"It looks like I'm in the middle of an earthquake." That's funny. This concert registered on Richter scales measuring for earthquakes. The synchronized jumping was enough to actually shake the ground. That's an epic concert.
Now can you imagine what the old folks home will sound like in 20-30 years from now. AC/DC blasting down the hallways and elderly people sitting wheelchairs head banging. Lol
Hell no I ain't gonna be sitting in my wheelchair headbanging. I am gonna mount a 454 flathead to my chair with a 5 speed hurst shifter kit and 36" whitewalls and see if I can get my chair up to 200mph while headbanging. lol
Back in '09, these guys were between their mid 50's to their early 60's, with Angus being the baby at (I believe) 54! This is how your parents and grandparents rock! 😎🤘
Any concert held at that stadium thousands go. The River Plate stadium is the biggest stadium in Argentina . On top of that , River Plate is my home ⚽️ team. I've seen many concerts & games there. In 2018 football ⚽️ lovers were all watching TV or at the stadium watching the final game of the Copa Libertadores against our biggest rival that has never happened in history. We played against Boca jr. Check out the highlights 🏆
@@barrydunn682 Yeah, that's fine. But this was a ticket attendance. Sold out. 3 day in a row. In the biggest soccer stadium in Argentina, a non-english speaking country, singing ALL their songs.
Brian Johnson is now 76 - the same age as many of his Fans , try to imagine sitting in an Elderly Care Home and during the breakfast buffet they listen to ACDC
Angus young could play the guitar while falling down stairs! AC/DC IS KINGS OF ROCK! I've been a fan for more than 3 decades! Bonus info: They have a younger brother from another mother in the shape of Airbourne!
Airbourne represent!! I was introduced to them last year, and I love them! Their music is awesome!! I was thrilled to find them & their attitude to music really makes me feel hopeful for the future of Aussie rock :) Also a huge AC\DC fan, having grown up on the music for decades.
Rock has many genres and many many different sounds associated with it. If I was trying to explain to someone who'd never listened to music what rock music was. Of all the bands I could choose from I'd play them an AC/DC track. Now I disagree that AC/DC is the greatest rock band of all time but they have the sound that best explains rock as a whole. And they are among my favorite bands.
It's even crazier when you learn that this is the 2nd lead singer, the original lead Bon Scott, passed away in 1980. Was hard to imagine someone taking over and matching his vocal style.

Brian will never be Bon, who was the best, their early stuff is the best
Agree, just saying he matched the style of the band. I can't think of even one singer who could have allowed them to continue on like they have. Their continued success after Bon Scott is a testament to that. Bon was more than a singer, he was a consummate rock frontman.
4 месяца назад+1
@pigglepower7794 agree, but the old stuff with Bon is still the best, saw them many times before and with Brian but still only listen to the Bon era.
They just announced a world tour starting in April of 2024 . it kicks off in Europe , they announced the dates 2 days ago and all European dates have already sold out. ALL our stadiums......
Angus and Brian will be there. The rhythm guitar that Malcom played will be covered by their nephew. Cliff, the bass player and Phil, the drummer, are not announced. I don’t know who’s in charge. But I’ll be there, first concert of the tour, May 17th. With 70.000 people in a football stadium. And yes, they took 185€ for a ticket, but that’s sadly normal after COVID hit the industry very hard. Adele charged 400€ for a ticket, so AC/DC is still not so greedy. And the complete tour was sold out in half an hour!
Highway to Hell Is about a road that went to a bar in Australia. It went down to the bottom of a hill. There were alot of wrecks at the bottom and people were killed. They nicknamed it the Highway to Hell. It's in one of the books
AC/DC was always great live as were many of the bands from this era. There was no auto tune the bands had to have talent to make it. So glad I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s. The music was incredible.
You've got to see them at the grammys 2015. They were amazing! Also yes they're still performing. I've got tickets to see them at Wembley Stadium, July 3rd, capacity 92,000. Can't wait! 🎸⚡️🤟😮
AC/DC was an amazing show. 3plus hours of 100 percent energy. Lots of running around interaction with the crowd, sweating like roasted hogs and loving every minute of it. They never phoned it in. They were a group that LOVED what they did and put out the best every performance. How Brian Johnson could sustain that singing style for that long boggles the mind. Bon Scott, their original lead singer was also phenominal, but sadly drank himself to death.
7:02 Funny you mention being in an earthquake... During this concert, the earthquake sensors miles from the venue actually were going off because of the crowd jumping during the show.
