Newly discovered footage of AC/DC cutting promos for the Australian music program "Countdown" from 1976 apparently in an airport lounge area.

Looking at the footage it's fairly easy to see why this footage was never used. Terrible backlighting, poor sound and the inability for any of the members to get through a single promo without flubbing or being interrupted by airport announcements.

interesting footnote - Mark Evans, bassist on the first three albums is present.
