If someone asks me how happy exactly I wanna be, I will show him my man on the maraca's
Should check out the drummer from Covet, man is on a natural high at all times. Never seen him break a smile while playing.
Aladdin Pallante
That man was loving life!
The guy playing the maracas was the 1 and only Salvador Dali 🏁
Do you know who that man is? He's Salvador Dali, one of the greatest artists of all time.

Good tune !!! Honestly play when she's riding you ... If you can get a chick to laugh in bed your in the top %10 that can lol
Who knew Lawrence Welk would feature such hip cowboy music.
I need a 10 hour version
My mother never missed a show. Being young, I hated it. As a musicologist years later I discovered LW had the world's finest musicians playing with him.
Yeah, my grandma always wanted to watch, and being young, I saw that as old fashioned. Later, with age and wisdom, I found it amazing with the dancing. Really loved the one where the woman's wig came off, lol
Wasn't LW gay?
@@richardgardiner6468 HELL no! Where did you come up with that caca? Are you gay? Geez.......
@@richardgardiner6468 No he was not gay. WHY would you even have that thought enter your mind?
Oh... you're gay. Sorry.
Wspaniala muzyka .Wielki kunszt gry na gitarze .

63 yıl önceki bu video tam bir başyapıt. Hepsini saygıyla anıyor, TANRI'dan rahmet diliyorum..

This കലാകാരന്മാർ ഇപ്പോൾ ജീവിച്ചിരിപ്പുണ്ടോ😢
Nah they r all dead😢
after watching this for dozens of times i still can't decide what's better. the actuall music. or my man going ham on the maracas.
Edit: thanks for all the likes you kind people you 😲
See other version(above) with girls and your man on the maracas.
both🤣 but he makes it much better
There’s something much more better in all of this. And this is your comment man😂😂😂
If youre going to do anything in life, do it with the enthusiasm my man plays the maracas with
Man with maracas is the real mvp.not the guitarist one 🤣
Lord just give me a tenth of the maraca man's happines
😂😂😂😂
X2
He loves what he does
I confirm that when I'm "emm depressed"
i listen to "ghost riders in the sky" just to see that happy man
Yeah he really digs his job.
The maraca man is why I rewatched this video 50 times
Me too 😂😂😂
Honestly, me too 😅
Yep
マスカラの男性の動きが楽しそうですね😁
Salvador Dalí is playing the maraca's. Dalí's artistic repertoire included painting, sculpture, film, graphic arts, animation, fashion, and photography
Love how they all have expressions: "guys we did it. This is going to be legendary"
Ayy finally, another person with the name Tomàs
*I'm seeing double-*
They were on national television...The Lawrence Welk Show was "must see" programming back in the day for millions of households.
Yeah, sometimes you just know " you kick ass " and your face can't be modest about it.
So much joy😂😂😂. It has to have been a joyous epoch. Its great slice of film.
Neil was one of the guitarists that motivated me to learn to play guitar.
You still remember this song? If not i remember you, listen to it.
The Myth The Legend Mr Eric!!!!
My understanding is that both Neil and Lawrence Welk's "other" guitarist, Buddy Merrill were very highly regarded musicians.
And as the narrative with this video says, Neil worked with Frank Zappa, more specifically on the Mothers of Invention's first album, "Freak Out," which is, let's just say, pretty far from the music Welk does. Neil later said that Zappa told him how amazed he was that a guy who played with Welk could rock out the way Neil could.

Maraca Man: "Yess!!!!"
I like how everyone is genuinely having a good time whilst making an absolute banger. That's what music is all about :)
Except the piano guys, they look bored 😑
Omg Gandalf!

@@infinitytoes7424 when playing piano u actually have to concentrate.
Yeah that’s why piano is what they teach to little kids...
I've heard so many versions of this song and they're all great. But in my opinion, this is the best version ever. Thank you.
Hands down best version the original
@@sibthegreat5918 @rayma jones and this song influenced The Doors for their Riders in the Storm.
@@sibthegreat5918 sin duda este es el original, o me equivoco?
Spotnicks played it also brilliant.
Facts
The percussionist is tapping out a complex rhythm with his fingertips, and he keeps it going without a break or a flaw.
He might have been a telegraph operator as a young man.
@@coban3373you're right
he took geritol
@@macbird-lt8de Geritol is some American stuff, isn’t it? What does it do?
I think it was geriatric vitamins for old people.
They were all so happy and lively in the commercials.

greetings from Germany
Imagine my surprise to come here and see my great uncle bob playing next to the guy with the maracas, I knew he was on the Lawrence Welk show but its always a surprise to see him on these videos
What instrument was he playing?
@@harrykelly7566 the guiro
Such an honor
That's Salvador Dali.
@@ThaiThom Salvador was on the maracas
Dude, every single person there, even the one playing the smallest instrument is feeling like a god.

