AC/DC Holland 1979 Pre-FM Reel

Bon Scott’s masterpiece soundboard from his later years has been upgraded. It is now available as the ultimate Gene pre-FM reel sound. This work is engraved with the “November 12, 1979 Amsterdam performance”. It is a stereo soundboard recording recorded at the end of Bon’s last “HIGHWAY TO HELL Tour”. At that time, the breakthrough was in full swing, and the countdown was on towards the tragedy of Bon. It was such an important time, so let’s start by looking back at the schedule at that time. 1979 May 8-July 21: North America #1a (45 performances) {July 27: “HIGHWAY TO HELL” released} July 28-August 5: North America #1b (8 performances) August 17-September 1: Europe #1 (8 performances) September 5-October 21: North America #2 (37 performances) October 26-December 21: Europe #2 (45 performances) ←★Here★ 1980 January 16-27: Europe #3 (10 performances) {February 19: Bon Scott dies} This is the journey from 1979 to Bon’s death. The Amsterdam performance of this work is the 15th performance of “Europe #2”. Speaking of 1979, the official video of the Paris performance “LET THERE BE ROCK: THE MOVIE” is a symbol, but this work was also a concert about one month before that. This show is also known for being broadcast on FM, and has long been a staple (by the way, the opening act on this day was JUDAS PRIEST, who joined Dave Holland immediately after. You can listen to three songs from the FM sound source on the day on our “ON AIR 1979 (Shades 900)”). This work is also a standard sound board, but it is also the best of its kind. Its true identity is the pre-FM master. It is not a broadcast master recording, but it is digitized directly from the pre-FM reel master. It is truly the ultimate Gene masterpiece. In fact, the sound is completely official, but extremely fresh and low. It is not at all inferior to “LET THERE BE ROCK: THE MOVIE” a month later, but the individuality is clear by comparison. While the official version was compact and well-balanced, this work is raw and rough. The thick core runs wild without hesitation, and even the finest details are screwed into your brain. The outline of each sound is outstanding, and the punch of the powerful core is enormous, yet lustrous. The groove approaches you and the beat feels good to be beaten… it’s a pleasant sound. The sound depicts Bon’s show at the height of his power. It is longer than the old FM sound source, so let’s check it out while sorting it out. ・High Voltage: Live Wire (★) / The Jack / High Voltage ・Villain and Hell: Rocker (★) ・Rock Spirit: Hell Ain’t a Bad Place to Be / Bad Boy Boogie / Whole Lotta Rosie / Let There Be Rock (★) ・Power Age: Sin City ・Highway to Hell: Shot Down In Flames / Walk All Over You / Highway To Hell *Note: The “★” mark indicates songs that were not heard on the air check sound source. … and so on. Although there are three more songs than the conventional master, “Girls Got Rhythm” was also confirmed in the audience recording on the same day, so it seems that it is not the full version. As a result, it is a style that is like a compressed version of “LET THERE BE ROCK: THE MOVIE”, but it is the performance itself that exudes that dense feeling. It may be because of the low mix, but the rush of the rugged ensemble far surpasses the official live album, and the dynamism and groove are intense. Along with that, Bon’s broken shout is also super live. At the time, an overseas review said, “I want to stick my head into an AC/DC amp and die,” and although I definitely don’t want to do that, I can easily imagine “It might be like this if I did it…”. It’s such a high-class sound. Even in the history of rock, which is full of heroes, there was no other band as intense, charismatic, and rock and roll as “AC/DC in the Bon era”. This is the highest peak of the ultra-realistic soundboard that will let you experience the live performance of that heyday in your brain. I want to launch this work with the inscription “This is Rock ‘n’ Roll” on a space probe for aliens. This is the ultimate decision board of that dimension. The finest stereo soundboard recording of the “Amsterdam performance on November 12, 1979”. A masterpiece created from the master reel of the pre-FM, which is the highest peak of the standard soundboard. The sound is as fresh and raw as the official work “LET THERE BE ROCK: THE MOVIE”. The rough and raw mix has a thick core that runs wild without any hesitation, and even the fine details are twisted into your brain with a binge. “Live Wire”, “Rocker”, and “Let There Be Rock”, which could not be heard on conventional air checks, are delicious, and the rushing power of the rugged ensemble surpasses the official live album. This is an absolute record from Bon Scott’s final years. Live at Jaap Edenhal, Amsterdam, Holland 12th November 1979 (79:55) 1. Live Wire 2. Shot Down In Flames 3. Hell Ain’t A Bad Place To Be 4.
