RIP the two members of The Easybeats George Young (November 6, 1946 - October 22, 2017), aged 70 Stevie Wright (December 20, 1947 - December 27, 2015), aged 68 You both will be remembered as legends.
The certainly were a good band. Their background was noted back in the day, just wasn't pushed like such things are now. No such word as multiculturalism then. We had one band, HUSH with an asian playing in it sometime in the 70s.
One of the most underrated band unless your an Aussie. The Easybeats had a sound that was world class. David Bowie did a cover of one of their songs for his album. Idk why they never got as much recognition outside of Oz than they did. I surely appreciated they're music 🎶 ❤.
Hi Alan. Great memories but Stevie Wright was a drug addict and therefore the band really lacked consistency. During the 60s the market was flooded with some really fantastic bands overseas. It was difficult to rise to the top. AC/DC made up for it (Angus Young et al). Management also play a part. Eg. Bee Gees - home grown talent on Bandstand etc.
As a kid I grabbed their albums and played them over and over again for me they were just below the Beatles, The perfect Rock Band, I was exposed to all the Bands at the time but the Easybeats just stood out so much for me, A very important part of my Musical Journey, I was lucky enough to see them in 1987 on the reunion tour, For me Stevie and Thorpie, are the 2 greatest front men of all time...RIP legends thanks 🙏
Had a chance to have been lead singer for AC/DC except heroin got in the way! RIP Stevie , Bon, George and Malcolm! Thank you for all the amazing music
Best Aussie band in history. But so sad a story. Appreciate them more and more as time goes on. I was too young to appreciate them fully. See the movie they made about them " Friday on My Mind" I think it was called, it will tell you so much and is a good movie to boot.
This is about the catchiest song imaginable. Can't believe I never heard it growing up in the US. It could have been a huge hit over here. I watch this video all the time now--I can't get enough of it. To me it's the perfect pop song. Love the chug-a chug-a-chug of the guitars!
.....there was just so much good music happening at that time that it just wasn't possible it seems to fit it all on the radio shows, some great performers were left out of the global picture . Bee gees landed in Britain from Australia five months before the Easybeats and hit the big time. Maybe it came down to the timing. It's been said the Brits were getting to like the Seekers and Peter Paul n Mary style music as 1967 moved along and bee gees seemed as an in between style to them and rock n roll .
High praise indeed Bobby! Growing up in Australia, I was too young to hear it when it came out in the 60s, don't remember hearing it on the radio or on record in the 70s, and only heard it (and saw this clip) on a TV music show in the 80s. My mum won a video recorder in a school raffle and this was one of the first things we recorded on our single video cassette!
@@maddyg3208 And I just heard it the first time after turning sixty. Where were this song and video all my life? Love the guitars, the go-go dancers, the lyrics, and of course, Stevie! His manic energy is unbeatable!
Could have. Done With Out Them. Took up the time that you can see the band performing. More of stevie wright dancing. Put the dancers in the background .❤❤❤❤
I just listened to this because I was feeling a bit low...and wow!...there's nothing else in the sixties that is so close to it's ecstatic delivery...Stevie was the best live performer in ever seen
Have to agree with you totally. Should have gone on to be one of the world's best bandsmbut bad management let them down terribly. Stevie Wright possibly the best frontman in the world. Thanks for your astute musical appreciation.
I was 7 years old...and loved this band so much, Every song was so fast and exciting! Cue the late 70s and punk - and I kept hearing the cues the Easybeats had laid. They reformed and performed concerts in 1986, and managed to preserve the verve and loud, good cheer of tracks such as this. I was there, and will go to the grave cherishing the excitement and joy of seeing these guys really cut loose and effortlessly recapture the joy and volume of the 60s.
I totally get that. I was a kid here in Kiwiland in the 60's and my wild,fun lovin Auntie introducied me to the Easybeats, and gave me the 45 single,stoked ever since. .
I heard today that this song came out in '66! Initially I thought, "this song is pretty ballsy for 1966"...but then I thought, "Well, they were Australian..."
@Tarquin Quinnum Like me those boys in the Easybeats were migrants. Like me...we were in migrant hostels. Like me ...Harry Vander was born in the Netherlands.. The Youngs were Scottish... However, they formed the band in Australia. They are an Australian band playing Aussie music...
Hi everyone. 😀 The guitar player from The Easybeats, George Young was the older brother of Malcolm and Angus Young from AC-DC. George and the lead guitarist Harry became music producers and song writers. The bass player, Dick Diamond came from a religious family, and I am sure that they were the inspiration for "Highway to Hell". George and Harry saw how talented George's two younger brothers were and they decided to build a band with them. George and Harry produced for many others including John Paul Young, The Ted Mulry Gang and Stevie Wright (the Easybeats lead singer). The "Guitar George" and "Harry" who are mentioned in the Dire Straits hit song "Sultans of Swing" are George Young and Harry Vanda. th-cam.com/video/8_7qkRwcMFc/w-d-xo.html