Everyone's smiling. Everyone 's happy. I want this tune and video to last so that everyone is happier for longer.
Amen, brother!
I wish there was a full one hour loop of just this instrumental. It's so perfect.
Just right click on the screen and select Loop
a check mark will then appear on the left side beside it.
@scottw550 but people are stupid and would rather watch a 10 hour version with subway surfer on the bottom screen
Neil levang forever and ever since Ipiales Nariño Colombia América Latina 😅
@@LifesMikeIt's just easier to have an 10 hour version because often those are edited so you have an instant transition and you don't notice that it's restarting the song.
@@LifesMikeTf are you even bringing subway surfers up for? that has nothing to do with ten hour versions of music. Also people are stupid for not knowing about the loop feature? you need to smoke some weed or some shit dude.
No vocals but one of the greatest instrumentals ever!.
the way they made everything way more clear really brings this song back to life!
Все музыканты с такими открытыми и приятными лицами.От одного этого уже настроение улучшается. Спасибо!

These artists could never have dreamed of the internet. I hope their children and grandchildren see how many views there are of people who appreciate their incredible talent. I could watch this all day, in 2024
Unfortunately, in todays America there will be screaming sexists (sorry, "feminists") with colorful hair pretending that it's a sin to show white cis men making music to entertain the masses.
0:09 This guy looks so happy. Love that
There is so much technology out there today, no one can create anything similar! AMAZING!!!
The talent home grown. Nothing replaces it ❤
To jest najlepsza wersja tego utworu. Ta gitara jest znakomita. Gitarzysta wydobył wszystkie szczegóły z tego instrumentu. Brawo Neil.
Ja słuchając tej piosenki to mam przed oczami serie RdR
An old cowboy went riding out One dark and windy day Upon a ridge he rested As he went along his way When all at once a mighty herd Of red eyed cows he saw Plowin' through the ragged skies And up the cloudy draw
Their brands were still on fire And their hooves were made of steel Their horns were black and shiny And their hot breath he could feel A bolt of fear went through him As they thundered through the sky For he saw the riders coming hard And he heard their mournful cry
Yippie-yi-o Yippie-yi-yay Ghost riders in the sky
Their faces gaunt Their eyes were blurred Their shirts all soaked with sweat He's riding hard to catch that herd But he ain't caught 'em yet Cause they've got to ride forever On that range up in the sky On horses snorting fire As they ride on, hear their cry As the riders loped on by him He heard one call his name. If you wanna save your soul From hell a-riding on our range. Then, cowboy, change your ways today Or with us you will ride Trying to catch the devil's herd Across these endless skies. Yippie-yi-o

increíble combinación de talentos que con cada uno de sus instrumentos dio como resultado una de las mejores e icónicas canciones del viejo oeste!!

The Brits are looking worried and they’re going to worry more 🇮🇪
POV: You entered Blackwater
Bounty target marked
He played the shit out of those maracas
The moment the chorus hit, goosebumps every cell in my body! Such times, such music and such beauty..

Ghost Riders in the Sky by the Lawrence Welk Orchestra we have Neil Levang on the guitar, Johhny Klein on the castanets, Aladdin Pallante on the maracas, Bob Lido on the guiro, Jerry Burke on the organ, and the inimitable Frank Scott on the piano with backing vocals by the Lennon sisters!
Thank you so much for this line up! I was racking my brain for memory with no results!
My pleasure! Glad I could help
the Geritol sign gave it away . No mistakes allowed in this orchestra 💀
When music wasn’t bubblegum
Talent, unbelievable talent!
As a very young child I was fascinated by watching Neil play, and also Buddy Merrill on the show. He was probably the first performer that inspired me to pick up the guitar. Back in 1961, I can't think of anyone else you could watch play electric guitar on TV. Thanks Neil may you RIP.
Must.have.more.off.this.
Lyrics:
An old cowboy went riding out
One dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested
As he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd
Of red eyed cows he saw
Plowin' through the ragged skies
And up the cloudy draw
Their brands were still on fire
And their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny
And their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him
As they thundered through the sky
For he saw the riders coming hard
And he heard their mournful cry
Yippie-yi-o
Yippie-yi-yay
Ghost riders in the sky
Their faces gaunt
Their eyes were blurred
Their shirts all soaked with sweat
He's riding hard to catch that herd
But he ain't caught 'em yet
'Cause they've got to ride forever
On that range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire
As they ride on, hear their cry
As the riders loped on by him
He heard one call his name
'If you wanna save your soul
From hell a-riding on our range
Then, cowboy, change your ways today
Or with us you will ride
Trying to catch the devil's herd
Across these endless skies
Yippie-yi-o
Yippie-yi-yay
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky

