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 .
This is a must see by any of today's bands. Learn to play an instrument, write and perform great songs with energy and passion and best of all have some real on stage presence / Stevie had all this in spades!!!
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 !!
@@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.

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
I had honestly forgotten how many absolute classic songs, Stevie was the voice of. Wherever you are Stevie, hope you are headlining the house band, and tearing it up!!!!
You know when you think about it Stevie must have had the heart of a lion. Heroin addict since 1972, deep sleep therapy in '76, rehab in '79, constant alcohol abuse and God knows what else. He'd had the disappointment of the Easybeats comeback the year before. It wasn't what he'd hoped, and even by now at 40 years of age probably feeling the effects of health decline. Yet here he is, with the sweat pissing off him, giving a performance any live act in the world would be proud of. I've seen the best Gillen, Osbourne, Plant...none of them had this sort of energy. Saw Jagger at Randwick Racecourse in '75 BOOORING. He eventually developed diabetes and Korsakoff's Syndrome and still made it all the way to 68, even George only got to 70. I could write a book. RIP you legend.
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
Australia's great rock singer, Little Stevie. What a magnificent band & performance. Thanks to whoever did the filming. Legendary stuff. Bless you Stevie.
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. 😢😢😢❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
I can't believe the acrobatics i just saw by our Stevie. Slowed and zapped with heroin as well as years of giving it all and he pulled off something like that. An Icon.

You can feel the energy in Stevie busting out of his soul in “ I been loving you too long”. An ultimate performer with a mind for what we want to hear, and a really talented person given to us to seeeeeeee.
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❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wow, 35 years on and it still sounds great!! Forever missed Stevie. 🌹 Oddly enough, i'll be heading back to the Bridgeway Hotel in October, to see Tim )))))Ripper(((( Owens for the Judas Priest Show. 🤘
i have the the official DVD of this concert, absolutely brillant performance, by the best Australian muso' available at the time. Three members of the band come from Perth WA, the lead guitarist, Dennis James (the angry young Man) far right, lives in the US now days and is still playing, when he has off time off from fishing , his number one love :-) Personally i regard Denni as a world class lead Guitarist, he has forgotten what some of the so called best are just starting to learn, you name it he can play it.
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.
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.
Brilliant concert.....killer version of I been loving you too long with Lyndsay Hammond , my fave song from this woul derful night. Rock legend.. RIP Stevie.
Hey Pauly lots of people let Stevie down and he let himself down I don't know where the decline started but life can be an unforgiving beast .STEVE tried so hard to please people ,drugs are a curse I always hoped he would beat the curse Rest easy Stevie we loved you mate
Sometimes people don't realise the talent bestowed upon them. Stevie is completely off his head in this performance but still gives it his all. And no offence to the back up singers but he makes them sound like amateurs. Mind you he would have done that to more reputable singers. To the person that commented he should have replaced Bon Scott in AC/DC i have always said that. Brian was really good. Bon and Stevie were great though. Oh well. Brian had the last laugh. RIP Bon and Stevie. And enjoy this performance. i saw the Easybeats in Sydney in the late 80's and Stevie was still good then even though he was off his head. What a wasted talent but boy, what a talent.
This was around the time he teamed up with a band called “Hard Rain” I saw him in Townsville twice, then in 89 I saw Stevie up the cross. Great bloke & one of our national treasures
I was lucky enough to spend an hour talking to stevie in about 1980 at his work in Sydney we watched clips of his time with the beats in England he was my childhood hero I was walking on clouds for a time after thanks mate rock on
Thank God for this recording of our gorgeous, amazingly talented, Stevie, so we can remember him at his very very best. Such a mixed bag of heightened emotions, every time l watch it. So love how every body on that stage is giving their very best to support this icon of the Australian music scene, and helped create this magic moment in history. Absolutely priceless.
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
RIP .Stevie. Even at this Drug fueled stage he could sing like he always did.. Great Aussie legend..great sound and video Great Aussie legend..great sound and video
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 :-)
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😉
He is high voltage.Stage performances alway full on.It's contagious! Why such talent would want to piss one's life off on heroin I'll never know. R.I.P buddy. Kool Stevie One of our best....AU
Thank you so much for this upload of the great Stevie Wright & his wonderful band! I wish there were other videos of whole concerts by him. Like many other people I have loved Stevie since the very beginning of the Easybeats, a fantastic singer and performer, one of the best in the world! Rest in paradise ♡
Stevie wright looks good and healthy.😂😂❤❤ He also looks like he's having a good time😂🎉🎉🎉❤ I'm glad because he had so little of it in his life😢😢😢. With his health problems and every thing else he had going on in his life.🎉🎉🎉 This is a great concert, I wish I could have been able to have been there. But I live in the USA and couldn't 😢😢😢😢 I would have liked to have met him. ❤❤🎉🎉🎉 He seemed to be a very nice man❤❤❤
@@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
Ivan Romanovic - here is a present for you, my playlist called EASYBEATS - '60s Aussie Band :- ua-cam.com/play/PLo0tzmnlxcWk3aQ8DANXuLbKiE9xR89G6.html 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.
I saw Stevie Wright at his comeback show at Bexley pub. Always been a good act. Wondering who the chicks were who backed him on this show. Would one have been Jimmy Barnes daughter, and the other been one of Cheetah ?? Pity 'bout that drug being allowed to proliferate in Australia.
Ottis Redding's 'Ive Been Loving You Too Long' - give me words to describe it please - l'm speechless. Oh Stevie - to have had more of you - F--- DRUGS.
Nyilas jegyü,tüzes,lelkes,jó lelkü,szenvedélyes,szerethető energia bomba!👍👍👍Csodálatos!🙏 Sajnálom Útja végén a szenvedést!!😪A szeretö háttér hiányát szenvedte!😥Szeretünk,Stevie!❤Találkozunk!😇⚘
ETERNALLY grateful to whoever made the decision to film this gig .

