As a life long fan, this is one of the best pieces on AC/DC I have ever seen. I lived in Sydney and walked through the streets where the Youngs grew up, and was humbled by their beginnings. It needs to be celebrated at the highest level.The greatest band the world has ever seen. The legends that played along side them in the early days showed their greatness in this video.

so you are saying AC/DC blew their mentors away... what kinda drugs are you on Stevie Wright, George and Harry were literally playing. They too were amazing performers.

I saw them in Montreal in 1986. It was the best concert I ever saw and will never forget the pure energy inside the Montreal Forem that night.

One of the best documentaries I've seen about AC/DC in terms of their early days. So glad to finally see, "Can I Sit Next to You Girl?" in a documentary about AC/DC, too. I remember dancing to this at parties when I was about 10. I'm always listening out for this one, and I think it is the first time I've heard it (in a documentary). Usually it's Long Way to the Top (shop, if you want a sausage roll), or their countdown performance of Baby Please Don't Go. So, happy to see 'Sit Next to You?' surface. (and I'm not even an Acca Dacca fan, just appreciate they're fantastic at what they do.)

Wow brings back great memories of an Australia long gone. Having grown up in Burwood and knowing the band was in town, we went and knocked on the Youngs' door to see if they would make an appearance at a dance we were organising (wishful thinking) Angus answered. He politely declined our offer stating contractual issues. He was really cool about it, we chatted for a few minutes, he wished us well and we were on our way. Very approachable and a really nice bloke.

Great doco and, as someone who wears his tinnitus as a badge of courage from too many pub shows, pretty enlightening to how good OZ pub rock was in the 60s, 70s & 80s. Sad that Sydney has turned its back on its history so much. Perth recently closed down the "Highway to Hell"for 10 hours to celebrate Bon Scott and over 150000 people turned out. Give me that anyday to a soulless apartment full of socially distanced people.

This is so accurate. In both 1995 and 1997, the US Navy took me to Sydney for a few weeks and I had a blast. I was stoked on all the EDM I heard on the radio and the people were all awesome and friendly. I spent most of my time bar and club hopping, as you do, and often ended up BSing with locals around my age at the time (19-21). I had so many conversations where I tried completely in vain to explain how important both AC/DC and INXS were to Americans. Nobody cared at all. There was, like, no pride or claim of either band. I was mystified.

The line up that is on the Live at the Bridgeway Htl video that can be found on KZread. Quite a band! I was the young lighting operator with Rob’s PA who ended the tour breaking his thumb on a load in a Paradise Nights club in Mackay. Rejoined the band 3 months later & ended up taking off to Perth with Eddie’s younger sister (although 15 years older than me!) to live there for 11 years. Back in Sydney & still in lighting after 30+ years. You played wicked lead guitar 🎸 m’man👌🏽 Still got a few pics of you & the band. Cheers ya legend😁

@gideonharris1493

Жыл бұрын

Why hold it against them? They didn't delete these people. Why would they bang on in interviews about what happened before they were really known? They have briefly spoken about why they dismissed Dave Evans - he wasn't a good fit and they didn't like that he let them down. The end. In fact Dave is the only one who seems to have a chip on his shoulder. Yes there were a few drummers and bassists but as far as Tony went, he was a session drummer and he turned them down twice. There was no hard feelings. As for Mark Evans there were no bad feelings either. Here's a part of an interview when he spoke about it... "I had a bit of a run-in with Angus. I think I got up in his nose about something maybe, but maybe if I had been a bit more mature and maybe not drank so much, I would be able to handle the situation better.” “So that’s what it was. I think it went deeper than that. And they said, ‘Well, you don’t sing.’ "...but I look back and I’ve just nothing to put but good memories. A lot of love and respect for the band.” So who knows? A CEO of the record company said Mark and Angus had musical differences. It would seriously be hard to piss off Angus though. Mark doesn't seem to be telling all of it. Anyway he's fine. He went on to have great success as part of many bands as a session player and a full time member of Rose Tattoo. So he never whinged. Why do the boys have to talk about members that were fired, or only briefly there in a band when they were barely known then? Mark is the only one who should have a gripe because he was there for 2 years when THEY WERE becoming global and was on their albums and music clips. But he doesn't.

What a beautiful doco.

Although I seen ACDC at least 3 times live with Brian Johnson (and they ALWAYS kicked ass) the Bon Scott years were my favorite and I just could not get enough of that unique head banging style! I was born in 1963 so I was pretty much in time at my age for such a super group and they were such a huge part of my youth and long past that.

Remember seeing them often at the Hurstville Civic centre and the Rivoli. I also saw them play the Grafton Basket ball stadium. Awesome days,

Thank you Dave Evans for getting the sewing machine story about the origin of their name CORRECT!! I saw an interview with Malcolm in the 1980s (1985, I think) saying it was his sister-in-law. Ever since then the story goes that it was there sister Margaret for some reason (probably because she is their sister after all) which is not true. Cheers!

