AC/DC - Nervous Shakedown live 1983 tour rehearsal

[@stefanocugno8638]

Malcom missing a chord at 1:49 and smiling... priceless!

[@kenlawrence3841]

That's what is so good with LIVE music , the click & missed cords , love it loud & live

[@brandonthompson8411]

Even the most expensive, well-groomed dogs have fleas!!!!!

[@edipus1972]

Love it !

[@mkeysou812]

Until watching this I've never really appreciated how much of AC/DC's sound is driven by Cliff

[@brandonthompson8411]

it was a rhythm driven band, the whole sound is based upon Malcolm's rhythm which is complimented with the bass line and obviously the drums, the timing is what makes AC/DC so good at what they do. Angus played on or around that rhythm/timing and it really made a distinct sound.

[@musicffan1863]

Poor Cliff never gets any love 💝

[@joshpitts7256]

Ummm MALCOLM..

[@MrHarleyddd]

fuck its the 23-9-2019 , im still rocking to this shit, whos with me, party on

[@tiddlesa.6125]

I heard thunder today and I knew it was Malcom up there tuning ‘The Beast’. RIP mate.

[@lukekasten]

Flick of the Switch. Quite possibly the MOST underrated AC/DC album, along with Powerage.

[@nuckingfuts6913]

HEAR HEAR!!

[@c.a.g1457]

and fly on the wall too..

[@BingaBangoBongo]

Definitely!!

[@Lagerfeld2008]

AC/DC has no bad Album

[@RidinOnABigCog]

add ballbreaker to that list. althought most classic lineup fans will say powerage or dirty deeds is their best effort..

[@TMoody]

The greatest rock n' roll band ever and a KILLER record.

[@acdcfan7486]

The Best Song on this Album

[@BingaBangoBongo]

Along with BAAAADLANDS

[@1ufcfanatic795]

My fav too!!

[@Pablogerman93]

Landslide!!!

[@RogerSteinbrinkh2oBrother]

Love the magic goin' on between Mal, & Angus. They are of one mind; intertwining beautifully.

[@timothijssen6158]

Roger Steinbrink 1:49

[@timw2915]

The greatest rock band of all time.

[@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427]

Quite an underrated song, but one of their best! iTs A nErVoUs ShAkEdOwN!!😵🤘

[@sdavis6806]

My favorite Johnson era tune

[@TheCodyhopetcg]

Very Very Nice. One of the few times it's been played by AC/DC. Now all we need to do is have it played live....

[@pel666]

This is when I apriciated the new singer...Bonn cannot be replaced, It took some major balls to fill in his spot!

[@rodrigomussak]

I love this band.

[@TheOfficerMahoney]

Fantastic song. Simons sounds real good on this - the best he ever sounded with the band. Thank you Mal!

[@nein4893]

Wow what a Band!

[@nuckingfuts6913]

great fuckin song / great album

[@taylors42]

Brian struggling a bit, needs a cold beer to sooth the tonsils 😂

[@brandonthompson8411]

i like how brian's voice was not there and he would just smirk, he knew it would get better later, after a few pints and about 3 packs of smokes.

[@davidcrabbe1243]

They were particularly louder than usual on this your with a lot more bottom end which gave them power..more than usual.thicker...damn ..it was a great era for our Heavy metal...we really ruled...

[@Emedealer]

Very underrated song and album

[@metafis2490]

Straying into metal here!.. :). I like it!.

[@Wedget]

One of my favourite ACDC songs, come on people give this more likes 👍👌

[@bluehappyscrap]

acdc is awesome.

[@theskrublords]

"Freeze!" said the man cruising the beat "You get your hands up, spread your feet" "Don't you move an inch", I heard him say "Or you'll be doin' time until the judgement day" And he said, "Don't tell me no lies, give me alibis 'Cause if you cross my path, you'll be doin' life" It's a dirty lie It's a shakedown (and it's a nervous shakedown) Another shakedown (another nervous shakedown) Well it's a shakedown (and it's a nervous shakedown) We got a shakedown Another nervous shakedown It's looking like a set-up "Take a dime," said the man, "you can make one call" "You got a one way ticket to the county hall" Well the judge looked high and I looked low When he smiled at me it was a one man show He said, "10-to-5, the jury decides Double parole, if you survive" It's a dirty li Lord they're gonna get you this time And throw away the key It's a shakedown (and it's a nervous shakedown) Another shakedown (another nervous shakedown) You got a shakedown (and it's a nervous shakedown) Well it's a shakedown (another nervous shakedown) Shake it down, shake it down (and it's a nervous shakedown) Well it's a shakedown (another nervous shakedown) Shake it down, shake it down (and it's a nervous shakedown)

[@amilcarvalenca3381]

Forlife

[@かんらんかも]

Great Song !!

