Sydney, Australia's The Easybeats playing Sorry on The Coca Cola Special (1966). Rock & Roll in all its frenzied glory! Go-Go,Ya Know Know! Aussie Choreographer/Dancer Ross Coleman is leading the steppers in some boss moves, if there is a name for that dance I need to know it. That's George Young on rhythm guitar, older brother to Malcolm and Angus. Young co-authored most of The Easybeats songs and went on to produce AC/DC's first five records. Witness the birth of Oz Rock!
In the 1970's, Singer Stevie Wright was subjected to Deep Sleep Therapy for the treatment of drug and alchohol addiction. The "therapy", as administered by Dr. Harry Bailey at the Chelmsford Private Hospital, involved the application of electroconvulsive shock therapy applied to patients placed in a state of barbituate or tranquilizer induced unconsciousness. Wright survived, but a 1980's inquiry attributed twenty-six deaths to Bailey's treatment. Stevie Wright, and many more suffered life long after-effects including brain damage.
