Yes, how true. Those magic years when the 50's singers gave way to the groups. I still love the Perry Como ballads, but suddenly it was the Beatles, Stones, RSG, TOTP, the pirate radio stations, Radio Luxemburg on the tranny. Completely out of touch with teenage stuff now, but even last night, still watching Tina Turner and all these wonderful videos.
1964 I was born,...😢..why does this song make me cry? This beautiful song reminds me of times long gone never to come back....😩 Greetings and much love from Germany.
I'm 79 years young. Born in Netherlands. But living in Thailand. Every day I listen to my old RUclips music. Music from the sixties and seventies. The best there's
Songs like this just send me straight back to my childhood. A simpler time. Harder and much poorer, but somehow more enjoyable and freer and the music of that time seems to capture that.
Have you heard that craps comming out of todays' radios???? What is it, too much drug, socialism; low IQs or what the heck is it that making those mad sounds what they call music....
You are so right, small things meant so much, now greed and money has taken over, but listening to this song captivates the good old past, because no matter how poor we were they were good times, and music and certain perfumes bring those memories back flooding the old tired heartstrings 🙏🙏♥️
Haven't heard this for decades, but as soon as the music started the lyrics just came into my mind. Music just lives deep inside of us. Wonderful years, wonderful sounds !
I often come back here to listen to this song. I met the love of my life in 1999 when these guys played in a small club, after they finished around midnight and I was finishing my drink ready to leave and a girl (young lady) walked in to the club, I stop and stared, she smiled. It took me an hour to pluck up the courage to say hello. It was instant, she was the one and the next twenty years were the best of my life. We both like The Searchers and saw them again this time as a couple soon after getting together. 20 years of bliss followed. In 2019, we played this at her funeral as the coffin disappeared behind the curtains, I lost her to cancer, she was only 41. Sitting back of an evening, I am in my happy place listening to this now.
Still sends shivers down my spine. It’s for everyone that remembers that first heart throb. I do recall it 65 years on and even his name. Love it, memories can’t be taken away and music brings it back so vividly. ❤❤❤
Music is so evocative------I listen to this and I am transported back to my teenage school days----first girlfriends-----teenage love-----set to a great musical soundtrack. I'm 72 now and approaching probably my last decade, or so, but I wouldnt swap being a boomer for anything. Those were the days my friend we thought they would never end.......!!
The soundtrack of my life, I’m 76 now, those were definitely the best years, the best music, no woke idiots, you could leave your door open, there was a thing called respect, not very common these days, unfortunately.
Yes. I went to a concert a few weeks ago. I was upset. Friends of 16 years had betrayed (we heard a recorded conversation (rant, diatribe) on their phone, which had accidentally dialled ours and kept on recording.). I actually went to the concert still physically sick from the betrayal and impending loss and thought, no, this makes no difference. I will just sit here as I have paid for the ticket. But, the concert sucked me in. It was The Searchers but also P J Proby, Wayne Fontana, Gary Puckett (without the Union Gap), and 3 of the Tremeloes guys. Yes, I had to accept we are now old along with these guys. Wayne Fontana's first joke was "Let's make you guys feel really old. Gary Puckett's "Young Girl" has just celebrated her 85th birthday. OK, desired effect. But it cheered me up. Young again? probably not.
The searchers were a great band but not all the bands of today are crap! Go on check out Curse of Lono, Samantha Fish, Tom Kilner. And there are many more besides them.
This is my favorite song of the Searchers. It's great they are still performing. I do get a kick out of Love Portion Number 9. Thank you for sharing this live performance.
This is one of the groups during my radio career I wish I would have seen in concert. One of the few groups who lasted 6 decades. No matter who they replaced, they still had that great sound. Thank you Searchers for some great flashback memories!
I saw them in the War Memorial Park in Basingstoke back in the early '80s, they were the headline band at 'Pop In The Park' in whatever year it was, which was always the last event of the old Basingstoke Carnival week which was discontinued by the Town Council in the mid-'90s. :(
Don’t feel sorry for them just because you don’t like their music. They like it and they don’t like ours from the 60’s so it’s just a matter of liking what you grew up to
In view of your comment you might like my e book "From Nappies to Long Trousers" available on Amazon Kindle £1.99. You can read the first couple of chapters for free. Best wishes and stay safe.
I discovered The Searchers about 25 years ago.We moved to S Wales & have seen them every time they've toured down here . It's always been a fantastic concert .
