AC/DC: 1974 Video For 'Can I Sit Next To You Girl' Posted Online - Apr. 9, 2006

Original AC/DC singer Dave Evans' official web site has been updated with the video for AC/DC's "Can I Sit Next To You Girl" single. Check it out at this location.

"Can I Sit Next To You Girl", featuring Dave Evans on vocals, was AC/DC's debut single. The clip was recorded around May 1974 for release on Australian national TV. It was taped at The Last Picture Show venue in Cronulla, Sydney, which was originally a movie theater before it became a rock venue. All the top acts, including AC/DC, would play there.

AC/DC had originally been a jeans-and-t-shirt type band, and to coincide with the release of the single, it was agreed that the band would wear some outrageous costumes — including Angus with his schoolboy uniform — to catch the attention of the industry and the fans.

AC/DC began a national tour just after filming the "Can I Sit Next To You Girl" video and backed up LOU REED on a few shows in Melbourne and Adelaide.

"Can I Sit Next to You Girl" was voted the best Australian single of 1974.

	So Is Dave Evans Just Another Al Atkins?? And Is "Can I Sit Next To You Girl" Just Another "Victim Of Changes"?

	This is cool. Bob Scott will always be their best, but it's awesome to see this early footage with Evans.

	I dunno about the Atkins thing... Evans can actually sing... Atkins is a man-boobed joke.

	COMMENT \| Nothing new to the AC/DC collectors..... posted by : The Govner 4/9/2006 5:32:58 PM

	It's been in circulation for years and can be found with little effort on eBay. About 20 years ago I bought the 1st 45 from Australia for about $10 from a Goldmine seller's ad.....a nice investment!

	COMMENT \| Interesting, very interesting. posted by : King Dinosaur 4/9/2006 5:58:17 PM

	It's a good thing they got Bon. I don't think they would've gotten anywhere if this guy stayed in the band.
