Right on! Check out BB King and friends. The album from 79 I believe. Johnny and Edgar Winter jam in that concert. But damn, about 20 minutes of BB and George Benson jamming to the next universe! Enjoy! 🎶 🎸
I'm with you Brother. I've been listening to Breezin since it first came out and it never disappoints to this day. George Benson was an amazing guitar player. I'm sure there's a name for it when someone plays the guitar and sings the same notes simultaneously but it escapes me. Whatever it's called George Benson perfected it
I’ve watched this like 30 times. Absolutely amazing job not only with the overdub, but the timing. Not to mention that is an absolutely ripping solo. Bravo!
I'm addicted to this video. The camera work and editing! Catching tight shots of fingers flying on the fret board to the spaciousness of the venue - just amazing - and what a guitar player and showman - getting what looks like 50,000 - 75,000 people hanging on his every note. We were so lucky to have him and the band in our lifetime. Rock on boys!
Minor petty corection. "On Broadway" was originally writen and performed by the Drifers in 1963. George Benson's brilliant cover inadvertently revived it and reinserted it permanently back into popular culture.
Great video. I am 60 years old and I have been listening to these guys since I was around 17 years old. They somehow continue to be relevant and awesome. Rest in peace Malcolm. Keep rocking you amazing fellows.
Yeah, 57 and lost hearing at 15 from attending For Those About To Rock tour. It was my first real concert, ears rang for days. I'm sure there are frequencies I haven't heard since then.
Amazing rendition of a Jazz classic by National Treasure George Benson. Proof that music is absolutely transcendental and every great musician, is himself, a music fan. Very cool.
"On Broadway" is a song written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil in collaboration with the team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. First released in 1963 as a single performed by The Drifters. George Benson's excellent cover of the song was released in 1978.
Wow, and I thought I was a music nerd?....I kids of course. Thank you for the facts👍🏻. I wonder if this song was actually written in the Brill building right there...on Broadway@50th.?
Really had me fooled there! I was wondering how I could possibly have missed this cover, and I had to rely on the comments to set me straight! Very nice playing, by the way.
He don't miss a lick...his talent I think, is comparable to that of Hendrix and SRV Mix...and add all that moving around and keeping tempo..Extraordinary to say the least..
Would love to give credit to whoever is playing guitar to overdub to the video! It's great guitar playing and great timing. Angus is awesome and one of my favs! But this idea to overdub over live video is brilliant!!
Loved this song when George released it. It goes to show that our favorite musicians have a diversified taste in music, regardless of the genre they live in.
notice Malcolm's hands/chords, never change, it's a good sync job until you know where the chords should change, and they don't My guess is this is thunderstruck
I’ll never forget the night AC/DC payed tribute to The Bee Gees. Incredible versions of More Than a Woman and Nights on Broadway. These guys were born to POP.
DAMN!!! Was I seriously confused by this? Yessir!!! For a while, I didn't realise it was a brilliant mashup. I thought here's the best solo ever by Angus Young, but as MartinLevine718 says below "there's no way he's playing that kind of solos. that's some steely dan guitar playing shit... elliott randall, skunk baxter, larry carlton level stuff". Alors, felicitations a Richard Daude. This is a musical cracker. Fake or not I've got it on "loop" right now...
The best solo I ever saw was a ten minutes done by Angus. It had everything, was captivating, interesting, intelligent, fun, cool. He's thoroughly underappreciated and just so effing great. I've seen tons of great guitarists over the last 50 years, but I was amazed. Keep rocking Angus.

This is brilliant and extremely well done. I'm not sure what led you to know "On Broadway" would work so perfectly for a parody, but great choice. How the tempos of your tracks and the footage match up so well along with your efforts of matching Angus' left hand position for the licks you're playing is genius.
This is not a parody. It it a tribute and omage. This song epitomizes the ups and downs, highs and lows that struggling, emerging musicians face when they put themselves up against the turbulent and hazardous waters that are the hard facts and cold shoulders in the industry. They will be challenged to their limits, may be taken advantage of by greedy low lifes, and put to the test at every visible and unforeseen obstacle that gets thrown in their way. They may achieve reaching "the glitter", or be beaten down by the pressures and take that Greyhound bus to home. "On Broadway" tells the story with a few simple yet succinct verses. Cementing together the elements that give it greatness are a heavy NYC vibe by way of tension without release, the strength of the composition and arrangement, the killer hook.

