MP3 two – Chevy – Chevy

As I was feeling left out of this Caithness love-athon, here’s a bonus AC/DC live track. Recorded live at Leith Theatre, Leith Town Hall, Leith on June 12th, 1976. Now, as I was still at primary school, I didn’t quite manage to get in, but I still get a wee thrill every time I walk past Leith Town Hall. Mrs H thinks it’s because we got wed there, so let’s keep it our little secret, eh?
