Rolf Harris Pelted With Bottles And Full Beer Cans

- In 1979, a New Year's Eve concert on the steps of the Sydney Opera House turned into a drunken bloodbath. Shortly after walking on stage (but not shown in this clip), Rolf Harris picked up one of the empty beer cans hurled at him and went to take a drink. "Ahh, it's empty!" Funny?
Soon, full cans of beer came flying out of the crowd. Harris got hit at least 3 times. Unfortunately, he sustained no injuries.
Later in the evening, however, Australia's legendary hard rockers The Angels were hit by cans, empty champagne bottles and sheets of signage, ripped from the front of the stage.
This was Australia's Altamont. Live concerts at the Sydney Opera House were banned for decades. Such levels of drunkenness and random violence were not unusual in Australia, then or since. Numerous people walked away with bleeding head wounds, 65 people were taken to hospital, and more than 40 were arrested.
Let's face it, we are here for the comments.
I met Rolf Harris at Gatwick airport last year. He said he was off to Tampa with the kids
Love the Username ❤
😂😂 idiot
He saud the same to me in florida
Class
😂😂😂
I seen Rolf Harris one time in town, shouted at him ' i remember you doing 2 little boys in 1979' he shouted back ' piss off that was Jimmy Saville '
Hahaha, good one :)
😂😂
😂😂👍
How about that then. Perverts they were.
😂😂
It doesn't make me angry, just makes me sad at how some of our childhood TV icons have fallen
He got a little boy to climb up on his horse?
Does that apply to Rod Hull? 📺
@trixiek942 Someone actually gets it..😄
@@B400 I got it too, after thinking about it for a few moments!
@@reddwarfer999 Switched on you are....
"....Can you tell what I am yet........."
It's just a pity that nobody brought any grenades.
It was ridiculous that such a smaltzy act as Harris was put on that bill. It was a rock and pop line up and most people there there to see the hard rock pub band, The Angels. The show was broadcast live on tv and Harris was there for variety to entertain the little kids and mums and dads at home. The drunk teens and 20 somethings weren’t having it. Harris was hooked early to try and appease the crowd by getting The Angels on early. Unfortunately by then, pelting the stage had become a game for the crowd and it was ironically Doc Neeson, the singer from The Angels, who the crowd was there to see, who wore a large bottle in the head before the band were even halfway through their set. Thus ended the show and the crowd didn’t get to see the show they wanted to see so badly.
Informed comment that puts the video clip into perspective - thank you.
I've never heard of The Angels. Pretty neanderthal to not even let the band you went to see play because you threw things at them.
be better-informed if he had read the intro:
"Later in the evening, however, Australia's legendary hard rockers The Angels were hit by cans, empty champagne bottles and sheets of signage, ripped from the front of the stage. "
@@therespectedlex9794the Angels are known as "Angel City" on the international market.
Proves what I’ve always said: if they look like one, sound like one and act like one then they’re probably a children’s entertainer
The wisdom of crowds was actually right for once.
you spelt nonce wrong
I used to love Rolf Harris when I was younger and I was absolutely sickened when news emerged of what he'd been doing its a great pity most of what was thrown at him on stage appeared to have missed their target 🏴
Not as much as he would have loved you, when you were young 🤣
Me too, I loved his shows as a kid, especially watching him paint, and he seemed so sincere, decent and genuine. I was staggered when the news broke. Savile and Glitter, even Stuart Hall, were less of a surprise, but Rolf Harris... ?!?! Just goes to show that you never can tell.
@@justinneill5003 Rolf Harris drops his trousers.
"Can you tell what it is yet?"
@@raypurchase801 Yeah, I know, and “Jake the Peg” with his “extra leg,” the “Two Little Boys” with “two little toys”, it never gets old does it?
@@justinneill5003 Says to a little girl, "D'you wanna play my didgery doo? Practice on this first. Just press your lips to it..."
He got out his diggeridoo...and all f**king hell broke loose
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪😎😎😎😎mateeeee
God no
when he was in prison, I heard he learned to play the big black diggeridoo
I think that Audience could see into the future.....
It should have been bricks.
if they were thrown at you, then yes
The crowd must have known
So, those 100,000 people knew? But then everyone just forgot again?
They just didn't like him.
Nah anonymous crowds are just full of assholes.
Rolf was already a bit unpopular in Australia. Sort of Britain's Australian not theirs.
There was at least one young man, maybe early 20s, shouting abuse at Harris from down the front. A member of the road crew said years later the shouter was very upset, didn't throw anything.
