AC/DC
signed an international deal with Atlantic Records. They worked all
over the UK and Europe to establish themselves, touring almost constantly and
gaining invaluable experience on the stadium circuit supporting the top
hard-rock acts of the day including Alice Cooper, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Kiss,
Cheap Trick, Nazareth, Foreigner, Thin Lizzy, and The Who.
Their next album Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap was released in 1976. There were
slightly different track listings in different territories, and the album didn't
reach the US until 1981 (when AC/DC were at the peak of their popularity). After
1977's Let There Be Rock, Mark Evans was replaced by Cliff Williams.
AC/DC was first played in America on AM 600 WTAC in Flint, Michigan. The station
manager's manager and legendary promoter "Peter C" Cavanaugh, who had also
introduced The Who to America, booked the band to play Flint's Capitol Theater
in the Fall of 1977. The opening act was The MC5 who were briefly reunited and
agreed to play the event. AC/DC opened with Live Wire and closed with It's a
Long Way to The Top (If You Wanna Rock & Roll). The entire event is chronicled
in Cavanaugh's book Local DJ
They survived the punk rock upheavals of 1976 and 1978, partly because they were
tagged as a punk rock band by the British music press, a label they despise to
this day. They gained a solid cult following in the UK with their powerful
performances and outrageous stage antics; Angus Young quickly became notorious
for mooning the audience and the group was banned from several British venues.
Their meaty hard-rock sound and Scott's provocative, leering stage persona have
also reputed to have been significant influences on The Sex Pistols' lead singer
Johnny Rotten. |