Brian Johnson stated in an interview that he never warms up his voice. "I use to walk in backstage and hear these other singers doing scales, etc. to warm up before going onstage. I never understood it... I just go out and whatever comes out, comes out"
Welcome to Australia BP this is prob the longest still running band besides queen. Australia's best band of all time and forever will be. RIP BON SCOTT the original OG vocalist
They have been fighting for 53 years and they’re out on tour right now. They are the best rock ‘n’ roll group in the world. They been plain since 1973.
My favorite joke around this track is: "The fact there is a Highway to Hell and Stairway to Heaven states something about expected traffic numbers". An oldie but Goody. As for Brian's singing, yeah he still sounds like this. But they need a lot of breaks between songs (at least in the last concert I saw them live at).
You were commenting in the video about how singer's voices change as they get older. When Brian Johnson was asked something about how he maintained vocal health his reply was something along the lines of whiskey and cigarettes.
Brian was in his mid '60's when this was recorded. This was in front of the greatest hard rock mosh pit on earth. God love AC/DC and God rest Malcolm Young. 🙋♂
These giys are professionals. There is no substitute for pros. "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly" theme by the Danish National Orchestra Symphony is an instrumental that will drive this point home and leave you amazed.
In Toronto at the SARS concert with over 400,000 people watching and AC/DC finished and the Stones came on stage and started playing. Many people took the opportunity to leave and try to beat the crowds home. I saw thousands walking toward the gates as the Stones are playing when suddenly there was a roar and AC/DC came back on stage to perform with the Stones. All those people turned around and headed back to the concert. It was wild.ACDC played with a wall of amps behind them at their other concerts and I could hear for a week.
The song 'Whole Lotta Rosie' is about 5 minutes or so on press. Live it turns into a 23 minute song with a 17 minute guitar solo. Angus Young used to walk around the arena on the shoulders of a security guard while playing this solo. Incredible performance every single time they step on stage.
Brian was 60 at this point. This song is about being on the road/touring. This was the title song on Bon Scott's last album. There was a road in Australia (where AC/DC formed) that was referred to as the "Highway to Hell" especially when they were on tour.
I stood in line for ACDC tickets in MN, in 2001, below zero weather - 3 months pregnant! Wtf??? Seems like an eternity ago- before massive use of cell phones- praying they don't sell out before you get to the ticket booth lol. Saw them live at 5 months pregnant, and to this day, it is one of the best live concerts I've ever been to. Angus's feet literally, do not stop moving the entire show! The cannons were there, and awesome! My son, (now 22) knows he is automatically inducted into the ACDC fan club because he was "there" with me during the concert lol
The original lead singer Bon Scott died at age 33. The original whisky voice of legends. I really didn’t know at the time if they could ever replace him, But they did with great success. The love/hate..it reminds me of replacing other famous lead singers. How much hate did Sammy Hagar get when he replaced David Lee Roth?
Bon knew Brian Johnson, personally and told his bandmates that IF anything should ever happen to him, they should look into recruiting him. Bon chose his replacement.
@@wesalker3479 awe…that’s great insight..sad..maybe Bon knew one day his drinking would get the best of him. I was in High School at the time. I remember the boys in total disbelief. They really took it hard.
@@blurpledragon2779 oh I agree, but it was just a frenzy on campus.. I remember the boys striking a revolt against VH, the arguments..lol.. almost some fights..what crazy times it was as an observer. It was the common thread of “ can the original ever be replaced” . I’m sure many other bands throughout history went through this with unexpected deaths, firings etc. but this was at a very critical time period in my life when emotions are at an all time hormonal high.
I was lucky to be there, this guys are the real shit. It's funny that you mention earthquakes, because after the show the stadium was banned for shows because of damages caused by vibrations.
Love your reaction to this! I've been listening to this song for like 45 years, I love it just as much today as I did when it first came out! Also, I'm right there with you, I've been a rocker my whole life but have loved rap since it first came out! Keep em comin man!
The Canning Highway in Western Australia, is nicknamed The Highway to Hell, where Bon Scott lived. There are vids on RUclips where thousands go to play and listen to AC/DC Music. Many say song is about AC/DC travelling for hours on the Canning Highway to Fremantle Western Australia. Others say its origin has a different meaning. I’m positive I watched a vid about them talking about the Highway and what a hell of a long treacherous highway it is.
