LOL...I guess the younger generation can't remember the young John Travolta, the days he played Vinny Barbarino on "Welcome Back Kotter", and just how the man could friggin' dance!!! He showed his stuff in "Saturday Night Fever", then again in "Grease", and again in "Urban Cowboy". He's got incredible talent and is truly, one of the greats!!!
@@polishherowitoldpilecki5521 His career hit a downside like many do, but then came Pulp Fiction. And others. Hes still an A lister still in Hollywood.
And Michael, where he dances with all the ladies in the tavern. He's wearing that baggy overcoat to hide his angel wings and still the moves shine through. "He smells like cookies" Like Cruise, Travolta is one of the few teenage idol actors who made the transition into serious talent....Phenomenon, Civil Action, to name a few. There are not many that the general public recognize as famous for dance; Baryshnikov, Jackson, Hines, Travolta, Swayze, Walken and that's about it. Princess Diana was delighted with the opportunity to dance with Travolta at a White House reception.
it was June the 30th 1979, some friends and i went to Pasadena to catch a glimpse of the filming, fat chance, headed back to Houston, drove by the Summit and the Bee Gees were playing that night, marquee said, SOLD OUT, but lucky us found scalpers and got to see the Bee Gees in concert!!!!! what a night, the brothers and band took a break, they came back and announce that there were to be joined by a special guest, Travolta came to the stage and joined the brothers to perform you should be dancing he didn't do the dance, he was wearing black slacks white shirt rolled up sleeves and cowboy hat bearded face just like in this scene it was a mad house, we were close to the stage not floor but on the side seating, remember as if it was recently, hard to believe that it was 43 years ago!!!! still have the ticket stubs
I agree I'm sure he hasn't danced like that in years and they've had other contestants that have danced for a living before.. like the boy band members
This movie feels like home to me. My people are country..I saw it as a kid with my big sisters (all the time) I’m the only one that didn’t like country music..but I could sing along with all of them to this day. Now I love them for the memories they bring me. I’ve always loved this movie tho & I’ve always kept it in rotation..I just watched it twice a few weeks ago!
Back in the early 90's I used to country western dance at a bar in Sanford, FL. Every Friday or Saturday night there were a handful of men who'd do a choreographed men's line dance, complete with the hat-roll-down-the-arm move. The band was behind chicken-wire. If you didn't leave by 11:00pm, you'd be sure to see a bar fight. Great dancers there.
Well I think Travolta has the need to dance in most of his movies...like this is a perfect example of how (no matter what others think) he was serious about his dancing skills and getting it "right"...
@@joshuasanchez2042 Yep, Tony Lama made those. That particular wingtip was available in several colors and were really popular out west. They were pricy compared to some other brands, but were great quality.
@@randyporter3491 that’s good to know man. I’m from Chicago so I wouldn’t know much about that but I did meet a couple of people from Southern Kentucky and Alabama and that’s how I stumbled upon this movie when I was a kid.
Randy Porter: Me too! I LOVE those wingtip cowboy boots! Those are the first pair I've seen! They REALLY get my attention. Been looking for a pair of those! Those cowboy boots in particular are SO awesome, they need their own paid holiday!!
So many here in Texas , back then , thought he wasn't gonna be able to pull this role off ... Tell ya what ,the sure as hell did & then some . Especially when he came out on "Life On The Line" as a Lineman, the whole movie was great but he did that role 100% Justice . 2 of my favorites ❤️❤️🤠🤠 My daddy was a Journeyman Lineman Here in Texas,but traveled everywhere in the USA . He was called out n worked every single Hurricane and dangerous/destructive inland storms He just passed in June. He was a old fashioned,hard ass, even on us 3 girls ( I now know why, but I never got to thank him for that) as he got older , he apologized alot for it n being gone all the time..I always told him not to worry about it❤️ 🤠 ❤️ when I miss him I watch both movies..lol. he was alot ,really alot like the two guys in these movies (but everyone said he looked like a Mexican/Indian version of George Strait 😁🤠❤️)... But me I'm more like the Urban Cowboy movies but like both ... Bud and Sissy😂 Great clip!!! Thank you ❤️
He was amazing to watch. I was born in 1970 so i grew up watching this man dance. I Ioved him as Vinnie Barbarino in Welcome Back Kotter which we can still watch today. I believe that was his 1st role. But watching him dance just puts one in a trance ( didn't mean to rhyme lol) but it is true. His career went down hill for a bit but Pulp Fiction brought him back. Gotta watch his older movies, he was a sight to see. Urban Cowboy is one of my favorites. Proud to say i own it on dvd and 43 years later here we are still in "awe" over it.