@@darryl_mason Was he one of the two little boys?
Imagine what they would throw now...
Well if we are talking about the BBC it would be a party!
i know but we must still treat this man with respect and call him Sir.@trixiek942
He touched so many
HAHA!! 😂😂 Yes he certainly did the nasty nonce
👍🏻
Especially 2 little boys and their wooden horse!
@@kt47793 : Alot of his fans still think its Nonce-sense 😃👍
@@garytwitchett9359 lol 😂😂😂 very good unfortunately its true too
You have to understand that most Australians thought of Rolf Harris as a mediocre, anodyne performer who pandered to audiences in a transparently awful way. The fact that he was exposed as a predator decades later...well, I don't think everyone was surprised.
Even Jason Donvan came to England to sing, the english love the aussi rejects.
I have to confess, with respect to ANY victims, of ANY of these people, I AM surprised at the other names, if people being caught on the yew tree list, because if I had his singing and artistic talents, and the warmness to my mind, that Stuart Hall apparently hid behind, with his amusing hee hee hee laugh, I would be wanting to wake up to myself, and say, "WHAT AM I DOING?" if I knew I was doing this terrible stuff.
I don't know. Mass hysteria can be a funny thing. Especially with a bunch of drunken Ozzies. Harris was found guilty of groping. And he was denied a retrial. I wonder why. He was found guilty by a jury. Not by a judge. Remember O.J. Simpson was found innocent by a jury. But guilty by a judge in the latter civil court. Later more people accused Harris, but he was not found guilty. And one of his groping cases was later overturned. According to Wikipedia.
@@Deontjie ah yes because, the site that anyone and anybody can edit, is a very reliable source of Info
My mum actually said that even though he was an assumed talented man, she said she had this bad feeling whenever she saw him on TV. Like she somehow knew he was creepy in some way. Well, when I found out what he did only last year, boy she was RIGHT!
He was expecting a big hand on his entrance instead the audience gave him a ‘four x’
a loud "XXXX off" 😂😂😂😂
Certain members of the Australian Cricket team weren't the only one caught ball tampering
LOL😁
He was very friendly with the Royal Family
I loved Rolf as a kid.
I'm sure he'd have loved me, too.
He wasn't into males.
@@CrankCase08he was actually.
@@Leeann-rz3ei I can't find any record of it.
Does not matter he loved men same as you do.
@@CrankCase08 2 little boys a hit record he had
I remember watching tv when in primary school and this bearded man on a kids show in England showed locally in Australia talking about what a success he has been in England , and he had a pre pubescent girl sitting on his lap and he was rubbing her thighs , I was about in grade seven at the time , but remember thinking this is wrong
obviously his victims were in the crowd
people used to pelt 'anti-comedian' ted chippington with beer cans and he just used to pick them up and drink them gratefully. the more he got pelted, the happier he was
''5 pence, can't be bad...instead of throwing coins at me, if you could all just chip in and buy me a couple of pints after the show, I'd really appreciate it''
Couldn't have happened to a nicer man.
How this bloke managed to become a mainstay of TV for decades never fails to amaze me. Notwithstanding his devious sexual behaviour. We must have been so gullible.
Dever underestimate the stupidity of the general populace
I remember his show well and we loved it as kids and thought ralf was a nice man and great fun scary but for the grace of god there go any of us or our kids.
No different to Saville in UK, seems white anglos love their peados
You can thank the corrupt BBC for that, they covered for him and Savile
It was his devious sexual behaviour that saw him last on the BBC for decades.
One of the rules of showbiz presentation:
Unless you really do enjoy being pelted with beer cans or bottles whilst on stage, DON'T try to bullshit the crowd by pretending that you are loving it.
The basis of this rule?
It's that so many of these open air projectiles events can often turn into the gift that just keeps on giving.
You're talking out of your arse.
As Bernard manning said ''Rolf Harris, what does that man do? My mom thinks he's a painter and decorator''
😂😅.. Very good..
Bernard also said 'Tie me kangaroo down sport ' what's that all about ? Dirty bastard !
@@rogernevin7461 True he did😅 Jake The Peg , and Two Little Boys ''what's going on?''.
I read somewhere that he used to go on TV shows and say I NEVER TOUCHED HER YOUR HONOUR as a catch phrase in the early 70s
Those thrown items are from folks who already knew …
Entertainers of this generation are terribly misunderstood.... when I was young, Jimmy Saville took me to the television Centre in London and fixed it for me to Milk a Cow Blindfold.... whilst in the next studio, you could hear Rolf doing two little boys.....🙂
Good times......
