45 years ago, AC/DC already had a nice repertoire of songs to make great concerts and a glorious live album. And so, their first live album was recorded on 30 of April 1978 in Glasgow, Scotland, birthland of Angus Young, his brother and bandmate Malcolm, their parents and Stevie, nephew of Angus and Malcolm, also becoming their bandmate. Bon Scott, the band's singer back then, was also Scottish. This live album, released that year on October 27, was named "If You Want Blood You've Got It" and it was an energy blast.
I remember listening to this album entirely played back in late 1978 by António Sérgio in his radio show Rotação and it was an absolutely thrilling moment!
To recall that moment I've chosen the monumental "Let There Be Rock". I would also like to post "Whole Lotta Rosie" but, unfortunately, there are no videos at all of this song played in that concert, only audio recordings. So I'm showing that song played 6 months before during another memorable concert in London, which happened precisely one year before the release of "If You Want Blood", curiously.
Enjoy. God save Rock'n'Roll and Let the Sound Be With You.

Há perto de 45 anos, António Sérgio despejava a quase totalidade de um álbum que era uma explosão de energia, no seu programa Rotação que era uma coisa diabólica, relegada para as madrugadas da eclesiástica Rádio Renascença.
O álbum, chamava-se "If You Want Blood You've Got It" de uma banda então pouco conhecida de escoceses (principalmente de Glasgow), parte deles radicados na Austrália. Foi o único álbum gravado ao vivo com o malogrado Bon Scott.
