AC/DC Live Performance of Hells Bells and More from Kaikan Dalichi Hall, Kyoto, Japan

Venue: Kyoto Kaikan Location: Kyoto, Kyōto, Japan Date: June 8, 1982

On June 8, 1982, AC/DC delivered a high-energy performance at the Kaikan Dalichi Hall in Kyoto, Japan, during a pivotal moment in their career. By this time, they had just released 'For Those About to Rock We Salute You' in 1981, which showcased their evolving sound and solidified their status in rock music. The live recording captures the band's powerful essence, featuring fan favorites like 'Hells Bells' and 'Shoot to Thrill.' Interestingly, this recording came shortly after the tragic death of their previous lead singer, Bon Scott, which greatly influenced their music dynamics. Brian Johnson had taken over the vocals, and his fiery presence became a hallmark of their live shows. This moment in history marked AC/DC at the peak of their raw energy, with a reputation for electrifying performances that still resonates with fans to this day.
