Just look at that crowd!! That is respect for the talent on the stage and an incredible performance.
That crowd. A pulsing wave of energy.
They filled the place 3 days in a row.
Pulsing is really the word. Like the structure and camera literally shake when the crowd start jumping
Only in Argentina!
I think this is the best crowd I have ever seen. I''ve watched the video of Oasis at the same venue and their crowd ws tame by comparison.
One of the best rock bands I’ve seen live in concert thereafter my ears ringing for two days.
where did she bought those teeth?
Me too. LOUD what? Huh. :)
Tinnitus
Mine was 3 days...had my ears up against a speaker.....ahhh those were the days.. :)
Saw this tour in Toronto ..... one of the best live bands EVER!!!! Saw them a couple times and the crowd energy is like nothing you will experience at any other concert.
The young ins could learn a thing or two from classic quality like this. They have delivered what the fans want for literally decades
River Plate -- greatest concert ever, greatest crowd ever!
I've seen a number of interviews with Angus and Brian. Brian is one of those lads who is so down to earth, and grateful just to be in the band. He said in the beginning he felt apprehensive to do any of their old stuff, as he said it felt like an injustice to do Bon's songs, but thankfully Angus and Malcolm said, it's all good, do it in your style. Bon had the real bluesy sound, added with that charm and charisma. Brian, has that rock and roll voice, it may not have a ton of range, but his high head range though, WOW! Brian too has the charm just not in quite the same way as Bon though. You can hear some differences in Brian's vocals from when he started with the band, to where he is now, but 40 years of recording and touring with a band of that magnitude like AC/DC. It's shocking he can still work his tail off doing tours, he like the rest of them put it all out on stage. One of the hardest working and honest rock bands out there.
I was just saying that out loud here, right near the end Brian lets the rasp slip for just a moment & his natural singing voice comes through & it's absolutely stunning (I love the rasp, it gives me goosebumps every time); I just haven't heard it clearly like that before. I can't compare Bon & Brian, they both bring so much to AC/DC, I miss Bon's music, but I'm so glad that Brian has been able to keep it alive. :)
Hello ! Brian was the savior of the band, voice, personality, and very empathic, like Bon Scott, with people aound him. the sound is great, the crowd agree, literaly groovy like funk music, every musician know what to do, 44 years of pleasure, welcome to the plesure done !
AC/DC and Iron Maiden.... hard to argue! Two of the brightest stars on the rock heaven!! 🤘😎
Bon or Brian...I can't imagine AC/DC without either one of them. With the brothers Angus and Malcolm, the band is the GOAT of rock and roll. Really hope we get to see them perform together at least one last time. And then...how about a biopic film about them?!
Performing together one more time huh? That won't be easy...
@@Flesharrower Being that Brian is 75 now, no it won't be easy, but he sounded great on their most recent album, released in 2020. Of course Malcolm is gone now, but their nephew Stevie Young did great on rhythm guitar during their last tour. Just hoping for maybe one last show together, live on pay-per-view, if not a short tour.
@@jeff316 AC/DC is playing live at Coachella October 7th this year Iron Maiden Guns and Roses Metalica Ozzy ans tool are all playing that weekend
@@danielpetrucci8952 Yep, thanks, I saw that report. Absolutely fantastic! Unfortunately, because I'm on the other side of the US, that is too far, and too expensive, for me to go. Hoping it gets aired on pay-per-view or some other platform.
This should be a treat. The fans there are absolutely insane! In a good way.
I saw AC/DC twice when Brian Johnson was in his youthful prime... He was incredibly powerful.
I saw AC/DC on the Highway to Hell tour and Bon Scott one of the best unique voices in Rock! Sorely missed!
When the music’s that good people don’t play with their phones throughout…you’re in another world for that night 🔥
Brian doesn't seem to have a problem with his voice as he gets older - his hearing is a different story - understandably! Loved this band since 1981 when I was 11 years old and first heard Back in Black - especially as Brian is from my neck of the woods - Tyneside! :)
Issues with hearing doesn't help when his side passion is racing vintage race cars.
