Nice! He doesn't go into falsetto on the chorus, and that's relentless sustained singing up high. Sounds older, but man, for 73 (?) that's incredible singing (and great playing, too). Bravo, guys!
Love the Zombies! "She's Not There" is one of the greatest written songs from the fabulous 60's. The play that goes on between major & minor chords in that song was way ahead of it's time.
OMG...that song came out 55 years ago (1964) These guys can still play it close to the orig.? Amazing ! Great job guys. Who new Zombies could have such a great lifespan ;-)
Fantastic band , they were part of the soundtrack of the 60s, including to guys who served in Vietnam. And that fantastic hammond organ, you cant beat it.
Probably one of the 10 greatest songs of the Rock era. First time I heard it I had to stop what I was doing and just listen. It had the same impact as "I Want to Hold Your Hand"... and that's saying something.
god damn it's crazy to see they still have it in them and the gear switch to modern instruments, always a great song from a astoundingly talented band 60's or now
Probably the oldest British band still playing with their main founding members (Rod Argent & Colin Blunstone plus Hugh Grundy). Formed in 1961, a year before the Stones.
I loved 'em too. I was about eight when it came out. My sister adored Frankie Avalon and Bobby Darin. Me? I was for the stuff with a bluesy feel and a strong bass line.
I don't usually notice such things, but they were dressed both cool (and appropriately for a bunch of old guys), and they sound better than they used to in the '60's, especially Colin Blunstone.
I watched an interview and Colin had vocal lessons after the song became a hit. They credit the longevity of his voice to learning proper technique and doing exercises.
I seen them do this approx 8 years ago in Belfast. They were great, but must say this version and understandably so is better so due to the occasion obviously and the support. Always a big fan of Colin Blunstone as well as Rod back in his Argent days. Colin Blunstone has a magnificent unique voice
Imagine if Paul was still living! They would’ve pretty much the only group from the 60s with everyone left! They would be killing it! Still killing it here though.
Rod Argent is one amazingly brilliant keyboardist! I love his contributions on “She’s Not There”, and throughout “Odessey & Oracle”. For example, what he did with Mellotron on “Care of Cell 44” is one of the most moving (to me) songs, and provides a standard of why that instrument is so powerful. Same with “Hung Up on A Dream”. As for his Hammond works, his solos are always - and still - fantastic...!
This band was one of my first loves. It seemed that every time I turned on the radio, I heard the Zombies within five songs. They were are are THAT good. Ms Hoff’s words were heartfelt and spot on.
These guys look and sound great! The song was originally recorded in June 1964, 55 years prior to their induction in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, she is still not there. Maybe she moved to Texas.
I love this so much. It reminds me of driving home from a family party with my folks and 5 older siblings and getting a rare to stop for custard in the 60’s.
Nancy... You are killing me right now..60's ice cream tasted. so much better..I worked at. House of HiFi in Trenton and right across the street was. CARVEL ..Every day after lunch ate a whole Pint. !!! Never got fat back then...Now ???
When you have a thing called talent, it never leaves you. It lasts forever. The original from '64 and this from 2019. I'm 68 and I remember when it first came out. A timeless classic.
It's as though I'm sitting in my 1966 Mustang, Suzie Cream Cheese next to me and we are on our way to the beach....California Beach! Dayuum....these guys still have the voices and the timing! What a treat for an old guy!!! Now if I could only find Suzie CC
We saw them a couple of months ago in South Wales -- absolutely brilliant. Blunstone's voice is amazing. We would go to see them again tomorrow if they were appearing within 200 miles of our home.
I honestly can only feel admired, these guys still rock amazingly with their age, I mean specially the singer and the keyboardist, that speed is actually super high 😮
Wow!! They sound Awsome and that bical is so strong!! Their harmonies are still fantastic and each member is absolutely amazing still. Excellent job guys!! Loved it totally.
John i wish my twin sister and i could have sung the harmonies with these splendid guys ,,We would have blended in rather nicely lol xx long live the 60s lol
I played in a couple of local bands in the late 60's.Top 40's stuff . Their music was so unique . They where one of my top 4 favourite bands back then and still are today.
RRHOF is a joke. They formed in the early 60's and have been eligible for many yrs. So glad Rod and Michael lived to see it. btw Jethro Tull, Robin Trower, ELP and Kansas have been ignored by these corporate dickheads who run RRHOF forever. Prog is totally misrepresented IMO. I can see The Zombies, Def Leppard and even Stevie but Janet Jackson and The Cure????
@@photonotavailable7936 Those bands are no doubt legit. The RRHOF is too political IMO . They have fan voting but I'm not sure how that works or if it even matters....
Aloha,from 14 to 62 yrs. of age,II will always be in awe of you,Mr. Cullin. Am very glad that we actually met at Max’s Kansas City awhile back when you performed an amazing solo gig. Luv u mate💕🌈🌻🎹🎤🥁🌎☮️🎵🐾
amazing grace! one of my favorite bands! wonderful melody, vocals, keyboards, life giving!!!! Why now only???? nothing is too late! there's always reason for everything! Not to be recognized requires patience, perseverance and love. God bless you all.
They're performing this 55 years after they originally recorded/performed it. That's astounding.
They'll be performing it 150 years after the end of their lives in a time where they can why not .
Greg this song is bad *** in a very good way
LOVE THIS ♥️ !!!!
Totally impressive 👏
They must be almost pushing 80!
No other band sounds like The Zombies. Their sound is unique.
Well is that's just the truth :) best band ever
Still the same high notes..
I'm so happy they're all still with us besides Paul rest in peace Paul atkinson
They definitely sound different than other bands of that Era !!! They are a little jazzy and a little soft !! 👍💜☮️
@@nessjustness2691 not the best band ever but def one of the greatest and highly underrated
Nice! He doesn't go into falsetto on the chorus, and that's relentless sustained singing up high. Sounds older, but man, for 73 (?) that's incredible singing (and great playing, too). Bravo, guys!
Thinking the same thing
Same key!
good catch, I thought the same, but sometimes it's challenging sing falsetto live as it can be very quiet.
@@katemae61 Yes, most are singing a full tone down 50yrs later.
It's actually disgusting how long it took for the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame to induct The Zombies.
Yes, but they got there!
I agree !
Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame is pathetic. How many Rappers made it in before these guys?
Yes, and now it is The Guess Who's long overdue turn.
@@garysabo2181 yep
One of the great bands of the British Invasion of the 1960's.
Please. There isn't a lot of substance.
@@jnagarya519 It wasn't about substance, what is?, it was about fun.
@@jnagarya519 Substance in pop culture? Are you on drugs??

