One of the most influential rock bands in history, AC\/DC played their first show on Dec. 31, 1973 at a nightclub in Sydney, Australia.<\/p>\n

By 1980, the band was on a roll, known for its high-energy performances and predictably hard-charging songs. Their album Highway to Hell\u00a0was certified gold in America and made it into the top 25 Billboard album charts.<\/p>\n

The band was founded by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young; the latter died in 2017 at the age of 64<\/a> after suffering from dementia for several years. Angus remains the only continuous member of the band.<\/p>\n