This was a great show. The footage doesn’t show it but this song was preceded by their take on “it started with a kiss” and “if I could turn back time.” It rocked!

Fun nonetheless and I would love to see a transcription or video of you doing this. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS REGARDLESS OF ITS ORIGIN. THANK YOU.
I was smiling all the way to the end thinking what a great rendition; a heavy metal homage to George Benson! It wasn't until I read your comment that my smile became laughter. I still can't figure out how it was done so well.
Completely relatable. He’s so freaky good at mimicking Angus’ attack it had me for minute as I’d not seen his channel before. Then the brilliance set in once realized. I’d love to see Angus’ reaction to watching, I bet he’d appreciate it too! Master level talent at work here.
Holy Shikkies!! I can’t believe my ears!! This is AAMMAAZZIINNGG! My sister turned me on to George in 1978, one of my best friends got me into AC/DC in 1980! This is THE most unexpected mashups of all time!! Angus killed it Damn that was beautiful!

this guy can be blind folded in a full body strap with multiple locks and STILL play that badass guitar. One of the most amazing musicians ever.
Yes that's true Angus can play a mean guitar but a lot of what made that band cook was Mal. Rest His Soul

But you ask 100 people who wrote it, 95 will say George Benson, 4 will say someone in the 70s but I don't remember and 1 will answer Mann/Weil and that's of 100 people that actually know the song. Of course I read the second sentence. Neither one of us would even be here if the title was "AC/DC plays Mann/Weil's 'On Broadway'"
Awesome - what a great tribute to George Benson!
He may just be the world's finest living guitarist!
Ah, no.and no.
It’s fake Angus is a beast- Jeff Beck is the best in the world- this vid is fake bro
This is soooo COOL !!!! They were all the way up in this Benson Classic. Respect !!!😍♥️💃
So cool, they play a lot of this stuff live. Last time they played "Dancing Queen" by Abba.

I’m not the biggest AC/DC fan, but this was sick! He’s got that crowd in the palm of his hand.
This is fake! This video was ripped from the Stiff Upper Lip live DVD, AC/DC is playing Let There Be Rock here, and you've pasted George Benson's On Broadway here as if AC/DC were playing this. So "extremely rare footage"? No, just fake! Extremely bad and a copyright infringement.
@@vlr2245the RUclipsr plays all this himself and overdubs it-that’s definitely fair use
I love this guy. He doesn’t have to use any fancy whammy bar, tricks or treats. Just straight on kick ass guitar playing.
This is brilliant and extremely well done. I'm not sure what led you to know "On Broadway" would work so perfectly for a parody, but great choice. How the tempos of your tracks and the footage match up so well along with your efforts of matching Angus' left hand position for the licks you're playing is genius.
Yeah those fretboard finger rolls near the end were spot on. Had me fooled until I got into the comments.
This is not a parody. It it a tribute and omage.
This song epitomizes the ups and downs, highs and lows that struggling, emerging musicians face when they put themselves up against the turbulent and hazardous waters that are the hard facts and cold shoulders in the industry.
They will be challenged to their limits, may be taken advantage of by greedy low lifes, and put to the test at every visible and unforeseen obstacle that gets thrown in their way.
They may achieve reaching "the glitter", or be beaten down by the pressures and take that Greyhound bus to home.
"On Broadway" tells the story with a few simple yet succinct verses.
Cementing together the elements that give it greatness are a heavy NYC vibe by way of tension without release, the strength of the composition and arrangement, the killer hook.
Do you know who actually played the guitar solo?
@@catintheb the guy who posted the video did

