If you want to be "wow'd" by a crowd and what it must be to be a Rock Star, or more accurately, a Rock god.... Check out Enter Sandman by Metallica in 1991 when they went to Russia.... Un-freakin-believable!!!!

[@Gr8Buccaneer]

keep in mind Maggie,the first 2 songs you watched,were official VIDEOS from 1980.THIS is 29 years later,LIVE and they all sound and act like before!!

With the exception that this was a Bon Scott song, but Brian still rocks it.

[@terryweir8352]

Hi Maggie, This was from Live at River Plate in Argentina from 2009, lead singer Brian Johnson was 62 years old here, he's now 75 years old and still performing today in 2023 with AC/DC, lead guitarist Angus Young was 54 years old here, he's now 68 years old and also still with AC/DC, as is bassist Cliff Williams, now 73 and drummer Phil Rudd, now 68 years old, The song itself was released in 1979 and is a Bon Scott song, I've seen them 3 times, Monsters of Rock, Donington, England in 1992, Munich in 2000 and Hampden Park, Glasgow, Scotland in 2015, where I'm from, they are unbelievable live, nobody can touch them!! 😀 😀 The rhythm guitarist in the video is Malcolm Young, Angus's older brother, who very sadly passed away in 2017 aged 64, due to dementia 🙏🙏 RIP Malcolm Young, 1953 - 2017 🙏 🙏

[@MichaelLynch1]

Brian hasn't performed with AC/DC since 2016 , rumours they are playing a one off show this year in Indio California at a festival with other huge Rock Acts, this will probably not happen due to illness and inactivity , shame cos I would go 100% I've seen em 48 times mostly from 77 - 82 AC/DC ❤💯🔥🎸😈

@Wallabit you my friend were at one of their best shows ever , definitely in AC/DC's Top 5 shows of All Time , it is The Boys at their most Ferocious and Wild, Rockin it Hard , so glad they captured that show on film , it is One of The Greatest Live Rock Shows Ever , and you were there 😀 😈🎸💯🔥

[@scupperdog9343]

It was originally Bon Scott who sung the studio version but Brian kept the legacy going. Speaking of Bon Scott, check out "Let there be Rock". Awesome reaction again!

[@danleo6837]

yup, this first version of Highway to Hell ought to be from Highway to Hell (1979)

[@Uli_Krosse]

This live album is legendary. It was recorded in Estadio Monumental, the home venue of cult football club CA River Plate in Buenos Aires. Hence "Live at River Plate". The crowd there is absolutely stellar and these are easily AC/DCs best live recordings. The vibe, the energy, the sheer raw joy is something else, I wish I had been in this crowd. There are more absolute classics in this concert series. You really should do Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Whole Lotta Rosie and especially You Shook Me All Night Long.

[@mikenolan8044]

Totally LOVED seeing you react to this for the first time! AC/DC is among the best bands in the history of rock and its many children. Probably the best metal band ever. And this is what is almost their signature song delivered in an ultra high energy live version. It does not get much better than this. Ever. 🤘🤘🤘

[@maggiereneemusic]

So glad you enjoyed! Thank you! 🤘😉🤘

[@crbr1432000]

Great reaction again. Just a quick FYI if you didn't already know. Highway to Hell was the nickname for the Canning Highway in Australia. It runs from where lead singer Bon Scott lived in Fremantle and ends at a pub/bar called The Raffles, which was a big rock 'n roll drinking hole in the 70's. As Canning Highway gets close to the pub, it dips down into a steep decline. " No stop signs...speed limits...nobody gonna slow me down." So many people were killed by driving fast over that intersection at the top of the hill on the way for a good night out that it was called The Highway to Hell. "Ain't nothing I would rather do. Going down, party time, my friends are gonna be there too." So much controversy over this song for years and it really isn't what people assumed in so many ways that it was. Thanks again.

[@phreak811]

Also I really need you to see them do For Those About To Rock LIVE! So AWESOME!

[@ingobordewick6480]

Now please do the original version of this song with Bon Scott on vocals. You will also love it and see why Brian was the perfect replacement you can think of.

[@diegrinder6851]

[@robertday8890]

AC DC WAS THE BEST CONCERT I HAVE EVER SEEN!!

