AC/DC - 'The Jack' (Toronto Rocks, July 2003)

She gave me the queen
She gave me the king
She was wheelin' and dealin'
Just doin' her thing

She was holdin' a pair
But I had to try
Her deuce was wild
But my ace was high

But how was I to know
That she'd been dealt with before?
Said she'd never had a full house
But I should have known

From the tattoo on her left leg
And the garter on her right
She'd have the card to bring me down
If she played it right

She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
She's got the jack

Poker face was her name
Poker face was her nature
Poker straight was her game
If she knew she could get you

She played 'em fast
And she played 'em hard
She could close her eyes
And feel every card

But how was I to know
That she'd been shuffled before?
Said she'd never had a royal flush
But I should have known

That all the cards were comin'
From the bottom of the pack
And if I'd known what she was dealing out
I'd have dealt it back

She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, and who knows what else
She's got the jack, yeah yeah
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
She's got the jack

She's got the jack, she's got the jack
Hmm, it was a bad deal (jack)
She gave me the (jack) eh
She's got the (jack), she's got the (jack)
She's got the (jack), ooh, can you tell she's got the (jack)
(Jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack)
(She's got the jack, she's got the jack)

She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, you'd never know but she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, it hurts (she's got the jack)
She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
She's got the jack Ahh

(Boo!) Thank you, thank you, thank you people, thank you
Thank you, I'm glad you liked the show
Yes, thank you very much folks
Good night and God bless

Δύο δεκαετίες (και πλέον) πίσω στον χρόνο μας γυρίζουν οι AC/DC και μας παρουσιάζουν βίντεο με την "ζωντανή" τους απόδοση στο κλασικό τους τραγούδι "The Jack". Πότε και που έγιναν όλα αυτά; Τον Ιούλιο του 2003 στον Καναδά (Τορόντο, Downsview Park).

Το τραγούδι "The Jack" το ηχογράφησαν τον Μάιο του 1975 (Alberts studios, Sydney).

Είναι αξιοσημείωτο το ότι ο Bon Scott έγραψε δύο διαφορετικές εκδοχές στους στίχους, μία για τις συναυλίες και μία (πιο "κυριλέ") για τον δίσκο "T.N.T." που κυκλοφόρησε τον Δεκέμβριο του 1975 σε Αυστραλία και Νέα Ζηλανδία, ενώ το επόμενο έτος (Μάιος 1976) "βγήκε και στον υπόλοιπο κόσμο με άλλο τίτλο ("High Voltage" - ο οποιος είναι και ο τίτλος του ντεμπούτου τους, μπερδευτήκατε;).

Η διαφορά στις δύο εκδόσεις είναι δύο τραγούδια: στην θέση του "Rocker" και της διασκευής στο "School Days" του Chuck Berry υπάρχουν τα "Little Lover", "She's Got Balls" που τα γνωρίσαμε στο ντεμπούτο των AC/DC (ξέρω, τώρα σας μπέρδεψα περισσότερο)!
