FIRST time SEEING AC/DC - Thunderstruck LIVE! Does Thunderstruck mean what I think it means!? 

AC/DC are an Australian rock band formed in 1973. Shot in December of 2009, Live At River Plate marks AC/DC's triumphant return to Buenos Aires where nearly 200,000 fans, and 3 sold-out shows, welcomed the band back after a 13 year absence from Argentina. Angus the lead guitarist was born in 1955 so at this concert he was 54 lead singer Brian was born 1947 so he was 62. Peace out.

The look on your face, you're speechless, too funny. You won't find crowds like this in any genre except ROCK. This is how cool Rock is!

AC/DC technical term means Alternate Current/Direct Current. But I think it's because they are an electrifying performance style band

You've def heard there other songs whether you knew it or not: "Highway to Hell", "You shook me all night long", "Back in Black" and "It's a Long way to the top" all have just as much airplay as "Thunderstruck". Personally my favourite song by them is "Let me put my love in to you". Yes most of their lyrics are about women are partying

I was present at two of the three concerts in River Plate, Argentina. It was crazy, I'm grateful that it was recorded.

Arguably their most iconic album came out the year you were born. "Back in Black". This was the their first album after the death of their lead singer and rock icon Bon Scott.

It's such a joy watching young people discovering music from my youth 🤩😍 The beautiful thing about all those classic bands is that their live concerts are always better than their studio records, IMHO.

AC⚡DC was my first concert back in 1983 when I was a young teenager of just 14. GenX just had the best music, the best liberties, the best of everything. Young, wild, and free. Concert tickets were only $10-15, but you had to camp out in the lines for good seats. Life was never sweeter.

My 1st concert ever was AC ⚡️DC ... I was 15 .... I am currently 51 .. and they are still iconic ...

Ya nailed it on the meaning...this song has resulted in very many babies. Lol!!!!

People are always shocked when they see the size of the crowd that this band can bring out. AC/DC has been rocking me since I was 15 and I am 60 now.

Mate, no one could ever hate someone for discovering AC DC for the first time. Your plan now should be to deep dive not only this entire concert but their catalogue and share your reactions. That is the sign of someone who is growing and expanding their musical repertoire. You will not be disappointed.

😂 fatastic reaction as always, Black P! Its amazing seeing you discovering legends like these 😊

I think "thunderstruck" covers the whole thing. Kind off a holy s**t moment. Angus is the guitarist bouncing all over the stage. They came on the radio at work one time and I asked my coworker, "How are they still going and still so popular?" I thought a few moments and said, "Oh that's right, Angus Young."

Grew up in the 70s with ACDC.....still wear my concert tee as a nightshirt😂 Concerts sure ain't what they were when i was growing up~!!

Should check out “Whole lotta Rosie” and “Highway to Hell” “You Shook me all night long” live at the river plate as well.

Back in Black, Highway to Hell, and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap are some of their best. Highway to Hell is about touring, actually. And, if you want goofy funny, Big Balls. AC/DC is the best pub band ever - one of the iconic bands from my childhood. My older brother was into them, so I listened early. Lots of their albums play off the electricity thing - High Voltage, Powerage, Flick of the Switch. If you want to listen to a second song, I'd say try Dirty Deeds. It may not be the hit that Back in Black or Highway to Hell was, but it's badass. My second favorite after Thunderstruck.

That stadium is a soccer stadium in Argentina, who know how many people were there. Love your exposure to the music I grew up with. Like all these old bands they were better younger. We just lost Malcome, RIP and thanks for the good times and fond memories. You all will live forever.

Yes! My all time favorite band. Their name is abbreviation for Alternating Current/Direct Current. I was lucky to see them live 8 times and they always gave 100%.

Fantastic. The whole concert at River Plate Argentina was crazy, and literally, look for any band, the concerts in Argentina are pure madness.😛🤘

AC/DC is Alternating Current/Direct Current

As an Aussie, I think we've all grown up with AC/DC. Angus is the lead guitarist hopping across the stage. He wears a school uniform in every concert, because he was still in school when they started the band, and he used to run back home to practice with the band after school. You may want to check out Cold Chisel too, another iconic Aussie band.

AC/DC Live At River Plate was recorded in Buenos Aires in December 2009 when nearly 200,000 fans (over 3 sold-out nights) thunderously welcomed AC/DC back after a 13-year absence from Argentina.

