AC/DC - LIVE Colchester, England, October 28, 1978 Full concert (4K AI upscaled pro-shot) 

johnson is a gasping wheezing unintelligble fake

@@johnbootland1675 I disagree!

Bon was the BOSS 🔥

Solid assessment. Bon Scott was more of a magnet to women… Brian Johnson, more blue collar and brawny; a man’s man. Nod goes to Bon based on body of work.

Very agree. They both are excellent front men. It isn’t zero sum. You can like both.

Bon Scott, ozzy, nuff said😊born in 68' i was actually at Woodstock only problem is, neither Bon nor OZ played at that particular event...not to mention I was only 1 year old!!!! Lol, Bon had it all but you get what we have here. While Brian did a heck of a job, there was just 1 True front man of ACDC however Angus might have something to say about that!!!😮 peace out

@redoz9768 I'll give a big A-Men to that Brother!

These small shows are the best. I hope they look back and realize how lucky they were

Wow..I saw them as a college kid at a similarly small club called the Agora Ballroom in Atlanta. That stop was probably part of this 1978 tour Pete Drummond was refering to just before he was cut off at the beginning of "Problem Child". LOL!! The energy and intensity was equally ferocious. They were a hungry and tight rock n roll group.

Yeah, AC/DC certainly rocked the shit out of that place!

I'm an old guy ... 71 years old. In the 1970's I was doing 3 or 4 gigs a week ... this is exactly what they were like.

You lucky lucky man. Can you hear anything yet ? 😂

Damn you’re old

easy to say; hard to prove....

Eric, I've been wanting to see a comment from someone that was there that night. Thanks, for sharing.

​@user-se5ui9hy6b just ask your mom, she was there too.

Even from any AC/DC concert today!

You're giving the Modern Industry Toooo×2 much credit with those odds.....lol

Damn right MF.

Goddamn my taste was killer at 14..still fuckin rocks as hard as ever,if not harder..not in a Pantera kinda way,but a uniquely acdc one..Angus was my 1st guitar hero..could not air guitar for years w out doing the Angus shuffle. He's funnier then I remember..saw them in the movie theater w let it rock..Marshall stacks at the front..was kinda better than a concert,as you can't get that close..lest you were there live in the late 70s

i was thinking... this is priceless

100% agree!

❤❤❤❤❤

I had a similar experience when I saw them in Dallas - must have been the same tour as ACDC was the "warm up" band for Aerosmith. When they finished their set, it was almost a let-down when Aerosmith came on.

PowerRage is. Killer

Hey man,awsome story,I felt like I was experiencing it w you..that's so funny about the all knowing grin Bon had before it started..as I watched this footage..I remember thinking..wow,I thought I remembered not really caring for riff raff, I know I heard the studio, I was like 12,back in black just dropped, my dad worked for Warner Electra Atlantic at the time,so getting records and shit was easy.. as well as tickets and backstage passes..but I was too young to be able to take advantage..coolest was going backstage to the eagles in 83..anyhow..when I saw this footage,it was like rediscovering acdc..when I thought I knew the very best of,inside and out..I hear riff raff,sin city,kick in the teeth..(damn,that song rocks) and down-payment blues..just dope song after sick ass song..for years as a kid I'd air guitar w all angus's mannerisms..watching this brought back obscure memories like the acdc movie..let there be rock..I think..it was at the theater,reg movies but they had Marshall stacks at the front..it wound up being pretty close to a concert ,never experienced anything like it with another band..your experience w acdc,was like mine w bon Jovi opening for Ratt..they were unknowns yet,and they kinda stole the show too. I had no idea just how damn good they were w bon in the early years..they were truly at their peak,even though some more monster records were a brewing..the tragedy is that bon dying on a winters night, really drunk,placed in,or he chose to go in a car and sleep it off..only to succumb to alcohol poisoning and I'm sure the cold didn't help..but it was a less than glorious way to go out..what a shame!! His brother had recently done an interview somewhere on you tube, his one and only to answer a few questions definitively about Bon.

I just realized Bon has a bauble earring... well lets face it it's gold... and if it's 22k even 17k it might be near an ounce.... WHILE HEAD BANGING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even a half an ounce.... OUCH!

​@@rodneym7246I also went to the theater to see Let There Be Rock The Movie. I was 10 and been a fan ever since. Fuck it was loud!

Well, when i put the video on 2160p, even the drummer is lip syncing.