[@beverlin66]

A W E S O M E ENORME

[@jimsavage379]

Initially I was confused by the slow pace of the band.Then I realized the band was playing live at half pace because the original studio recording was being put in its place for the official video for the song.Watch the official video to see what I mean.GREAT to see this though.

[@karsvanschaik]

1:14 I love it how Brian can't keep up with his own voice. Back in the studio it sounded amazing but he can't do it live here. No offense to Brian at all, just found it interesting :)

[@SamLazier]

I think he's just not having good day in this rehearsal, 'cause the chorus notes in this song are pretty easy by Brian's standards. For example Thunderstruck from Donington live 8yrs later he just murders it and that song has even higher singing. 😶

[@karsvanschaik]

@@SamLazier Yeah exactly! Nothing wrong with that :)

[@cdchantler]

This is take one. There is takes 2 and 3 online, take 3 is the standard you’d expect 👍

[@jeanmougin69]

Album sous estimé,un des meilleurs avec Brian 👍👍🤘

[@NathanSGBrazil]

@01:47 Malcolm been a human being making a mistake.... epic hahaha

[@ImperialRadioYT]

+NathanSGBrazil HOLY FUCK! the one and only time!

[@ttarris]

Someone made a mistake during Back In Black in Denver on the Black Ice tour.

[@shawnbailey4943]

Axl/DC needs to go beyond Back In Black and the usual. Lucky for me, I heard "Let's Get It Up", "Play Ball", "Moneytalks" and "Are You Ready" on the radio so far during the Axl/DC madness other than the concert setlist.

[@retrotv9260]

I have heard some rumors that during this album period, Brian Johnsons voice slowly started to weaken. That's because of him getting older and him screaming the life out of his vocal cords. Which is good sounding, band and his style of vocal, but his vocal cords also started weakening. Which lead to voice cracks like the one at 0:56. Not to do any destructive criticism, AC/DC is my favorite band of all time. I am just trying to clear the rumors up.

[@SoloDallasII]

Brian belts it out like nobody else. Very few people have voices that could handle that kind of singing regularly for very long. You can tell, even on the album (FOTS), he sounds a bit different than he did in '80-'81. Here, he was still trying to sing exactly like he used to and his voice just can't handle it. By the FOTW album/tour, he started singing in a lower register and he sounded much better live. Same thing happened in '91, he couldn't hit the same notes from BIB so he sang in a lower register and it sounded great.

[@TheAwkwardStuffShow]

Mike utubesux That's what I love about this guy. Gonna come out and say it but his voice was pretty awful during BUYV, but he brought it right back with a crisp sound in Razors Edge. Personally I think the 90s was when his voice was prime. Not to mention he's still kicking ass in Rock or Bust now.

[@YUG74]

John Wolf Personally I love his vocals for Back in Black especially with Shoot to Thrill that was a once in a life time recording he can't even hit it that high live ever again.

[@TheAwkwardStuffShow]

***** sadly thats true. Back in black was his best with AC/DC

[@YUG74]

yea he had hit his prime. KZbin Geordie 'Treat her like a lady' to get an idea of the range this guy had

[@Danimal300zx]

This is from 1983, which happened to be the last year Brian still had his voice intact. He lost it after this tour.

[@hermanhelmich]

Man, Singing is really a true struggle sometimes.

[@TJfusk]

love it

[@LesPaulCustom79]

@RnRAddict AC/DC played this on the Flick of the Switch Tour, then dropped it for new songs from the newer material in future tours, like Who Made Who, DT, Thunderstruck, Are You Ready, Money Talks, etc...

[@tiffanyn.anthony8115]

This must be where Phil Rudd left the group...I know he recorded the album. Stimon did a great job though.

[@PeterMetzinger]

Thanks, pvertes. That's possible indeed.

[@cementheed]

Angus is playing the intro completely different than most TABs are written. Always wondered how he got the 5/2 spread so clean. Answer: He doesn't, because it's not played that way!

