Hello there! l have been going through my memorabilia from my days with AC/DC as their bass player. l may be listing some cool AC/DC related items in the future so stay tuned.

On offer is an original issue of the now infamous AC/DC tour program from 1976. From the "Giant Dose of Rock and Roll" tour, celebrating our return to Australia after our first UK/Europe tours.

All the best,
Mark Evans, Sydney, Australia.

Here's a run down on this exceptionally rare AC/DC collectable,

" Tagged as the “holy grail” of AC/DC collectables this tour program is a rarity for two reasons: it was issued only in Australia and it was quickly banned!

This tour book was issued in 1976 during the band’s ‘A Giant Dose Of Rock & Roll’ tour and a very limited number of the programs were produced. Created for the bands ‘down under’ gigs only makes it scarce but considering the small number of shows planned (around 20 total) now we’re talking mega-rare.

A few shows into the tour the program was withdrawn forcibly by the authorities because the powers that be deemed AC/DC to be a threat to the social morals of Australia’s youth. A certain minister of the Australian parliament denounced the band as “a cause for the moral decline in the nation’s youth.”

A politically incorrect quote on bassist Mark Evans’ page detailing what he wished to do with Rod Stewart 's then wife Brit Eklund , combined with the negativity generated due to guitarist Angus Young s strip/moon routine, bred enough high voltage to shut the presses down. The tour program was pulled immediately and all production was stopped on making future copies."


In excellent condition as shown in the photographs.
