AC/DC first UK tour part 2

“Angus was a live wire, jumping all over the place, on the stage and off. Bon was just so cool and charismatic. Angus and Bon really were a great double act. They were both such characters and they complemented each other. They never got in each other’s way. You could feel that Bon was very much pushing Angus to the front – to get all the attention. And the other three were so bloody good – just an incredible rhythm section.
“They played nine or ten songs. The power in ‘It’s A Long Way To The Top’ and ‘High Voltage’ was phenomenal. And as soon as they finished, Bon walked off the stage and straight to the bar. He’d taken his shirt off during the show and didn’t bother to put it back on. He just put a towel around his neck, strolled up to the bar and said to a few people standing there, ‘Right, who wants a drink?’ It was a case of, ‘I’m buying you all a drink and I expect you to buy me one back.’ Which was fair enough. I talked to him. He was really affable, very happy to be in England. In the hour between the band’s two sets at the Red Cow, many who had witnessed the first set rushed out to a phone box to call their friends and tell them they had to see this band. The audience had doubled by the time AC/DC were back on stage. “There was a real buzz in the room,” Malcolm Dome says. Word of mouth was spreading fast.
The music is like a forge in a black night beating heat and energy together into something almost beautiful it’s so strongd, and very much Bon the bon viveur. He was great.”