John travolta has a special gift when it comes to any dance john can quite simply take any dance ...routine n make it his own indeed especially this dance scene bravo ...its electrifying 🎉👍😬
Worked on a hurricane repair crew in Houston for ATT in 1983; my coworkers went to Gilley’s until closing time and slept in their work trucks the following day. My job was to loudly tap the doors on their trucks when supervisors showed up, so they could sit up and act like they were doing something 😂
Grew up a few miles away and parents went to Gillies at that time. Houston was exploding like no city in decades and stealing the spotlite from NYC and LA. Just the place to be back then.
Me encanta ver a John Travolta y más cuando baila, como en Urban Cowboy, Miguel Ángel, pulp Fiction, vaselina, en the boy in the plastic Buble todavía estaba muy joven !
my mom said that the love scene was filmed at my aunts apartment and she lived next door and that the eletricity used for the scene they used my moms apartment :) and they gave my mom and my aunt free beer :)
Having lived through the urban cowboy era in Houston I can say nothing like that ever occurred in any bar. Maybe in a different part of town...........
I remember the day this was filmed. John Travolta was taught this dance by Patsy Swayze and Gator. She was so much fun to be around during the filming. Patsy is the mother of Patrick Swayze. It was not Patrick Swayze who taught John the two step in the movie the person who did worked at Gilley's and his name that we all called him was Gator and you can see Gator in the movie. A lot of people that worked at Gilley's and even some of the regulars got parts in the movie. This video was done so they could how the dance would work in the movie that is why you did not see this in the movie! But they did put the dance in the movie after all this you see in the clip. They finally got what they wanted and then he danced this clogging routineiin the movie. During the whole filming I never saw Patrick Swayse at the club. John never learned how to square dance during the movie. I know I was there and I knew how to square dance. Clogging is a form of country dancing and is related to square dancing if you clog while doing square dancing calls but those were never done just the clogging. There were a lot of scenes that were filmed but got cut out or cut up to shorten the film or else it could have been about 4 hours long. One night Patsy and her husband came out to party and they sat at my tables. They were celebrating because they had just purchased a bar out around Hempstead going toward Texas A & M. A few years after the movie yes the club burned down but that was the second time it had burned. There was great mystery about the club burning down both times. Never could underestimate Sherwood Cryer (Mr Pasadena Mofia)! The stories I could tell about that club and those around it. I also dated Mickey's saxaphone player for a couple of years. I may not know where all the skeletons are buried but I can tell you why they disappeared!
Hester Adamson I wish John would do more movies with some dancing in them! I love watching him ...loved him in "Sat. Night Fever", then this. And, although not being a country music fan much, still love whenEVER JOHN is dancing. We don't have any actors than dance much anymore.... except Patrick Swayze who was also terrific!!!
John Travolta could really dance very well. I would love to dance with him with my dress on. 👗👗 I give this video a few thumbs up. 👍👍 Now, here is a rose for John who calls himself Bud. From Kathy🌹🌹👩👩
there's a difference watching the movie now and seeing when it released, esp as an adult. this movie created trends and new appreciation for cowboy hat wearers.
I went to Gilleys before it burned down...a couple years after this movie and took pics all over the inside of that bar...and drank their dern beer too! :)
I would have loved to have seen a movie with both Travolta and Swayze. Damn, that would have been a classic. I miss Patrick Swayze. As as far as the bullshit that is going on concerning John Travolta, some asshole is trying to get paid. Just like when their son died in the Bahamas. His private life is between him and Kelly Preston. Not us. Let' s just all appreciate the man for his work and what he has done for the less fortunate. Bless you, you have brought me smiles, laughter and joy.
Those boots were the sh*t back then. I think I was around 9 and how my mom let me watch this movie at that age I'm not sure, but I had to have those same boots and wanted to be Bud. Lol
@@ronneyhess607 I LOVE those wingtip cowboy boots! Those are the first pair I've seen! They REALLY get my attention. Been looking for a pair of those! Those cowboy boots in particular are SO awesome, they need their own paid holiday!!