As you comment on your smartphone

Why would there be a smartphone? This was recorded in the 70s.

And no distortion pedal 🎼🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Notta I dynamic duo comes close to Bonn and Angus

Ryan Herbert - So agree. I've listened to a fair and reasonable amount of live recordings from AccaDacca and the only gig that I reckon comes anywhere near this is their 1979 Let There Be Rock: The Movie - Live in Paris. The album was recorded live on 9 December 1979 at the Pavillon de Paris in Paris, France, during their Highway to Hell World Tour. Also of note is their 'Bonfire' 5 Disc Boxset. It's awesome and also contains the previously mentioned live gig in Paris '79. Also Disc 1 of 'Family Jewels' [DVD] is pretty good too as it contains songs from '75 through to '80 when Bon was in charge. I have always preferred Bon to Brian, but that's taking nothing away from Brian as he was a superb vocalist with the group too.

Agree 100%...I saw a wild, raw band at S.A.I.T in '86 or '87...fantastic show...turned out to be Tragically Hip...sellin their first CD at the door

@@67telecaster67 Sweet comment bro. You know I've just rocked the clock round to 58 [I'm a Scorpio - so I don't deal in half-heartedness...or whether the glass is half empty or full...it's all 'bout excess and lots of it - which was why I had my near-death motorcycle accident here in New Zealand in '90 when I was 26, cost me my entire left leg as high up as hip and pelvis amputated too...v fortunate to survive that wee fall from non-gracefullness tell ya] and a mate asked me the other week if I'd ever heard of 'Tragically Hip'...and if so what did I think of them...well I have/hadn't actually and he gave me a url to hit on RU-vid to listen to them. Yep liked them instantly. Smart Canadian outfit. Great lyrics. Need to listen to a lot more though. Most groups/bands over here in New Zealand during the '80s were er...a little on the 'tame' side for me if you get my drift. I always preferred listening to Australian rock groups instead as they had tended to 'live a wee bit more and definitely 'harder' - and I guess by what I mean by 'harder' is...well...seen more sides to a city than just the middle and upper classes shall we say...another way to describe it would be experienced some harsher elements to life perhaps....not just the red roses...perhaps the 'dirt they grow in' would suffice. And partied a little longer than mid-night...yeah that's it...Do you know I first listened to Deep Purple at the age of 10...on a friend's bedroom record player...their album 'Deep Purple In Rock'...Side 1 Track 1...'Speed King'...blew my farrrrrrrrrrrrKING mind. So I worked a morning milk vendor round and saved enough $ to buy my very first vinyl LP...Deep Purple 'Machine Head' at the age of 12 in '76. My father had just bought our family a 'stereo' and it was placed in the lounge. Well...as my parents were a little...er older than most of my friends and my dad was in to 'James Last' and my mum was in to 'Engelbert Humperdinck'....when I cranked up the volume knob to Deep Purple 'Highway Star' on that freakin' lounge stereo boy did I get the rark up....'TURN THAT STEREO DOWN NOW!'...

It’s solid gold 👌🏼

It's incredible, but I think Paris pips it just ever so slightly

Might not have been a handful in all of rock history. This is the epitome of raw, sincere hard rock

How do you spell Bingo?

Malcolm holding that rhythm when Angus is riding someone’s shoulders picking on that lead is gold. GOLD JERRY! Raw Rock and Roll!!!

What about Lil Xan ?

Mayby the hives

Totally agree. Still is. Saw them with Chris Slade a few years ago. Great player. Not the same feel.

Rocks most underapreciated drummer,nearly said underrated but only a fool would say that🤣

I heard the metronome was developed after hearing phil rudds drumming

@@terrypollard4657 LOL he was amazing wasn't he.

@@terrypollard4657 👍😂👌 exactly!

Tout à fait d'accord avec vous de toute façon ac dc sans Bon Scott c'est pas ac dc

Yeah, Powerage is their best record.

Powerage is one of the cassettes I bought in 1982 to get me through a cross-country Greyhound trip

What a grt show n fun band.lovem.grt album.

Eddie Van Halen's favorite ACDC album: Powerage

@@preving keith richards favorite acdc album also

I know, he was literally on fire at one point.

Bon is the best ever all respects

No need to compare they're all great

Maybe not everyone but yes he's better than those artists except daltrey

I was 16 when they first invaded my screen on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. I thought they were a shitty punk band at first. By the end of the song, which was "Sin City" I was a full blown fan and have been ever since.