[@jmetallover]

River Plate 2009 is one of the best Live shows this MATURE group ever put on so stick with this show. The opener Rock & Roll train is another banger and the crowd is lit from the start. This crowd over 3 nights jumped so much they damaged buildings next to the venue, so much so they banned shows after this!!! Anything from this show is great so pick and go. Saw them LIVE 4 times and as we say with AC/DC, you are deaf for days, hoarse for a week and exhausted for weeks after going to a show. Love the reactions to truly one of the legends. Lovebites, Nightwish, Sabaton, Jethro Tull and AC/DC will never disappoint.

[@DSWilkes]

You should react to A Whole Lot of Rosie from the same concert. This was Bon Scott's song, so I recommend finding a video of Bon singing it for comparison..

[@Raven5150]

In 91 they played the monsters of rock festival in castle donington in England that crowd is massive there are plenty of videos of that performance online

[@randomchord]

I just watched a Juliard-trained opera singer turn into Animal from the Muppets. Awesome! The power of Angus. I’ve been a fan for 45 years. May I humbly suggest something off of Dirty Deeds? Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. Ain’t No Fun Waiting Round To Be A Millionaire. Oh Ooohh!! Big Balls. Definitely listen to Big Balls. 😂🍻😎 Welcome to the club, kid. Greatest rock band of all time!!!

[@ricklee4884]

You should check out Bon Scott stuff like ACDC Dirty Done Dirt Cheep or TNT it is alot of their 70s up to 1980. Touch To Much, Jail Break, Night Prawler, Long Way To The Top, and many more.

[@RubenRodriguez-qh2dx]

You need to do the version with the original singer of this song, Bon Scott, the first singer for AC/DC

[@roymauler]

If you are going to listen to a Bon-era song, you should definitely listen to the Bon version as well as the Brian version. I like them both, but they are very different. The Bon stuff is their best work to me.

[@babaoriley1971able]

You should also check Whole Lotta Rosie Live in Paris 1979, to get an idea of Bon Scott's vocal range.

I was at this show in Buenos Aires, Argentina. at the River Plays Stadium. It was the biggest and best show I've seen in my entire life.

This song is about Canning Hwy which is a road that links Fremantle where Avon Scott lived and Perth. Canning Hwy stops at the Raffles and then there is a steep incline where divers would die if they lost control of their vehicles.

[@utilityaccount1954]

Picked up a Back in Black CD before an afternoon at the water park. Smooches raised an eybrow when she saw me slip it in to the player and I slowly turned up the volume through the tolling of Hell's Bells. Maxed out and with the armrests vibrating I looked in the rearview to see Thing One (8-ish years old) on airdrums and Thing Two (say 6) on air drums. When my wife turned around to look at them "Don't worry mommy. It's not loud. It's rock and roll!"

[@williamknipp2858]

They did 3 shows in 3 days at River Plate with each show having about 90,000 fans at each show

[@paulb4604]

The biggest band in the world. I believe they are the top selling music artist of all time. Could be wrong but I don't think so. Even I, a kid who wasn't really into "metal" or hard rock when I was growing up in the 1970s, even I couldn't escape the tentacles of ACDC. They have such a deep catalog Maggie. Plenty of great songs to listen to.

Maggie Renee!!! ...... 2 words for you ....... Bon Scott. The next AC/DC song you review really should have Bon Scott as the singer. May I recommend "Let There Be Rock" (Official Video). Early AC/DC, recorded in 1977 in a church. Great Bon Scott and crazy good Angus guitar solo.

Big AC/DC fan way back in the 70's. Had all of their albums. But sadly, the first time I get to see them live was seven months after Bon died in 1980. He died Feb. and I saw them Sept., just a couple of months after the release of Back in Black.

[@wallabit]

I loved it that in the title you wrote "first time WATCHING..." You see other people doing video reactions with titles like "first time hearing Enter Sandman" and... come on!!!! Do you expect us to believe that you have NEVER heard, not even by accident, a song that has been played every day in radio for like the last 30 years or so... Thanks for the honesty. Also, I love your style. Great video!

[@jimspetdragons3737]

The horns are on the album cover. Bon Scott was the original singer for this song. Check out that classic version. You Shook Me All Night Long is my fav.

