AC/DC - LIVE VH1 Studios, London, July 5, 1996 (Full Concert, HD - 50 Fps)

[@tomscotland]

This gig is Brian’s ‘Atlantic Studios’. Exact same vibe, same tight raw power.

Gone Shootin' is such a great song. It really deserves a lot more airplay than some of their other songs.

So Ian Paice and Roger Glover are chopped liver?

[@timwaterman7790]

IMHO Malcolm was the best ‘rhythm guitarist of his time. It was openly discussed and talked about by Angus that Malcolm was the better guitar player of the 2. Love this band so fucking much.

[@timwaterman7790]

My Gawd what a phenomenal version of Down Payment Blues. There’ll never be another Bon Scott but this is just outstanding.

[@southflorida4life930]

How badass is this band? Never gets old

[@roadhammer681]

Best band ever!!!

[@rossbarlow6355]

And here we are 25 years later, still listening to this hypnotic, driving rock n roll that would shame many of todays bands. Loud and gutsy, Malcolm standing there ripping out riffs and rhythms that sound simple but are only accomplished by a genius, Angus feeding off Malcom, ripping and tearing at his guitar, Cliff frantically laying down a hectic bass and Phil driving them all with his amazing drumming. And Brian screeching out vocals like only he can. ACDC still set the standard.

Man hearing Brian singing these old Bon tunes is amazing. Brian is so different to Bon, personality wise and vocally, but they both work to perfection as frontmen of AC/DC.

Just goes to show that no matter how big or small the stage, AC/DC could tear it up with their pure no bullshit rock n roll... and what a powerhouse drummer Phil Rudd is...RESPECT!!🤘👊

[@jonizefox]

Best views ever on Malcolm's playing ! 👌 Stereo separation of the Young bros is top notch. Malm's sound on Gone Shootin 13:49, Down Payment Blues is nothing but priceless. 😍Malcolm power 3:35 5:06 5:56 6:34 10:23 12:01 (feels gooooooooooood on every break whatever the song) 20:06 22:43 26:08 27:04 27:48 29:54⚡30:16 30:47 31:13 32:08 32:19 32:32 38:18 42:47 44:07 45:00 48:16 48:46 53:28 53:42 55:06 55:43 & 56:49 (downstroke attack !?) 58:45

[@chriscampbell9191]

Yeah, Malcolm definitely nailed his famous tone at this show, very ballsy and clangy, like the first few albums. When he hits the high E and D chords in Gone Shootin' the amp really growls. Very cool. Wonder which amp he was using. He used Marshall Super Bass amps early on. Possibly here, too.

[@chriscampbell9191]

Mal was a genius. Who needs gain when you can just beat the hell out of the guitar?

[@steviesteve750]

They were right at the peak around this time as a live band. Telepathic timing, it's a veritable full on aural assault of such power and harmony. There has ever been, and unlikely ever be any 5 musicians as good together as the DC.

No doubt man. I actually liked the mid-90s and late '90s AC/DC music they did. I thought Razor's Edge, and Ball Breaker where some of their best shit ever!

[@rodwilliams4170]

Because they rehearse, rehearse, rehearse until Malcolm is satisfied that they’ve nailed it!!

[@playaveli]

Wish this was released on vinyl... and official DVD/Blueray obviously! A crime it hasn't been... This is the absolute gem of the Johnson era.

[@jurgencuypers8350]

96 was a good era for the band, imo, ballbreaker is a killer album

[@RGK93]

And THE TOUR! For me No Bull is their best filmed show along with Live at River Plate.

[@steve-bk1qd]

Didn't know that Brian and Bon were mates. What happened to Bon was an absolute tragedy but it's great that the baton was passed to another awesome singer. AC/DC are the best rock 'n' roll band in the world.

[@yearginclarke]

Don't ever give up. If you do, and come back to it later, it will be much harder than if you maintain a baseline of simple practice from time to time. It doesn't have to be every single day, just keep up with it now and then, as long as you don't go without playing for months/years at a time. If you fall completely out of it, it's SO much harder to get back into it from my experience. Especially as we age and lose the energy and passion for it like we used to have. (considering most of us have busy lives with work etc.)
