace Bon but we bought our tickets for the Hells Bells tour .They played 3 nights in Seattle and my brother and I were there for all three. They opened with Hells Bells and had a replica Liberty Bell on stage that Brian would hit with a sledge hammer during the intro. The first swing came back and hit Brian in the head but he didn’t miss a beat. That and his performance won us over that night

Couple corrections to my earlier comment. I said the sledgehammer rebounded and hit Brian in the head at the start of their first show in Seattle 1982. I knew that sounded wrong and it was. I just remembered it hit him in the left shoulder area. Also, I called it the Hells Bells tour and of course it was called the Back in Black tour

Cool. I believe a Jimmy Reed tune. Pretty damn cool. Brian Johnson is even animated during rehearsals! I always love how my favorite musicians are so connected with each other. Angus Young said in one of his interviews that one of the albums that impressed him the most was Second Winter because of the variety in the music. I heard this blues song done by the electric Freddy King, and my favorite guitarist the blistering fast Johnny Winter. This version done by AC/DC is quite the lovely treat for the ears. My favorite albums from them are Let their Be Rock, Powerage and The Razors Edge. But anyone remember Black Ice? Really that's the most variety I ever heard in an AC/DC album. I swear I heard a little slide guitar in that album. True bluesy Rock n roll! Thankyou for this video 🎸🎸🎵