Sounds like the therapys not going to good
And Gary Glitter asked all the under 12's if they wanted to be in his gang and Stuart Hall was hosting an edition of Jeux San Noncieres.
That is old one
Lmao
You're not wearing rainbow socks?
I met Rolf when I worked at a local theatre, he seemed like a genuine guy, got his autograph too. I always liked his art and easygoing nature... Shame he turned out to be a sex offender.
One of the counts against him got overturned only a few years later when it was found there was no evidence he had attended the community centre where the alleged assault occurred, let alone abused anyone there. It makes me nervous of the other counts, lots of stories like yours suggesting he was a genuine guy
@@MichaelGeorge161
I think he was okay, but, maybe he did do some inappropriate things.
It is strange that when loved public figures get disgraced, we tend to only remember them for whatever indiscretion they committed and not their work. Dunno... Mad world.
@@MichaelGeorge161Yeah I never felt right about the whole thing with Rolf to be honest, to me things just never quite added up so to speak, maybe he was used as a scapegoat for someone much higher up?
@ninjabluewings he was hung out to dry because of the abject failure of Operation Yewtree to come up with anything against anyone. Cliff Richard put up £2m of his own money for silks and they backed off. Rolf didn't do the same because he knew the so called evidence was so flimsy no court would ever allow it. He was wrong and lived to regret it.
Doc Neeson and Chris Bailey from The Angels were hit on the same stage that night.
1980 the fans were hitting 'the shit', it's 2014 and the shit is hitting the fan.... right Rolf
I remember when i was a kid Rolf had a stroke ..... he had lovely soft hands.
They must've loved him, there's still beer in them tinnys and bottles 😁
It'll be piss not beer.
'Have you worked out what it is yet ?' Looks like a full bottle of Newky Brown, in bound !
Rolf played the "Aussie" trope to the UK TV audiences, Australian people ignored him bcoz he was boring & lacked anything genuine. Now we know why. Wise crowd this one.
He was a favourite in Oz back in the 60s, very clever performer! Not ignored at all! But oh how the mighty have fallen!
@@jimcrawford5039 He recorded a version of Led Zeppelins's "Stairway to Heaven"
He was big in Oz 60/70s..
im irish so have no great regard for the uk .however queens artist rolf was a completely different act back home in australia .instead of the i love england schtick he did in the uk footage of a one man show he did in a club in melbourne in the 80s on you tube shows him in a different in front of the home crowd .he makes very insulting remarks about britain how stupid they all were at every oppourtunity . the crowd love it . he goes furthur proving to be a racist as well as a hypocrite.introducing the song willy my boy he says the stupid brits liked it cos they didnt understand it! it was my pisstake of the bloody abos! he pauses looks out ..any in tonight? its ok girls you dont have to watch your handbags youre safe from the thieving bastards.he goes on instead of a song about an old man giving advice to his son i saw it as two abos. one a really thick stupid old black ..you know the type ..abo whose never had a thought in his life giving what he thinks is advice to his equally stupid son . the sort put him in a house hell shit on the furniture and wipe his arse with the curtains! huge cheer from audience ! he then sings.hardly the beloved family entertainer the brits loved!
Missiles from the kids he assaulted.
I don’t know what it is about glasses and a beard that 8 year old girls find so irresistible
Stolen Frankie Boyle joke
ONLY IN A FATHERLY WAY
Obviously thinking about his ‘extra leg’
Diddle um diddle um....etc
I remember watching him on TV painting a portrait of a little girl. Unfortunately, there was a bit of confusion when she asked him to touch her up a bit..
They knew what Rolf was up to in his spare time.
Audience must have been a lot of teenage girls who were on his programmes
I met Rolf at my primary school in the 80s ..very disturbing to think about , considering what he was later found out to be
Why, what did he do at the school ?
@@melvisbrooks9664 Are you are a pedo supporter.
@@melvisbrooks9664 He rung the school bell!
He tolled it off?
One thing is certain..his peg leg wasn't the only thing on his mind
Rolf Harris : "Hey kids !" >Unzips pants< "Can you see what it is yet ?"
I have personally looked into the eyes of this man, and he was not happy!
When?
@@markyj23 At about the time when the accusations against him were only just beginning to appear in the public domain. It was at the Queen's Windsor Farm Shop.
