AC/DC - Messin' With The Kid - Rehearsals [Los Angeles 1983] 

The album "Flick of the Switch" is an underrated masterpiece.

The guitar and vocals sound amazing, but can we all appreciate that great Bass from Cliff for a minute?

I was 30 years old when this was recorded, im now 66 years old. Man how time flies when you're having fun huh! Still listening to AC/DC and always will til I'm 100 if i should be so lucky. One of my favorite bands ever. RIP Malcolm. What a great rhythm guitarist. I know they must miss him much as well as their first singer whose name seems to skip me at this moment ( forgive me for that guys, i should be ashamed of myself but with my age and all the smoke---ha ha ). Wow these guys look so young here. Oh to be young again.

I graduated 1983 , what an influence these guys had on my life 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I always liked how big Angus makes an SG guitar seem.

Malcolm’s rhythm guitar is understated awesomeness.

This is one brilliant song. Just goes to show they could play and sing anything. Perfect. Love you lots guys. 😍☝️🤗😎🤩

Brian smoking a cigarette while singing... priceless!

Back then everyone used to brag over The RollingStones being in the business for 20 years ..... AC/DC in their decade plus Rock’n’Roll path .... those times where so awesome so kind of innocent pure era ....great era , AC/DC is one of the finest Rock’n’Rollers ever to exist... nobody done so much with so much simplicity and beauty , true Rock’n’Roll icons ! THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS IS REALLY PRICELESS TO WATCH

Dang, just seeing them jam at the end to a more bluesy Guns For Hire amazes me how well these guys work together.

Angus and Brian are so in their element. Calm. Cool. Collective. How this song (though a cover) did not end up on the album is beyond me. Long live AC/DC. Then, now, and beyond.

Great rhythm and blues, the guitars blend so well, man they played magnificently together.

I love acdc with all my heart... Very strong band

Simon was a good fit for the band at this time. I think he gives the band a different sound from the previous stuff done with Phil. Still for me Phil will always be the ac/dc drummer

I miss cigarettes for this reason. Glad I quit, but nothing beats a cig and a beer while listening to some great, passionate live blues. Being in that moment is one of life's great pleasures.

I think this is the first time I ever seen Angus without wearing that schoolboy uniform. Also the first time I've ever seen a lead singer light a smoke in the middle of a song. This video is just fucking awesome.

many thanks for this rare super video!!!

As with all of ACDC's work, it's guitar tone perfection.

One of the best bands ever.

I love watching bands rehearsing or doing sound checks!

How has this not hit my suggestions til now? Freaking awesome to see some Acca Dacca history. Thanks for uploading this 🤘

I can't love this enough! Love to find rare jam sessions. Thank you for posting.

Rory Gallaghers Messing with the Kid rocks

So weird seeing Angus just chilling and grooving on the guitar. In a good way.

Just found this. I love all they do. And the blues???? WOW!!!!!!!!!!

I used to smoke 20 packs of cigarettes a day.....til I lost one of my lungs. Then, I cut my smoking in half. AC/DC ROCKS RIP Bon n Malcolm

My favorite AC/DC era. Flick of the Switch is my favorite album by far. So many gems on it. And the rawest sound they ever had. Love it.

I’m a black dude who got the gears for wearing a led zeppelin shirt ...guess what I told them ....!!!?...these icons just prove my point

Pure gold I loved every second of this

this is ......pure.,,........gold........,,,

well THIS is a long-lost gem - thank you!

Don't know how you came into possession of this but THANK YOU for posting!!

I always thought they played the biggest guitars ever , took me forever to realize they are all like 5ft tall

Classic AC/DC, just awesome, may the guys rock for ever...respect....

Cool. I believe a Jimmy Reed tune. Pretty damn cool. Brian Johnson is even animated during rehearsals! I always love how my favorite musicians are so connected with each other. Angus Young said in one of his interviews that one of the albums that impressed him the most was Second Winter because of the variety in the music. I heard this blues song done by the electric Freddy King, and my favorite guitarist the blistering fast Johnny Winter. This version done by AC/DC is quite the lovely treat for the ears. My favorite albums from them are Let their Be Rock, Powerage and The Razors Edge. But anyone remember Black Ice? Really that's the most variety I ever heard in an AC/DC album. I swear I heard a little slide guitar in that album. True bluesy Rock n roll! Thankyou for this video 🎸🎸🎵

We saw two of these LA forum concerts in a row 1983. They were insane and couldnt hear shit for several days afterwards. LOUD ! =)

Brian "My voice isn't rough enough yet, think I'll smoke another cigarette" Johnson

Agreed Flick of the Switch never got the love to me it’s definitely one of there best Albums with Brian Johnson I would put it up against back and black.

