Information copy-pasted from Wikipedia, with very small editing by me.
Please note there is a very, very small amount of information on this band. No live performances that have been captured, that I know of, no audio recordings, nothing. I can't even find their album in stores.

From 1972, the original Geordie line-up included: Vic Malcolm (born Albert Victor Malcolm, 3 December 1946, Newcastle upon Tyne) (lead guitar, vocals), Tom Hill (bass guitar), Brian Gibson (drums) (born 6 March 1951, Newcastle upon Tyne) and Brian Johnson (vocals).
Their first debut single, "Don't Do That" smashed into the UK Top 40 in December, of the year 1972. In March, of the year 1973, Geordie released their debut album, Hope You Like It on EMI's Regal Zonophone label. Trying to compete with such British glam rock outfits as Slade and Sweet, they had one UK Top 10 hit, entitled "All Because Of You" put out in April 1973 and one UK Top 20 hit, "Can You Do It", released July 1973 and several appearances on BBC Television including Top of the Pops in November 1972. But their second album, Don't Be Fooled By The Name, released in 1974, including a cover of The Animals' "House Of The Rising Sun" failed to yield a hit. After their 1976 album Save The World, frontman Johnson left for a solo project. The band's final album, No Good Woman, in 1978 consisted of three unreleased tracks with Johnson and new material recorded by Malcolm with future Dire Straits keyboardist Alan Clark, vocalist Dave Ditchburn, bassist Frank Gibbon, and drummer George Defty. Johnson had meanwhile begun to perform as Geordie in a new line-up in which he was the only original member. The band signed a recording contract in 1980, but finally folded that spring when Johnson became a member of AC/DC to replace the late Bon Scott.
Fun fact: Johnson was one of Bon's favorite singers. That was why he was chosen for AC/DC

In 2001 they did one, or a few (I'm not sure how many) shows with the band back together. These are some of the only live performances of Geordie captured.
