In Australia also known as 'Its a long way to the shop if you want a Sausage roll'. In memory of Bon Scott this song has never been played Live since his death.

[@davet5756]

So true

[@shannonmccullough8324]

The story is that Bon came to Angus and Malcolm and said that he wanted to contribute to the song instrumentally. Bon and Malcolm were stunned, one of them asked, "What do you want to do? Do you play an instrument?" Bon goes, "I play bagpipes." Bon's dad was the director of the Highland Bagpipe Corps. By the way, it was Angus' and Malcolm's sister that came up with the idea of Angus wearing the school boy uniform on stage. They had tried other gimmicks before settling on that.

[@frankschlanker]

Guys the bagpipes are representing Angus, Malcolm and Bon's roots as they were all born in Scotland

[@rob7857]

The bon Scott years!! The best!! 👍

[@darrylhilbig6459]

Prefer the video version from 'Countdown' where they are all on the back of a flatbed truck. It is going down one of the main streets of Melbourne, Victoria with three Scots Bagpipers (in full regalia) backed up to the cabin of the truck so they can play whilst the vehicle is moving.

[@sburris65]

Me too.

[@tyraonortham6545]

Same here! Much better version! I watched an interview of Bon Scott's where he spoke of that day. He said that when the band first proposed it to the city, the city administrators said no, but they did it anyway. I love it!

[@tyraonortham6545]

@John Foxton no, he really means 3 Scottish men playing bagpipes. The rest of the band members were on the flat bed. The 3 bagpipes walked behind it.

[@tyraonortham6545]

@John Foxton oh!!! I'm sorry, I miss understood. Lol

[@scotty193]

I seen it in a double disc DVD called Family Jewels. Probably the best entertainment you can get from a music video going thru their classics.

[@phuckendeadly]

We used to play around with the song lyrics & sing "It's a long way to the shop if ya wanna sausage roll". Glad you enjoyed AC/DC, one of the most international bands of all time.

[@scotf7313]

There is a statue of Bonn in Kirriemuir (Scotland) where he was born ,the statue is of him with the bagpipes, Angus and Malcolm were also born in Scotland.

[@gdaym8635]

It's cute watching 30 year and younger people discovering something that was piled up next to our record player and headphones...my first of many Acdc albums was bought at Big K 4.99 blue light special..its good to be old😁💖🇺🇸

[@firesturmgaming]

That's not the only reason why Angus Young always wears that schoolboy uniform. Apparently when asked in an interview about it, he said his teacher told him he will never get anywhere in his life. So basically the uniform is a dig back at her.

[@niiloastrom2685]

Actually angus young's sister told him to wear his school uniform on stage because Angus didn't know what wear on stage.

[@flormartinez9291]

@@niiloastrom2685 yeah, and then one time he was running late to a show and didn't have time to change so the uniform just stuck

[@oojagapivy]

When I saw this reaction pop up, I thought "awesome!" I remember seeing a lot of their early appearances on shows like this and Countdown. I still love their official video clip version where they played on the back of a big flatbed truck down the streets of Melbourne. Thanks from Australia

[@mikebunner3498]

Speaking of the bagpipes. I have Scotch-Irish blood in me from my mothers side. So the pipes touch my soul!!! And Bon rocks on this song. There is a version of this song where they are in a city on a wagon. there are men marching behind them playing the pipes. They almost have to run to keep up. Later they are up on the wagon with the band!!!! his is a great video... Thank you all........

[@wasd007]

45 years on and it still gets you nodding your heads.

[@RolandDeschain1]

AC/DC have never performed this song live since Bon died, because it was his song.

[@Star-fc4ni]

I knew this stuff when I was a baby pushing myself out of the womb to get more ROCK! I still find it amazing that people haven't heard of the legendary bands or their songs. Are people under a rock? Open your ears and ROCK EVERYONE. You know what it took for me to even get to listen to Rock music! Buying the vinyl and holding it like a precious egg with a huge smile on my face. So eager to get home and lay that black disc down and watch it spin. The magazine stands and MTV told us so much. I would never trade it for anything! I can't forget killing my parents car battery so many time tuning into the rock stations. What a time period!

[@floodtech]

My wife sings this song in her band, I was so shocked she even put down her phone to watch this as I streamed it to our 75 inch TV

[@shayneramsay1388]

Bon Scott's mum made a point to attend their first show in Australia after Bon's death, she also spoke to Brian and basically told it is okay.

[@kyzan7113]

We have a bon Scott statue in my home town where he grew up, and a couple months ago we had a moving concert on the hwy he wrote the song “Highway to hell” about, was pretty cool

[@The_Mortis160]

I love both Bon Scott and Brian Johnston, they both brought their own singing style to AC/DC. They are one of the biggest if not the biggest band to come out of Australia and there is another clip of "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Want to Rock 'N' Roll)" where they road around the streets of Melbourne I believe on the back of a flat bed truck playing it live, I'll put the link at the bottom. defiantly should do more AC/DC maybe research some more Aussie singers/bands. Fun Fact: the bands name came from the plug on Angus Young's sisters sewing machine.