In the uk Were AC/DC as big as queen in the 70s and 80s??

Anything for the girls lol!!!!!!

Angus lived off chocolate bars

I guess all the band but Bon were on "chocolate", while he probably was mostly a hard drinker. pure energy by the way@@ChrissCross1

@@ChrissCross1 ...and cigarettes.

@@fredball8240 we’re talking about energy…

I second this.

I’d have given a kidney to have been right there 🤗🤯

Yeah, history.

@@yoric6939 Yes. And then you could look fondly back on what had bean.

@sunbunny88 Yes. It's real funny when a rookie asks who was King Bon Scott? Same type of rookie when Metallica released the black album and the rookies say nothing else matters and unforgiven which I call bathroom song are not the worst songs of all time along with the great Led Zeppelins song hot dog, puke!

​@@yoric6939 i think some of those in the crowd will take you up on that.

Man I was thinking the same thing! No lie!

that means if it ever is build you've already been there ;)

And the Apollo in Glasgow on 30APR78

The front row people are time travellers

@@alangordillo1766 Yeah, probably.

@@Jenjoshstars2012 back in black is crap?? :Joke

@@acdcjavier22 The same applies to FTATR. Terry M is a joke.

Agree 100%. Nothing can comprare to this era. Plus Bon Scott’s performance live was always on point

@@Jenjoshstars2012 I don’t think for those about to rock is trash. That album is just really fucking good in my opinion. Although those 6 albums bon had were just way better. But Brian is the best replacement for bon. I’m glad they didn’t try to get another bon

@@acdcjavier22 it’s not that good for pure rock fans. But to general public it’s good. It’s a decent album tho. Everyone should have payed attention to the grittiness of bon acdc

man, we are lucky to even see this on youtube. Imagine if this concert had been lost.....

I would SO much have loved to experience them live with Bon Scott too (I have with Brian Johnson in '91). I love Brian Johnson... but Bon was (and still is) my favorite vocal and character in the band!

I hadn't been at this venue... but saw 'em 2 years sooner for the first time, 14 years old... (supporting Rainbow in Germany: Blackmore, Dio, Powell... a line-up to die for...! At least for Purple maniacs like me ) Didn't know AC/DC till then (announced as an Aussie Punk band in local press, haha)... I didn't expect anything special from the "Punx"... and get one of the greatest surprises in my 53 years in Heavy Rock / Metal history. & so I became a die-hard fan for their Bon-aera.

Lucky enough to have seen Bon Scott. Fortunately for us in 2022 the internet exists and we can get drunk/stoned, crank this up on a projection screen, and pretend we are there. :)

thats why you support bands before they blow up

These kids were not worthy 🤯

Don’t forget Malcolm rockin the rhythm flawlessly! Hands down the best live band ever!

AC/DC good guys !!

To true bon is the king of rock and the king of heavy metal is Dio

You are learning well Grasshopper

my opinion too

One man said, and I agree with him... "Bon sings like every line is his last." You think he'd destroy his voice by the way he sings, but he's vocals are just built that way. My favorite rock band and frontman ever.

@@nashgrooms252 that is why Bon Scott was also inducted in rock hall of fame 2003 with AC/DC, two of Bon’s nephews accepted and received the award! Pretty cool of AC/DC to include Bon but he was exceptional song writer too!

Круто😎❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄ хи х😊

Totally agree!!

The true epitamy of a rock show

Except for the blond haired guy front bottom right of most shots who seems to have got lost from chess club

This is Epic!

Same !

was it as mind blowing as it looks here? let me live through you man

I wish I was there but I wasn’t born earlier then that show

🤣

how Angus stayed that tight with his head flailing back and forth like that...he never missed a chord or cue....ill never know. One of the wonders of Rock

What little footage of Van Halen on their first tour in 1978 is every bit as tight as this.

Fabulously Bon 👏🏽👏🏽💝

If you look at bon at the end of let there be rock he looks like he's has a big line of coke or speed before the encore.

