I remember it well (don't know why I didn't think to post it).
I saw AC/DC in August 1979 supporting The Who at Wembley Stadium and was very impressed. I nearly went to see them again in November, but there were a lot of concerts at the same time and I wasn't in a well-paid job! Other concerts took priority. Then when he died I wished I'd gone to see them a second time. :\'(

I didn't realize that Graham Chapman was dead. What a shame! He was so good in the Monty Python comedies. I always wondered what had become of him, since he hadn't appeared in any movies in so long. RIP, Graham :\'(

Laura Branigan did an excellent version of that song on her 1990 album "Laura Branigan".
