It's really great to see these vintage videos surfacing and posted here. Stevie Wright was as good as any rock star of that day, and better then today.
This is bloody brilliant, Stevie Wright, George Young and Rory Donohue performing together with the band, what a great force of talent, totally enjoyed this live performance!!!
Yes stevie wright was a great performer and over looked as far as his talent.. he could have went on to be a great performer around the world if things had been different.if he could have kicked the drugs and alcohol problem that he had. To bad they did not help him at rehab center. I can only imagine how he felt going through what they put him through..by him self. Having to jump out the window to get away.how.scared he had to be.
I love the song . But the clothes he was wearing and the shoes, not so much. He looked alot cuter with short hair and no beard and moustache. But he was a great performer. Rest In Peace Stevie. You Rocked the show.
There was only one outfit that was given to him that was worse. That was the orange one he had on and the boots and the hair cut. But he was able to pull that off to. He Rocks all of his shows. No matter what he's wearing.
He should never have been in the show Jesus Christ superstar ... He was to good at writing music. He should have just kept singing on stage with his band's. That show was the reason for his drug addiction, and all of his other health problems. If he had stayed away from that musical he would not have have been in the Chelmsford private hospital where he went through the hell he did. You don't fry someone's brain with electronic shock treatment's or give them more drugs to get hooked on. That is why you go to rehab in the first place. You take their drugs away . And talk to them about the reason for why think that they need it. I know because my Sister was on drugs and alcohol so bad that she almost shot drain cleaner in to herself to get a high. Can you imagine what would have happened. Stevie needed help. But never got any. I can not listen to his songs knowing that. It makes me want to cry.
What the F has happened to our society!....Stevie Wright was as big as they come, and yet still unknown by the majority of the Aussie population.. Our society has been bought and sold buy Fake Music just like Fake News!.. But then again the Real Rock Bloods still love and Respect you ..R.I.P and thank you for Rocking and Rolling our Souls!
Couldn't agree more, they were massive back in the day, and now they aren't appreciated by society these days. This is as good as it gets live for any rock singer, to see Stevie and George here is a treasure.
I rate Stevie Wright as the best front man of any band! 9I'm talking about the Easybeats (best Aussie Band of all time?0 Followed closely by Steve Marriot of the small Faces; third place goes to yep, even though I'm a big Stones fan: Mick jagger.
I mean…they don’t know much of anything, music or otherwise. Try finding someone who knows who Malcolm Douglas is. Or what you’re referring to if you say “when Australia won the America’s Cup”. Or who knows that Dick Smith was the first person to circumnavigate the globe solo, by helicopter. (Among many other world records.) Or can walk around with awareness of the surroundings. Or hold & use a knife & fork correctly.

Even greater memories for me! That’s a younger, skinnier me on the bass! Those were the days. Glad you all liked the music. Stein Boddington
Nice playing..I love your bass work.

Mr George Young never one for the limelight but a premier guitarist any where in the world
Thank you, DJL. So good to reminded of the great talent we had access to back in the old, isolated days.

That's Rory O'Donoghue (Thin Arthur) playing the dark guitar, and wearing striped trousers.
Who is playing the telecaster?
George Young. Stevie Wrights bandmate from The Easybeats. Song writer and Record producer, and older brother to Malcolm and Angus Young......