I saw these guys 3 times in the last 30 years. Brian Johnson's voice has always sound this good even today. Prior to him, Bon Scott was the singer until his death and also had a great voice. There's a reason why these guys are Australia's most successful Rock band. The song has nothing to do with Hell or the Devil. It was written by Bon Scott and it was about the long hours of driving in Australia in blazing heat when they started to tour early on in their career and being in this little van all of them and their instruments. It was so hot that it felt like driving down an highway to Hell.
You really need to check out the best use of bagpipes in rock in their song “It’s a Long Way to the Top If You Want to Rock and Roll” featuring the original lead singer Bon Scott before he died
If memory serves me correct, Highway to Hell is about being in a rock band touring. You definitely have to check out the old stuff, Try Dog Eat Dog. One of my favorites.
Got to see them up in Montreal (was living in VT at the time) in 1988. They kicked a$$!! Brian was 62 in 2009. They still make new music and are set to tour again.
This isn't the early days of the band, it is the halfway point They started in 1973. Highway to Hell was the last AC/DC album made by the previous singer Bon Scott R.I.P.
Hey Black P Love the reactions!!!You just watched what true Rockstar's are in their 60's still rock star's LOL Just keeping you posted they are touring starting in MAY in Germany as of 4/10/2024 they have only announced the European leg of the tour but we expect the USA leg of the tour to be announced soon we all hope. I promise you there are 2 bands you will never be disappointed of seeing LIVE AC/DC and KISS the shows are amazing I know there are others too but out the 50+ concerts I have been too they are at the top along with Pantera!!!!!! I went to AC/DC Hollywood in 1977 and went to AC/DC in last appearance in 2016 in Sunrise with AXL fronting the band the music stills sound exactly the same!!!!!
Don’t forget that the original of this song was done by Bon Scott and this is Brian Johnson performing live. Also, it makes me giggle when you say that you’re Christian and your mom would not like this. I grew up the same way. Went to Catholic school for 12 years from first grade to my senior year. I would blast AC/DC from my room and my parents would always talk about “that devil music“ and how I’d’go to hell’ for listening. my parents were also very big football fans. Somehow their music tastes would change when the very familiar bells would toll, signaling the beginning of AC/DC’s “Hells Bells“ that most stadiums started to incorporate during the games to gin up the crowds. They sure didn’t care that it was “devil’s music“ then! Lol.
At River Plate, 'Highway to Hell' was the 1st encore song, the 18th song sung overall in the concert that given night. With that voice. With that volume. With that much enthusiasm and constant motion. At 62 years old After having been doing it for 29 years. Just one more reason AC/DC are ROCK GODS
There is a video of a huge crowd singing bohemian rhapsody , I think they were waiting for a Green Day concert to start..that one is awesome , so many people jumping at the same time
AC/DC has two main eras. The Bon Scott era gave the feeling of " you don't mess with us because we're crazy" . The Brian Johnson era gives the feeling of "you don't mess with us because we're bad"
The original singer passed away. He was a fantastic front man. They hit the jack pot with Brian, as he was able to carry the AC/DC sound while not mimicking the original singer. Brian sounds the same as 1980. He nearly retired claiming voice issues, but we fans haven't noticed much change.
Great reaction man! Check out Whole Lotta Rosie from the same concert. It's one that you probably haven't heard because it's not played on the radio as often as their other hits (they have a lot) but it's one of their best songs.
Dude 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 54 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!!!! 🤣🤣🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸😍😍😍🥳🥳😎😎🍸
AC/DC are one of the best live bands ever - their sound is like the studio, and they have played together so long that all their sound drops and entries are spot on timing.
I can remember waaaaaay back when they played in a stadium in Melbourne, Victoria here in Oz and they were SO LOUD they were fined for noise pollution and told to turn it down!! lol These guys make me PROUD to be an Aussie ( 58 year old Nana here ) :D ❤🔥
This IS for REAL! NO LIP-SYNCHING! NO AUTOTUNE! NO HOCUS-POCUS, ALA-KAZAAM-ALA-KABOOM BULLSHIT! This performance was at the River Platte in Prague, Czeck Republic in 2009. There were 200,000+ fans that attended. Angus Young was 54 y/o and Brian Johnson {vocals} was 62. Angus's older brother, Malcolm {rhythm guitar} was 56 y/o. Malcolm was diagnosed with dementia and would be officially retiring from the band in 2014. His nephew Steven Young had filled in on rhythm once before when Malcolm had become ill with lung cancer in 2010. Malcolm made a full recovery from the cancer, came back to the group until he began showing signs of memory loss. We lost Malcolm on November 18, 2017 from dementia. To date, Steven Young is now his full-time replacement. RIP Malcolm
Sorry but U are Wrong buddy. River Plate Stadium, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Is in their DVD. ALL SOLD OUT, 3 DAYS IN A ROW. SORRY IF I PLOP YOUR BUBBLE 🇦🇷 BEST CROWD IN 🌎 Said by AC/DC, NOT BY ME.😅😅😅
Had the privilege to see them in Oakland back in July of 1978, Day on the Green #3. They shared the stage with Aerosmith, Van Haylen, Foreigner, Pat Traverse. It was an all day concert and it was the bomb.
