What’s also impressive about this song is Bon’s vocals. He paints a picture with the incredible use of his voice. Even without the band you are still drawn into the story he is telling. Listen to the way he drops down on the verse “freedom he was chasing” then rises up for the next “SPOTLIGHTS”!! The range this guy had was something few singers could match. We tend to see Bon Scott as a heavy rock vocalist. But as this track shows there was so much more to him than that.
I've always said he was a minstrel, a storyteller. He draws you in. It's the greatest difference between Bon and Brian. Late AC/DC has some great songs, but I grew up with the early stuff and that's the real AC/DC to me.
@@dougcox3990 Me too it has to be said the quality of AC/DC’s songs fell off when Bon Scott wasn’t around anymore. They could still come up with some good rifts but the lyrics were pretty dreadful! A big part of what made those AC/DC songs so playable on the radio was the clever nature of Bon’s lyrics. Cheeky but not crude or rude. At least not in a way that would give offence to anyone.
I gave Bon's statue a little polish on Sunday, Perth time. It's on the Fremantle fishing boat harbour board walk, with the world's best fish and chips nearby. His grave is up the road a few km's.
There was actually talk for a long time of the Song being made into a Movie, but it obviously never materialised. Brian’s done an awesome Job, but Bon will always be my favourite, great memories of being little kid in the Car singin’ “It’s a Long Way to the Shop, if you Want a Sausage Roll”, when it played on the Radio way back when it came out.
Mark Evans (on bass) is the only member of Accadacca who has written an autobiography. He said that there was a little bit of danger making this video. He said that the explosions behind them really singed their arses somewhat! It was a bit dodgy, but pretty fucking cool as well. It's one of my favourite clips ever! Also, Fremantle is pronounced Free/mantle. It's named after Fremantle in Scotland, like Perth. I believe this songs lyrics were inspired by infamous Australian criminal icon Chopper Reed.
G'day Suzy & Travis, You've hit the AC/DC jackpot!!! This is one of the very few AC/DC official video clips, where Angus doesn't wear his school uniform. I think there's only one or two more - not counting their performance at Donnington Park, where Angus ends up in his Union Jack boxxer shorts. I'm not going to tell you which one that is though. You guys are going to have to find it yourselves. 😉 Thanks for another great video. Andrew
Filmed outside Melbourne in 1976 for the ABC pop show countdown. One of the first AC/DC videos the band did before leaving for England. Bon obviously had fun with this one pretending to be shot in the back ! Lol. No stunt man for Bon that’s him diving for the deck with the explosives going off around him ! Lol
This was vera first AC⚡DC song I heard. In '78, tho', & bonny lad, Sco'ish Bon Scott, 'fore his bagpipin' wit' Angus, ;butt I was jus' 6, so relax yer hatin' at me. Hella jam!
I was stationed in Frankfurt,, (West) Germany in the late '80's when I stumbled across a 3 record set of their first 3 LP's for less than DM (Deutsche Mark) 20 at the time. I think that was about $12 American at the time. Love the Bon Scott era of AC/DC!
Another classic Bon Scott vocal/video is for Let There Be Rock, filmed in an old church, see if you can spot the bit in the video where Bon breaks his ankle...
Thanks so much for reacting to my song. Im so glad you enjoyed it. I was captivated by this song when I was really little and it has remained my favourite ACCA DACCA (pronounced Acker Dacker) song. Love to you both!
OK - first of all - I LOVE this song - one of my favourite Acca Dacca songs - and therefore one of my favouriteoverall songs. Secondly - I actually don't think this was the "Official" film clip - This may have been the "Original" film clip - but it's a bit too violent for most of the music shows of the day. Even Countdown - which was ABC and thus a little immune to the censors - would've had trouble with this film clip. There is a similar - slightly more PG version - which would have been the "Official" one - that we all watched and loved back in the day. I actually prefer this one though 😃
Really, this must be the 20x I suggested this godless endeavor, nevermore and Jeff Loomis at there greatest. Last time I promise, as long as u do it that is! Thanks
Hi Travis and suzie you need to see AC-DC "Girls got rythum" this video was released in 1979 and 6 months after this video was released Bon Scott died and this was his last video with the band
He went to riverbank in caversham, outer suburban Perth in the early 60s for stealing fuel and having unlawfull carnal knowledge. Which means sex with an under-age girl..I think she was a year younger than him .15 and 16 .
Oof, my first ever experience of AC/DC was the album back in black in 1981 I was instantly hooked, and then I heard dirty deeds done dirt cheap and the legend that is Bon Scott, Bon was in a league of his own no doubt, but I would say Brian Johnson fitted in to AC/DC just right after the untimely death of Bon RIP. Shazbot nanu nanu.
Almost 50 years AND STILL GREAT 🎸🥁🎸🥁
One of my very favourite Acca Dacca songs.
With a hole in his body where his life had been. Favourite line.
Such a fabulous line! Love it!
Bon was so good with his lyrics. :)
All in the name of Liberty!
Thanks, guys. You can never get enough of AC/DC with Bon Scott. He was the best front man.
The best AC/DC. Bon Scott legend.
To quote DAAS (Doug Anthony All Stars) Bon Scott. Discovered he was dead , drowned in his own vomit when he found out he couldn't freestyle through it

