AC/DC: Nashville Rooms, London
Caroline Coon, Melody Maker, 8 May 1976
AC/DC'S SINGLE 'IT'S A Long Way To The Top', has a lot to answer for. First, since its weird, bagpipe-drone of a break sounded unusually imaginative, it promised a 'live', bright new band of Aussie-rockers who; putting the boot in nostalgia, were propelling their sound into the soon-to-be-upon-us sci-fi age.
