[@pambyrne2391]

Poor old Doc Neeson, wasn't much longer for this world.

[@angusbull1078]

Great that he was there though!

[@moonglow9407]

Magical performance:)

[@theresecowen2124]

great performance

[@stevenym2]

great cover......thanks...don't hear this one enough

[@Garry-h4v]

I felt a bit sorry for poor old doc, he didnt get much of a chance, he deserved a lot better, RIP Doc!

[@Rob-fc9wg]

The old bugger did what he could and did it very well indeed. Vale Bernard Neeson.

[@roycemachado9770]

So much talent in such a small spot

[@noexitrocks8799]

Springsteen has covered this tune. I believe Bowie did too, along with some other people. But this is closest to the way EasyBeats originally did this song, matching the tempo, guitar riffs, vocal phrasing. Well done, Mates!

[@OldiesMomma]

If it isn't BROKE Don't Fix It. 😢😢😢😢. There's nothing wrong with the way that Stevie wright performed the song. Stop putting Females in where they Are Not needed. They Ruin everything. No talent no looks just making noise because they are most likely Dating the people who are producing the show.. If you want to play that song then put Stevie wright on display singing it on a TV monitor. It would have been so much Better.

[@OldiesMomma]

Was Vanda and young so broke and desperately needing the money that they have to Ruin their own music 🎵🎶🎶. What a pityful thing to Watch. Them defacing there own music like this 😢😢😢😢😢.

I wish I was on stage! :-)

[@chrisschulz6911]

Who is the guying singing the first verse?

[@activelycamping]

Steve Kilbey from The Church

[@greggartrell7790]

smashing birds.

[@darlingharbourmassage370]

Gossling...

[@venderstrat]

Doc is happy to do backing, but he could have done the whole thing.

[@88Alimo]

Get him on the mic.

[@terrencemalloy2216]

Great cover

[@finewinerob]

Yep, not to bad.

[@OldiesMomma]

I have to agree with you about the women. The song didn't need them. It is like putting frosting on brownies or peanut butter on rice crispy treats. The song is better the original way, with Stevie wright singing it.

[@lindsaykelly2224]

Let Kilby take the lead

[@darlingharbourmassage370]

can you buy copies of this?

[@franky6762]

+Darling Harbour Massage Unfortunately no, it's not available in full anywhere. Maybe we need to petition SBS to get it out there...

[@SchwarzeWitwe2]

I think it's still on SBS streaming. Most other episodes are.

[@rumplestiltskin1881]

The female spoils it at the 28 second point

[@Greg-r5h]

Yep

[@filejw862]

She is fairly big Down Under

[@steven3581]

Can't match Stevie's energy when he performed this song.

[@janemorrow6672]

Steven, yep all those people on stage and still couldn’t match Stevie Wright.

Stevie was embarrassing with whatever he was trying to do with his awkward dance moves...

good idea i want to learn how to sing the lead singer should sing in tune ?

all those artists should be on government payroll to promote aussie culture it would be my taxes at work

Omg. The singers 😖

[@michaelokeefe4120]

Brilliant version not a cover

[@stevegriggs2230]

Franky m8 do you like you am I

[@ilyk49]

Gosh - nowhere near as good as the original version. None of these guys/girls come close to Stevie Wright.

[@fc7208]

They are not try to be better than Stevie ..... They are doing this as a tribute and you should appreciate good AUS artists

[@ilyk49]

@@smee7683 I didn't say I didn't appreciate their efforts or say that the performance was bad (in fact I think it is very good). I said that it was nowhere as good as the original - which generally tends to be the case.

@@fc7208 it was his dancing that we love the most. so cute. just got better with age. should never done jesus christ superstare. his life took a downward turn. but made it back even better.

[@billhaleyrock2471]

das original ist besser und fetziger.

[@scotexscarrier8461]

the original classic was way beyond its time

[@henryhawk2904]

Hard to fuck this song up. Lots of envelope openers on stage though.

[@shortycomstive]

Que ?

[@ThePsico222]

Shorty Comstive khe?

[@pops5778]

Best version is by Gary Moore even the guy who wrote the song said so.

[@iankearns774]

Yeeeeah, Nah. I love Gary Moore's version but you can never beat the original which was 20 years old when he released his. I loved the song since hearing it as a 2 year old in 1967 and bought the Gary Moore Wild Frontier album after hearing his version but I already had 20 years of the Easybeats version lodged in my brain.So no.

[@philip5940]

Imagine how well this number could be performed if performance was at a venue where the artists could play at sensible non deafening decibels. Typically it's 140 decibels with the rockwiz morons and some even bring children along .

[@hawkinsa90]

Waste of time they didn't have the "feeling of...."

[@forhim370]

STEVIE!!!!! 💔

[@michaelahearne2402]

shithouse

[@janellew5474]

Pity most of them are out of tune....

[@philip5940]

Yes, but it's extremely loud on the stage and so that's what happens when they can't hear themselves singing.

[@henryedwards4116]

BOOOO!

[@tonywright8294]

Crap

[@andrea22213]

I thought this was a difficult song to ruin, these people did it though. Bloody awful!

[@hangarharris]

andrea22213 it's actually a very easy song to ruin. It says a lot about the talent of vanda and young that they did it so well.

[@philip5940]

They're at 120 decibels, so it happens .