Bon Scott is the true AC/DC for Aussies. Such a legend.
Too bad didn't live longer geez 😢
@@MitchClement-il6iq I like Bon but sadly he lived the wrong rock and roll lifestyle. so many can't handle it.
One of my favourites
This is one of a hell of a classic Aussie song
Old school ACCA DACCA 🇦🇺😝👍
Best always front man RIP Bon Scott one of my favorites from his era
I gave Bon's statue a little polish on Sunday, Perth time.
It's on the Fremantle fishing boat harbour board walk, with the world's best fish and chips nearby.
His grave is up the road a few km's.
filmed right here in a western suburb of melbourne, sunshine, great groove, great song
Geelong ?
Thank you Suzi and Travis for playing AC/DC They are the best and still are Rock on . Love ya.
Finally, Jailbreak. Love it!!
I had the same pyjamas as Angus is wearing in the late 70s as a kid old British Aussie convict uniform 😂😂
One of my favourite songs ever.

Oh wow! 😍💕 I'd forgotten how good this video was, it's rarely mentioned, incredible, fabulous, love it, love it! Bon Scott! 💋
One of my favourite songs!!
I used to see Bon when he sang in a band in Perth called The Valentines in the 1960’s.
The live version of this is well worth checking out guys. It's awesome!

Great song always been a favorite of mine.
I love Angus's convict pyjamas. They were available in the shops and I knew a few kids that had them.
I love that crunch riff

Bon will always be my favourite. 🖤
As kids growing up in Melbourne Australia we used to sing “all in the name of Lipton tea” 😂🤣

Yes, and he broke his leg for Let there be rock! Incredible! 👍
@@jenniferharrison8915 Can you imagine any so called “rock stars” doing that today ! Lol
@@scotttaylor7767 No, none! 😥🤣
What a classic! Rockin song with a super-compelling story
Angus' prisoner school uniform is brilliant
Lol yes, looks like PJs as well. Love it.😊

The late Bon Scott and late, most revered Ronnie James Dio were the definitions of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal.
Bon Scott will never die
I was stationed in Frankfurt,, (West) Germany in the late '80's when I stumbled across a 3 record set of their first 3 LP's for less than DM (Deutsche Mark) 20 at the time. I think that was about $12 American at the time.
Love the Bon Scott era of AC/DC!

No one can make so great Music today
Of acdc, this is my fave. 👌😄

And don't roll the R's at the end. Alternative word for automobile. American: Corrr. Australian: Kah.
Great choice
This lady in red ohh my ❤😊
Bon Scott ….. best frontman for sure, true talent gone too early.
OK - first of all - I LOVE this song - one of my favourite Acca Dacca songs - and therefore one of my favouriteoverall songs.

Great early stuff they formed only 3 years prior in 1973 RIP Bon Scott Feb 1980
Some people can relate to this AWSOME song
My favourite. ❤
Great song
I don't listen to ac dc anymore, but the Bon Scott always gets me up
Really, this must be the 20x I suggested this godless endeavor, nevermore and Jeff Loomis at there greatest. Last time I promise, as long as u do it that is! Thanks
I recommend listening to the live at Donnington 1991 version if you want to see this one live
Please play the AC/DC song 'Can I Sit Next to You Girl' .
Check out Ride On off the dirty deeds album. Totally different sound.
Hi Travis and suzie you need to see AC-DC "Girls got rythum" this video was released in 1979 and 6 months after this video was released Bon Scott died and this was his last video with the band
Finally
Gotta do jailbreak live at donington 1991!
I have a pic of me and the Bon Scott statue!
Huv ye, I heard its no a good likeness of you, 😂
I think bon was a classically trained singer
Bon was King. That is all.
great song, you have to check out the video for Baby Please Don't Go.
this song could re-dedicated to the 10 year old kids that are now going to be locked up in Queensland.
Now you should have a listen to the Yothu Yindi version.
Wasn’t Bon Scott briefly in prison at some stage before the band got going? Pretty sure I saw something about this in a biography on tv
I heard the story on a tour of Fremantle gaol, he did time for siphoning petrol out of cars
He went to riverbank in caversham, outer suburban Perth in the early 60s for stealing fuel and having unlawfull carnal knowledge. Which means sex with an under-age girl..I think she was a year younger than him .15 and 16 .
forgot hw gd vis song is!
Gees I would love to tell a Bon Scott story but people wouldn't like it, but karma got him in the end.
I'm an Australian SUBSCRIBER. CAN YOU PLEASE DO ACDC THE JACK. (NOT LIVE) WITH BON SCOTT. THANKYOU. ❤
masterpiece, bon scott= top 3 front man ever and he sing miles and miles more than brian kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Great band with Bon! I won’t watch any B Johnson. Personal choice - otherwise my ears hurt.
Totally agree, raspy flat and blah! 😣
True
I am glad to hear that. I thought I was the only one. As I tell people, I have every AC/DC album but not with B J.
@@terrykerslake2675 I get hounded on SM if I ever give my view. Growing up with Bon leading ACDC it’s hard to like Brian’s vocals.