I reckon if they had actually played this exactly like this for real, at the right spot in the show, their crowd would've been fully into it. 🤘😎
So this is faked? Are you sure? I’m watching his hands and it doesn’t look fake. I hear the notes and watch his fingers. They sure seem to fit.
@@josephcebula2983
It's an excellent editing job.
But I'm 100% sure Angus isn't playing it.
Right even though Angus can and most likely is playing this; the sound and video are not the same.
@@josephcebula2983 No its totally fake
@@droptuned83 It might very well be, but the video might also be out of sync. It sounds kinda off, especially the fast descending legato runs. But still, he is obviously out of his mind on coke, so he just might have pulled it off
awsome and very well done!!!! would love to see the video where you where sitting in a studio and recording it.
The guy playing is great, and the fact he played his riff to the video makes him even better!
Thought how have I missed acdc playing this......then realised it was dubbed , , totally had me at first, well done 🤘👍
Best performance I've come across on youtube all year! Not a fan of this band, but maybe now I'll pay more attention to them.
They are musicians they will love all kinds of music ..love it
George Benson on Broadway is a Badd A$$ song and to hear AC/DC play this gives m a whole new respect for them !!! These guys are truly Musicians !!!

@@vlr2245 lighten up! IT IS FUNNY!
That's some killer playing. Hats off to whoever played this. Really great stuff!
Thanks ! 🙏🤘🎸
Well whoever is really playing is pretty damn good.
This was a great show. The footage doesn’t show it but this song was preceded by their take on “it started with a kiss” and “if I could turn back time.” It rocked!
😂
Do you belieeeeeve...?!?
I think they also did a version of ...I got u babe...and daydream believer...but that might have been Iron Maiden...I'll have to look it up
Wait, so this wasn't the same show where they did "I Need A Hero" by Bonnie Tyler?
Saw George Benson do this outdoors at Blossom Music center in Ohio in 1977. Minnie Ripperton opened. So great to hear this and it made me smile
AC/DC are the only band I have ever seen that can be on stage and play, sing, and give a show that you swear was like listening to a studio recording. They should be top 5 on anyone's list to see.
This is just too good. His phrasing, technique, and stamina are incredible!
🤣
I love this, i wish the boys would play this live that would great
ahhh they just did lol
Come on it’s a fake.
@@ERROL007 its not fake you fool
@@dirkdiggler6230 LOL you clearly haven't watched the video :-) They never played the song :-) Next you will be saying they played a Take That tune straight after :-)
I'm a massive GB fan, and Angus has done awesome! I love this :-) 😊 He makes it his own, but stays true to the spirit of the original. Amazing Talent!
Music is music, musicians are musicians, and a great song is a great song.
Incredible ! Love AC-DC and this version of "Broadway"
it's fake..

That stage is crazy, absolutely right on , wish I was there
I feel so dumb for not getting this was dubbed. I was like how could I have possibly missed this in all of my years of acdc obsession...I looked for other versions and all that...well, well done sir. Fun nonetheless and I would love to see a transcription or video of you doing this. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS REGARDLESS OF ITS ORIGIN. THANK YOU.
I swear that I thought it was real too...
I was smiling all the way to the end thinking what a great rendition; a heavy metal homage to George Benson! It wasn't until I read your comment that my smile became laughter. I still can't figure out how it was done so well.
Completely relatable. He’s so freaky good at mimicking Angus’ attack it had me for minute as I’d not seen his channel before. Then the brilliance set in once realized. I’d love to see Angus’ reaction to watching, I bet he’d appreciate it too! Master level talent at work here.
Now there's a man that just loves to play his guitar. One of the best.
Holy Shikkies!! I can’t believe my ears!! This is AAMMAAZZIINNGG! My sister turned me on to George in 1978, one of my best friends got me into
AC/DC in 1980! This is THE most unexpected mashups of all time!! Angus killed it Damn that was beautiful!
Love AC/DC and George Benson- so fun to see this!
So do I, but this is not George's song; George covered The Drifters, who hit with it first.