WEll taught Malcolm and Angus real well. Learn something new everyday. ST. LOUIS sounds like one of the Early AC/DC hits, the one that had the Bag Pipes on it.
@thesnesman5235 Cool man. 😎 But the concept of Rock being the path to hell was conceived by some religious people. In the 1950s Billy Graham and the like. By the 1960s people were being clearly divided. In the dramatization of the story of the Easybeats (Friday on my mind), Dick Diamond's parents sent a Dutch guy to London to try and get the bass player away from "his life of sin". The Dutch guy told him that he was on the road to hell and George Young was there and hear it. It was pretty funny how over the top the dude was, even to a religious person. I think the lyrics in the verses are about touring, but the chorus and title are about anti-rock n' roll preaching. What about the video? ... oh no .. my mistake. I was thinking of the "Let there Be Rock" video. 😀 Here is a link to the video anyway. th-cam.com/video/tSNxFGW09Mo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zEYPSXk9VeDHdKUf I ❤ Bon Scott 🤟
George and Harry had many hits as song writers and music producers. Such as AC-DC and Easybeats lead singer, Stevie Wrights solo hit, 'Evie parts 1,2 & 3'. th-cam.com/video/lPveBD6WWXc/w-d-xo.html They made it in 3 parts so that radio would play it.
@@julesnagbunga1204 In the US they were, unfortunately, one hit wonders. Just like another large overseas rock act, Status Quo -- one hit is all they were (and are) known for here in the US, sadly enough. Yet the influence is obvious, and of course after AC/DC hit it big here, a lot of people began to look into the Easybeats stuff. And INXS/Jimmy Barnes cover of "Good Times" did get FM rock airplay here. You're correct, though, they had a ton of hits in Australia.
@TruBluHeeler I thought the early Masters were great but The Easybeats were far more original, in terms of songwriting. The Masters first album had 5 covers, whereas every song The Easys released before they left Australia was an original. They released 5 covers right at the end
@TruBluHeeler I think they were good albums, especially "Choice Cuts". If they had stayed in England and been able to promote it-who knows? As for Doug, I was( and still am) a big Missing Links fan-I call them the world's first punk band. I kept waiting for Doug to play like he did in the Links but he never did.
@TruBluHeeler It seems you have great taste. I have a blog "From The Archives" found at originalclassicrock.com If you could find time to listen I would value your opinion.
For My Woman, She's So Fine, Wedding Ring, Easy As Can Be, I'll Make You Happy, In My Book, Come And See Her, Women, Sorry, Funny Feelin', Friday On My Mind, Pretty Girl, Gonna Make My Bed Gonna Lie In It, Good Times, St.Louis. Just a small selection of their songs. First three albums all orginal songs, amazing for a mid 60's band.
Sorry and She's So Fine were both very popular here in NZ, She's So Fine might've come first, 1965 maybe Both songs were frequently covered by local groups for the Saturday night dances. When you watch the video you can see a Phil May/Pretty Things influence there.
sad that we are getting old and times running out, losing great bands /people, the great music that was playing flat out in the cars,the young and free days,and we had nice cops that would look the other way
.......at 0:52 the guitar drone reminds me of the bagpipes in "long way to the top" by AC DC performed in Melbourne on the flatbed truck . Muted guitar is also a good effect here .
Guitar George" e "Harry" são George Young e Harry Vander, guitarristas da banda The Easybeats, CITADOS POR MARK NOPFLER em seu clássico "Sultam of Swing"
@@florianheilmann3621. Maybe Vanda & George got matching Gretsches at the time. or else George used it. In the other video, the Gretsch George is using is exactly the same as what Malcolm later had (and not a common guitar). In that video, since Vanda is using something different and George is using the Gretsch, I'd assume it IS the guitar.
Guitars get passed around so much between band mates, other musicians, friends, and family members (not to mention music stores and pawn shops), that any of these things could easily be true.
I’m embarrassed to say that I didn’t know that the 3 O’Clock (a kind of obscure Paisley Underground band from LA in the early 80s) covered this-I though they wrote it. I definitely like this version better-a lot rawer. But the 3 O’Clock’s version is worth a listen.
The Easybeats were a huge band in Australia in the mid to late 60’s. They went to London in 1966 and immediately found success with “Friday on my Mind.” Other popular international songs were “ Good Times” and “Show me the way to St Louis.” When they broke up in 1969, the 5 members received the grand payment of $35, each, their management having apparently spent the majority of their royalties and other income, on themselves.
Tall, blonde Ed Begley Jr., dearly "departed" drummer Stumpy from This Is Spinal Tap, appearing here on guitar? What alternate musical universe did you get this from? I want to go there.
This sounds like a "Spinal Tap" parody of Invasion music. That film has spoiled me (and I bet others) in so many hilarious ways. I love this band. We only got the brilliant "Friday on My Mind" in the States, but they were more than that. They blew away a lot of more famous bands. They cuda bin a contenda. Oh, well.

