LOST BROADCAST RECORDING FROM THE BAND S HOMETOWN IN 1977 By 1977, AC/DC were 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.
