Stevie Wright performed this song in the early 2000s at a concert comprising of number one Australian hits from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and perhaps also 1980s. Stevie was not well. He needed assistance to walk on stage. But, once he started singing, he stole the show. I was in tears. So moving.

The band in this was made up of members from many bands on the Albert label. The second part of the song was about child birth with the last part about the death of his Evie.

OMG ALBERTS! What a studio. I used to record advertising jingles with rock royalty who would casually stick their heads in and ask to join in! A major label force in Oz music, the Easys were part of their early success. How I am still alive after the epic Christmas parties at Alberts and Armstrongs in Melbourne. That first note brought back ( well, whatever bits I can remember) the sad wrecking balls and the stellar successes. My generation is prob a good example of why you shouldn’t hang out with musicians kiddies. So enjoying your banter and deep Brit past. You still rock!😂❣️

Gentlemen. The 3rd part "dissonance" being uptempo is the frenetic feelings of a spouse watching their partner dying young and being unable to do a thing about it. Double down on the sensation after the both of you have just given birth. I would be running head first into hospital walls in desperation. Kinda like disco dancing.

Ronnie Peel (Ex La De Dahs) on rhythm guitar, Tony Mitchell (Sherbert) on bass, Warren Morgen (ex Aztecs, Chain and All Star Band) on keys and the beautiful sisters Lyndsay and Chrissie Hammond (Cheetah) on backing vocals. If you look at the crowd in the wings, you can see the best of the then Aussie music scene watching Stevie give the performance of a lifetime.

A great performance from a guy who’d been through a lot and had a fantastic last hurrah here. Yes, the studio version is also well worth a listen. The second part is definitely a top performance and arrangement; slightly soppy in the lyrics on the odd line or two, but still great. But it’s the combination of the riffs from the intro, the verses, and absolutely the choruses that make the studio version a rock classic. I’d put it up there against your Barracudas and Smoke On The Waters for rock guitar goodness. Crank it up loud and revel: EVIE! Ker-Chang!! EVIE! Ker-Chang!! Evie let your hair hang down! Ba-dah-du-dow-duh!

The tragic story that is Stevie Wright. He had the world (well at least Australia) at his feet, but succumbed to the lure of Heroin. Unfortunately he was a hopeless addict who became homeless living in an old broken down bus whilst doing breaking and entering of local homes to get enough money to shoot some more poison up his arm. I saw an interview with him in that old bus when his teeth were rotting away. After that he also developed some brain functionality issues. It is amazing that he lived as long as he did. Such a shame that because of drugs his talent was largely wasted. Evie is his legacy as a solo artist that we can continue to enjoy. Absolute classic. Vanda and Young wrote so many good songs, but this one is right up there.

Glad you loved Evie pts 1, 2 and 3 😊 It's an absolutely epic track by songwriting maestros Harry Vanda and George Young, who met at migrant hostel near Sydney in the early 60s. George was the oldest brother of Angus and Malcolm from, you guessed it, AC/DC. Harry and George formed the Easybeats (with Stevie Wright out front) and wrote many of their songs. BTW, I've always thought Part 3 was uptempo to reflect the anguish that the character in the song felt as Evie slipped away.

part 1 = young meeting first time, excitement, Part 2 = The settling down for a life together and starting a family, mellow. Part 3 = Anger and despair of losing his woman. hence the cadence of each track

Stevie Wright was actually born in England….many of our famous singers were born overseas 😂🤣

Interestingly enough, the fantastic backing singers were both in the Australian production of "Jesus Christ, Superstar." Well spotted.

Hi Guys. Love your reactions. The reason part 3 is fast and furious is because as he was losing his wife, he could not get his head around it and he was powerless to do anything. This in turn made him crazy/ out of his mind/ spinning out of control. "All I know is I'm losing you" and coming after the last line of part 2 "I'm nothing without you" puts everything into perspective. Both their lives are lost.