Hola, respetos a usted. Este concierto es de Argentina, estadio de River Plate, Buenos Aires. Audiencia fantástica! Ustedes lo tienen al gran ❤️ JMJ ❤ 😊 conciertos de a millones !!! Saludos y suerte para el próximo mundial!
![BLACK BAG - Official Trailer [HD] - Only in Theaters March 14](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Du0Xp8WX_7I/mqdefault.jpg)
100,000 people jumping all 3 nights caused small earthquakes to be felt.
Actually 225 thousand for 4 nights in a row
"It looks like I'm in the middle of an earthquake." That's funny. This concert registered on Richter scales measuring for earthquakes. The synchronized jumping was enough to actually shake the ground. That's an epic concert.
Ac/Dc Shake your foundations- !985.
Right? They out did ZZ Top!
Now can you imagine what the old folks home will sound like in 20-30 years from now. AC/DC blasting down the hallways and elderly people sitting wheelchairs head banging. Lol
I hope so! : )
Hey, I resemble that remark. Have to tell you, the party’s already started! 😂😂😂
Cant wait :D
I'll definitely do that. 🤘🤘
Hell no I ain't gonna be sitting in my wheelchair headbanging. I am gonna mount a 454 flathead to my chair with a 5 speed hurst shifter kit and 36" whitewalls and see if I can get my chair up to 200mph while headbanging. lol
Back in '09, these guys were between their mid 50's to their early 60's, with Angus being the baby at (I believe) 54!
This is how your parents and grandparents rock! 😎🤘
Hell yea!!
This is from their concert in River Plate. Argentina. There were 3 shows and nearly 200K attended.
Any concert held at that stadium thousands go. The River Plate stadium is the biggest stadium in Argentina . On top of that , River Plate is my home ⚽️ team. I've seen many concerts & games there. In 2018 football ⚽️ lovers were all watching TV or at the stadium watching the final game of the Copa Libertadores against our biggest rival that has never happened in history. We played against Boca jr. Check out the highlights 🏆
Last 2 times I saw ac/dc in Melbourne, 2010 and 2015, 80000 at each show was wild. But this River Plate concert is absolutely insane. What a crowd😀😀
They played the 2003 SARS concert in Toronto before approx. 420,000 fans.
@@barrydunn682 Yeah, that's fine. But this was a ticket attendance. Sold out. 3 day in a row. In the biggest soccer stadium in Argentina, a non-english speaking country, singing ALL their songs.
@@eduardoARsanchez1266 Hmm... do you think that SARS was somehow free (unticketed)? It was to raise money for victims of the SARS disease.
Brian Johnson is now 76 - the same age as many of his Fans , try to imagine sitting in an Elderly Care Home and during the breakfast buffet they listen to ACDC
I have several elderly neighbors, and they listen to AC/DC all the time... whether they like it or not.
And just announced they’re out playing massive gigs in 2024. Legends! No effing auto tune needed like modern ‘artists’ either!
I'm there they will rock under the table
Angus young could play the guitar while falling down stairs! AC/DC IS KINGS OF ROCK! I've been a fan for more than 3 decades!
Bonus info: They have a younger brother from another mother in the shape of Airbourne!
...and their cousin: Rhino Bucket
Airbourne is epic
💯🔥
Love your to
Airbourne represent!! I was introduced to them last year, and I love them! Their music is awesome!! I was thrilled to find them & their attitude to music really makes me feel hopeful for the future of Aussie rock :) Also a huge AC\DC fan, having grown up on the music for decades.
The crowd got the band they deserved and AC/DC got the crowd they deserved.
It is my opinion that ACDC have created and performed the greatest rock music this world has ever seen.