@@CrankCase08 Well, that says it all really. Most of those who were exposed a few years ago were knighted and well in with Thatcher and the Tories.
Guess I must have misunderstood what vetting means. It must mean that they check to make sure that they are dirty filthy nonces before they hand out the gongs, not the other way.
@@oleggorky906 I think it's a pre requirement to be one of a list of deviants to be considered in the first place.
@@neilisagum7623 It certainly appears that that is the case.
Anyone who can stand there and sing in front of that must be brave as hell . . .. !!!
Did they know something we didn't ?
They knew he was a wrong un
I love it. Would have totally whipped batteries at him.
He was my family's neighbour when we lived in a flat in Malta. His was a holiday flat.
Definitely on point!
Didgeridoo throw away the cell key.
So wot was that extra leg ?
I seen him at an airport in Thailand
Excited to see him I ran and said
" wow Rolf Harris I seen you do two little boys "
He told me to F off and said it was not him but Garry Glitter
this was way before what happened,
What time does Rolf Harris go to bed? When the big hand is on the little hand😊😅😂
Do you think they knew something
I saw Rolf live and I was on Jim’ll fix it and not once was I touched.
It’s effected me all my life knowing that I was even to ugly for those two.
Im now 55 and my wife won’t come near me.
Life can be a funny thing sometimes.
That made me laugh because I actually used to go to youth chess training weekends run by a guy who was later exposed as a nonce- and never once had anything inappropriate even suggested to me. Oh well, we all have our cross to bear!
*affected.
I’m getting the word....
classic
This aged unintentionally
For a nation that does well in front of the stumps, the aim displayed here is pretty bloody shocking...
The nation doesn't do well in front of the stumps, you're speaking on a group of handpicked cricketers.
Individuals are either good or bad at throwing.
Maybe the aussies knew something us brits didn't at that time?
@trixiek942very likely.
So according to a news report of that event, Rolf Harris got off lightly compared to others
Hilarious 😂
When I was a kid this creep was always on TV and stupidly popular. My Dad really didn't like him and he couldn't say why, I didn't understand but I do now.
Well done crowd 😂😂😂
They all called him Sir.
He was a better painter than an entertainer in my opinion...that's all I can say about him without getting angry
Same as that Austrian guy.
at least Rolf Harris entertained more than Paul Hogan
As Bernard manning said ''Rolf Harris, what does that man do? My mom thinks he's a painter and decorator''
He did my lounge..
A measly five years and 9 months, and possibly released in half that time, so out by Christmas '17! Bastard should have been given life for attacking that 7 year old, as is the Law in Britain. He got away Scot free when he should have died in prison. He might still, hopefully, either by the angry inmates or old age and disease! Filthy, decadent, conniving swine...........
The Harris persecution is a scam by a few lawyers and their quest for money. These lawyers use long-term substance abusers seeking compensation money.
The sensationalist media prejudiced the jury for a year before the trial. I researched every smear the media produced and it was ALL just hysterical muck raking.
Take the 7-year-old 'victim' for example, the media love to imply to us that Harris abused a 7-year-old. In fact she is Wendy Wild, a 54 year-old long-term substance abuser. This is the best example the feminist media could use to promote the theme of the male perpetrator + female victim.
Wendy Wild decided to go for some Harris money after she went bankrupt.
In 2012 she alleged that Harris gave her a swift touch when she was at the head of an autograph queue, in a crowded community hall in Leigh Park, Portsmouth, 45 YEARS in the past.
Of course when this (fictitious) event happened, she didn't tell anyone and no one saw it happen. She didn't mention it until 2012 when the Harris estate was available for scamming, and after the CPS and the compensation solicitors started trawling for victims with the lure of compensation money.
It has been proven, by the police who were seeking evidence, that Harris was not at the location in Leigh Park, Portsmouth, where she alleges this happened. Harris was not there either 3 years before or 3 years after the year that Wendy Wild was 7 years old.
The police searched the news archives, they questioned the staff of the hall in Portsmouth, they letter boxed residents of the town and they interviewed people in aged care facilities.
The police who did all this work are disgusted that Wendy Wild's accusation still resulted in a conviction.
During the Harris trial she claimed Harris assaulted her after a rendition of the hit song, 'Two Little Boys' .. but this song hadn't been produced by Harris when she claims she was assaulted. (The song was written in 1902 to tell the story of two boys who grew up to fight in a war, with one saving other's life).
How this case wasn't thrown out very soon in the investigation is beyond belief. Her allegations were laughable.