I had no idea AC/DC has gone through as many bass players and drummers as they have. Regardless, they have never failed to deliver. My very exposure the band was when I heard "Its a Long Way to the Top if ya Wanna Rock & Roll" that was given to me on an old beat up cassette recording. I was instantly hooked. and as they say "The rest is history"... R.I.P Bon Scott.

I was a muso myself [vocalist/bassist] in a band that was invited to Sydney by Harry Vander and George Young. Yep, we got to play a Checkers of course, Harry & George came to check us out live, then did some sessions at Alberts. Got to jam with Harry which was great. A lot of great people came from that time. The sound engineer on our sessions was . . . . . Mark Opitz who has a very impressive resume as a producer. Met Dave Evans at the time as well. Yes . . . . great memories.

That's what happened in Adelaide, it changed the whole vibe of the city. I was a punk and metal promoter and had literally every pub in the cbd begging for bands. When the pokies came in, It changed everything overnight. Almost destroyed the live music scene in Adelaide.

@@andchat6241 No...there were no pokies in Sydney pubs until the early 90's (or late 80's). If you wanted to play them you had to go to a licensed club or RSL which was fine. Worst decision the NSW govt ever made....killed the live music scene stone dead.

@@Tazer691 I don't know exactly when they were introduced but I recall going to see bands at different venues & seeing people playing pokies in the corner or against a wall somewhere. As kids we were only interested in the music so didn't pay much attention to them. I think the downfall of live music occurred for a number of reasons not just pokies. The cost of putting on a live show with 2 or 3 bands is pretty high, much easier & cheaper to hire a DJ. Also, these days a lot of people prefer other types of entertainment.

Wow. Well done. That was great; solid research and a story told well. Thank you.

Thanks for posting this exceptional piece, which introduces us to key players and locations in ACDC's history.

Thank you for a great documentary. It was great listening to the original guys chatting about the early days. R.I.P Malcolm.

Nice! I was happy to see and hear from some of the old members like Rob Bailey and Tony Currenti for the first time, and it's always GREAT to hear from Mark Evans! I was not familiar with Noel Taylor, so I learned something new about the band as well! Thanks for posting!

Thanks so much for posting this!

There are only a handful of albums in a lifetime where the second you hear the first tune you know music is about to change. I will always remember hearing "High Voltage" the first time and rushing out to buy the album. This was a great rockumentary thank you for doing it.

Really Great documentary Thanks for posting it R.I.P Malcolm & the BEAST. Your memory & music will always be with us⚡

Tremendous little documentary. Thank you.

tremendous! a word that needs a serious comeback.

Sad at the end, but really informative. I never knew about some of the earlier musicians. Thanks for making this video.

Much respect you you fine gentlemen. AC/DC is a band I discovered in 1984. I listen to them today, 2020. Love the early years the best. RIP Bon Scott. RIP Malcolm Young. A great band who always put 1000% into every show. Thank you again, for this fine documentary.

Great doco. I have respect for ALL members past and present. Fabulous band

I lived in Burwood for years. Didn't know it was where they were from. Loved 'em since I was 7 years old.

This is a great documentary.I would like to see a continuation to this video with more on Bon and how Brian joined the group.

Excellent! I love hearing the backstory on the band. Very well done!

Insightful documentary. Thank you. AC/DC has been my favorite band since I was eleven. I'll be forty five next month.

Thank you Tom for that short doc. Those were the two records that made me want to play the guitar "Let there be rock" and "Dynasty" by KISS.

Thank you! You and your sound brougth sence to my life! You gave the power to me, to live my life. (a fan from Germany age 55)

this is a fantastic short doco... really well put together...

Wow.....I didn't know there was a tiny little bit of Italy in AC DC....great :-)

Fascinating doco. Learnt heaps.

Wow , some great Australian rock history thanks . Wish there was more that was so interesting!

That was a very moving doco about, and from those who most of us wouldn’t have ever known about. Thank You for sharing 😊🙏

Great show! Thanks for doing this!

That has to be the saddest end to a legend. Malcolm the silent genius. R.I.P man and thank you very much.

Great to see the start of AC DC and for the story of the Youngs from Hawick Scotland

This is a really great short documentary about the band and its founding members.

I'm so happy to have stumbled on this today. Cheers!

WOW !!! Never knew AC/DC had a Piasano on Drums.. EXCELLENT 😁🤘

Brilliant short documentary! Great to hear from some of the people involved in those early days. Great vibe, too. Amazing combination of old historic photos vs now. Any plans to do a full-length documentary? This is a great story of how to turn dreams into reality through sheer hard work.

What a great video , I love learning of their beginning . It's a long way to the top of you want to rock n roll !!!

Toni wearing the same Tshirt I seen him in 3 years ago at Kirriemuir . Guy is a legend and one of the nicest blokes you could ever meet.

This is pure gold!✌️

Love Tony’s tee shirt Bonfest Kirriemuir, Scotland Rock n Roll Baby 🤘🏴‍☠️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦠🥊🍺🍺