Incredible and rare to See Angus playing straight without the headbang shtick

@4EverLed's Channel Keep it comin' Man! Love your work! Peace, from Alberta, Canada. I saw Who Made Who, and The Razor's Edge Tours. Rock Heroes... Greats... Legends... Icons... Idols... My FAVORITES... and that's just Malcolm & Angus, the Young Brothers!!! AC/DC FOREVER!!!

Angus always has the blues. That's why he sounds so great.

This video makes me so happy

this is a neat moment to be a part of. just hanging with the band.

Toms deep as bass drums, but bass drum only deep as a snare !! Brilliant 🤘

HAHA 9.58 Brian whistling then laughing at Angus's reaction!!! Would of been awesome to be at one of their rehearsals

From this we got videos for guns for hire and flick of the switch

Need a double lp of these...could listen all day 2020

Will we ever hear music like this again ? This will live for eternity

I born in 83 and I love AC DC

Great stuff. Rory Gallagher did a great version too!

Really really really really really really really really sleazy. Love it!!

The word Band means everyone's great individual part played coming to together i love the ac/dc

it would be cool if they put out a straight up blue's album

Good thing Angus and Malcolm played guitar. I can’t imagine them doing anything else. Imagine asking angus where the ketchup is at Walmart as he’s stocking shelves. Wait, I can imagine him stocking shelves actually. Lol

Thanks for posting. Awesome.

Angus on a mid 70's SG. Wow he makes it sing sweet. With clarity!

Thanks for posting!

We salute you, 4EverLed ! ! ! Thank you so much.

Imagine if you were in the room when Brian was auditioning for AC/DC in the spring of 1980.

Holy shit! Wish they did a blues album!

I first heard this song on a Blues Brothers LP.

3.47 if you're in a rush.

Angus is the magic! He inspired me to learn guitar 14 years ago when i was 10 and ive played ever since!

I had always heard rock'n'roll was a fusion of rhythm & blues and country but it didn't really hit me until I was in my early 20's...I was listening to the Back in Black lp when it occurred to me Angus was basically playing modified blues licks. I went out and bought a B.B. King lp and have been a blues fan ever since.

Such a big band..... 🤘🔥

stuff like this is what makes me miss Bon all the more...

Oh this is sweet. Thank you

Collins was the right man for the band! They wanted Dan McCaffery from Nazareth in the first place, but Collins is perfect for ac/dc!

Back when we had REAL MUSIC 🎵

God they where so young in this video, with so much life in front of them. Now sadly, most of them have left us. But the memories, and the music lives on.

Doctor John loved to do this classic tune .... R.I.P Doctor Voodoo John

Angus Young one of the most under rated guitarists

Most people don't realize that Angus is essentialy a blues player

Going down memory lane looking at Buddy Guy/Jr. Wells version. This popped up & it's really cool. A. Young's tone is sick & sweet!! 💕🎸🎶💕🎸💕🎶

been a fan for as long as 1973 the 80's were a great time

Just in case you weren't aware that a hell of a lot of hard work goes into putting on a live show.

1983........this was the year they used to say "AC/DC is grouse" or "they are tops".............!!!!!!!! classic memories.

Would love to hear em play “Sweet Home Chicago”

This is what music is all about .

My first concert ! 1983 ACDC/ FASTWAY

Wish Angus would do a blues classics solo album....

Live from the atlantic studios:fucking good concert with really good sound, btw.

Everybody knows what a great rhythm guitar player Malcolm was. i wonder if there's any video out there of him just like in a rehearsal like this going off and maybe even playing lead or busting out a solo just for the hell of it while the other guys are getting ready. I would love to see and hear that.

Can we just pause and appreciate Cliff’s amazing bowl mullet?

he is somehow so young and so old already at the same time, lov it

Angus' lead playing just got better and better over time. He plays an SG because a Les Paul weighs about 500kg.

I'm always sayin they should've made a blues album!

Rockin' blues is my favorite thing in the world!

Seeing them this young reminds me that in early days my friends and I hadn’t accepted Brian yet. To us he was the guy trying to replace Bon but we bought our tickets for the Hells Bells tour .They played 3 nights in Seattle and my brother and I were there for all three. They opened with Hells Bells and had a replica Liberty Bell on stage that Brian would hit with a sledge hammer during the intro. The first swing came back and hit Brian in the head but he didn’t miss a beat. That and his performance won us over that night

Man seen Malcolm jam out one of the greatest guitar player of all time R.I.P

best band ever

Back to where it all began. BLUES

Had all the albums and most bootlegs but never heard this one!

The purest. King's, legends, nothing like them. God's. Some just don't understand.

I love rehearsal videos. It shows their true colors without all that technical recorded engineered sound. Or more like behind the scene bloopers.

A simple as people think Phil rudds drumming is, when he isn't on the drums in acdc it's totally obvious, Phils feel and approach are such a part of the real acdc sound, no matter what album it is they all sound better when Phils plays.

Brian should be a blues singer. Awesome

Kick Ass footage!

Nice who is still listening to this in. 2022

Brian: I guess this is a two cigarette song...
