You know why AC/DC has been making the same song and the same album for 50 years? Because it’s a fucking good song.
Verse, chorus, half verse, chorus, guitar solo, choruschoruschorus
ah, yes, the electrifying power of acdc
love this video, really perfect /r/happycrowds vibes. the look on his face when they first start singing and he knows he’s gotta keep doing whatever he’s doing is gold
the drummer joining in is the MVP, and the cherry on top is the guitarist randomly nailing the solo after being asked if he even knows it
I’m never mad about this one being (re)posted. Always brings a smile…
What a fun performance for the band and audience.
I like how in the background you can see the drummer get this cheeky look on his face like “What if I just started doing the drums of the song, wonder what’ll happen”, then he was very surprised, happy and satisfied when the crowd joined in and really there was no turning back after that point.
Is the audience almost entirely female?
Every time this is posted I watch. Amazing
What does the guitarist at the very end say?
Lol the point around 1:40 was 100% him going “oh god shit fuck there’s a guitar solo coming up and I don’t know it. Do you know it? Please tell me you know it…”
Matt Nathanson! What an awesome dude. I once saw him perform at a small college venue and The dude saw me (I had a sick fro back then) and asked me in front of everyone “You must get a lot of pussy with that hair! Don’t you?” Hahah best time ever. I love this dude ever since,. This was back in 2003 right after he blew up because of American Pie
i’ve been to a few AC/DCs concerts and they are some of the best lives shows i ever been to. crowd is into it, band gets the crowd pumped, just an all out party with amazing rock music.
Bc everyone loves some AC/DC. Bon and Angus would be proud.
Matt Nathanson and Andrew McMahon?! What year is it?!?!
*Checks video*
2014…. makes sense.
I remember going to Starland Ballroom in NJ in the early aughts and an unknown band, My Chemical Romance, started to play TNT and the place went nuts singing along.
Let’s be honest… AC/DC know how to rock and it can put you into an instant good mood / great vibe check / singalong. It’s one of those bands who have that power.
The reaction of the drummer is the best, awesome!
Meh. Only 80% completion on Guitar Hero Band.
Love bands who have fun being musicians.
Matt Nathanson is such a killer live performer
When he said “anyway” I thought he would follow up with “here’s wonderwall”
Love the look on their faces! Complete surprise, but happy
I mean, what did you expect. You can’t just slip in an AC/DC song for the goof and expect any different of a reaction. They’re ungoofable…
I’ve always wanted to train a parrot to sing the lyrics to AC/DC songs and then start a cover band called For Those About to Squawk.
Because of the exceptional camerawork, we can really see the drama unfolding between the band members. (Imagined thoughts in italics, real words in bold)
0:43, you can see the realization between guitar player Aaron Tap and Matt Nathanson, “*this is awesome, but we are totally not prepared to play the entire song.*” MN isn’t sure what to do, AT says “**This is wild**,” and nods encouragingly.
1:00, the guest Andrew McMahon asks AT “**What’s happening?**” AT says “**I have no idea!**” AM and AT have another exchange, their mouths are obscured, but AM’s “**What the fuck**” reaction makes me think AT said something to the effect of “*We haven’t practiced this before.*”
1:23, MN visually checks in with AT for the upcoming solo. AT gives a look that says “*I dunno man*,” MN thinks “*oh shit, maybe we need to cut this short, I don’t want to embarrass my guy*.” It’s hard to see, but I think the drummer Chris Lovejoy is following this interaction and picks up on the problem. CL and MN simultaneously stop playing, but the crowd isn’t having it.
1:30, MN makes eye contact with AT again, and in the second critical moment of the entire incident (the first being that first drum hit), AT makes a choice and says “**Let’s go for it.**”
1:42, MN wants to make 100% certain that this is happening, points directly at AT and gets a nod. CL is watching closely before jumping back in with the beat.
2:01, AM has been paying attention to this whole drama, and asks MN if the solo is really happening. MN grins and shrugs.
2:08, MN says something to AT that I can’t fully make out, but I’m pretty sure part of it is “**I don’t know the chords**,” that run under the solo. AT is on his own, here. He takes a moment to process this, and then looks down at his guitar and lets it rip. You can feel AT’s concentration and groove here, live clutch music perfection.
We don’t get to see much of the Bassist’s reactions and input through most of the song, but such is the eternal fate of all ~~base~~ bass players.
At the end after MN compliments him for nailing the solo, AT says **”I spent my childhood well**.” Matt replies, “**All the late night listening sessions have paid off**,” Aaron quips, “**Lonely, lonely, lonely nights.**”
They tried to stop after the first verse, like ‘that was cool’ and the crowd was just all ‘Hell nah. We’re doing this’
I saw some small bands play at a bar once and after the last band finished their set, a buddy yelled “Play Nirvana!” and the band excitedly busted into Smells Like Teen Spirit but the singer went into straight panic mode. He yelled “Wait, I don’t know the words!” and the singer from the band before them ran up on stage and took over. It ended up being super fun but the terror on the singer’s face was priceless.
I would pay money to go someplace where the band just played favorites for the fans to sing along to. Like mass karaoke.
Frampton did this in the last concert of his we went. He’d start off the song, then point the Mike to the audience to sing.
AC/DC is a universal language that most people understand
I’ve seen AC/DC 4 times live and AXL/DC once, they always blew the roof of the building. Angus is a fucking meteor of energy.
You start the AC/DC you finish the AC/DC.
Damn that was exactly the break I needed! Took me away from work and I felt I was right there for a moment. Thanks!!
