Angus Young, Hammersmith Odeon, London, 1979

Angus Young of AC/DC performing at the Hammersmith Odeon, London, photographed by David Corio in 1979.

“This was the first hard rock concert I had ever been to. It was quite a shock as lead singer Bon Scott’s voice was piercing and the whole band played at such a high volume it was almost unbearable. Within 3 months Scott was to die after a heavy bout of drinking. When taking photos from the side of the stage I will often find my head is alongside the huge PA speakers and you have to grit your teeth very hard to stop your eardrums vibrating. Ear-plugs have very little effect as the decibel level is so high. I saw one fan in the audience with blood pouring from one of his ears – his ear-drum had been ruptured by the volume! I’ve seen this happen one other time at a Ted Nugent show at the same venue.” — David Corio
