Original AC/DC Singer Dave Evans Plays A Whole Lotta Acca Dacca In France

AC/DC’s original lead singer Dave Evans played a show in France on Saturday night and gave the audience a whole lotta early AC/DC.

Dave Evans was the lead singer of AC/DC from 1973 to 1974 before being replaced by the band’s roadie Bon Scott. Dave was the singer of the first AC/DC single ‘Can I Sit Next To You Girl’ b/w ‘Rockin in the Parlour’, released in Australia in 1974. The line-up for the song was three Young brothers. Angus and Malcolm’s brother George Young, who produced the song with Harry Vanda, played bass. Colin Burgess, previously the drummer for The Masters Apprentices, played drums.

The song was hardly a hit, peaking at no. 50 in Australia. AC/DC re-recorded ‘Can I Sit Next To You Girl’ with Bon Scott for the second album ‘TNT’ in 1975.
