AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (Sound check, Sydney 2015)

[@ericynot]

First time I've ever seen Angus play the guitar while standing in one place. I've always wondered it that was even possible :)

[@aguyinasuit7268]

So true

So sad no one came to their gig. I think they'll make it if they keep trying. That guitar player needs to put on a schoolboy uniform and move around more and entertain the crowd. At least that's what I would do.

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

Yep, worth a try

[@peterfairley5425]

drop his pants as well. plus its not loud enough, perhaps a bell and some canons might work

[@jugglingembalmer]

Hell, if nothing else works, the tiny guitarist may as well try doing a funny Chuck Berry duck walk and then maybe twirl around on the floor like he’s swallowed jet fuel. What’ve they got to lose. They’ve obviously invested too much in gear to stop now.

[@gzz8551]

I love that Brian is dancing around during a soundtrack. And this was at the peak of his hearing problems. Respect.

[@BluesLicks101]

Absolutely LOVE this band, some of the greatest rock and roll of all time!

[@biffmalibu9488]

The one thing that sticks out to me watching this, is how much AC/DC still love playing. Angus, minus his usual stage antics, is just jamming to himself. So cool to see that side of him. And then Brian taunting Angus to sing is great to see. They're still having fun. Thanks for posting!!

[@parisgeorgiades6598]

Even their sound test is better than most live songs of a lot bands The most hard working band in the world

[@jackmomma7481]

I don't know about that... them being the hardest working band. After Razors Edge in 1991, they took MANY extended breaks, the longest one running from 2000 to 2008. Part of me thinks that after Razors Edge, developing good and usable material was probably becoming more and more difficult to come up with. In fact, I think that can be traced as far back as 1983 when Flick Of The Switch was made and how Angus and Malcolm started trying their hands at producing, You can tell a very big difference in those albums made from 1983 up until The Razors Edge. Don't get me wrong, I do love those albums. But it's evident that they exhausted their very best material on Let There Be Rock, Powerage, Highway To Hell, Back In Black, and For Those About To Rock. Mutt Lange simply came in at the right time when they were laying all that stuff down. I think it was all good timing and luck in his favor, an not some kind of special powers that he had that made the albums eht they are with his name on them. But everyone hails him as the reason they're so good. George Young could have been just as effective and cost much less rs Edge was much to a corporate commercial

Things like this is what makes life so great and tolerable.. Thank you!!

[@ECPA1983]

What an awesome sound system

[@ClassyOldMusic]

I read in a book about how to get your own guitar "sound", and I believe I heard also, maybe, in an Angus interview that AC/DC didn't use any pedals or such. The book showed examples of how other Super Star guitarists had their pedals setup... some had many pedals and other junk laid out on boards... and then the book had an entry for AC/DC that said just: "None." (Ha!)

[@geetarguy777]

sound check --> better than any performance ill ever be a part of in my life

I have seen them 2 time. Once in 2015 and once in mid eighties!! And I’d pay the same amount to watch this one sound check !!! Freaking reason I play guitar and love music, is because of these guys right here.

[@safstar0184]

[@hunterwest54]

I mean in terms of who did it best, loudest, most albums, most powerful raw performances, best fans, album sales, one of the greatest guitar players ever, two of the best frontmen ever, crazy story, paid their dues, and in 2020put out a new album that held number 1 on the charts for months..... Yea I'd say by those terms and standards NOBODY has ever even came close to ACDC. There are other great bands yes. But this band is the epitome of Rock N Roll. Period. I love the Stones, but they are more of the old school old school rock. To me that's not rock n roll. To me it was too fresh to be as good as Rock eventually became. It was awesome don't get me wrong. I love many bands and artists from that time. But ACDC took all of that and put it toward what would become the most authentic powerful sound in Rock N Roll... No bs. Just Rock N Roll. They never altered. They never failed. They never once let us down. That's the most Rock N Roll story anyone could ever tell ✌🖤🤘🌹

[@marvelharris9540]

[@crosslink1493]

Anybody want to guess how many of those Marshall cabinets are real speaker cabinets? My guess is none. Those are usually for show, they just use the bases and amp heads you see on either side of the drum stand then feed that into the big speaker arrangements visible at 0:32 hanging above the sides of the stage (and I'm sure a few others elsewhere). Anyway, great sound. I wonder if they play any 'covers' of other bands' tunes during the sound check just for some variety.

[@FrothingFanboy]

All the speaker cabs are real and on. Angus does not use in-ear monitors and uses the entire stage, so he needs full coverage. The band's amp tech explains all in this episode of Rig Rundown: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGamaHqBfN18eck And since this is the umpteenth time it's been suggested that they're fake, I'm pinning that video.
