Easy Come Easy Go, Baby!

 

 

 

Keen observers of this blog will know that I bring up The Easybeats a half dozen times a year, that I love The Easybeats and that "Heaven & Hell" is one of my favorite records of all time, not to mention "Friday On my Mind," "Good Times," You Said That," "Make My Bed," "St. Louis," and well, about 30 more. That more music loving people aren't as gaga over The Easybeats is something I don't take lightly, which is why I mention them as often as I do. I'm always hoping a few more readers will be moved to comment, "Holy Crap! You were right!" Alas, that has not happened.

So imagine my surprise on receiving an email from hpunch with a link to a 30 minute documentary on The Easybeats titled "Easy Come Easy Go." I had no idea this film existed. Will this change your mind about the band? Will you come out on the other side a full blown Easybeats fanatic? Will this 30 minute gem of a video make you realize the genius of George Young? Probably not. But I think you should watch it anyway.

The Easybeats could have been contenders if they had toured America during the ballroom and college gym era of the late 1960's! Heck I don't know if they ever toured the USA during the Dick Clark packaged tour era previously.

How can someone who likes rock and roll not like The Easybeats?