No better words need said! Cash only says 6 white horses.....you know the rest!

Es demasiado hermosa la melodia.
Got to love that little cocky smirk
Como assim não tem nenhum brasileiro aqui ouvindo essa maravilha de música? Isso deveria ser um Hino nacional 😍❤️❤️ o tempo passa e ela sempre será boa😍❤️
Tem brasileiro, sim. A coloquei como campainha do meu celular.
Pena que o video só tem dois minutos.
Foi tema de filme de faroeste?
Fallout people?
A big thanks to Ennio Morricone, Who introduce the electric Guitar on the western movie❤️
U can see in his face he knows how badass all this is. This is my intro song now for anything in life.

Esto es lo que debe aprender la juventud, buena música, unos seres humanos bien vestidos y muy respetuosos para nuestros oídos, esto es versará música señores y no como las letras del reageton. Gracias por leer.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Si carnal y la mitad de estos señores tan bien vestidos y respetuosos linchaban negros. La otra solo los odiaban.
@@dontknow3865 Lo que dices no tenía idea, igual me gusta su música pero es verdad que no hay que darle energía a los que son oscuro. Gracias por informar y gracias por leer.
Concuerdo que el reguetón es un asco, pero ustedes la gente de antes, piensan que vestirse bien ya es suficiente. Muchas personas de traje en esa época violaban, golpeaban mujeres, ponían los cuernos y apoyaban causas políticas corruptas.
@@ROCKNROLL947 :Es verdad lo que dices, yo me visto bastante diferente a lo que llaman moda pero yo me refiero a todo un conjunto. Te apoyo y también el Rock es una música agradable pero el regeton( como será que ni se escribirlo),es mucha violencia sexual, disculpa pero es mi pensamiento. Gracias por responder con lo que es tu pensamiento y me gustó por lo respetuoso, uno se puede poner de acuerdo con gente como tú, te felicito y gracias por leer.
The guy on the maracas is really having a good time 😂
Walt Disney with Maracas 🪇
He looks like if Walt Disney was Mexican playing with maracas
Maraca man was absolutely crucial to the song and he knew it. Wish someone could find him and give the credit he deserves.
I remember watching the Lawrence Welk show with my parents every Saturday night. I'm 67 now but it still resonates with me now.
I'm only 2 years younger than you, and while I didn't watch then, more recently I've learned to appreciate Welk and his band more.
Neil levang forever and ever since Ipiales Nariño Colombia América Latina 😅😅

The guy with the maracas is far enjoying this the most..
But now we have a weapon, we’ve never used before…

Grandes músicos , dejaron historia.
Muchas gracias por tan bella joya
Какие прекрасные, благородные улыбки)) Сейчас это редкость
연주가 너무좋아요 백번듣고있어요 ~~명곡중에 명곡이네요 보컬에서 연주하는분들도 여유와 멋이있어보입니다
I totally agree
You're not wrong sir
bro is speaking facts
Vocalists ? Where ?
je suis assez d'accord
I like how everyone is just amazed and looking at Niel play the guitar like they have never seen anyone play like him
Wow, just wow 😱 truly a masterpiece 🔥
Came here after watching Rango ❤
Now we have a weapon we've never used before...
June 2085 anybody???
i wish i had the happiness the maracas guy have
I have that happiness!
The guy with the Maracas was having the time of his life! hahaha
That is what Lawrence Welk expected of his musical ‘family’. They must have agreed with hi since most of the stayed with the orchestra for many😊 years.
My man on maracas is killin' it
Who knew that I'd ever hear a better rendition of Ghost Riders in the Sky than Duane Eddy's? This is perfection.