[@robin9876]

Never heard bagpipes sound so darn cool! Only Bon!

[@danielbuchanan1564]

That was amazing! That's a favorite ACDC song. Bon Scot shredding bagpipes. You said at the end, "You're welcome." I say thank you so very much. That's a rare find.

[@thaynebaxter5605]

Ya, I had never heard that he wore the school boy uniform right to practice other than this reaction video...his sister suggested it after many other outfits including a gorilla costume if I remember right...maybe some more research and "don't quote me on this" before schooling your son on this...otherwise fun for us who love AC/DC!

[@MrBdmfps9]

If you are coming to Scotland, you have to come to Kirriemuir. It's just north of Dundee, on the way to Aberdeen. About 10 miles away from where I live. There is a statue of Bon, as it's his home town. Holding his bagpipes. It's a bit of a pilgrimage for AC/DC fans.

I believe that this clip is from an AC/DC performance on ABC TV AUSTRALIA COUNTDOWN, filmed at the Ripponlea Studios in Melbourne, Australia. But you missed out on showing the best version of this song, filmed on the back of a flatbed truck going down Swanston St Melbourne past the Town Hall and down St Kilda Rd towards the Shrine of Remembrance. You really need to check out that version. Melbourne boy here.

[@robcurrie1826]

Absolutely fabulous band, growing up in Australia in the 70’s was incredible- so many classic rock bands, and AC/DC RULED - Loveya Bon 🤘🤘

[@terajules7891]

the A on the school outfit hat is for Ashfield High School where Angus went to school in Sydney Australia, though he never completed school he left at age 15 to play in his brother's band, Malcom and Angus rocked it , Malcolm Mitchell Young was an Australian musician who was the co-founder, rhythm guitarist, backing vocalist and songwriter of the hard rock band AC/DC. Except for a brief absence in 1988, he was a member of AC/DC from its inception in 1973 until retiring in 2014 due to health reasons and died in 2017. Angus McKinnon Young( the well know Australian Guitarist in AC/DC who does ten-minute solos) is an Australian musician, best known as the co-founder, lead guitarist, songwriter, and the only remaining founding member of the hard rock band AC/DC. He is known for his energetic performances, schoolboy-uniform stage outfits, and his own version of Chuck Berry's Duckwalk

[@alphaomega7191]

I loved seeing Daryl Somers at the end - that guy spent most of his career being upstaged by a Pink Ostrich. He actually had a long career as a tv variety host starting out on Childrens TV and ending up with the same Ostrich Puppet offsider hosting a Saturday Night Variety Show that definitely was going way over kids heads. If you ever get a chance check out some Skyhooks like Women in Uniform or Horror Movie - they were around the same era as AC/DC and had some truly ground breaking stuff that still holds up pretty well.

That host is Darryl Summers from hey hey its saturday on Australian TV, he wore pink to match Qzzie his pink ostrich cohost. This is a dubbed performance. The best version is the live one they did on the back of a truck for countdown in melbourne. I saw them in 1974 at hordern pavillion Australia Angus was 16.At that time angus played real fast but didnt pay attention to the sound between notes and lacked soul. ACDC is an Australian band formed from scottish immigrants who came to Australia as little kids and formed maybe Australia's greatest band "the easy beats" . ACDC were formed from members of the same family and most of ACDCs songs were written by vander and young from the easybeats

loved it. It's the boys like I saw them back in '75 in our local town hall ...and it only cost $3 bucks to get in. The last time I saw them (without Bon) it cost $148 and I think the first time was still the best. They rocked hard and played loud and I was 15 and loving it.

[@robertwilloughby8050]

Bon was brought up in Kirriemuir in Angus, at least until his parents emigrated to Austraila when he was 6. Fun Occurance:- there's an actor called Enn Reitel, who, despite his name, was a fellow Angus lad. Enn decided to try his luck as an actor in Austraila in the late 70's. Bon, who'd never met him before, found out on the grapevine what was happening, met Enn at Sydney Airport, offered to put him up, and the two proceeded to get merrily pissed.....

one reason Bon may have been holding the bagpipes was that when they put them down on the stage floor, people would try to pinch them! i believe the bagpipes ended up in many pieces after a crowd westle over them.

Bon Scott took lessons in Oz to learn the bagpipes, and probably played it in the studio reording of this song. I don't want to burst anybody's bubble , but I suspect that there is a lot of 'miming' to the song going on here. I'm sure he is not actually playing them in this clip.

[@pettee1979]

OMG. Darryl Sommers hosting!!!!!! Original host was Brian Henderson. Darryl Sommers was getting big at the time and they may've got him to host, as he was only 25 at the time, and Brian would've been around 50 years old. Darryl Sommers was the host of Hey Hey It's Saturday, which stated in 1971 and ended in 1998. Originally a Saturday morning program for kids, it evolved through the years to become a Saturday evening show for the whole family. Came back around 2010 for a revival, but only lasted one year. Darryl then went onto hosting Dancing with the Stars Australia for a few years. Owns Sommers Carroll productions.
