Man! I just saw this! That guys talents are stupendous. The slack marionette stop-motion looking stance and moves, the teeth, which undoubtedly give that wispy beard its joie de vivre and balls, what’s hidden, sez I!
HBV, this video led me to watch a few more Fraternity clips and a few clips from some earlier band featuring Bon Scott, including one with him as the second singer in a jumpsuit-clad ensemble covering “Build Me Up Buttercup.” Have you ever seen that one?
My unintended investigation actually improved my feelings on Scott as a singer and stage presence. As a longtime AC/DC fan, how do these old clips make you feel?
Actually, I think it is neither a bassoon nor a bass recorder but a large woodwind-shaped bong.
And that is quite a clip/trip. Thanks.
I found the clip of Bon in The Valentines doing Build Me Up Buttercup. Wow. Probably a good thing that he didn’t live to see the youtube era, he might have died of acute embarrassment instead of acute alcohol poisoning.

I’d seen this before, but never to the point where ol’ Bon pulls out the BASSOON. Wowsers!

Hey,
it’s the anniversary of “Disco Demolition Night.” Proceed accordingly!

PS that’s not a bassoon, it’s a “great bass” recorder. Crazy either way, though!

The punk rocker is of course the one with the dingy teeth.
Thanks, Oats!