I will second that
Rock has many genres and many many different sounds associated with it. If I was trying to explain to someone who'd never listened to music what rock music was. Of all the bands I could choose from I'd play them an AC/DC track. Now I disagree that AC/DC is the greatest rock band of all time but they have the sound that best explains rock as a whole.

They just announced a world tour starting in April of 2024 . it kicks off in Europe , they announced the dates 2 days ago and all European dates have already sold out. ALL our stadiums......
Have you seen the ticket prices 😱
Wait, WHAT!? How are they going to do that without their Lead Guitarist? Who got put on Guitar? I'm confused, I really thought they finally retired.
well, i stand corrected. who's taking Malcolm's spot?
@@karenmandeville7116 Okay, I might have mixed some stuff up here... Hang on, let me do some research, sorry.
Angus and Brian will be there. The rhythm guitar that Malcom played will be covered by their nephew. Cliff, the bass player and Phil, the drummer, are not announced. I don’t know who’s in charge. But I’ll be there, first concert of the tour, May 17th. With 70.000 people in a football stadium. And yes, they took 185€ for a ticket, but that’s sadly normal after COVID hit the industry very hard.

You may have slept on rock & country, but you awake now! Those who are about to rock salute you!
That show was in Argentina, I lived 25 blocks from there, and all my apartment was shaking!
Caramba!
It’s a long way to the top (if you wanna rock n roll ) with BON SCOTT vocals … 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼
AC/DC was always great live as were many of the bands from this era. There was no auto tune the bands had to have talent to make it. So glad I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s. The music was incredible.
They never lip sinked. They were purely live performers .True musicians.
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap - One of my favorites!
You've got to see them at the grammys 2015. They were amazing! Also yes they're still performing. I've got tickets to see them at Wembley Stadium, July 3rd, capacity 92,000. Can't wait! 🎸⚡️🤟😮
Me too. On the 7 th for me.
Agreed the grammys performance is amazing
Was all sold out before I could get tickets 😢😢
Canada Us dates?

Sars Stock summer of 2003 Downsview Park
He still sounds like this… the still on the road. In august 2024 they were in Germany giving a great concert
Brian Johnson stated in an interview that he never warms up his voice. "I use to walk in backstage and hear these other singers doing scales, etc. to warm up before going onstage. I never understood it... I just go out and whatever comes out, comes out"
Yes, that s AC/DC and Argentina😊❤a perfect combination
AC-DC -"TNT" and "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" are both bangers!!!
Please, PLEASE Dirty Deeds
Dirty deeds... done with sheep!
My daughter grew up on AC/DC, Zappa, Beatles, Aerosmith, Grateful Dead, Zepplin, etc. she’s in her 30’s and my ‘70s concert buddy.

Saw AC DC Live in San Antonio on that tour, INCREDIBLE! Played 2 hours straight without a break at their age! Best Concert Ever!

Highway to hell has no stop signs or speed limits it takes a longer time to climb upstairs But worth it
I actually had this joke in my head during the video. Great minds think alike haha
In 2024 they are still going in their European tour. You can see these video s on you tube. Great reaction, greetings from Australia!!
You were commenting in the video about how singer's voices change as they get older. When Brian Johnson was asked something about how he maintained vocal health his reply was something along the lines of whiskey and cigarettes.
"Hells Bells" contains one of the greatest intros of All Time. The song is a Rock Classic!!!
Brian was in his mid '60's when this was recorded. This was in front of the greatest hard rock mosh pit on earth. God love AC/DC and God rest Malcolm Young. 🙋♂
Brian Johnson turned 62 in year of this performance. Great vocals still for this one. AC/DC has always had great live performances.
These giys are professionals. There is no substitute for pros.
"The Good, The Bad And The Ugly" theme by the Danish National Orchestra Symphony is an instrumental that will drive this point home and leave you amazed.
I got to see ACDC live at Dodger Stadium in 2015 and it was AMAZING! The energy was off the charts.
They are one band that definitely sounds just as good live!
In Toronto at the SARS concert with over 400,000 people watching and AC/DC finished and the Stones came on stage and started playing.

I saw AC/DC in early 90’s they were amazing! True talent!
the fact that there is a "highway to hell", but only a "stairway to heaven", shows the expected traffic.
Amazing performances. Still rocking it. Seen them many times.
Also this was the 2nd last song of a 2hr concert and his voice still sounds awesome after 2hrs.