Definitely great memories for you

One of the greatest rock n' roll frontmen to ever walk a stage. It was virtually unheard of(especially in the hard rock/metal world at the time) for somebody to be that animated and "dancey" on stage as Bon was. Prince, Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars - sure, but you're into the pop realm at that rate. Mercury (with his opera background) had a better all around vocal delivery, but not even he was as animated. Morrison, somewhat, still nowhere near the level of Bon. Iggy Pop maybe on the same planet, but he was more of a loon. One of the greatest ever..even the late great Selena loved AC/DC and no doubt "borrowed" from Bon - her and Chris had to have watched the old VHS tapes of Bon.🎸

Im there right now

@@JohnnyangelNIU Ññ

@@JohnnyangelNIU your words are empty. There is nobody like bon period. He was the best rock frontman with dirty live vocals. He engaged with the audience and delivered on any stage. Cant compare him to anyone else. End of whatever else u were thinking about . No hate but bon was undisputed originality .🤘🤘 dio the best metal tho but bon number 1

@@onyxsh0cks456 Not sure what your point was. I was pretty much making the exact argument you just made for Bon. Few if any were better. I listed other examples that came long after him and/or cited him as an influence.

PS: Those teenies in the audience.... Was this really a live show ?

All rap songs now have something to do with bon Scott’s lyrics. Except he was smart about his lyrics and not completely direct. I don’t listen to rap to much but it’s funny to hear rap and j think that bon said all this shit 50 years ago and no one payed attention to it. Those first 6 years has some od the best lyrics written

He got zero credits on back in black, but It’s definitely Bons lyrics that were used.

Thanx a lot... although it's worthy from 0:00 to 42:17

Thank you very much. 🤗🖤🤍💙

Was looking for this comment. Thank you Fam! ♥️

Bon was a fucking musical nuclear bomb in a human body. No wonder he died so young.

Aw they owned the world that night they were absolutely smoking ✨💫✨

Absolutely

"Malcom always looks like he's being electrocuted" made me LOL. So true, including the rest of the sentence.

This is honestly a good question because if a normal person tries to headbang like this once they will probably break their neck. And even if angus was on drugs and didnt feel pain then im guessing he would still get injured??? So how is this possible

@@neonknight-1522 it's training. Had neck problems after concerts years ago but with years of shows or practice every week you und your neck are used to it.

I can't believe Angus didn't cause his own CTE condition or vertebrae and disc degeneration.😝🤕 But I'm certain at some point he had many regular Asian massages 🤪 and regular chiropractic adjustments.😂

yeah.. Angus's head banging is incredible.. i hurt my head and neck trying to imitate him too.. ..And he plays like a monster as well! mental faces he pulls.. he was so entertaining..

Agree!!

Agree

After an AC/DC tour back then, I bet he'd have been in shape for a marathon world record. OMG where does he get that energy from? I've ran a couple of marathons.... and his energy level leaves me jaw-dropping impressed!

@@bennyfriis601 Man He's so energetic! I'm about to be 40 I'm not sure I could keep up! Hell running a marathon like you did I would need alot to be in shape lmao!

Someone on another video said Angus can fall down 3 flights of stairs while playing and not miss a note! Lol

@@nickm9336 I could believe that too lmao

Highway to Hell tour 1979 Pat Travers opening Big hit snorting whiskey drinking cocaine.. dam awesome band. AC/DC melted the place down especially when Bon Carried Angus thru the crowd while still playing... Just flat out roc n roll !

An understatement if you don’t mind me saying friend 😉🙏🏼🤯

You're right. In terms of energy, arrangements, and any kind of testosterone, music today is in regression.

@@ChorusArtists don't even think about showing up with no shirt on might offend someone these days...great show

@@ChorusArtists in terms of everything. Rock n role is in decline. There are people who argue there are new bands that make good original music but they are refering to nu metal bands and they suck lol

​@@neonknight-1522 It may be in decline, but you should still hear Dinosaur Pile Up, or Volbeat, or The Trews, who are just a few of the great bands trying to exist out there.

@@onyxsh0cks456 Your opinion is not a fact. Extreme metal is still metal. And its great. Plus, you can take out some of your aggression through it. Its better than going out and dropping some sιssy boy like yourself. You just dont understand this music, so you disrespect it.

Mr Bon was the fucking King mister

We're almost there bro. This shit is amazing rock n roll.

aye sore knees and back fae being crushed by everyone behind you and intense whiplash but forgetting all that from the adrenaline pumping through your arteries!

Absolutely mind blowing to this as a memorable gig 🤯🤯

Daughter s account. Would give almost anything to had been there

Mind blowing

Lucky you, do you remember how much the ticket cost?

Daughters account. Lucky basterd 😂

Yeah.. I saw them in 78 also in NC.. same thing.. I took some pictures of Bon and Angus in the audience, but over the years they were stolen. They opened for either Cheap Trick or UFO..
