Let there be Rock.

Old school AC/DC - great track, and even better video (even though the song is dubbed over for the church scenes - but from a historical standpoint it's gold). Is it just me, or does the youthful Angus Young in this video look like John Mayer on meth? Raw talent, how good he was back THEN. Young kid, but worked the axe like no ones business. Timeless riffs, will NEVER get old. I miss Bon Scott, look how alive he is and how much fun he was having.

Excellent video. They all look so young. Gotta love that shirt that Bon Scott is wearing later in the video. Looks like something Borat would wear!

Good stuff !! Thanks for sharing. I had the pleasure to see them live three times. This was always a staple of the show which included Angus riding the shoulders of Bon Scott or Brian Williams through the crowd. I'd like to know if Angus ever had the discs in his neck replaced ??? It would seem that it would have taken its toll after all the years of touring. Recently, I found DVD copies of Live at Castle Donnington and Family Jewels at a local used media outlet (5 bucks apiece). I watched the Castle Donnington show with my son who is 17 and he could not believe what a wildman Angus is on stage. I told him that Angus is like that pretty much everytime he plays. Haven't watched the Family Jewels DVD yet. Maybe I'll need to bust that out today. Cheers. :cool:

I've seen them 4 or 5 times, starting in 85....Fly on the Wall. Let There Be Rock is probably the best AC/DC album (yes, I think it's better than BIB)...although, Powerage is right there too. All the Bon Scott albums were amazing.

Great find with that video. I love the original AC/DC.

I saw them when I was 13, a couple of years before Bon Scott's death, he was a mess onstage.

I ENJOYED that! Thanks!

It always amazed me how basic the riffs were and how raw their sound could be, yet they were soooo good!

BIB was simply the next evolution that occurred out of necessity. Brian Johnson helped the rest of the band continue on in a very respectable iteration from original lineup, IMO.

AC/DC doesn't seem to get quite the credit they deserve, yet their influence on future acts is readily apparent. One of my concert-going highlights of the 80s was slapping hands with Angus as Brian Johnson walked between the first few rows with him on his shoulders (Blow Up Your Video Tour, 1988). I do wish that I'd also seen the original lineup at some time.

Unfortunately, the concert film, "Let There Be Rock", which I was lucky enough to see in h.s., is still NOT available on dvd. VHS only!
BE WARNED:
If you get a dvd with this title, and Brian on the cover, you got ripped off.

The original film is missing or stolen this is why it has never been released. I too saw this movie a few times in H.S. and yes anyone selling this is ripping you off..:mad:
