1) They could be playing live *and* to a track2) Angus and his SG appear to be the same size3) They look like the sort of band that give each other tattoos4) The dancing girls5) They look like they know they're the best band ever *and* that they're getting away with something6) Electric bagpipe7) The almost deliriously motorik denouement 8) Bon never losing sight of that camera9) The triple split screen that still features a double Malcolm in one frame10) Bon's funny bagpipe dance11) Angus is almost never on camera!12) Bon is wearing a shirt

Duckwalking the bagpipe!
Playing to a track but Bon's mic is live imo

It's rather sweet that Angus admits that even he finds "Thunderstruck" tricky to play.

Often when the whole band is miming you can tell with the drums, but Phil seems pretty on the bullseye. I'll have to watch again.

love the sharpies dancing behind Bon - and he is definitely miming those pipes to look like a blowjob

Even the second time?
I was surprised, too. Then again, I was surprised at how well Axl did as a sub, all things considered.
By the way, most underrated aspect of Angus iconography? The way he gulps like a goldfish when he plays.

so this update is responsible for me listening to "it's a long way to the top" for the first time yesterday (!) and going down a mini ac/dc rabbit hole. i never really listened to them, i don't know why. good god they were a band, with albums and songs and stuff. but yeah they completely rule. i'm not a huge rock guy but a few rock bands are just undeniable to me, these guys are probably on the level of like ccr for me i guess.

honestly I was the same with AC/DC. I used to think Bon Scott sounded like a muppet with chlamydia and I hated the so-called "sameiness" of their music, also believed challops like that Brian Johnson era was superior (when really the only thing of his I liked was Back in Black)
Was about 9 years ago I went through their near entire discography and fell in love with the Bon material. it's so raw and purely face-melting.
it's fun to just spin AC/DC album after album until 3 am

My sister was there, in the bouncy balcony. Judging by that photo no women were allowed in the stalls.

a muppet with chlamydia
As if this is a bad thing for the notorious singer of a hard rock band.
My favorite AC/DC story is from both of the times when I saw them on the ... maybe first Ballbreaker and then the Stiff Upper Lip tour? Whenever it was, during probably "The Jack" iirc they had a camera panning the crowd for flash-happy women, but after a couple of flashing women the camera would linger on flashing men, too, and it just alternated from there.

i love the Bon era the bestbut overall with this band I think the joy of relistening as a longtime fan now is that there is a lot of joy in their music, and how the fun IS that it’s not really “about” anything. And lately for me on a musical level, marvelling how the whole rhythm section is *so* locked in, solid as a fucking rock, with these perfect spaces to support Bon’s showmanship, or Angus’s solos, or fuckin bagpipes or whateverit’s a thing of beauty imo

You know how cool AC/DC is? At least one of those times I saw them they *opened* with "You Shook Me All Night Long." What other band could *open* with its biggest hit?
