its well done

Jackelbrash That would be the band bc the first recording was too damn dark at another random gig. This one is much better- that being bc I'm the lighting operator here and for the band for nearly 2 years.could've used more actually but the budget was slim. Still too dark for me to be happy but at 19 I didn't have much say in how production money was spent. Oh well I'm so happy this exists- it's the only video you'll find with this lineup. Drummer Paul DeMarco from Rose Tattoo here as well as Lyndsay Hammond from Cheetah (blonde), Dennis James on lead guitar as well as musical royalty that I didn't realise at the time. Love seeing this🎸💜

@@normturner4849 Yep, know all those players. Paul was once commonly known as Fred. ( Fred Zepplin ! ) From time with the Scattered Aces . Thanx for the info , well done .

@@normturner4849 Thx for the insight...

Thad be a guy named Phil Keen from Adelaide, thanks to him

NOT evryone has such a talent... If You dont have natural Talent , You will always be an Avarage Musician. If you dont have talent , You can only play what You learned. If You dont have talent it wont come straight from the HEART !!

And take lots of drugs

@@dingahling8064 he had diabetes and didn't know it took the drug's to help him cope with what was going on with in his body. Tried to get clean of them by going to read. They did more harm than good. Felt like he had to jump out of a window of a 2 story building to save himself from the electronic shock treatment's and the drug's they gave him without his permission. It's a miracle that he served at all.. such a sad story. Cried every time I hear it... Look up his life story on you tube.

ABSOLUTEMENT!!!! The Last Aussie Legend!

@@dingahling8064 Never forget this!

I agree with you . great performer and great show. ❤❤ Lost to early. But he is still loved and missed❤❤

Evie, omg, absolutely awesome, I’m in love with this guy, what an amazing talent Stevie Wright was. Whoever Evie was she was obviously loved. RIP Stevie xxx

@@madge216 George , ( the genius ) , wrote it , his new baby girl was called Evie. 💝

100%!!!

Lol! Bon had his own swagger, we all got our own swagger.

bon would stomp yer ass and not even remember what for the next day , you mean that kind of swagger ...?

Also Mick Jagger . And a few other people. But Stevie wright was the first front man and the best one ever❤❤❤❤ Gone to soon. Always will be missed and loved by all of his family and friends. Rest in Peace Stevie. 😢😢😢❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

Don't forget his short stay with Dennis Allen in Richmond, no doubt that wouldn't have been good for his health .

lucky he survived his stay with Dennis Allen, Mr Death houses, many were chopped up@@TowerKing-xygt

There is a biography on Stevie Wright, titled you guessed it Hard Road-The Life and Times of Stevie Wright my wife has it www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/4580552

@@pvtjohntowle4081 Thanks for that. I'll see if I can get a hold of a copy.

thank you @@pvtjohntowle4081

😍

Weird you say that - Paul Weller has that, magnetic, affect. I guess that’s part of his continuing success.

I Love that Song. He was able to give such a great performance of it. ❤❤❤ He had so much talent .😂😂🎉🎉🎉❤❤. If they had helped him through his drug addiction instead of Causing him to suffer from brain Damage he could have gone on to be as good if not better than AC DC or any body else. He was able to sign this song as good as the original song by Otis Redding❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

I remember seeing stevie & his band at the cloverdale hotel in Perth when I was a young fella got photos of Steve n Dennis James

I wouldn't mind this on DVD do you know if it's still around anywhere

Can he play these songs I was mades for loving you - guitar 2 line zombie by three non blondes Delilah by TJ If he can...then he must be pretty good Thanks for yourquestion

Do you know where I can find a copy of this CD in the usa. We have nothing from him or the easybeats. It's sad that our music industry didn't give them the same attention that they gave everyone else. I don't understand why they gave the bee gees more time and consideration when the easybeats was just as good.

Amazon or Ebay There's plenty of these CDs available@@OldiesMomma

ACDC considered Stevie Wright as replacement for Bon Scott after his passing but they chose to respect Bon Scotts final wishes so they went with Brian Johnson.

@@westnblu what do you mean by "his final wishes"?

@@TowerKing-xygt well what i meant by that is Bon Scott specifically told the band members if anything were to happen to him they should go with Brian Johnson. In other words make Brian Johnson the front man.

@@westnblu I doubt it mate,Stevie was Bons idol it was his lifestyle choices that ACDC didn't want to take a risk on,

@@TowerKing-xygt i agree with u . You're spot on. But Stevie was nevertheless considered initially briefly anyway and he did go in for a jam session but the 2nd time he didn't show up . This reinforced their suspicions of his lifestyle as u say and went with Brian Johnson. Stevie may have been Bon's idol but Bon struck up a friendship in Scotland with Brian Johnson whom he saw perform in some cover band and apparently was impressed with his showmanship and vocals. It's around this time Bon made mention of Brian Johnson to the band. The rest as they say is history.

Sometimes someone special happens we know forever is not possible but it was one hell of a ride it was hero worship you are out there somewhere mate

Hi John the Cloverdale certainly rocked

brilliant version, brilliant concert...