Australia's greatest export. Half of them may have been born overseas, but they grew up and learned their trade playing in front of Aussie pub audiences that honed them for international stardom.
Thank you for doing this video Beth. My favourite rock band and to hear you breaking down Brian's vocals with your expert ear is really great to watch.
Your attention to detail is amazing. 🧐I'm entertained by how you're entertained by many of my favorite bands/artists.
You're too cool! 😃
Great reaction and analysing Bethany! Thanks for that! I managed to see them live three times (1996, 2000, 2001) and those gigs were so great. I love Bon Scott, he was such a storyteller, character and singer. But Brian is great too, they had such a charisma both of them! Greetings from Finland!
ACDC - the story of a guitarist and his band.
Loved your reaction Beth! Long time AC/DC fan here😆
I'm surprised with you going to school in Boston that you have not reacted to the band Boston. The vocals on that band are definitely worth a reaction.
Although Brian Johnson has been a member of AC/DC for a longer period than Bon Scott was alive, many people still unfairly see him as a replacement.
My childhood. Acdc, Angels, Status, Valentines, The Church, woooh......100s of great Australian bands!!!
You really have 100s of potential great review vids from 70s and 80s Aus rock!!👍
It’s so interesting you noticed and mentioned the tone and sound beneath all the rasp and powerful singing. I was pretty close with Brian (and his family) for about 5 years, and there were countless times he and I would be hanging out, and when there was music playing he’d sometimes be be standing next to me with his arm around me or whatever and sing along and it just blew my mind. It was rarely ever rock. We’d listen to like Ray montagne and older blues artists etc. and he knew it and sang it all. I literally never heard him sing like he does with the band (unless we went to a show of course) His voice is so crazy good with AC/DC but it’s also so much more. I feel so lucky to have had so many good times and memorable moments with him. I even saved one of the voicemails he left me just because, who gets those? Haha! All that and One of the best human beings out there, and a true living legend.
I know you love hearing the singers speaking voice. Have you heard an interview with Brian Johnson? I could listen to him all day...
Watching and listening to your reactions....your an old rocker in a young body. Ive seen them live...memories!
I saw AC/DC 1979 in Germany. Opening act Judas Priest. Angus Young - the godfather of R'n'Roll guitar
Brian Johnson is a monster man, his power is unbelievable. And AC/DC is impossible to not like, that groove with that SG sounding so f*cking good, you can't go wrong. That SG sound is what a call the true guitar sound.
Love your reaction and you have such a lovely smile.😁greetings from the Netherlands
Brilliant reaction. (Was there at River Plate 😈😈😈😛😛) I've been hearing and watching them from the beginning in the pubs in Aussie with Bon Scott (R.I.P) to later on all over the world with Brian. Great voice comparison from you. Kudos !!!!!
I think Bon Scott's voice is awesome but Brian Johnson's voice is like a finger running along my spine. It gives me the chills and makes me want to go kick some butt lol
😂 Love this!
I give the band huge kudos for finding another incredibly unique voice and forging such a,legendary career after losing their lead singer. But Bon will always be the man for me; that's the AC/DC I grew up wth and saw perform live. But I will concede they were pretty epic afterwards too. I love this band!
@@roadkill7314 yeah, I loved Bon Scott's voice also. Same as u, grew up listening to him.
@@sunisbest1234 We were lucky enough to grow up in the best era of music there's ever been in the history of music; the 60's through the 80's!
@@roadkill7314 oh yes, very true! Amazing really that some of these bands, singers are still at it. And the different generations that love 'em.
Nach rund 40 Jahren immer noch Absoluter Kult AC⚡DC 👍😎🤘
❤THXX1000 🙏🙏🙏
Great video! Thank you.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
Great, as always! I think the "velvet" came with the decades. I know exactly what you're talking about, though. His voice became much warmer, richer, and timbrally more complex with age. It was far thinner and more caustic in the early days (though still enjoyable). I have no idea how he's managed to do what he's done with (and to) his voice for SO many years. Unbelievable. A truly unique vocalist. To this day, no one else sounds quite like him.
