Hi from Australia, Billy went to Salisbury High & was in my brother's class when he left the principal said he'd never mount to anything, yrs later he played at a school dance just to prove the man wrong. How great is that

Billy still gives me shivers as he did when I was just a kid. Simply the Best.

I saw Thorpie play not too long before he passed. Most of the classics, still extremely well performed. At one point, Bill had to tweak his amp, giving the crowd a wry smile as he donned glasses in order to see the settings. "Don't worry mate," I thought at the time, "it's catching up to all of us..." RIP Thorpie. Glad that I lived during your reign.

A true rock god of Aussie music, Billy we salute you.

If Billy had been lead singer of AC/DC, older farts like me might have understood the fucking words to the songs after Bon Scott's death. Billy was, and still is, the best rock singer in Aussie music. Gone but sure as Christ not forgotten.

What an Australian Music Legend. 😢

that is my dad in the blue shirt on bass John bluie Watson oxoxoox

I thought that stevie wright was in this concert. I don't see him here. Stevie wright was a great performer and legend and song writer. He was in the Easybeats. The group that is responsible for AC DC. Who would go on to be a great performer on his own.❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉. You should have at least mentioned his name😢😢😢. Give him some of the credit he deserves for his contribution to your Australian music❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

If there were no Billy Thorpe there would be no Rock music scene in Australia. A true legend!!!!!!

Billy!! How we miss Billy...words can't explain!....RIDIN' DOWN THE HIGHWAY!!!!!!!

A lot of Aussie legends in that line up. From the show "Long Way To The Top"

That would’ve been some concert. Just looking at a lot of those legends there. Some of them are still here today but some of them are no longer with us.❤️

TURN IT UP LOUD - NOW TURN IT UP LOUDER

Used to watch them for free at Coolingatta Beach on theGold Coast, Queensland . I was around 12 years old, noww 66. So in the very early 60's. Poison Ivy I think was one of their songs.

Some of Australia's finest singers & musicians performing this song with Billy Thorpe.

What a legend, wish you were here Bill

Damn, this gave me goosebumps. The rhythm section in this is pure rock solid and an absolute joy to behold. Looking for this on DVD now.

Love you Billy Thorpe! 🔥

Still the greatest

Billy was Australian rock pioneer

Still the best

This performance actually signalled the end of the golden era of Rock and Roll in Australia .

I am very proud to say that is my father-in-law in the blue shirt "bluey" watson rock on!!!!!

That would have been one hell of a show

Thorpie grooved best ROCK on any song he performed. Magic on AC/DC

I seen the 2002 concert 3 times, Wollongong, Brisbane & Sydney. 2003 Wollongong again and 2012 (10yr Anniversay) in Brisbane which imho just wasn't the same without Billy. Overall still the best concert I've EVER been to and I've seen a lot of live music!!

Adelaide gave birth to many a legandry Aussie musos. Only Australians know true Rock. ✌️🤘🇦🇺🏴

Can't get anything more special than Thorpe!!! We were all kids together never missed a concert, should have been with ACDC!!!!

Miss you Billy

as i now play you to a world wide internet audience it thrills and spills me to remember Stretch with the big blue bedford that was their road van .. living upstairs from my parents apartment in rainbow street ... and everything that rock n roll was then and what it is now .... the acknowledgement of the punters is what makes our rockstars so very special .. they all do it ... We're All in This Together .. come letz Rock !! till we make Uluru roll with us ...

best concert I have been to thanks Melbourne thanks rockers

Was at the Brisbane show! great time! and of course Billy never let us down, he was THE STAR!

Went to the 10 year anniversary concert last year.....was sad that Billy wasn't there - but a great Holograph. OZ talent is tops.

Wish they would do another of these concerts although I guess they are all getting a bit old and unfortunately some are gone but never forgotten

B....y brilliant. From concert tour of same name - 2002.

Bloody brilliant.....God bless Billy and Bon!

Harry B the great Bass player! Get down to the south coast of NSW - bring KB with you

I have watched this clip way way too many times. Can I watch it once more PALEEEZ

Man! Wouldn't that of been f#cking Awesome!

Thanks Bully

How good

JOK (and I love his work) may have started it but Billy Thorpe is the seed of most Aussie Rock n Roll. He even inspired The BGs not R&R I know but great talent.

Well I can tell there's a lot of Aussies here Chico Rolls , omg I didn't mind them at all 😂there's some right names there on stage with Billy ! God bless him ! The world has missed out on some brilliant Aussie talent over the years , Wendy , Billy , Max , Doug, all the way through ! Saw them all for nothing at TC's Brisbane every Saturday morning , Zoot and a whole lot more , fantastic times, and free!

FURK YEAH BILLY

We miss ya Billy !!! R.I.P

I went to see Billy live back in the 90's. Some douchebag started shit with me and I ended up outside punching on. Cops rocked up and I was in the dock for the next 4 hours. Never got to see him live....

Now rockin out in heaven with Bon Scott God bless them both for all they gave to their fans. Rest in eternal peace but not too much peace.... rock on.... Terri S

Legendary .....

Stunning Line Up!

RIP, William.

Australian Rock Legends

R. I.P. Billy

AUSSIE CLASSIC ! "It's a LONG WAY TO THE "SHOP"if YA WANNA SAUSAGE ROLL " !!! one of very few regrets in life was not being able to see "KING BILLY" live ! LONG LIVE THE KING ! Aussies in that lineup I have had the privilege to see live are "Phil Manning with and without chain" "Kevin Borich express" "Brian Cadd" "Frankie J Holden ol 55 " Glenn Shorrock in LRB" "Russell the bloody legend Morris" ! Lots of them lived and gigged in LA .

What a GREAT cover

all i got to say thank u KZfaq for diggin up the past and have to agree with Ramdo

Thorpie at the office, dead set legend. Rip.

what a legend.

Susan you must feel so proud of your dad. John bluie Watson.

Ah nice

Hello Harry! good one.

Was going so great, UNTIL the horns??? Need the bagpipes!!! It's still a great cover of one of the best guitar shredding songs of all time!!!! Notice when AC/DC plays this, ol Malcolm is sure strokin his guitar!!!! His playing, along with the bagpipes makes "It's a long way to the top" my favorite song by AC/DC!!!!! Now, this is only my opinion.

He's alive & well , saw him at the local Aldi & woollies .

Powerful voice best version ever!

Vale Billy Thorpe. Vale Jim Keays.

Great muso

Hahahahaaaaa.... this is really good!

Still has the voice!

Yummy Billy, RIP

The audience shots look like scenes from Cocoon, Just no aquatic activity!

🙏🎶🎶🎶 🎸

Это вечный кайф!!!

its a long way to the shop to get a chico roll

love all of you, oh but Russ and Billy, yumo

It's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll.

Hell, Billy don't need no bagpipes!

It's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll...

R I P AUSSIE ROCK

Turn your headphones up to 11

Borich and Thorpe 😊let me shred

@Harry Brus When and where was this? (Would be good if you put it in the description)

i find it amusing that with aLL those people not one member of the band they're covering is up there..

one word MAGIC

What concert was this? Looks almost like a who's who of early 1970's Oz rock.

Don’t lend 😢
