Bon Scott would be proud. Fists pumped in time to hard rock music under the searing sun at Claremont Showground yesterday (February 24th) as THE ANGELS, ROSE TATTOO, SCREAMING JETS and others paid tribute to the late, great AC/DC frontman.

More than 10,000 black T-shirt-clad rock fans of all ages descended on the showground for the Bon Scott Celebration concert, which was organised to raise money for a statue of the singer music magazine Mojo rated the greatest rock frontman of all time.

Despite the heat, entire families donned jet black AC/DC T-shirts to salute the Fremantle-raised singer who died 27 years ago.

Concert organiser and Angels drummer Graham “Buzz” Bidstrup said it was great to see a new generation of fans get into rock music that was up to 30 years old. He said they had easily raised the $100,000 needed to erect a bronze statue of Scott in Fremantle.

Long lines stretched outside when teen rockers THE FLAIRZ hit the stage about 4pm. An hour later, those long lines had shifted to the bars as local country rockers Kill Devil Hills played to about 4000 people.

The band called for the statue of Scott to be “30 or 40 feet tall, the biggest statue in Australia”.

The man whom Scott replaced in AC/DC, singer Dave Evans, returned to Perth for the concert, his first gig here since 1974.

Evans, who sang on AC/DC’s first two singles and is now based in Los Angeles, joined the PARTY BOYS on stage for 'Can I Sit Next To You Girl?', AC/DC’s first hit 33 years ago.

Various vocalists, including Scott’s former VALENTINES band mate Vince Lovegrove and Screaming Jets singer David Gleeson, then joined the Party Boys to rip out other AC/DC classics such as 'High Voltage' and 'Jailbreak'.

The celebration climaxed with an all-star singalong of 'It’s A Long Way To The Top', complete with THE CALEDONIAN SOCIETY SCOT PIPEBAND, the same bagpipe troupe that Scott joined as a teenager.
