Just a group of 60 year old men ( at the time) showing all the kids how it’s done! Complete crowd control 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Ana-wf4jt]

Argentina, the best crow of all. In Argentina we listen to international rock so much that every time a band comes from abroad the stadiums are filled, besides we are very passionate and effusive so we put all the energy every time we go to a show 😎 AC DC is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@shegocrazy]

Can't argue with the evidence. Best Crowd EVER.

[@kurfsolb]

I'm glad they decided to shoot the concert on this very stadium. All those people became a sixth member of the band.

[@bradbilkingtonsonmon3617]

Nobody ever reacts to the best live version of this. Donnington August 1991. It’s better than the studio version

Had the dvd oddly growing up, such a child hood memory. Watched it every road-trip on those cheap headrest screens

[@peterzukowski]

At the time of River Plate, 2009, Brian was 62 years old. Considering he sings in a style that would shred a mere mortal throat and reduce it's user to a whisper at that point in time, I think he sounds bloody marvelous.

[@hays9008]

That would put him in his 90s. He is 76 now?

[@peterzukowski]

@@hays9008 Yeah, he's 76. He was born in 1947.

[@user-dk7dh4np4b]

Malcolm Young, a true hero of Rock 'n Roll. Rest In Peace my brother in Rock. No has mentioned this so far, but Malcolm was already suffering from dementia at this concert. The last year of this tour he was studing his own songs every day before going on stage, just so he wouldn't forget them... Studing his own songs!!! Every Day!!! That's dedication to your art. A more true rock 'n roll soldier is yet to be born.

[@bugvswindshield]

thanks! Thats a true rock and roll guy right there. For the fans till the end.

[@sammyp4216]

And to tell how great a guitarist Malcolm was, Malcolm taught Angus everything and during an interview someone asked Angus what it was like to be the greatest guitarist in the world and Angus laughed "Greatest guitarist in the world? I'm not even the best guitarist in my family!" Malcolm just knew Angus had a better stage presence so he went rythym and stayed in the background. He was in a lot of ways the backbone of the band and controlled a lot of what they did from behind the scenes or frontline so to speak.

[@wildbill7081]

Very Very True@@sammyp4216

[@GryLi]

gotta love that crowd, what an energy

[@scottromer8584]

There is nothing like live music! Not supposed to be "perfect", it's the vibe, fun, feeling you get from a live concert as you can plainly see from the crowd.

[@garywilliams2188]

The great thing is you see different generations in the crowd, and they are singing along with the songs, that is the ultimate sign that they transcend the generations.

[@andrewclelland9713]

Excellent song, but you need to listen to early AC/DC with Bon Scott singing. I would recommend 'Touch Too Much' or 'Whole Lot of Rosie'

[@anibaldk]

Whole lotta Rosie from the same concert was INSANE!!!

[@telstar4772]

Not as good with Bon

[@peterzukowski]

I'm not a fan of Bon Scott. Don't get me wrong, loved the voice, but hated his presence for the live shows. When they performed live, Bon always needed the attention on him. It always feels like its Bon Scott with back up band AC/DC, whereas with Brian, it's AC/DC, and Brian's their front man.

[@jeffrichards1537]

R.I.P. Malcolm Young. Saddest pic I've ever seen was Angus standing behind his brothers hearse with Malcolm's guitar.

[@robertphelps1574]

Don’t forget a few weeks before Malcolm passed away George Young passed away

[@jameszabinski3558]

Holy shit-! When did he pass-?

[@beckiramsey9561]

AC/DC is really awesome! Love watching Angus playing that guitar and doing his dancing all over the stage!❤ Great reaction!❤

[@TheCornishCockney]

The 60's,70's and 80's were magical. It was a huge long party with the best music in history front and centre. Thank God i'm a boomer. We were the most fortunate, blessed generation of them all.

For those about to Rock from this show is 🔥🔥🔥

Whole Lotta Rosie and Let There Be Rock frm the same concert are also worth a watch.

Still to this day, the best live show I've ever seen , and I saw over a hundred. Their stage performance and the fan reaction was amazing.

[@boqndimitrov8693]

without exaggeration, this group is one of the symbols of Australia.

[@theanvil8009]

They've been doing this a long time, first album was '74 Jailbreak (of course came out in 1974). AC/DC is the loudest concert I have ever been to and just to compare, I've been to Ozzy, Pantera, Rob Zombie, Van Halen, etc. and none of the come close to the volume. The sound is clear too, usually the louder bands are the more distorted they get so a huge thumbs up to the people they have doing their sound setup. Loved them since I was a kid and will 'til I'm gone!

