When AC/DC replaced Bon Scott with Brian Johnson, it was the most unlikely and lucky comeback of a band ever. Brian Johnson deserves a lot of respect for what he did, and he is a great singer and front man. But when you see this concert right here it's obvious that there was something about Bon Scott that was just magical.

This small crowd was so lucky to witness AC/DC in it's prime, it's more like a pub gig than anything else. No big screens, no lighting effects, no stage props. Just pure hard core rock.

[rdgurule]

There will never be another Bon Scott.

[TheSoloAsylum]

There is not a band in existence today that can play a show like this...

[hockeyeverything]

The Bon Scott ACDC discography are the most perfect Hard rock albums in existence. Particularly Powerage and Let There Be Rock.

[scsmith]

45 minutes of a concert that is better than any 2+ hour show today.

This might just be the best AC/DC concert footage I’ve ever seen, and it was at a college. I think they’re at their absolute peak here, being at this show had to have been an incredible experience

[AlexanderXtcSlayin]

Most people can’t play that good sitting in a chair staring at the fretboard… meanwhile angus is non stop banging his head, crawling on the floor, and playing like it’s absolutely nothing 🎸🔥

[nonumquam]

In the history of rock-n-roll, there is no frontman who releases on stage so much energy, joy, satisfaction and freedom, as Bon Scott.
AC/DC released their best songs during Bon Scott times.

I saw AC/DC just a couple months apart from this video and it was absolutely stunning.
We didn't know much of anything about this band, they were the opening act for Aerosmith.
I remember at the start of their set when a lone spotlight hit Bon Scott as the band still in the shadows started building into the first song - Sin City...our first look at this unknown band from Australia.
I will never never forget Bon Scott's huge grin on his face as he surveyed the crowd in from of him, he was completely aware that this town (Rapid City SD) had no idea of the amplified sledgehammer that was about to hit them and his knowing grin immediately caused the hair on the back of my neck to stand on shit.
The band launched into Sin City and the whole electric energy of the arena exploded with the crowd on the floor surging into the stage to get a closer look at this amazing spectacle.
As I saw Angus Young strike the first chord to the verse his head was wildly thrashing front and back, I thought to myself "wow is this guy is on some serious speed or something because his head looks like it could pop off with the intense thrashing!!
I then quickly realized he was a fantastic guitar player he was and even though he was thrashing and skipping all over the stage he wasn't missing a note!! He just flowed right from verse to chorus and into astounding guitar solos that were just amazing.
By the third song AC/DC had won over the audience and the floor thrashed and moved with the beat in total sync with the band now.
It was an unforgettable sight and really left most of us with our jaws hanging open afterwards "wow what did we just see!?"
Aerosmith tried to follow this band but even though Steven Tyler worked his ass off and had that rock star charisma the band as a whole
looked like they were very drugged out (Perry) and just didn't have the energy or tightness to match the lean and mean energy that AC/DC
possessed in Spades.
I went out and bought Powerage the next day and it's still my favorite by them.

I am proud to say that I was actually there for this gig, excellent night.

[melissaturner]

Would give anything to have seen AC/DC in the Bon Scott days. Love Mr. Johnson too he has never put on a poor performance and has always given it his all every time I’ve seen them!

[hariowen]

Angus's accuracy wile jumping, running and rolling around all over the floor covered in sweat is absolutely unbelievably amazing.

[hockeyeverything]

Its not a stretch to say many people attending here may not even be aware of the absolute historical greatness they were witnessing

[davidwatson]

Not one stupid smartphone, absolutely no lip synching, this is the best sounding live performance of any band. This is how you ROCK

[melissaturner]

I never knew what Mr. Scott looked like or just how talented he really was….until the invention of YouTube….and I am

[neighbourhoodmusician]

God damn, Bon was just absolutely amazing on stage. They were just next level as a group.

[vlassisnikas]

AC/DC at their best. Powerage is a masterpiece. R.I.P. Bon and Malcolm.

[jackcarter]

If they ever build a Time Machine, this gig surely has to be first stop. Incredible footage....

[BrianHuman-kp]

There's only 1 AC/DC Bon Scott RIP
