AC/DC – Shoot to Thrill


This is a live performance by the Australian rock band AC/DC playing the song “Shoot to Thrill” live. The performance is from the 1991 gig AC/DC played at Donington.
The song first appeared on the band’s 1980 “Back in Black” album. The song also appears on “AC/DC Live” and on the “Iron Man 2” soundtrack. The song is credited to: Angus Young, Malcolm Young, and Brian Johnson.
It’s a great song and a great performance. I love how it throws in the Hendrix chord right before the chorus, great idea that adds variety to the sound of the song. It’s also a great showcase for Angus Young who delivers an amazing rock ‘n’ roll guitar solo for this one. Truly a great performance of an amazing song.

Enjoy ; )

Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze


This is a great performance of a great and innovative song. The song is innovative in that it uses the Hendrix chord (a E7#9) and uses distinctive tritones. The guitar solo is played through an Octavia pedal, a pedal that raises the pitch one whole step which was also unheard of at the time.
It's described as one of Hendrix's best songs, and by many as his signature song.
It's been covered on several occasions including a version from "Buena Vista Social Club" who covered it on the album "Rhythms del Mundo Classics"

A great performance, enjoy ; )
