"A baptism of fire, fuelled by youthful naivety, stubbornness and folly:" What it was like to witness AC/DC in Australia in 1975... as a 10-year-old

.

I first saw AC/DC on television back home in Sydney, probably in the summer of 1975.

The band performed High Voltage on some early evening Saturday TV show. Sadly, it wasn’t their immortal debut on Countdown, the Australian music show, where they’d performed Baby Please Don’t Go with Bon Scott dressed as a schoolgirl, but High Voltage was released as a single in July 1975 (it had already served as the title for the band’s debut, released in February that year), and was the first song from sessions for the follow-up T.N.T., which would be released in December.
