"I distinctly recall was the first time we were headlining in London, at this venue called the Hammersmith Odeon," says Evans. "That is a great venue, a great indicator that you're on your way. It's a serious gig, we were getting ready to go on and Bon wasn't there! Earlier in the day he had decided to take the subway to the gig. Bon being Bon, he had a few drinks beforehand so he was feeling a bit relaxed. Needless to say he got on the right train going the wrong way! He ended up not showing up until 15 minutes after we were supposed to be on stage. Normally in that situation you're kind of like "what the F!", but as an indicator of what kind of a guy he was, he showed up and in his own cordial way said, 'I'm sorry guys lets go out there and play!' and we weren't angry. We knew he would never do anything like that on purpose and that he was such a warm soul. You couldn't get mad at him for more than a couple of minutes." Mark Evans' first-ever inside account of life in the classic AC/DC band includes countless tales of life on the road with Bon Scott, Angus Young, Malcolm Young, and Phil Rudd, from the barrooms of Australia to the palatial theaters of Paris and Stockholm. "Evans managed to render his book much like AC/DC's iconic hard rock: lean, raw, unflinching, and heavy on the riffs."-The Onion A/V Club "The meaty chapters spill plenty of details about the then-newbie rockers' early days."-Gibson.com "A treasure trove of insider info and intra-band intrigue. Worth every penny."-Decibel "One of my favorite reads this year"-GuitarWorld.com "Frank, personal, and heartfelt"-The Melbourne Herald Sun DIRTY DEEDS: My Life Inside/Outside AC/DC, by Mark Evans, is now available wherever books are sold in North America from Bazillion Points Books.
