00:01:50 - Let There Be Rock In Spanish, Pegas L. Rock is the fourth studio album by Australian hard rock band ACDC, released in Australia in March 1977.

00:02:08 - The band consisted of Angus Young, Led guitar, Bond Scott, Vocals, Malcolm Young, Rhythm guitar, Mark Evans, bass, fill-rug, drums.

00:02:26 - The song Let There Be Rock is an anthem of the band, since the song was released they played it in all their presentations.

00:02:33 - Let There Be Rock was co-written by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young and lyricist Bon Scott.

00:02:38 - Although it appears to be nothing more than a typically nonsensical rock anthem, this

00:02:43 - This is actually quite a sophisticated track, being a tribute to those who started the rock scene all over the world.

00:02:49 - In the beginning back in 1955 the white man had the schmaltz the black man had the blues as an allusion to the birth of rock and roll.

00:02:57 - The genre developed from Boogie Woogie, it is generally recognized that the first rock and roll song was, Rock at 88, to which Ike Turner was a highly unlikely contributor considering the way his music would develop, but then the two men who gave him the

00:03:10 - The rock and roll to the world in the first place were, if anything, even more unlikely.

00:03:15 - There was the white man, who had played Bill Haley, and the black man, a qualified beautician named Chuck Berry.

00:03:22 - Both Haley's, Rock Around the Clock, and Berry's, Maybell, were released in 1955,

00:03:28 - And as they say, the rest is history.

00:03:35 - ACDC's Let There Be Rock, captures the true meaning of rock and roll.

00:03:47 - Forceful, bold and downright exciting, what is immediately apparent about Let There Be

00:03:52 - Rock is its defined character.

00:03:54 - Despite scoring hits in its native Australia and gaining momentum in Europe thanks to increasingly memorable live shows based on in both showmanship and sweeping music, ACDC hadn't even sniffed the United States yet.

00:04:07 - Without a doubt, this song is one of ACDC's standouts.

00:04:10 - The intro of main riff creeps into your head until Bon walks in.

00:04:14 - These excellent lyrics talk about the birth of rock and roll, and are sung by Bon in the form of a church sermon, in the beginning, way back in 1955, just when you think the song it's over, it's not. And believe me, you don't want to in this ends.

00:04:40 - The band's bassist Mark Evans relates, For me, Let There Be Rock is the album where

00:04:45 - ACDC really became ours. We really, really started to sound like ACDC, obviously there

00:04:52 - There were other great tracks that we had done before that but for me that's when it all started to solidify and the band started to come alive.

00:04:59 - We spent the last year basically touring and came back here to Australia and did a few dates and then headed straight into the studio.

00:05:06 - For me, Let There Be Rock is just a great album from start to finish.

00:05:11 - It was the start of that definitive AC-DC style.

00:05:14 - Speaking of the songs Chromo Video, it's all just 5 or 6 minutes of Bon captivating you in the rock and roll pulpit with his story. He's amazing in that clip. He actually screwed up good in that video, I'm not sure if a lot of people know that. He broke his ankle during the part where he jumps off the pulpit.

00:05:37 - In 2022, I choose to continue listening to the rock podcast. Biographies anecdotes

00:05:44 - How the great musicians need to forge their spirit in the face of adversity.

00:06:14 - In the beginning, back in 1955, man didn't know about a rock and roll show

00:06:23 - And all that jazz, the white man had the schmaltz, the black man had the blues

00:08:22 - There were 50 million fingers learning how to play

00:08:27 - And you could hear the fingers picking

00:09:58 - And the music was good and the music was loud
