Expert: Bill V. Date: 12/14/2007 Subject: "High Voltage" Music Special 76' 77' 79'
Question Hello,
I have an AC/DC special called "High Voltage". It's BBC recordings from 76' 77'
79'. I was wondering if you could give some background information? What was
the date of the shows, the venue and any other info on the shows and
recordings. Thank you. The 1976 version of Soul Stripper is the coolest thing
I've ever heard.
Answer Hello Bryan,
Thank you for your question. I would need more specific information regarding the "AC/DC Special" you are referring to, but I'm assuming it's either a radio show broadcast CD or a bootleg.
The BBC recording from 1976 that you are referring to (with "Soul Stripper") is commonly known as the "BBC Transcription Services" broadcast from 1976. This took place at the Paris Theatre, London, England, September 4, 1976.