Theodorej1960 his career died before he could, dough.

He is part of the reason I was the only guy taking tap dancing until graduation. Have to dance like him

you didn't mention one of my favs of his "Michael" his dancing was seductive in it, although that caused me a little shame because he was an angel.
it was June the 30th 1979, some friends and i went to Pasadena to catch a glimpse of the filming, fat chance, headed back to Houston, drove by the Summit and the Bee Gees were playing that night, marquee said, SOLD OUT, but lucky us found scalpers and got to see the Bee Gees in concert!!!!! what a night, the brothers and band took a break, they came back and announce that there were to be joined by a special guest, Travolta came to the stage and joined the brothers to perform you should be dancing he didn't do the dance, he was wearing black slacks white shirt rolled up sleeves and cowboy hat bearded face just like in this scene it was a mad house, we were close to the stage not floor but on the side seating, remember as if it was recently, hard to believe that it was 43 years ago!!!! still have the ticket stubs
You lucky
I was there that night and so glad glad I was my brothers wingwoman. SO LUCKY TO WITNESS IT 💓
I had forgotten how great of a dancer he was. That was AWESOME!!!
what a perfectionist Travolta is!! He did it 5 times before he was satisfied..
One thing about John Travolta, he's one heckuva dancer!
I love watching John Travolta dance, especially in Saturday Night Fever. But his dance scene in Urban Cowboy is awesome, too.
And in pulp fiction
@@yazancallas AA@
Guess it paid off for his Mama to own that dance studio he grew up in after all :)
Same here,
Damn,i love this movie.Especially when he shaved his beard and got a hair cut and stood next to the bar all dressed up.Looking fine as always.
Same!!!
He was a good looking man
This movie's one of the few things my daughter and I agree on.
All that cardio paid off. John's still with us. ❤️
He’s only in his 60s. Lol.
@@audacious6312Well, some people don't always make it to their 60s, even if they do a lot of cardio exercises
@@JMarieCAlove Some people don’t make it to five years old. It’s still a weird thing to say for 60 year-old.
that's my favorite movie there's nothing like it I love it never get tired of watching it seen it so many times makes me feel great inside
He’s always been a great dancer! I’d love to see him win on DWTS
Agreed and I my opinion I think they haven't cause he's so good already
Now that wouldn't be fair. Hes that awesome!
I agree I'm sure he hasn't danced like that in years and they've had other contestants that have danced for a living before.. like the boy band members
Only washed up stars go on that
He's too cool to be on DWTS. A lot of has beens & wannabes on that show. He'd out dance them all anyway.
HE DANCED THE HELL OUTTA THAT DANCE..I LOVE IT!!!
but that is a WHITE Dance - move on to your African dance
@@nicholasb5458 shut up people can do whatever shut up
@@nicholasb5458 go back to Dixie land you racist rebel turd
Boy Travolta really could do any kind of dancing....and do it well.touche' John ;)
Touché
Christine Adams h
If I remember correctly, I read years ago that Patrick Swaze's parents were the choreographers in this movie.
Yeah he's a fine dancer
This movie feels like home to me.

never seen this...holycow. Remember seeing it with a local girl in Cumberland,Md. when it came out. love it
John Travolta is multitalented and one of the best Hollywood of all time.
John Travolta was a natural born dancer.
He is quite the dancer in his day John Travolta is the best dancer I've seen.
I love John Travolta!
Miss those Tony Lama wingtip boots ! Had a pair exactly like those BEFORE the movie came out, but they really got popular after the movie.
Tony Lama is the brand of the boots?

Thank you Patsy Swayze for putting this together------

My goodness he is so cool 😎 he's just smooth he's so cool...

Sooo awesome!! Love this movie!!!
Best scene ever on dancing with boots. 2020 🥰🥰

Grew up a few miles away and parents went to Gillies at that time. Houston was exploding like no city in decades and stealing the spotlite from NYC and LA. Just the place to be back then.
He's so awesome
I had boots just like this back then, before this movie was made!!
he's a good dancer for sure !!!
Love this Travolta dance and movie!!!!

Always love seeing this
YOU GO JOHN
Loved this movie💜
By far his best movie.
He started out with that cotton eyed joe and then river danced the HELL out of it!!
Guess it paid off for his Mama to own that dance studio he grew up in after all :)
I think you have him mixed up with Patrick Swayze, Patrick Swayze’s mother had a dance studio.🤔
And of Irish descent too
There is nothing Travolta can't dance!!!
Norman Alvarez I agree. And, I love watching him... but I sure would LOVE to dance with him!
