Interviews With Performers From Recent BON SCOTT Celebration Available
March 4, 2007, 17 years ago
As previously reported, on February 24th at Claremont Showground in Fremantle, Australia, more than 10,000 fans attended the BON SCOTT Celebration concert which featured performances from THE ANGELS, ROSE TATTOO, SCREAMING JETS and others. The man whom Scott replaced in AC/DC, singer DAVE EVANS, returned to Perth for the concert, his first gig 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.
Annie Vigliemo has recently posted an interview with some of the performers on her web site. More details are available here.