[@aldabe]

this is how it's played: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2mzo6d9iZmXirc note the first 2 intro chords, that are also wrong written in most tabs.

[@Evan-rf6yf]

Such a great comment. I remember when I was younger and looked up The Jack I was like 5 2 wtf

[@PeterMetzinger]

Nice to see behind the scenes. But it makes me wonder why Brian wrote songs that he himself was hardly able to sing back then. Interestingly and luckily his voice has improved over the years.

[@РусланРусланов-в7н]

👍👍👍

[@Turk_2023]

I think if AC/DC chose quality over quantity in the 80s and For those about to rock, Flock of the switch, Fly on the wall, blow up your video was released strategically as 2 albums without the filler, and spaced out the singles using the access as b-sides for the singles they could have been Monster selling albums... But they were hellbent on albums and touring

[@jamesragsdale8202]

Agreed. Two strong albums.

[@archieadams7814]

listen 2 BADLANDS AC/DC

[@BingaBangoBongo]

One of the best songs on the album, fuckin' mint

[@powerage477]

Nervous breakdown for this clip!

[@ACDC4LIFE]

✔️EPIC ... FIND LOVE IT FUK❗️DOWN TUNED

[@WilbePat]

CLEVELAND AGORA ROCKIN' FOREVER!! @ClevelandAgora

[@alexscott730]

I wonder if Simon Wright still gets decent royalties from this album.

[@frankusyoung4198]

Alex Scott Phill Rudd play on the album, Simon joined the band for the tour

[@jamesragsdale8202]

$0.00

[@LeandroDanielHernandezPiedra]

Talvez recibe regalías por fly on the wall y blow up Your video

[@glenproenings2398]

Wow never mind

[@JColeComedian]

It's hard to replace Phil and I just never thought Simon had the proper feel.

[@nchlsdg8598]

+biffbyford still better than chris in the current tour

[@JColeComedian]

+Nicholas Davies Agreed! I saw them in San Francisco last year and during the extended Let There Be Rock solo, Chris was playing like 1/16th notes on a god damn remote high hat. Just awful.

[@nchlsdg8598]

+biffbyford yep i also saw them twice in cologne and gelsenkirchen, i really liked chris during the razors edge but now his drumming sucks

[@JColeComedian]

+Nicholas Davies He's too much of hard-hitting robot and has zero swing or back beat feel. And those big thunder struck toms annoy the hell out of me- the 5 piece Sonor kit is ACDC.

[@azdztribute]

+biffbyford Rudd played a bigger set back in the 70's and 80's

[@vonMohl]

Angus not dressed in his school boy suit ?

[@dupersuper6516]

Needs phil

[@MrKDilkington0]

Anyone think this sounds like Rising Power?

[@henrikduende]

They should have droped their tuning to D or C, Brian would have sounded much better.

[@maxti6]

If a man catches a cold there's no way he can hit the notes - Brian sounds like he just got over a major cold.

[@bryandonnella532]

Guess not.

[@amylyno]

That is not Phil Rudd on drums -who is that?

[@airbournefreak9722]

His Name is Simon Wright, He played the Flick of the Switch Tour (1983) after Phil needed His break, He recorded Fly on the Wall (1985), Who Made Who ( 1986) and Blow Up Your Video (1988) with AC/DC. And he also played all three Tours before Chris Slade stepped in. :)

[@fenderstratADHD]

Simon Wright

[@jaymcd8577]

Brian really struggled in these rehearsals.

[@ImperialRadioYT]

so was this ever actually done live?

[@FuzzGridExpress]

Idk

[@nazarenocaseres1782]

+ImperialRadioYT no

[@mattharris5067]

ImperialRadioYT yes mate . take notice

[@ImperialRadioYT]

what does that mean? I'm meant at a concert

[@pvertes]

@campaigningtv I guess that he's not giving his 100% 'cause this is only one of the takes. Had a look at other takes and he's way better :)

[@pkramerable]

Fly On The Switch. Switch On The Wall. What can you say? They were reaching at this point.

[@henrystroup3330]

It's Simon. Not stimon.

[@glenproenings2398]

Yeah wtf what for name is stimon think of it man

[@JudasRapidFire]

geez Brian lay off the cigarettes

[@miisu]

Jesus that bass is ugly.

[@mattharris5067]

miisu as long as it sounds good that's all that matters