It couldn't happen to a nicer guy 😁
That was weird Rolf being pelted with empty plastic bottles and beer cans and picked up the bottle and a beer can but it's empty to drink.
It must've been a very hot night and the KB Lager was flat.
KB lager was also known as kid's beer, scary fact.
The K.B. was known by those who loved BEER as 'Kid's Beer" seems ironic now. The evil bastard
COP THAT YOU HORNY OLD NONCE!!
They knew better
Why???
He must be blind as a bat he didn't flinch.
The audience obviously knew something the rest of us didn't.
Hasn't the world suffered enough after WW2 and the Rwanda genocide.
Rolf and Andrew are to become a double act called Two little Men
Pity those cans didn't knock him out or injured him the crowd must of had a bad vibe back then
Unfortunately they did knock out the lead singer of the headline act (Doc Neeson of hard rock band, The Angels who were massive in Australia at the time), when he was hit in the head with a bottle.
@trixiek942 just saying but you are right but if only time was turned back
Why did they do this, have i lost the story that ledd to it?
I was at that show. The whole day was weird. The vibe was sour from before lunch and fights were breaking out all day. If I recall the crowd was not reacting to him but the show itself. I think John English was on before him, and for reasons I dont recall his set was cut short, something like only 10 minutes of a 40 minute gig. Anyway after that no one was interested in listening to kids songs for an hour. After the show things were no better. There were running battles at the train stations and even on the trains
Real estate swindle.
Should've stuck to playing with his stylophone...
This happened like over 30 years before the news came out of what he did. Wonder why they hated him in 79 🤔
Real estate swindle.
he had more talent that you'll ever have so do not be jealous of him cos you're a nothing.@trixiek942
I hope the beer cans were filled with "recycled " beer😂
It wasnt mentioned WHY he was being booed.
It had nothing to do with him. The previous act had their set cut short. And the crowd who was already in a mood reacted to the next thing to come on stage.
For Aussies to throw their beer away like that we'll there is obviously no love lost there 😂😂I bet it was the 5% stuff 😂😂😂😂
Pretty sure wasn't Carlton.
No it was full on piss water who gives a 4 xxxx beer 😆
@leewoodley4329 cheers for that I really needed a Saturday night laugh.Hopefully my next laugh will be when Fiji beat England bell ends in the Rugby World Cup.
@@scottrichards4532 I don't really give a 4 xxxx for the rugby either 😆👍
@leewoodley4329 ok lol well I was cheering for the Aussies last night against England overpaid primmadonna football team 🤣
None of the girls liked drinking KB Lager anyway.
Must of been a the kids choice awards🤨
Must *have been.
They must have heard everything about him. Very surprised on how he turned out like Jimmy Seville predictors in disguise. 😢
that aint beer in those cups :D
Im getting the word NONCE ........
They knew.....
Oh dear.
hahah ACDC bailed on them and they were pissed LOL
Why were they throwing stuff at him?
They were drunk and wasted and it was near the end of the show.
Because they were PISS heads.
Because his act was shite.
Did they not like the way he represented Australia?
because he was a crap entertainer and the crowd were completely munted... very few people back then knew (or even suspected) Rolf of being a nonce
Well I guess they knew long before we did. Either that or they didn't want to hear Two Little Boys.
It's like they saw the future!
I can't imagine him lasting long in prison not with all those gangs he will be bullied and pushed about on a daily basis. An 84 year old pensioner can't take being knocked about. Especially when old people have brittle bones.
He can still appeal. Any how, he only has to serve 2.5 years in protected accomodation and then can go back to his mansions. Maybe even sooner because of his poor health. He's a victim of a witch hunt and all the naysayers beware some old rat doesn't jump out at you in 20 years and say he patted my bottom. What a joke.
Pure bullocks.
noyfb
Being friends means nothing. That's a stupid argument. They relied on ages old accusations not proven facts. The proof is subjective and at the whim of a jury. Jury's always rule based on emotions and not the law. So yeah, he sure as hell was not convicted beyond a reasonable doubt!
Jaqueline Safra he's got a beard ffs....guilty guilty guilty
I met him in 2013 ....shook his hand and saw in his eyes his reaction after I did not have the right kind of pen for an autograph.....I was 50 at the time with many life's experiences...had a real bad feeling about him as I said to my friends,
He was NOT what HE PORTRAID ...Good luck in Hell ...WANKERRR
Do you know what the right kind of pen is?
What did he actually do ?? What was he charged with ??
Stealing sweets nothing more than that.
they knew
