AC/DC have played Melbourne 129 times to date. The first time was pre-Bon Scott, with Dave Evans as lead singer, on 15 August 1974 at Festival Hall, Melbourne. This was before the release of the debut album ‘High Voltage’ on 17 February, 1975 which FUN FACT: did not include the song ‘High Voltage’.

AC/DC’s first Melbourne show as Festival Hall was as support act to Lou Reed.

If you were there you were amongst the first people in Melbourne to hear songs that were to come from the next two albums. There were a lot of covers from Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley and the Rolling Stones. The only release AC/DC had at the time was their debut single ‘Can I Sit Next To You Girl/Rocking In The Parlour’ (released 22 July, 1974). The a-side was re-recorded with Bon Scott on vocals for the second album ‘T.N.T.’

The first ever Melbourne setlist from 17 February, 1975 was:

No Particular Place to Go (Chuck Berry cover)
Shake, Rattle and Roll (Big Joe Turner & His Blues Kings cover)
Heartbreak Hotel (Elvis Presley cover)
Love Song (released on High Voltage, 1975)
Can I Sit Next to You Girl (single, 1974)
Rockin’ in the Parlour (single, 1974)
Soul Stripper (released on High Voltage, 1975)
Rock ‘n’ Roll Singer (released on TNT, 1975)
Show Business (released on High Voltage, 1975)
School Day (Ring Ring Goes the Bell) (Chuck Berry cover) (released on TNT, 1975)
