Matt Nathanson and his band were playing at a concert in Clifton Park, New York, when he strummed the first couple of chords of “You Shook Me All Night Long” by AC/DC. They hadn’t planned on playing the song, but the crowd went wild, so they played a few more chords. It’s a song every rock musician at least sort of knows, even if it’s been years sine they played it. They still weren’t committed to playing the entire song until the audience started singing, and from there there was no turning back. From the YouTube page:
As Matt brought Andrew McMahon onstage to do Tom Petty's "American Girl" he tore into the riff for "You Shook Me..." and the crowd just took it from there. You can see drummer Chris Lovejoy and guitarist Aaron Tap exchange glances and then Andrew asks Aaron "What's happening?" and Aaron responds, "I don't know" - it just kept getting better from there! Aaron Tap kills the guitar solo (as Matt notes after the song) - bravo!(via reddit)