Saw them in that particular “Black Ice” tour in Athens, Greece in 2009. One of the best shows I’ve seen in my life. The production was phenomenal and the band, despite their age, were incredibly tight. They rocked the s**t out of us! ACa DaCa (as the Aussies call them) are one of the pioneers and yes, you did get another history lesson today. There’s a handful of bands that defined rock music as we know it and they are definitely one of them. 🤘

Hahaa, man. It's been so awesome seeing you discover this kind of music, I'm really getting so hyped just watching on my phone lol. Brian Johnson has one of my favorite stories of how he joined the band. He almost let the opportunity slip but he decided to go through with it look how iconic they've become. Insane

I’m from Australia man and love what you do. I’m a former pro footballer over here and was lucky enough to Captain my country. I love your attitude towards music and life. I know you mainly do rap and i love that but if you want to hear another original Aussie band check out “ Cold Chisel with lead singer Jimmy Barnes” more famous here in Aus than AC/DC. When they were really young they were the same band. Bow Rive, when the War is over etc. live Ringside 2003. He has the beast rock voice ever

Literally LMAO when you asked “Do they have another huge song?” Epic. 😊

Duuuuuuuude! Yes! I am here for this!!!!! I used to front an AC/DC tribute band and after a rehearsal or gig I couldn’t speak properly for days, but the buzz man, the buzz of screaming out and the audience screaming back WOW! Shoot to Thrill was always my favourite but tbh you can’t really go wrong, and you will recognise plenty from their immense catalogue!

Saw them live in 2008 at Madison Square Garden, took my son who was 14, me in my 50's. One of the best concerts I have ever been to (been to a whole bunch). Thunderstruck is their original song and first Track on "The Razor's Edge" (1990). Song was inspired by Angus's near death experience travelling on a plane that got caught in a Violent Thunderstorm on way to Texas, struck by lightening....hence the title. Cheers 😎😎

🎸yesssss 🤘

Keep in mind this is the first song of the show, it only gets better! Angus rules!

Great reaction, and yes it basically means what you think it means 😀 A lot of AC/DC's lyrics have a obvious connotation.

I'm 60 and bands like AC/DC was probably the reason many my age dropped mainstream during the 90s and went back to what we knew was good from our younger years.😂 6-7 years ago I discovered some amazing talents and been surfing YT for them since, but always nice to hear you guys a bit younger enjoying my generations highflyers.

That concert was in Buenos Aires in December 2009 when nearly 200,000 fans, over 3 sold-out nights, thunderously welcomed them back after a 13 year absence from Argentina. Around 65,000 each night.

River Plate is a soccer stadium in Buenos Aires,Argentina. This concert is from December 4,2009. I was there,i live 15 minutes away from that place.

You’re going down a deep rock hole with AC/DC !! I’m here for the ride 👊

One of the greatest bands of all time! Live shows were f*ing life changing. An unbelievable amount of good songs , can't list them all! "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap", "Can I Sit Next to You Girl", "Rocker", "Jail Break", "Problem Child", the list goes on an on! My oldest nephew is named after Malcom Young - RIP Malcom Young, George Young and Bon Scott. You need to check out MOTORHEAD! Lemmy is GOD!

Loved the reaction! If you want to check out more AC/DC, I highly recommend you to see concerts from South America like this one, the crowd is the best, and the sound quality for the videos are awesome!!!

Luv ur reaction...AC/DC are rock legends & us Aussies are so PROUD

I took my son to this show when he was 15. This is his most favorite song. He cried so bad when this song came on. It is one of my best memories from his child hood. I also had been to my first AC DC show at 15. They are a time less band.

Now you see why us fans love this music...its an adrenaline shot to the brain. A show like this will have you pumped for days.

"Thunderstruck" was inspired by a moment when lightning struck an airplane that Angus was aboard. After the stewardess explained to Angus that the plane had been stuck by lightning, he replied "No, we were struck by thunder, because it boomed." You can probably assume that this song was AC/DC having their best moments of life flash before their eyes... (Reddit)

AC⚡DC was my first concert and I've seen every show they've played in Nashville TN from 1984 til now. NEVER let me down. ❤ Love the reaction, just fantastic!

