Bon was Britney Spears before Britney Spears was Britney Spears.

I have the greatest respect for Brian but this is AC/DC

[davydeuce]

Bon Scott’s voice hits you straight in the heart. He was so pure, real, and raw!!

[BigMrFirebird]

Angus and Bon, a superb double act. Magnificent.

[jamesvaughan]

Bon Scott was always having a ball with his performance, it was never just a job, never just a chore. And that make ALL the difference in the World!

Like a few other commenters, I didn't know it at the time, but the night I watched this performance by AC/DC on Countdown was the night Australia changed. It is impossible to overstate the effect of Bon appearing in drag before 7pm on the national broadcaster (the ABC) as a Catholic schoolgirl with a lit cigarette running around the stage without underpants on. Australia was very conservative back then. It still is TBH, but let me tell you, to be an adolescent girl growing up in 1970s Australia was not without its challenges. Especially if your father fought in World War2 and thought 'allowing' his daughters to finish Year 12 and go to university proved that he wasn't sexist. Which in the context of the times is true I suppose. And that was six years after this performance, which was the first time AC/DC appeared on national television, and is now recognised in Australia as genuinely historic (and broadcast by the ABC on Australia Day).

Backstory: the boys didn't know Bon planned to appear in drag. With seconds to go, he arrived late and ran onto the stage. This explains why Phil Rudd and Angus can't stop laughing. Countdown was broadcast live (on Sunday night), and there was nothing the producers could do to stop the performance, which got more outrageous as the set progressed.

Meanwhile at home, my siblings and I had tears rolling down our faces laughing. For the first and last time in her life, my mother - who always 'supervised' us watching Countdown for fear her precious brood might be 'corrupted' - was rendered speechless. My Dad was downstairs 'doing the books' - thank Christ because the television set would have been swiftly turned off if he had seen it.

The next day at school, AC/DC and Bon Scott was all we talked about. The whole nation was talking about it.

And that's how AC/DC was born and Australia was never the same. For a relatively short period, they were 'ours.' Songs like Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap - those lyrics are decades ahead of their time. Bon sang out loud Australia's dirty little secret but took years to come out in Royal Commissions and police investigations into sexual abuse of school children. Long Way To The Top - how many people know that Bon and Malcolm asked the Rats of Tobruk Pipe Band to play the bagpipes in the recording that is usually attributed to Bon? For those who don't know who the Rats of Tobruk were, there's plenty out there in the public domain. In the famous Swanston Street film clip, the Rats of Tobruk Pipe Band are standing on the truck with the boys. Dog Eat Dog is a critique of crony capitalism and the way society treats so-called 'losers' at the bottom of the heap. Frankly I think Dog Eat Dog is Bon at his best. Every fibre of his being goes into that performance.

When Bon died, I was shattered. Absolutely shattered. It took me a long time to accept Brian Johnson. Now I am grateful that I experienced the joy of Bon Scott fronting AC/DC before he and they became world famous.

I will always love you Bon. Thank you :)

There will never ever be anyone like the brilliant, charasmatic Bon Scott. The whole band was brilliant.

It's midnight, and I'm rocking to this amazing tune, but I've got to get up early in the morning... I guess there is no point in sleep now, rock on
