AC/DC- Rocker [Live in Colchester, England, Oct. 28, 1978] (Pro Shot)

[@DG-sf9ei]

Like the stage setup, just a wall of amplifiers and drums, no thrills or pompus crap. Rock n roll in it's purest form by these guys

Methinks by the end of this epic, sweaty, sleazy distillation of pure rock n' roll, the punters walked away that nite with a pretty good idea that they'd seen something almost religiously transcendent. This show rock n' roll at its finest; a religious epiphany for the Godless rebels & misfits everywhere. It's a thing of rare Beauty. 🦃⚡🎸💥😵🦃

Hiring Cliff to play bass was a brilliant move on Mal's part. He - Cliff - made the whole thing ultra-tight.

[@Leon.16]

Cliff is just perfect for AC/DC. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Mark Evans but Cliff is just way more technical and tight. Even Mark himself has said that Williams was the right guy for the band.

So Cliff left the Shadows for these then?

[@djrmonix]

Live Wire Its so fat it almost sounds like 2 guitars playing!!

[@charlieharper886]

Malcolm ALWAYS had a badass guitar tone. When I listen to AC/DC, more often than not I seem to find myself focusing more on Malcolm and that rock solid rhythm. Angus is good and he and Bon were always the life of the show, but Malcolm was the true driving force behind AC/DC. It was HIS band.

[@cockroach5717]

@@charlieharper886 It was both angus and malcolm's band. They both created it.

[@Perko1775]

@False Email Both of them always sounded awesome. I’m just more of a Malcolm fan. It’s a unique sound in my opinion. And the two of them both had their own tone. But together they make one big great guitar, still being able to tell them apart of course.

[@cockroach5717]

@Bad Boys Boogie Yea no doubt it was Malcolm's idea to make a band, but he chose Angus for a reason. It was both Angus and Malcolm's child to raise. It's like Malcolm had a baby without a mother and chose Angus to be the fun uncle of it. That's what Angus is, the fun uncle, and Malcolm is the working father. He knew Angus could play lead like no one else, and could not have found a better lead player if he tried. AC/DC wouldn't be what it is without Angus at all. As you and me have seen, they have survived without Phil or Cliff, but would not ever be the same without Malcolm and Angus. It is both their band, not just Malcolm's or Angus. Stevie does a great job playing the rhythm guitar, but I doubt he could come up with a riff as good as Malcolm could. That just proves it ain't the same without Malcolm. Power up was just a bunch of riffs Malcolm and Angus worked on between Stiff Upper Lip and Black Ice. I doubt when they run out of those riffs in between those years, that they'll keep going or make anything half as good, unless Angus really watched Malcolm.. and kept how he made riffs in his memory.. In Malcolm's words, "Angus is a hot player".

[@joshualenton7829]

[@mercyhowls2688]

I was born in '76, so I missed the Bon years sadly. When I saw AC/DC live for the first time, on The Razor's Edge tour, it was a religious experience. I was literally in ecstasy from the start of the show until the very end. Then, for my 15th birthday I got this concert film on VHS. I would watch it over and over in awe. It still blows me away. Best live band ever. They were pure electricity.