Colin still belting out solid vocals. A truly great band.
One of the best in my opinion
And still in it's original key.
His voice has aged but he still has incredible range, it's a wonder to listen to!
first time a singer got better with age. the notes he reaches are incredible.
What the hell were you listening to?
@@anthonybucci2775. Get your hearing checked. These guys rocked that song. It’s never sounded better.
OMG...that song came out 55 years ago (1964) These guys can still play it close to the orig.? Amazing ! Great job guys. Who new Zombies could have such a great lifespan ;-)
Lol
Wow, I was four years old.
@@karenbannister2300 There was a critic who called them the greatest rock band of their era not fronted by Mick Jagger. Absolutely!
Rod Argent , what a grate keybord player !!!!
Rod argent man. Amazing at keys
Yes he is!! I would love to hear him play jazz- I know he would sound great, and KILL IT☺
Achan... His solo on. Time of the Season is Real Kick Ass ..! on this Hall of Fame show.
One of my favorite voices of all time! Nobody else sounds like Colin. He’s a really nice guy, too. I’ve had the pleasure of working with him.
Fantastic band , they were part of the soundtrack of the 60s, including to guys who served in Vietnam. And that fantastic hammond organ, you cant beat it.
The Doors before the Doors. Inspirational sounds especially synthesizers.
100% agree. It's like, "What if the Doors storytelling came from a more psychologically well-adjusted place."
They aren't using synthesizers, the first synthesizer was being built at Columbia by moog. He is playing a Hammond organ.
🎶💙Zombies & The Young Rascals were my groups as a teen.💙🎶
Probably one of the 10 greatest songs of the Rock era. First time I heard it I had to stop what I was doing and just listen. It had the same impact as "I Want to Hold Your Hand"... and that's saying something.
yeah me too . I was just a kid but my older sisters were teenagers and listening to rock around the house.
To put it in perspective it came out the same year as I Want to Hold Your Hand and She Loves You.
@@bigmonmagoomba9634It actually came out 2 years later
I like the way they work "Gimme Some Lovin'" in there. Zombies rock!
@Alex Elliott ..and effortlessly which some audience members surely missed.........LOL...
of course that normal people did not notice that was a Winwood best riff he did !!
Love that soft voice....still has it after all those years. Great song; always loved it. A very underrated band. Bless them.
How do they all still look charming and handsome to this day and still sound fucking amazing god damn
Hugh has a sly sense of humor too
god damn it's crazy to see they still have it in them and the gear switch to modern instruments, always a great song from a astoundingly talented band 60's or now
These guys are still amazing! Giants of British music that deserved much more recognition.
Probably the oldest British band still playing with their main founding members (Rod Argent & Colin Blunstone plus Hugh Grundy). Formed in 1961, a year before the Stones.
Masters of writing, composition, storytelling, and performance!
One of the best bands of all time
Oh, gosh, I just adored them!!! I was 11. They still give me goosebumps!❤
I was 5 when I first heard them💕
@@nancymesek ...You were young and impressionable. And HAPPY.
I loved 'em too. I was about eight when it came out. My sister adored Frankie Avalon and Bobby Darin. Me? I was for the stuff with a bluesy feel and a strong bass line.