Your facial expressions are just so interesting that I find myself focusing on that more than anything else. Then you add in great analysis, I'm kind of hooked already to your channel. Obviously I like the rock stuff more than anything else but I also enjoy that you are doing things you personally like. I'd love if you did a Hozier song (not 'take me to church'), he really has some great stuff that is live too. Also definitely Fleet Foxes.
Loved seeing your reviews of John Farnham and AC/DC, I totally agreed with you and loved those instant surprised facial reactions which said lots too.
Phew! I’m now fully drained of emotion. Spine chills, goosebumps, the lot.
Long live Aussie Rock.
Glad you enjoyed the performances too.
I enjoy watching your sensitivity to the music .... welocme to what i grew up on and still rocking!
One of the greatest pure rock and roll bands in the history of the genre. I think their popularity and legacy is due to the combination of multiple factors, including consistent great basic rock songwriting with multiple catchy, instantly recognizable guitar riffs, solid musicianship of every member (especially Angus, with his multiple memorable solos) and obviously, the distinctive, powerful vocals of both Brian Johnson and Bon Scott (RIP). I saw them live at Madison Square Garden in the 90's and it was so cool when they opened up with Back In Black, 10K+ heads instantly starting bobbing to the beat after the first couple chords.
John Farnham's, Help reaction came up as a recommendation. First time watching the channel, I've been bingeing your other videos all week,
and this was such a great pick, and really enjoyable reaction. Thank you.
Liked and Subscribed.
I have watched a lot of your reactions - you are obviously a professional and know your stuff - I enjoyyour work.
But I must say - you are quite captivating in yourself. Seeing you enjoy a performance is a pleasure 😊
Been a fan since I first heard them in 1975. Sadly never got to see them live until after Bon had died. But as you've already said, both very distinguishable, but both full of power, feeling and sentiment and, both compliment the best in Rock and Roll. Great to watch and listen to your review, 🤘👹
If you've ever listened to an interview of his you'd hear his real speaking voice. He's got a DEEP voice, which just goes to show the work he puts into singing the way he does.
I would love to hear your analysis of Benjamin Orr of The Cars doing Just What I Needed, It's All I Can Do, Moving in Stereo and/or Bye Bye Love.
That crowd was insane.
You’re my new favorite reaction person.
Angus Young is a truly great guitarist, and he's such a showman as well. Brian Johnson, it's not just the gravel, the grit, it's the swagger. He's got soul, he makes you want to get up and groove. The only way to hear AC/DC is LIVE!
Both are amazing!
I was at this show . And not only at this show , but many of their shows . Even the Bin Scott show " Highway To Hell " tour . And River Plate is my home ⚽ team . Although this crowd is normal for this stadium. Any band that plays there , it's the same . I also saw Clapton , The Police and many more shows there . But when River Plate plays home games there⚽ , it's 10 times even more crazier . Most of the players for the World Cup in Qatar were from the River Plate team .
Gracias por los subtítulos, se agradece , excelente análisis.. nuevo suscriptor
These guys were in their sixties! I wish I......had been that good at that age! 🙂
Just a footnote to what you said about Brian slotting into the Band after Bon passed away, Bon Told the band that Brian would be a good replacement for him after ACDC and the band Geordie played a gig together (what a turn of fate). The first singer was a guy named Dave Evans
Nice reaction. Saludos from Argentina
Hey beautyfull!!! Argentinian crowd, best in the world. This helps to make any performance even better. Greettings from Argentina
Wonderful
Hi! You chose the best venue to watch a live gig: River Plate Stadium, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Cheers!
Great crowd! Can't say I've ever been at a concert with a crowd that big and boisterous! Some of the crowds at the Blues games during our championship year got pretty close to that level of excitement though. 🤪🚨🎉
I would love you to review Ride On with Bon Scott, total control and storytelling in a different way ❤️
Respect for your raection ! Authentic !
Loved your happy smile. So yeh ya got me subbing🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤣❤🤘keep rocking. Brian may not kill the high notes at his age. But his presence is felt
I just found you and I really enjoyed your reaction to this song. I grew up listening to AC/DC and love Bon and Brian in their own ways. No one could ever replace Bon, but Brian was a one in a million find for the band and carried on in his own way. I subscribed and am looking forward to seeing more of your work!