[@GorgeousRoddyChrome]

The crowd at an AC⚡️DC concert makes it a religious experience in the best of ways. 🤘 I can totally see both of you at an AC⚡️DC show, right up front rockin out, with Sam leading the crowd vibe all the way! 😄 BTW... my grown kids tell me constantly how jealous they are that I was growing up as massive rock fan and concert goer from the 60's thru the 80's. 😂 But they are glad their old man was there.

[@Danledz]

you have to watch the entire concert at river plate. It's one of the best rock n roll concerts recorded. 100% pure power for 2 hours, not one song that doesn't make you move.

[@FilmFreaksPictures]

there are bands...and there is AC/DC live...unmatched

[@nightprowler-dm3bt]

on tour for 50 years and on stage last week. they are part of my life I love them.

[@truckrboat]

You are right it is 19 years after the studio version, and considering by this time brian was losing his hearing pretty badly he still sounds great, yes not the studio but still amazing

[@valwebb7640]

We love AccaDacca down under. What an amazing stage presence. Always better live. So proud of our Aussie music scene.

[@TexasMagnolia]

Thanks for staying on River Plate. “Whole Lot of Rosie”

[@louremington6975]

I saw them, I think in 1977 at Towson state college in Maryland. They openend for a band called The Rockets, that had a top ten hit at the time. Anyway, when AC/DC came out everyone was blown away. We were saying, "this is the opening act!!" WTF! this is the show. Everyone was very nice. Didn't do any of that boing the main act off the stage, but it was close. I was asked at the last minute if I wanted to go. Good decision. Bon Scott was singing at the time.

[@robertg7396]

Next AC/DC River Plate reaction has to be "Whole Lotta Rosie" or "The Jack." Both of molten lava performances! 🌋🔥

[@philliphowson1937]

At my gym, one of the other aerobics instructors plays this song at the beginning. She has us jogging or walking around the room in a circle. Each time he says “thunder struck” we have to stop and do a burpee. Lots of fun!!!!!

[@originalpottsy]

I first saw acdc in 1972/73? At a local church hall (St Peter's) in East bentleigh Victoria Australia at a blue light disco. These were music/dance events for under 15 kids, as I was then, with nuns and police as chaperones. Suffice to say the nuns were shocked and the police were loving it. All songs were covers. Not sure they had written a song yet. It was wild.

[@darngj]

You gotta listen to “For those about to Rock” We salute u 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@martincampbell8655]

They have their own horn section in the audience! When I listen to AC/DC, so do my neighbors!

[@ianbrooke6342]

I saw AC/DC live in the early 2000's. Unfortunately it was an open-air stadium and it rained the entire time but to see Thunderstruck played in the middle of a real thunderstorm with real lightening flashing across the sky is something else! Even if it is a bit scary!

Crowd was Thunderstruck. Awesome to watch.

[@jamessollazzo4860]

watch whole lotta rosie for an angus shredd job from same venue

Hi Phil & Samantha, I only saw them once but it was Amazing and Loud😀

The best concert is Monsters of Rock, Castle Donington 1991, but obviously the spectacle of modern stadium show is right here, and the crowd is absolutely mental.

[@gaynora1858]

You can also search for this song with a movie that it scored in. Battleship MV AC/DC Thunderstruck. This is also a great movie to do a reaction to.

[@sonofthesea3298]

0:27 That slight starting banter towards Sam,had me bursting out in laughterHaving spoken to numberous people over the years,not knowing they were into AC/DC,one common thing has come out of every one of them: Thunderstruck is that song they consider being AC/DCs "theme song",the song that represents them the best. Some even calls it theyr best song,and i do agree. Eventhough i hold Hells Bells,Highway To Hell and even Whole Lotta Rosie very high too,Thunderstruck is on a different level. 5:04 Yeah Phil,stop being a party pooper towards Samantha *puts up a fight to maintain the pokerface* No comments on the subject? Well i already did! 9:02 Thats my new nickname on Angus now. Angus "Short pants suit" Young I dont think i have seen you react to anything from Donington. River Plate is passionate,but Donington is known for giving an electric atmosphere as well! How about: (i would love to see Samanthas reaction to this performance): AC/DC - Whole Lotta Rosie (Live at Donington, 8/17/91)

That tattoo is of Angus Young from their Highway to Hell album that is why you see the crowd were red horn headbands. The song Highway to Hell was much maligned at the time for devil worship and satanism, but the band countered that with the persistent claim it was no more than a song about having to be continuously on the road touring.
