Brian's voice here is just so brutal and awesome.

[@vancerodewalt1710]

Brian is awesome in this!! ❤

[@blacki1958]

May be the most underrated AC/DC song ever. This live version just nails it. Love it.

[@rayoconnor8353]

Your not wrong there brother

[@harrybinchy8718]

Cliff Williams is the most underrated bassist ever! He's a machine. For me ac DC wouldn't be the same without him! I would name all his good baselines but I don't wanna name every song since Powerage! Cliff the best!

[@SpaceDefender]

He's mostly under-rated by jealous bass players that will never be creating such music in such a band in front of such a crowd.

[@LuciRosseTV]

everyone is perfect in this band

[@crazyman6655]

Down payment blues is probaly the best song his bass was in

[@crazyman6655]

Or high voltage

One of AC/DC's most underrated songs of all time

@James Hammon yup this is my favorite version of this song..that solo is worth a couple of replays.

[@nestor1982]

One of the best songs of acdc. In top 10.

AC/DC underrated songs - Hard as a rock - Hail ceasar - That's the way i wanna rock n roll - Who made who - Touch too much - Ride on - Satellite blues - Beating around the bush - Night prowler - Jailbreak - Are you ready? - Moneytalks - Rocker - Bad boy boogie - The entire Fly on the wall album

[@conorsmith7009]

Agreed but hail ceaser gets my foot a thumpin!

[@sjcsiba]

Malcolm's guitar sounds so HEAVY here, it almost sounds like a grand piano.

[@captainsar]

Maybe you should just clean all that ear wax out of your ears

[@minthang1372]

I means sjcsiba is not wrong

[@matiasalejandro9175]

Is true, he use really heavy strings so it sounds really fat

[@pogmothoin7133]

@@captainsar that's a compliment not an insult

[@dimitriosmalatches5522]

He uses 12 gauge strings that’s why it’s so heavy all the time

[@seanvanbelkom]

That scream from Malcolm Young at 3:28 gives me chills every time i watch it😍. Best rythym guitarist ever

[@jailbreak_7944]

He was superb there. What a performance he did there.

[@Rogue-bh4ds]

No Angus?

[@BradyB21]

RogueDawg its me! ANGUS IS THE SOUL OF AC/DC

[@sykesknife3950]

This is absolutely perfect! Listen to the guitars, listen to how in sync they are right from the start. Now listen to Brian, listen how in sync he is to the guitar. Now listen to the base, and how perfect it is, now hear and feel the drums and how it’s driving the song but wouldn’t have the feel without the base. The base is the heart and sole with Malcolms heart pumping it all together. Then theres Angus being life and flow and everything this song is.... amazing. Don’t forget, this is live.

[@jailbreak_7944]

From my point of view this is the best concert with Brian as singer.

[@nilz23]

I saw them a few years after this I think The Stiff Upper Lip tour and they were awesome. You could tell Brian's voice was getting a little worn out but he never stopped screaming his fucking head off for the whole hour plus. I don't know how he didn't just drop dead after every concert.

[@AutisticBeautyQueen]

It sounds just as good as it does on the CD. I remember when I heard this song as a kid. I take it you have heard the new one? Power up?

[@theoneandonlyhorst]

Don't forget the Backing Vocals that change after the bridge to propel the song into its climax. Plain perfection.

[@runewold4456]

Agree the best live band ever

[@Roccoforte]

Phil is a real drum monster, he’s pounding it like no tomorrow ⚡️✊

[@A.A1995]

This song is a great example of the band's fantastic rhythm section man, TIGHT. Phill and Cliff; they really let just enough room for Angus and Malcolm to stick out and do their thing while keeping everything together. Perfect, not overdoing it... really excellent bass and drums.

[@thekid9152]

Knowing what I know now this wasn’t just the Ballbreaker Tour, this was AC/DC’s “Reunion” Tour. Phil Rudd came back after over a decade away and this was one of their most dramatic stage tours to date. One of the most iconic up until the Black Ice tour in my opinion. I could go on and on but this will be the tour that brought back AC/DC’s sound.

[@RockDistortoBestiale]

Amen to that!

[@thekid9152]

@@RockDistortoBestiale my only regret is they didn’t celebrate more of the 80’s since then. They did great celebrating Bon. Touch Too Much, Live Wire, Rock N Roll Damnation, Bad Boy Boogie, If You Want Blood, and so on, but with the exception of Noise Pollution and What Do You Do For Money Honey on the stiff upper lip tour- I would’ve loved to hear Who Made Who which started my AC/DC Binge, as well as songs from Flick of The Switch or Fly on The Wall, or even Blow Up Your Video. I could make a setlist of what they should play now but having said that I’m glad AC/DC is still trying. This or the next could very well be the Farewell Tour, I hope they come to their senses on their old stuff.

[@MyatHtoo]

there will never ever be a hard rocking band as AC/DC ever again!!!!! They made your heart pump so fast... you thought it would burst!!!! And the adrenaline rush from the music alone could revive an unconscious person!!!!!!!

When this first came out, from the first flam Phil hit on the snare I said what'd I miss??? That's Phil on drums! I never knew he was back in the band and I thought this was just a song I'd missed from the past. Then I looked at the CD cover and saw it was him. I thought wow all is right with the world again.

[@hans-petermuller9457]

Seen them twice on this tour. They were absolutely locked in. Best concerts i've been to. Sheer groove and power.

[@BuddyTubeTelevison]

Yep

[@JamesvanHest]

The thing I love about AC/DC is that they make me feel like I've been friends with them for years, even though I haven't met them. I feel like I'm having a conversation with them when I watch stuff like interviews even though I've never been able to say anything to them. They always puts a smile on my face and make me happy, ever since I first got into AC/DC before I could walk. thank you AC/DC. You've inspired me as a 17 year old to pick up my guitar, microphone, drums and bass and give it my best shot to make more rock n roll in the world.

They seriously have so much energy for their ages at this show! They never age when on the stage (metaphorically speaking of course). Like they are in their 40’s here, how many 40 years do you know who can headbang for 2 hours straight and play the blues like he sold his soul to the devil with Robert Johnson?!? Only a few are nearly as successful for as long of a career as AC/DC!

if Phil hit those drums any harder he would start a goddamn earthquake!!

[@dejulesb7063]

[@minthang1372]

[@kenrobinson1868]

This whole gig seems almost gladiatorial, ac/dc have always fascinated in how their live versions are more often than not the definitive versions of their songs. These guys weren't just playing music, they were rocking for the audience, giving their physical essence for the crowd. sounds wanky yea yea but how can you listen to this and not feel the total commitment of the boys? It's inspiring to me!

[@mikebrock4491]

I had to listen very carefully to hear who's scream that is every chorus. I came to the conclusion that it was Cliff and not Malcolm. With some headphones I could distinctly hear Malcolm on the left and the chilling chorus scream from Cliff on the right.

[@lucalapaglia3941]

Malcolm has a very distinct sour voice, easily recognizable

[@NickSelfridge]

I nearly shed a tear when I see those people jumping to the music and screaming the lyrics. So touching, so wonderful, so... rock'n'roll. Looks like there was something more than just adoration. Everyone looked different. Not just like fans, but like one big family.