@@WayneKitching Definitely heard some more classical vocal technique during the chorus. As a classically trained Dramatic Tenor, I approve.
Better than the original. More intense. More passion. That's what comes with age.
I wonder how many people know that Rod Argent had a band in the early 70's called "Argent", which had a well known hit called "Hold your head up".
Loved that song, too.
🙋♀️
I don't know the exact number but I think a lot of people knew that!
Great album. I had it.
Bet you didn't know Chris white was in argent as well

Judith Durham and The Seekers have that category covered!
@@bookman1949 How about the Rolling Stones?
@@danielgrossman4370 That's true, minus Brian Jones, but they have been going strong without him since the 60s
@@danielgrossman4370 Bill Wyman?
@@suncookrocks Bill Wyman's still alive, I think he's 83 or 84 though

In 1965 it was 20 years ahead of anything else!
For 77, Chris White hasn't lost his touch either

Unfairly overlooked for so long, a real quality band, great to see them play live at this event, Long Live The Zombies.
This band was one of my first loves. It seemed that every time I turned on the radio, I heard the Zombies within five songs. They were are are THAT good. Ms Hoff’s words were heartfelt and spot on.
universal principle: Rock and roll keeps people young.
Never, never will I forget my London of the sixties!
WOW THER VOICES ARE THERE AND THEIR MUSIC TOO, I AM HISPANIC BUT I LOVE THIS MUSIC- THE ZOMBIES
Excellent performance, and one of the best Western pop songs of 1964.
These guys look and sound great! The song was originally recorded in June 1964, 55 years prior to their induction in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, she is still not there. Maybe she moved to Texas.
Or to Brooklyn...where they are playjng this for. RRHOF....Not in Cleveland .
@@michaelcelani8325 🤣
More likely at the time was that she left England for the south of France.
She's not here either. I looked.
I love this so much.
It reminds me of driving home from a family party with my folks and 5 older siblings and getting a rare to stop for custard in the 60’s.

Wowowowow! I guess that is still Rod Argent on keys!
Great song. Excellent performance, they still can do it.
One word - QUALITY!
Still remember the words to their great songs!! Glad they Finally got the recognition they so deserve!!❤
One of the great bands
They still have it.
When you have a thing called talent, it never leaves you. It lasts forever. The original from '64 and this from 2019. I'm 68 and I remember when it first came out. A timeless classic.
And it will survive for the ages!
Clearly it doesn't.
I still have this single. One of my favorites from the 60's
Love the Zombies! So very glad they are in the Rock Hall, that induction was long overdue.
Unlike many of the inducted acts, they had rehearsed to perfection.
I love this Song.....Had no ideal it was that decade!.... CLASSIC TUNES NEVER GO OUT OF TOUCH!
It's as though I'm sitting in my 1966 Mustang, Suzie Cream Cheese next to me and we are on our way to the beach....California Beach! Dayuum....these guys still have the voices and the timing! What a treat for an old guy!!! Now if I could only find Suzie CC
these guys are still utter magic ,,,i have adored them since their beginning ,its so lovely to see them again ,,,Wow genius blokes lol xx
They were so young when they made that record!
We saw them a couple of months ago in South Wales -- absolutely brilliant. Blunstone's voice is amazing. We would go to see them again tomorrow if they were appearing within 200 miles of our home.
They are still as good. What a group of talented, beautiful men.
Wow, just unreal. Such an influential song. Keyboard heavy, soundtrack of the 60s.
Absolute Perfect - So Great..!! ❤🙏👏👍
I saw them sing this outside of RRHOF and they were just as good outside as they were inside!
Just an amazing song. The Zombies with one of the best sounds of any decade.
One of the most underated bands ever.
My high school band (class of '66) did a few of their songs. My favorite was "Leave Me Be." I saw them live in 2019!
I honestly can only feel admired, these guys still rock amazingly with their age, I mean specially the singer and the keyboardist, that speed is actually super high 😮
Rock and Roll is what it is because of a few groups and the Zombies is one of them and should have been inducted years prior.
Holy crap! Colin and Rod just killing it! Bravo!
One of the best songs of all time.
Wow!! They sound Awsome and that bical is so strong!! Their harmonies are still fantastic and each member is absolutely amazing still. Excellent job guys!! Loved it totally.
Great song, great voice & one of the great bands of the 60's
A half-century of trying and I still can't sing along with this amazing harmony.
John i wish my twin sister and i could have sung the harmonies with these splendid guys ,,We would have blended in rather nicely lol xx long live the 60s lol
No kidding,😄

THEY KILLED IT
One of the greats and very deserving of the Hall.
A lot of Jazz influence. Beautiful and unique.
Outstanding. Transported me back to early 70’s, am car radio, windows down, no AC, driving to the beach.
History in the making. Wished I was there.
Brilliant, one of the best songs of the 60s.
