Screams explode as Stevie Wright wiggles and shakes his hips onstage. This very rare footage captures the frenetic and joyous energy of a 1966 live show, where the Easybeats performed a cover of Australian pop singer Johnny Young's 'Cara-Lyn' to a crowd of fans.

The camera captures the youthful spirit of the '60s, from a stage chaotically decorated with streamers to shots of the heaving crowd. In an era when the Rolling Stones and the Beatles ruled the charts, the Easybeats inspired a similar fervour in Australia with their rock hits – helped in part by lead vocalist Stevie Wright's energetic stage presence, which is on full display here. Always dancing or on the move, the clip sees Wright leaping over his bandmates in the middle of the performance.

After meeting at the Villawood Migrant Hostel in Sydney in 1964, the five founding members of Easybeats rose to fame in the next two years with their hit songs 'She's So Fine' and 'Friday on My Mind'. Rolling Stone journalist David Fricke has referred to the latter as 'the first international victory for Oz rock’.