They just played their first concert in 7 years at the Power Trip festival on Oct 7th, 2023. They are still rocking! Angus is now 68 with white hair!

You really need to watch their performance of Whole Lotta Rosey, also from River Plate concert. If you liked this one, you will fall in love with Rosey.....lol

AC/DC is an acronym for electricity - alternating current/direct current. His voice definitely changed over the years, but it always had a similar tone, it was just easier to understand in the 70s and 80s. For a massive concert, you should check out Metallica - Enter Sandman live in Moscow (1991) - they had 1.6 million people at that concert.

Your reaction is hilarious. AC/DC is an absolutely fantastic band. Love’em.

My favorite rock n roll uncles! Brian Johnson just turned 76😂😂😂 Bless his heart and his ears 😂

Lets gooooo. We have a huge band that covers there music and plays shows at the MGM here and local shows. Hope you find some more songs by them you like. Your reaction was fricken funny when you read the lyrics😂😂😂

Seen them twice here in the UK, definitely one of the best live bands. Great band great audiences!

Love watching you discover legends!

Finally you reacted to our Aussie legends!! Please do more!!!

AC/DC is alternate current D C direct current . It could also mean someone who swings both ways. Men & women wise. AC/DC is without doubt the best live rock band in the world. Seen them many times. None better.

according to Wikipedia ... The band's logo was designed in 1977 by Gerard Huerta. It first appeared on the international version of Let There Be Rock. Malcolm and Angus developed the idea for the band's name after Margaret pointed out the initials "AC/DC" on the AC adapter of her sewing machine. A.C./D.C. is an abbreviation for alternating current/direct current electricity. The brothers felt that this name symbolized the band's raw energy, power-driven performances of their music Welcome to the biggest Rabbit hole ever. The best rock group ever. IMHO! I love Brian Johnson but Bon Scott was just amazing until his death in 1980 he was playing the drums for the new album they were working on when he was found dead. They are still going BTW.

When you LOVE what you do, IT NEVER gets OLD....

Dude I had the pleasure of being part of this crowd. Lol not this particular one but I saw them twice in concert. They were big back in the day and are legendary part of rock n roll

Back when I was a teenager AC/DC came in concert and when they opened with this song the crowd rushed up to the gates by the stage. Unfortunately people were stomped to death in a crowd and it changed the concert rules where I’m from. They tried to blame AC/DC but it wasn’t their fault. Love AC/DC!

For another song of theirs that'll be close to your heart, with an amazing performance from their prime, You Shook Me (All Night Long) performed at Wembley Stadium. 🙂

The stadium holds 65,000 and they sold it out 3 nights in a row in 2009. They originally booked two nights and tickets sold out so fast they added a third.

Best thing you said Brother....I love music!! Much Love from Australia!

AC/DC was formed in 73. I started listening probably in 1977. So, yeah, by 2009 they weren't young. Except for the Young brothers on guitars, lol. Oh, the horns. For America the single of "Highway to Hell" had Angus Young on the cover, and their label put devil horns on him without telling the band. They wanted to make the band seem edgier. They ended up just rolling with it, and now you see them selling light up devil horns at this concert. Oh, and "Thunderstruck". You're not wrong.

Omg YAAAAAS. Best Part about this is they were in their 50’s and 60’s already during this show and they still went wild as fuck. I saw them live in NY Aug. 25th 2009 and it was one of the greatest things ive ever experienced. Anyways The next song you should experience either be the Live at Donnington version of “Let There Be Rock” or the song “Ride On” with their original singer Bon Scott.

Thank you for this . . . made my Friday afternoon rockin' at work AC ⚡DC !

Biggest Australian band with so many hits you could dedicate a whole channel to them 👏

So glad you enjoyed it! This song is in the great teen film Varsity Blues. Now you have to check out their song “It’s a Long Way to the Top If You Want to Rock and Roll” (best use of bagpipes in a rock song).

If you need your mind blown again could I kindly suggest "Since I've been loving you" by Led Zeppelin, live at Madison Square Garden about the time AC/DC formed incidentally. Since you love R&B in all it's forms, you'll really like this, it's genuinely epic.

Grab a friend or two, they’re in Coachella at the Power Trip Music Festival Oct 6-8, 3 day passes, tonight is GNR / Iron Maiden, tomorrow is AC/DC and Judas Priest and Sunday is Metallica and Tool.

