Thank you Uwe. That made my day.
Always hilarious to see Bon with the bagpipes having fun, trying to impress the dancing chicks.
I think Bon actually sang live along with the tape on this one.
At 1.20 you hear him miss a part of the lyric while the tape goes on.
He sings live, yup, though the backing track features his vocal too, hence the fat and slightly delayed vocal sound. And the vid demonstrates his rogue charm like no other. It's how I remember them from 1976 as openers for Rainbow - and though I found their music simplistic and repetitive then and now (to which an AC/DC fan would of course say: "So? And what's not to like about that?!"
), they were refreshingly cocky. Initially, in Germany, they were tagged as a "punk band of sorts for a young factory worker audience". That had a lot to do with Scott's weathered street credibility.
I have to thank
you, Holländer! I now own a piece of lovely art by Lea, and your clandestine support in getting her a picture of the Buchholz-Bird has been revealed to me. Bedankt!!!
