We always love when vintage Cleveland concert footage hits the web. Last week, a nicely upgraded AC/DC show from 1979 slammed onto Youtube (it was originally posted a year ago).
Angus Young is in fine form here.
Clevelanders of a certain age and rock ‘n’ orientation will remember that this night of concerts (July 28, 1979) was followed up by violence downtown. Pressure from city leaders, among other factors, led to the last World Series of Rock being held in 1980.