Bon Scott died in 1980. So look for some videos. It was before he passed away to see what he sounded like. I really love bon scott's songs "touch too much" and "walk all over you".

[@ajruther67]

Hey y'all for those who don't know .... AC/DC will be performing this fall in Southern CA *ONLY* at Power Trip. It's where Coachella is usually held. You better have money though because the tickets start at $299 for the cheapest seats. Ozzy, Metallica, Tool and Guns N Roses and some other bands will also be there.

The River Plate show is legendary (I think it was 3 days if I recall). The crowd is ELECTRIC. Whole Lotta Rosie, Let There Be Rock, The Jack from this concert are 10/10.

It was their biggest concert, 3 days and audience of 200k people

[@animalyze7120]

Original version was performed with Bon Scott before he passed, this is River Plat decades later with Brian Johnson on the mike. Still one of the biggest crowds aside from Metallica's Russian concert with over 2 million people, this concert was just shy of 300k if I remember the numbers correctly. Great reaction and Welcome to the AC/DC Family!

[@matthewcharles5867]

ACDC and motley crue also preformed at that Russian concert.

[@hi1hi2hi]

You should definitely watch High way to hell live 1979 with Bon Scott the original singer for AC DC and maybe a comparison of Bon and Brian. 😊

[@hayneshvac2]

You should check out "You Shook Me", I absolutely love ACDC. I remember when I was young I couldn't stand them, but as time has matured my perception, I learned that I love this band. Thank you for reacting to them, it brings back so many memories.

[@steveh7108]

They were finally known as the Thunder from Down Under. Hence the song they made later in their career that you have been "Thunderstruck"

[@gruditch]

Try "Shoot to Thrill" or "For those about to rock" from the same concert.

[@785boats]

By the age of 16 my son was an incredible guitarist. When he left school he had a couple of bands, & then joined an AC/DC tribute band. He played the driving rhythm guitar of Angus' brother, Malcome. The other guys were much older seasoned rockers. As Sam was too young to be in pubs & clubs, I had to be at their shows. Sort of like an old roadie. And cart all his gear around in the old wagon. A great way to relive my rockin' youth. Such great times listening & FEELING them practice under our house. The neighbours learned all about the music of AC/DC. They were a great band. The singer could nail the voice of both Brian Johnson, & Bonn Scott. The guitarist that played Angus was every bit as good as the real deal. If you stood at the back of the club & closed your eyes... you were listening to AC/DC.

[@sinisadovijanic]

young generations must learn about real music. this is one of the ways

[@ackerjawaka4742]

Listening to if you want blood really did change my life and even now after nearly 50 years i still get the tingles up my spine when I'm listening to the build up on riff raff.

[@AndyViant]

Stuff like "Whole lotta Rosie" is hard to cover today. A lot of blues rock is not acceptable from a PC standpoint in 2023. It's fine to accept them as a product of their time and enjoy them but to actively promote them now faces a lot of extra barriers that didn't exist almost 50 years ago. It's sexist, misogynist, phatphobic and blah blah blah... Personally was never a huge fan of that song for those reasons and more. No band with a lifespan of AC/DC is gonna be on the good side of the ledger that long, and lets be frank they never even tried to be on that side in the first place, in fact they chose the darker side. I was cool with that, but it had a wider audience within the subgenre than it and in the mainstream (ex outlaw bikie here btw, still got a Harley and various erm accoutrements). There's probably gonna be a new label soon for "biker rock" or "outlaw blues rock" to cover bands like this. Buy the CD's give them the credit that they're due and be happy knowing you own that slice of history forever. As Queen would say "Nothing lasts forever, anyone can see, nothing lasts forever, unless you buy it on... CD".

[@ackerjawaka4742]

@@AndyViant i know what you mean, whole lotta rosie is probably my least favourite track on the album, I've heard it far too many times, i actually skip it along with hell ain't a bad place to be which I think was the b side of the single.

And yes, Angus always wears a School boy outfit and sometimes he takes his shirt off. He wears it because when his brothers were practicing, he would get off of school and have to run home and change, and they told him just to leave his school uniform on and play guitar, so it just became a thing with the band that he played with his uniform on . His sister told him that he should incorporate it into the band so he did His sister also named the band .. she saw AC/DC on the side of a sewing machine and thought it sounded cool and told her brothers.
