@@arielcardozo6907It seems you have fans who are strictly Bon Scott, those who are strictly Brian Johnson and those who fall somewhere in between. It's a hot button debate for AC/DC fans. I'm a Bon Scott fan. Six powerhouse rock albums in just five years with Bon Scott. He cemented the sound of AC/DC for a lot of fans. Original lead singers of a popular band can never really be replicated. Kind of like Van Halen. As great of a rock singer as Brian Johnson is, I always felt his voice was kind of strained to replicate the original sound of AC/DC with Bon Scott. The "Back in Black" album is undeniable and set a new path for more great rock, by a great rock band. But for some of us purists, it'll always be Bon Scott.

I saw them in 1979 in San Antonio 5 months before Bon Died. A friend called me about two hours before the show, said he had a ticket for me but the seats sucked. When we got in the arena I found out we were sitting first row center section. As in this video the barricade was very close to the stage. Bon walked out with a cowboy hat on and had a big grin on his face. Angus had blood on his knees from sliding across the stage. Out of all the bands of that era I saw that show sticks with me the most. Set list for that tour. "Live Wire" "Shot Down in Flames" "Walk All Over You" "Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be" "Sin City" "Problem Child" "Bad Boy Boogie" "The Jack" "Highway to Hell" "High Voltage" "Whole Lotta Rosie" "Rocker" Encore "If You Want Blood You've Got It" "Let There Be Rock"

The combination of Angus and Bon is unmatched, so striking and captivating. Bon with those animated expressions on his face, looking right into the camera, the charisma, you can almost read his mind, he really knew how to connect with the audience. Then you have Angus strutting around frenetically without missing a note or beat, seemingly deranged or possessed by the music. Then add the rock solid foundation holding it all down- Malcolm, such a great rhythm player with great tone. The calm, steady foil to Angus and the tight team of Cliff WIlliams on bass and Phil Rudd on drums, pounding it out so solidly. So raw, no in ear monitors or fish tanks around the drums, old school all the way, how I wish more bands would play today. This is pure gold!!!🤘

They were standing in line and was listening to the band playing and they were kicking ass and he was like man who the hell is that. They literally got out of the line went to sit down and it was AC/DC opening up and they were kicking so much ass that people were literally leaving the lines going back to their seats to watch the band. And he said, during one of the songs that Bon Scott put Angus on his shoulders, and started walking through the crowd, while Angus was still playing. After that, they were huge fans, and they turned me onto him. I was probably 11 years old. And I’ve seen them quite a few times. Rest in peace Bon as well as Malcolm and if I’m blessed, maybe I’ll get to meet y’all guys on the other side. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

doesnt get any better than that,,,,!!!!

Bon owned that stage and that crowd...at every show

They had EVERYTHING. Mesmerizing singer, consumate showboat lead guitar, powerful rhythm section. Perfect rock band

High Voltage, T.N.T., Touch too much, Dirty Deeds, Riff Raff, Sin City, Bad Boy Boogie .... never has a band suited their song titles and lyrics better than Bon, Angus, Mal, Phil and Cliff. This is 100% PURE energy that just goes straight into every fibre of your body to fully absorb you in Rock'n'roll! Every one of Mal's riffs, no, every single chord played reall is just exploding in your face. Listening to this and watching the guys perform in their prime is quite literally a phyiscal experience more than anything. There absolutely cannot be any debate that AC/DC 1974-1980 was and still is the best rock band in the world. I adore the Stones, love The Who, admire Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple or Black Sabbath, love Status Quo, Van Halen, Metallica, Maiden, Priest and whathaveyou all the same... I dig Britpop (which IMHO was mainly rock, too, just with a couple of more pop-like or danceable underlying beats, admire the rawness of Punk and the sophistication and athmosphere of NewWave, Indie and Alternative. Hell, I even dig quite a bit of Rap, HipHop and Electronic stuff to go on - but the world has yet to show me a band that carries more energy and involvement in both their songs and their performances than the mighty 1970s Accadacca!

Bon was the greatest frontman the world has ever seen . I saw them in 79 - highway to hell tour just before we lost him . Life changing for a 13 year old to see him - and then all - in their finest hour . Dc died when Bon died

Just happy i lived through the best years of this band.

The band at it's absolute peak. Doesn't get any better than that.

Excellent. More Bon Scott and AC/DC 🤘🏻

There isnt any more

I wish AC/DC had done the Midnight Special more. That's the only song they did on it.

At this point in their career they were still a little under the radar. They didn't really get major mainstream notoriety until Highway to Hell a couple years later.

I believe they played Riff Raff as well but it wasn't telecast and there is no footage of it

A classic. Those folks in front sure were lucky to be that close to true rock gods.

The beauty of this ...AC/DC in their prime and and in your face....and, not one F..KING cell phone......

#1 Rock Band Of All Time..no others can compare!

Good up until 1980 and that’s it loads better bands than them and I was a AC/DC fanatic in the early 80s but fucked them off after Fly on the Wall.

The perfect combination of gravel ,raunch and power for a lead singer of a rock band .Can’t think of any better.

I have never heard a voice like this. Like from another world. It’s insane.

I wish I were alive back in the 70’s. Oh, wait a minute I’m 60 years old, I was. It was God damn awesome!

This was my very first time I ever seen AC/DC when I was 15 years old in 1979. I tuned into the show because Journey, who I was a big fan of, was going to be on it. AC/DC comes on and I almost turned it off because I thought they were a crappy punk band. Thankfully, I kept it on because by the end of the song, I forgot all about Journey and AC/DC was the band I have become a fan of right there and then and have been ever since. What a timeless performance.

..with this..the party has started !.. :)