Im steeing them in Amsterdam june 6. For the first time. Ive been waiting to see the for 20 yesrs 🥰

Just remember many of the pioneer rap artists (Run DMC for one) sampled the hell out of metal songs to make their music
Notice they are all in their 50s and 60+ and the audience is still in their 20's. That says a lot about acdc
Yes! In Argentina we ❤ AC/DC. Buenos Aires River Plate Stadium concert, This was epic.
This was back when music sounded in person as did on radio the 80's and 90's where amazing to grow up in ....luv
There’s only a Stairway To Heaven, but there’s a Highway To Hell! We know where the party will be!
They were at River Plate stadium, Argentina. Sold out the stadium 3 nights, close to 200,000 at each show

I was lucky to be there, this guys are the real shit. It's funny that you mention earthquakes, because after the show the stadium was banned for shows because of damages caused by vibrations.
You have this old Australian man happy 😂
Love your reaction to this! I've been listening to this song for like 45 years, I love it just as much today as I did when it first came out! Also, I'm right there with you, I've been a rocker my whole life but have loved rap since it first came out! Keep em comin man!
This song is about life on the road as a rock and roll star.
The Canning Highway in Western Australia, is nicknamed The Highway to Hell, where Bon Scott lived. There are vids on RUclips where thousands go to play and listen to AC/DC Music. Many say song is about AC/DC travelling for hours on the Canning Highway to Fremantle Western Australia. Others say its origin has a different meaning. I’m positive I watched a vid about them talking about the Highway and what a hell of a long treacherous highway it is.
I saw these guys 3 times in the last 30 years. Brian Johnson's voice has always sound this good even today. Prior to him, Bon Scott was the singer until his death and also had a great voice. There's a reason why these guys are Australia's most successful Rock band. The song has nothing to do with Hell or the Devil. It was written by Bon Scott and it was about the long hours of driving in Australia in blazing heat when they started to tour early on in their career and being in this little van all of them and their instruments. It was so hot that it felt like driving down an highway to Hell.
River Platt, Buenos Aries. 200,000 over 3 nights. Brian ALWAYS sounds like this. Even in normal conversation...
The best song to experience Bon Scott,AC/DC's original lead singer IMO is 74'jailbreak.
Let there be rock also shows his charm! Lol
I appreciate you brother. You got me through some hard depressing times and it's amazing to see your growth.
You really need to check out the best use of bagpipes in rock in their song “It’s a Long Way to the Top If You Want to Rock and Roll” featuring the original lead singer Bon Scott before he died
That concert was in 2009, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I was there in the middle of the crowd jumping for almost 1 hour and al half, it was a madness.
If memory serves me correct, Highway to Hell is about being in a rock band touring. You definitely have to check out the old stuff, Try Dog Eat Dog. One of my favorites.
🎶...eat cat too...🎶🎸⚡️🔥
I think it's about a highway in Australia, close to where Bon Scott lived. He used to drive down that road to a bar to see his friends.
Got to see them up in Montreal (was living in VT at the time) in 1988. They kicked a$$!!
Brian was 62 in 2009. They still make new music and are set to tour again.
This video was recorded from the concert in ARGENTINA 🇦🇷 my beautiful country !!!!! Here in Argentina LOVE rock music 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks for giving us Manu Ginobili!
Saw them in 1982 and it was amazing.
This isn't the early days of the band, it is the halfway point They started in 1973.
Highway to Hell was the last AC/DC album made by the previous singer Bon Scott R.I.P.
It's way past the halfway point.
Hey Black P Love the reactions!!!You just watched what true Rockstar's are in their 60's still rock star's LOL Just keeping you posted they are touring starting in MAY in Germany as of 4/10/2024 they have only announced the European leg of the tour but we expect the USA leg of the tour to be announced soon we all hope. I promise you there are 2 bands you will never be disappointed of seeing LIVE AC/DC and KISS the shows are amazing I know there are others too but out the 50+ concerts I have been too they are at the top along with Pantera!!!!!! I went to AC/DC Hollywood in 1977 and went to AC/DC in last appearance in 2016 in Sunrise with AXL fronting the band the music stills sound exactly the same!!!!!
Don’t forget that the original of this song was done by Bon Scott and this is Brian Johnson performing live.