Incredible inspirational musicians. The music is just as good now as it was back then. Never to be forgotten.
Back in the day, Elizabeth in South Australia produced many great bands.,
They were Aussie immigrants from UK and Holland. I grew up with them in Aus. They were our Beatles. Fantastic band.
aussies are from everywhere,thats our strength
The certainly were a good band. Their background was noted back in the day, just wasn't pushed like such things are now. No such word as multiculturalism then. We had one band, HUSH with an asian playing in it sometime in the 70s.

Musically they were closer to the Stones or Who but yes I get your point

History is giving them the recognition they deserved at the time creatively they were up there with the very best of the sixties.
One of the most underrated band unless your an Aussie. The Easybeats had a sound that was world class. David Bowie did a cover of one of their songs for his album. Idk why they never got as much recognition outside of Oz than they did. I surely appreciated they're music 🎶 ❤.

Probably the greatest Aussie group ever
Have to agree with you totally. Should have gone on to be one of the world's best bandsmbut bad management let them down terribly. Stevie Wright possibly the best frontman in the world. Thanks for your astute musical appreciation.
I'm from somewhere else, but wouldn't Cold Chisel be the best Aussie group ever?
This is their song that should have been a hit.
Should've been a big hit.
Was a number one single in Australia and top-five in New Zealand
as far as I know it was a huge hit, in Australia and even in Britain but not sure where it rated in Top 40 in Britain. One of their best songs.
Saw them at the Octagon, Elizabeth. This era of emergent Aussie rock spawned so many bands.
One of my favorites!
Classic Easybeats
Sixties pop master piece. Makes me wanna build a time machine. (I was born too late).

Very good!! Thanks for posting. 👍👍
These guys are the Aussie Beatles
More like the Aussie Who!
Their first three albums were all original songs. Hardly any groups ever did that in the 1960's.
They rocked harder than the Beatles but were big like the Beatles in Australia. More like the Yardbirds or The Who.
George Young. The first guitarist to use staccato chord technique.
There’s even the very faintest hint of AC/DC type chords from George’s guitar style.
Never heard of these Blokes...pretty damn good.
Not sure if you can view the doco Blood and Thunder - it explains a lot
What are you American?....

Thank you! I didn't know it was George who was the guitarist of the Easybeats. I thought it was Malcom.
Thanks fof the news update!
George was every bit as good a rhythm guitar player as his younger brother Malcolm. And Malcolm is considered to be the best there has ever been.
One of my favourite bands back then, I'm kiwi and i absolutely loved them. Gee haven't heard them for years.
We need this video remastered...
Sorry and She's So Fine were both very popular here in NZ, She's So Fine might've come first, 1965 maybe Both songs were frequently covered by local groups for the Saturday night dances. When you watch the video you can see a Phil May/Pretty Things influence there.
The Three O'Clock recorded a fantastic cover of Sorry in the early 80's. It's on youtube and worth checking out.

This sounds like a "Spinal Tap" parody of Invasion music. That film has spoiled me (and I bet others) in so many hilarious ways.
I love this band. We only got the brilliant "Friday on My Mind" in the States, but they were more than that. They blew away a lot of more famous bands. They cuda bin a contenda. Oh, well.
