Description
Double album with one sided pictured discs other side is blacks. Limited 175 numbered copies
When this album was recorded the band were still taking their first steps onto the international stage. The previous year had seen the release of their first two international albums: High Voltage – a compilation of tracks from their first two Australia-only releases – and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. Although the former was received somewhat tepidly, Dirty Deeds was a tremendous success and received multiple certifications worldwide, going Platinum in Germany, Silver in the UK, and 6 x Platinum in the U.S. In support of Dirty Deeds, the band set out on a mammoth tour across Australia and Europe, eventually moving on to the U.S. for the first time. Ac/dc would play a staggering 147 shows in 77 alone, concluding in Pittsburgh, PA on 21st December. The performance included here is from the initial leg of the tour, captured in the group s home city at The Haymarket, Sydney on 30th January. Broadcast in superb audio quality over FM radio, and including such early hits as Dirty Deeds Done Cheap , Rocker , High Voltage and Live Wire , this set serves as a fascinating example of a rock institution on the cusp of superstardom. What makes this album so special is that the previously three lost tracks from this night has been found in an excellent audience recording. These three tracks have been inserted into this album finally making it a complete performance recording. Three more tracks has been added as bonus from Barbarellas club in Birmingham on the 31st of July 1976