Aussie Legend
Amazing Stevie xxx
When on stage is where you make a difference and music is your saving grace & saviour...
How could you give this a thumbs down ?
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.

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😉
Long Live Aussie Rock!
Seen some great gigs at Bridgeway hotel in my time
Rock on
One of our greatest
Gold , pure gold xx
Saw this tour at Selinas in Coogee....fab !!
he was killer no one can replace him. he invented the true front man.
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!!!!!!
Stevie " LEGENDARY " R.I.P. BROTHER! 🙏
Absolutely love this song … YOU 🌹🌹😔🙏🎶
Wow !! I always loved this talented total *Spunk* . 💋
He is high voltage.Stage performances alway full on.It's contagious!
Why such talent would want to piss one's life off on heroin I'll never know. R.I.P buddy.
Kool Stevie One of our best....AU
Thank you so much for this upload of the great Stevie Wright & his wonderful band! I wish there were other videos of whole concerts by him.

This is EPIC! STEVIE THANK U SO MUCH 🙏
Stevie wright looks good and healthy.😂😂❤❤
He also looks like he's having a good time😂🎉🎉🎉❤
I'm glad because he had so little of it in his life😢😢😢. With his health problems and every thing else he had going on in his life.🎉🎉🎉 This is a great concert, I wish I could have been able to have been there. But I live in the USA and couldn't 😢😢😢😢 I would have liked to have met him. ❤❤🎉🎉🎉 He seemed to be a very nice man❤❤❤
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
I remember being at the Bridgeway that night , amazing !! Stevie was pretty ragged by the end though
Woulda been a great show bruh, ''ragged by the end'' i can see how that would be.....
Wow I was a bit too young to get in but wish I was there. What a great talent Stevie was
Oops I was old enough 19 to be precise. How did this show escape me 🤘
He looked all wright in 87'
This geezer had it all and could have been up there with the most famous singers of his generation, as it made most of them eat the dust....
Somebody make a playlist with time.. please :(
He was so good ..
You have just nominated yourself for the job!
Ivan Romanovic - here is a present for you, my playlist called EASYBEATS - '60s Aussie Band :- ua-cam.com/play/PLo0tzmnlxcWk3aQ8DANXuLbKiE9xR89G6.html 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.
GOLD. Legend. Thank you for posting!!
always seemed to love to perform seen him around mid 80s and he was done wish him peace and nothing but respect
I saw Stevie Wright at his comeback show at Bexley pub. Always been a good act. Wondering who the chicks were who backed him on this show. Would one have been Jimmy Barnes daughter, and the other been one of Cheetah ?? Pity 'bout that drug being allowed to proliferate in Australia.
Lindsay from Cheetah and Dey Chalmers, the drummers wife! Not Barnes daughter...
Ki tud a fiárol!?...🤔Szomorú volt miatta is!😪 Gondolom, hiányzott Neki!🤗Ahogy a szeretet is!🙏😇❤
Never heard of em... and then as soon as the music started playing I was like, wow....that's why I never heard of em....
Try the Kool Aid Jim , your people made it just for you !
What a man 🎼🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Best concert on UA-cam. Of All Times.
Ottis Redding's 'Ive Been Loving You Too Long' - give me words to describe it please - l'm speechless. Oh Stevie - to have had more of you - F--- DRUGS.
I would say that what happened to him at Chelmsford far outweighed the damage any recreation drugs he might have taken could have
@@glenchapman3899 Maybe! But really ‘6 of one, half a dozen of the other’ If he hadn’t got addicted he wouldn’t needed to try that horrible place.
Great reminder of all his shows I went to, may be referred to as wrong side of fifty but got to see all the greats like Little Stevie Write RIP..
HE WAS THE BEST FRONT MAN , IN THE WORLD /THERE WAS NO ONE BETTER
What a Great Band