Also, it makes me giggle when you say that you’re Christian and your mom would not like this. I grew up the same way. Went to Catholic school for 12 years from first grade to my senior year. I would blast AC/DC from my room and my parents would always talk about “that devil music“ and how I’d’go to hell’ for listening. my parents were also very big football fans. Somehow their music tastes would change when the very familiar bells would toll, signaling the beginning of AC/DC’s “Hells Bells“ that most stadiums started to incorporate during the games to gin up the crowds. They sure didn’t care that it was “devil’s music“ then! Lol.
At River Plate, 'Highway to Hell' was the 1st encore song, the 18th song sung overall in the concert that given night. With that voice. With that volume. With that much enthusiasm and constant motion. At 62 years old After having been doing it for 29 years. Just one more reason AC/DC are ROCK GODS
200,000. Festival is in Argentina.
There is a video of a huge crowd singing bohemian rhapsody , I think they were waiting for a Green Day concert to start..that one is awesome , so many people jumping at the same time
River Plate....one of the Greatest Filmed Concerts in Music History !
AC/DC The best rock and roll band in the world! I love them!!
AC/DC has two main eras. The Bon Scott era gave the feeling of " you don't mess with us because we're crazy" . The Brian Johnson era gives the feeling of "you don't mess with us because we're bad"
Saw them in August in Dublin, just as amazing.
The vocals are still amazing but I must say I love me some Angus!❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
After retirement, I plugged in this song at the beginning of every awesome road trip. Recommendation "She's Got the Jack".
Originally called, "The Clap." 😂
@@whome1299 When I first heard it I thought it was about a poker hand. 🤣🤣🤣
@@tomatolady11 😆👍♠️♥️♦️♣️
AC/DC FANS THE GREATEST FAN EVER
Hell yeah 😂now you got my❤full attention.😂my number one band 😂thanks. Enjoy. This is about a real highway in Australia. Power Up baby.
The original singer passed away. He was a fantastic front man. They hit the jack pot with Brian, as he was able to carry the AC/DC sound while not mimicking the original singer.
Brian sounds the same as 1980. He nearly retired claiming voice issues, but we fans haven't noticed much change.
Great reaction man! Check out Whole Lotta Rosie from the same concert. It's one that you probably haven't heard because it's not played on the radio as often as their other hits (they have a lot) but it's one of their best songs.
Dude 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 54 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!!!! 🤣🤣🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸😍😍😍🥳🥳😎😎🍸
Saw them at Reunion arena in Dallas in the 80’s. Fantastic show. They have many great songs! Listen to “The Jack” one of my favorites.
Seen them live twice, they sound better live than studio!!@
AC/DC are one of the best live bands ever - their sound is like the studio, and they have played together so long that all their sound drops and entries are spot on timing.
Bon scott died then brian Johnson took over he is about 69 here not sure 😂😂 sure someone will cjorrect me The jack another one 😂 argentina
RIP Scott and Brian was a great replacement.
I can remember waaaaaay back when they played in a stadium in Melbourne, Victoria here in Oz and they were SO LOUD they were fined for noise pollution and told to turn it down!! lol These guys make me PROUD to be an Aussie ( 58 year old Nana here ) :D ❤🔥
This IS for REAL! NO LIP-SYNCHING! NO AUTOTUNE! NO HOCUS-POCUS, ALA-KAZAAM-ALA-KABOOM BULLSHIT!
This performance was at the River Platte in Prague, Czeck Republic in 2009. There were 200,000+ fans that attended. Angus Young was 54 y/o and Brian Johnson {vocals} was 62. Angus's older brother, Malcolm {rhythm guitar} was 56 y/o.
Malcolm was diagnosed with dementia and would be officially retiring from the band in 2014. His nephew Steven Young had filled in on rhythm once before when Malcolm had become ill with lung cancer in 2010. Malcolm made a full recovery from the cancer, came back to the group until he began showing signs of memory loss. We lost Malcolm on November 18, 2017 from dementia. To date, Steven Young is now his full-time replacement.
RIP Malcolm
Sorry but U are Wrong buddy. River Plate Stadium, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Is in their DVD. ALL SOLD OUT, 3 DAYS IN A ROW. SORRY IF I PLOP YOUR BUBBLE 🇦🇷 BEST CROWD IN 🌎 Said by AC/DC, NOT BY ME.😅😅😅
Had the privilege to see them in Oakland back in July of 1978, Day on the Green #3. They shared the stage with Aerosmith, Van Haylen, Foreigner, Pat Traverse. It was an all day concert and it was the bomb.