Brilliant!
I liked your reaction. You look and sound like a schoolteacher. And AC/DC brings out the naughty streak in you. 😊
I remember a high school newspaper music critic in 1979 calling them a 3 cord band after the highway to hell album.
Angus Young has GOT to be renown as one of the Greatest Guitar Jammers of all time!
with brian with his deep growly voice you can here his accent coming through tynside when he sings you need to here him talk normally to understand why he has such a great voice
As others have noted he sang differently when younger. I’m amazed that he has been able to keep that AC/DC voice for so long.
I love how up to 1:08 you're just waiting. Then when that first rift kicks in you do what everyone on the planet does and begin to rock-grimace. Yes 😀😀
Back in Black one of my all time favorites!
I subscribed to you channel because i love your face. It's a great face! And the expressions on your face always put a smile on my face. That, and you're beautiful, so that helps.
I don't think that I have ever seen a better rock concert. Crap, there had to be 200,000 people in there!
Masters of rock....sickkkkk.
just look at that crowd, same in Portugal on the same tour, eve of my birthday on June 3rd :)
@ᴛᴇxᴛ ᴍᴇ ᴏɴ ᴛᴇʟᴇɢʀᴀᴍ👉@TheVocalyst0 i do not use Telegram...but you can find me on Facebook and Instagram lol
Loved Brian’s voice when he was in local band Geordie
One of the greatest concerts in Rock history...
110,000 people in that crowd in Argentina
Number 1 , they are affectionately known here in Australia as “ ACCA DACCA” you also need to do , It’s a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll 🤣 better known as A long way to the top if you want to rock and roll.
Viva o rock and roll viva o ACDC
Brian's voice??? "A mixture of battery acid and love."
I think at this stage of Brian's career you can really hear him push some air through and it's great. Not the same voice as in 1980 but still nice.
No need to analyse, they just sound great. Enough said!
Gave you goosebumps, eh? That's the power of AC/DC for ya! 😎
If you listen to their 2021 album Bryan Johnson is as goood as ever
So sweet watching you,being a Fangirl!Really cute!Great Band,great performance,just Legends!
That sound is like standing behind a jet taking off
As one reviewer said, who starts a song with a guitar shred? AC/DC. that's who!
you know that you on the Highway To Hell , when your vocal teacher gives the cam some hot dirty looks
So many wonderful australian singers for you to explore
I was fortunate to see the lads with Bon and Brian, actually met Bon after a concert and had a beer with Malcolm. Bon was......well Bon was already feelin' it. They didn't act like Rock stars, down to earth lads, really glad for the experience.
Hey may I suggest White Snake David Coverdale with the Deep Purple days for contrast like 2004 London concert Heart of The City and Cal Jams Deep Purple from the 70s Mistreated. Just a thought. Love your vids.
Brian hung out with Bon a bit in England, when their bands shared a stage. They asked Brian to audition specifically because the band remembered how impressed Bon said he was with him. He specifically mentioned a show he saw him do once because of how he thrashed and wailed and dropped to the stage for one particular number. Bon didn't realize it but Brian was cooung with an inflamed appendix.

Enjoying your reactions, and glad to see you checking out more metal bands. I have one you should check out if you have time. Band is "Tool" song is Sober. There is a live version i think you might find interesting. Thanks for your time.
Bon Scott, the original lead singer of AC/DC died in 1980, and Johnson got an audition to replace him based on recommendations, including from Scott himself, who had heard him sing one night. Only years later did Johnson realize they'd met.
like a premonition, a while before dying , Bon Scott told their mates that if he died, they should hire Brian Johnson
ACDC 4 EVER
You have the most perfect smile. 😊
Bethany, to reinforce your closing comments about how impressively Brian replaced Bon, a year after her son died Bon's own mother attended one of Brian's performances in Sydney, Australia, and told him afterward, "Our Bon would be so proud of you, son."
Last time they were hear I could hear them 15kms away at the outdoor oval
