It is a bit shocking to see him now - the difference from the 2002 clip is striking. Can't believe he's only 65.

It's a bit more of time investment than listening to one song. I downloaded yesterday, but didn't have the time to watch until today. <br /><br />I agree that the Easybeats really deserve the accolades and respect, that so many other bands of the era, so richly got. I just got through watching this. For the duration, I was completely riveted to the screen for beginning to end. Bizarre tales are nothing new in the music industry, but this one takes the cake.<br /><br />Thanks for an excellent post. Anyone passing this off is doing themselves a disservice. Trust me. Watch it and you'll really want to thank Steve for posting it. There's gotta be more than (currently counting) two and a half rabid Easybeats fans out there. They were so damn good!Oxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17508091965277602173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-11438837106386703472013-03-16T10:59:20.185-04:002013-03-16T10:59:20.185-04:00You didn't find the contrast between Stevie at...You didn't find the contrast between Stevie at 16 and now -- when he's essentially Quasimodo -- amazing?<br /><br />You didn't find that heroin clinic amazing? Jeebus, that place was straight out of a Grade Z-Monogram horror movie starring Lugosi and George Zucco.steve simelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247393763004076992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-12449600318572585712013-03-16T09:23:24.686-04:002013-03-16T09:23:24.686-04:00Amazing story Steve?