I'm lucky enough to have witnessed ACDC live in a stadium (London - Wembley - 2009). It's truly a religious experience. The best gig you will ever go to

hope it's gonna be the live version at the river plate stadium😎

Hey man , if you think that crowd looks big ... watch metallica live in Moscow 1.6million people .. amazing . Take a look and start the metallica rabbit hole! . Uk fan .. keep up the good work . Watched loads of your videos to date . Jay

AC/DC = alternating current/direct current Best live show I ever attended. LA in 88 or 87? Rest in power, Malcolm.

Oh, I'm going to enjoy this rabbit hole journey. Can't wait!!!

Next ya gotta do Dio....specifically his older band Rainbow....it's lyrically dense and the singing is incredible

Not too shabby for a bunch of old dudes!!!!! AC/DC played 3 straight nights at River Plate in Dec 2009 to a total of 220,000+ ppl so says their official web site so that’s 73,000+ a night!!!!! Brian Johnson the lead singer was 63, Angus Young the lead guitarist was 55 and the rest of the boys were in their 50’s!!! Legendary is all I can say. These Argentina fans are the best on the planet and they appreciate good hard driving rock and roll. Just look at all the different ages in the crowd. It transcends generations. Unbelievable!! So says Austin Tx!!!! 🤣🤣🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸😍😍😍🥳🥳😎😎🍸

If I'm not mistaken, that concert was December 2009 at the River Plate stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Loved this reaction. That song has so much energy.

This reaction brought me SO MUCH JOY!!!

Crowd so packed, it looked like one organism breathing and moving

As an Australian I am absolutely loving your reaction. I am in hysterics 😂😂❤

Loved the reaction I just couldn't get the smile from my face. More AC/DC FOR SURE!!!!

Every video from this concert is 100% worth a watch

AC/DC concerts are something else the crowd going off the music vibrates so even the deaf will be feeling the music

Yes! And now my weekend begins. This is just epic!

Your face BP! Epic!! Always “interpretation” dancers 🤭🤣🤣🤣

I was there. They sold 234,000 tickets but only 232,457 people turned up to see it live in one HUGE stadium.

This group was my Senior Class group & favorite band my two Songs are BACK IN BLACK.......... SHE SHOCK ME ALL NIGHT LONG!

Excellent reaction P. 👏 ❤ thank you!

If you were writing an article, yeah, I would expect you to research. But you are 100% correct in keeping it real bruv. Keep up the good work! And Brian Johnson is legit a rock legend. Very humble, very down to earth bloke with an insane voice.

Oh lord you’re innocence is priceless!!! 😂✌🏻🙏🏻❤️🇨🇦

Most overlooked and under appreciated ACDC song is Ride On.

The original singer Bon Scott died he played the bagpipes in one of their videos A Long Way To The Top another song you should check out. The Album BLACK IN BLACK is a tribute to him

River Plate is a stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This show was part of the Black Ice World Tour. Attendance was 170,630 over 3 nights at this venue.

Backstory of AC/DC, Young Brothers, Angus (lead guitarist) and Malcolm (rhythm guitarist) formed their iconic band in 1973. Their sister had a sewing machine with AC/DC Adapter. They used it as their band name. AC/DC started out in their adopted homeland of Australia (Young Brothers born in Scotland) Family moved from there to Australia. Their sister also suggested that Angus wears school uniforms as his trademark. Malcolm died in 2017 from Dementia. Their nephew, Stephen "Stevie" Young stepping in his Uncle Malcolm place. Their most notable frontman besides current one was Bon Scott, who died in 1980 of alcohol poisoning.

I'm four days late but my mom who was born in 1941 loved 'Back in Black' by AC/DC. We lost her in 2019 but I still have the memory of her dancing in the kitchen while cooking to the beat of that song.

My first concert, I was 15, ACDC Back in Black tour. Entire album is a banger. And the shows are really like this video. HIGH ENERGY!

the lead singer, Brain Johnson, was born October 5, 1947. he was 62 when they played this show. I guess the crowd numbered around 200,000

Argentina, 3 nights of performances all sold out and notice the crowd knew all of the English words and the crowd was a lot younger than the group. That is what Rock and Roll legend means.

AC/DC are the masters of the double entendres.