It's a shame that a lot of people who don't know what Stevie wright went through especially in the rehabilitation center.they gave him electronic shock treatment and drugs to treat him for drugs.what idiot thought that one up. now people will only remember him for his drugs and alcohol addiction.what a shame.he was a great performer and a great song writer. Who was loved by everyone who was lucky enough to have met him.

@@OldiesMomma People who know of Stevie and the Easybeats don’t remember him because of drugs. We remember him as one of the most exciting frontman in the history of music. His addictions were understood as a tragedy that broke our hearts. But even through all that, plus that horrific hospital, he showed how tough and resilient he was, coming back to perform again and living a lot longer than any of us would have expected.

Hi I did not mean that his fans and the people who were lucky enough to have known him. I am taking about the new people who come across any of these videos and read's what people are saying about him. They should look into his life story. And what happened to him at the Chelmsford private hosp

This is what I did approx 4/6 weeks ago. I needed to know the history behind the music. For some reason back in Uk in the 60s I only knew of “Friday on my mind “and no more! I was browsing this song and amazed to find all this music history. I’m so pleased that I did!

@@lesleybracey7354 Hi I looked up his life story on my you tube channel. I found a documentary about his life story called Stevie wright life and so much to say. By Scott McRae. Scott and a few other people that have known him talked about how he got into drugs. Even Stevie will tell you. But it was when he tried to get help for his drug addiction by checking himself in to the Chelmsford private hospital and what happened to him there is the real story. The doctors there gave him a cocktail of drugs to make him sleep for two weeks. That put him in a coma. he suffed from Brain damage, they also gave him 14 electronic shock treatment's that fried his brain. He was never the same after that. I can not listen to his music or watch him with out crying. It is so sad to watch him now. Knowing what happened to him.

I agree, Black Eye Bruiser is an amazing song. By the way Stevie looks like half John English and half Bon Scott 😀 😄 😉 👍 😳

I saw him in Townsville 2 nights in a row as well. At the speakeasy at the Cri.

@@derektaylor473 yep the Cri was where I saw him too

Sorry cbc cnc, but this is solid gold! Not gold plated.... Like George Young said, Stevie was the best front man in the world!

GiorgiosP13 ha ha true

This performance is on DVD

@@ariesred777 Thanks for letting me know

He.was.lost to

Mick was going years before Stevie even started

Pixel Bandit 😂

A year or so. They probably wouldn't have heard of each other for a few years after..

@@lynettekomidar STEVIE KILLED MICK.

@@lynettekomidar Micks performances improved as time went by .

You have just nominated yourself for the job!

Ivan Romanovic - here is a present for you, my playlist called EASYBEATS - '60s Aussie Band :- kzfaq.info/sun/PLo0tzmnlxcWk3aQ8DANXuLbKiE9xR89G6 Mostly in crohnological order, but YT seem to have cut out the comments section now, sadly, as it is where l documented their history. Stevie was/is the very loved lead singer of the Easybeats - our very first rock band that wrote all their own gear. Tragically he suffered a severe drug addiction throughout his life. Totally heartbreaking, as he had an amazing spirit, that had him loved right till the end 2 yrs ago.

Maybe they gave it a thumbs down because they don't want you to follow in his footprints. Steve might give you the same advice.

lesgl Your one of the rare ppl that spell Dey's name correctly. Both girls sexy as hell! Lyndsay married Glenn 🙈 & formed Word Of Honour, Dey married Paul and he went back to Rose Tattoo. Myself as lighting operator took off with Eddies younger sister (LOL) to live in Perth near the Boekelman family home in Bassendean😉

Denni the legend lives in the US now days still playing, its not a start actually, some sort of copy. I have the very first Strat he ever owned, a 64 L series, i bought of him in the early 70's, brillant sound and i still have it. lol i think he is still spewing about it, i remind him occasionaly :-)

No,not a strat.. looks like an Ibanez blazer

It is! @@flamethroa

@Andrew Young Amen.

Lindsey a top rock chick

Bloody wow they rock "I'll make you happy

Stevie wrote Sorry the poms should have lapped it up

How many guys in rock bands don’t drink and use drugs and women too many big temptations I’ve never been in bands that don’t

Dennis James here..Lead guitar in that band. Stevie was a great and caring guy despite his personal stuff....

@@Swans500 I'm glad to hear that. He seemed like it. On the interviews I have seen he looks happy, At least at peace with the way his life turned out. I love to watch the concert at the Bridge way Hotel. But it also makes me feel sad 😢😢. When he sang the song's I've been loving you to long. It was great 😃. He put in so much feeling into it. Also the song called. You. Was great 👍. You guys did a great job with him.. I never got the opportunity to meet him in person. Or see him perform that makes me very sad

Thank you for your time to answer my questions it's been good to hear from you.

You are welcome! @@OldiesMomma

Try the Kool Aid Jim , your people made it just for you !

Damned straight! Bon Scott and Brian Johnson NEVER had a fukin' think on Little Stevie. They will never be anything but cheap imitations.

Steve, jpy, Bon, andy gibb...if you look close they start to look alike.

So who was Elvis then?

IMITATIONS OF WHAT!!!!!! CHEAP WHAT!!!!!!