Always went out dressed smart suit and tie white shirt Windsor knot in the tie polished shoes had a good drink listened to the best music in decades I sit and sing all the sixties songs and think about those times with a tear in my eye we had the best none of this woke nonsense
This is my parents song!! It was playing when my dad was introduced to my mother in 1964, they were married in 1965. It is now 2021 and 56 years and 4 children later they are still going strong they hear this song and their world stops.
only 14 years before this all happened.Liverpool was a bombed out city i n World war 2 taking huge hits night after night by the Luftwaffe. the people were having to listen to Vera Lyn singing about wishing wells in country villages while our docks were ablaze night after night. then as the dust settled the youth of Liverpool took it in their own hands to liven things up and bring happiness. it was truly remarkable how the bombed city went on to lead the world forward in modern music. like it or hate it...you cannot ignore the Mersey sound and what it did not only for merseyside or the country..but indeed the world. thanks guys!
Every time I hear this song the hair stands up on the back of my neck I automatically drift back to the sixty's, hanging around the fairground just loving the great sounds as a 15yr old kid, the hollies .the Who, Small Faces. You just can't buy that history that some of us were so fortunate to be a part of.
I saw the searchers live in 1963 at the winter gardens Blackpool they are like a good wine they have got better with age. Ironic the original version of this song was sung by an american songstress name of Jackie De Shannon Ive still got it nearly 60 years later. I wonder what ever happened to her?? Great music never ages unlike human beings.
She's still around and working in the industry. She sure wrote some great tunes! I saw the Searchers with the Dave Clark Five in Portland, Oregon. I think it was 1962.
You are so right, gosh I miss those days!!! I’m 71 now and a retired cop here in NY and a badly wounded Vietnam Vet. I just got back out of the VA hospital again, my wounds just won’t let go!!!
A sad day day when they retired for our generation, understandable but a very sad loss for proper music lovers of real 60's bands. Miss you lads and hope you have a good retirement, just hoping for a comeback one off tour
After many decades still amazing. I feel very fortunated to have lived in such an iconic decade when music was something profound and magical. Wouldn,t trade 60,s & 70,s music for anything that has come since.
I heard this song being played yesterday at a country store outside event whilst waiting for Santa to arrive. Just had to check this Searchers version out, and found it "live" so no studio tweaking going down here. Bought back many memories of being able the hop between all the pirate radio stations before they were banned. There was one part of this version which bought a tear to my eyes. The camera panned onto the audience, who like me remembered all the words and sang along, but the best bit was when they stopped vocalising and let the audience call out in tune "Walk in the room". Absolute magic.
Im 70 though I’ve the looks and energy of a 50 year old as I’m blessed with good genes and listening to music from my youth just keeps me young at heart Thanks for this video Brilliant! 🎶✨🙏❤️
Exceptionally well written and cleverly devised piece of popular music. We have Jackie Deshannon to thank for writing this observation of the thrills and traumas of infatuation. I particularly like the way the hook creeps up on you after several fairly innocent sounding bars of melody and then BANG, - the logic of the song is suddenly revealed in all its pyrotechnic glory!
i remember seeing these guys live when i was 15 years old in 2009 and sitting right in the front row with both my parents and family friends and the bass play actually spoke to me during the show asking why someone so young was attending their show and was glad someone so young enjoyed their music..... i love this band and to be honest it was the best show i have been to in my life
You seem to have a wise,sensible head on young shoulders Stephen. From that comment and your usage of the English Language I will predict you have a bright future :) Word of advice from a 60-year-old Guy who still acts and thinks like a 35-year-old..Don't EVER waste an opportunity when it presents itself and grasp it with both hands as situations can change very quickly. Good Luck !
thank you. i do my best to grasp everything as soon as i can. i act immature as most males do but i have set myself life goals and so far at the age of 22 i am reaching my goals, still have a lot to go for, but i am not slowing down. I was brought up listening to real music even the videos of me and my siblings when we were young have the golden oldies playing over the top of the clips. i do listen to heavy metal and modern pop, but by far my favorite is the golden oldies and original rock and roll. Thank you very much. this is one of the reasons why older things are better, you dont know me fully but with one comment have offered advice and been genuinely friendly, you dont get that with my generation. Thank you very much i appreciate the advice and comment :)
Thanks, Bruce and to demonstrate the point, just months after I wrote "situations can change very quickly" little did I know that my best Female friend sold one of her 2 houses (on my advice after saying it would be her Pension at 58 years of age) and after 40 years being a friend, on and off (she lived with someone for decades) she got around £1 MILLION pounds and I never saw her again...... The irony is if I kept my mouth shut she would have rented it out for £2,500 a month and I would, probably, still be seeing her!
This isn't magical its surgical , sounds as if they have had their balls cut off , some bands don't know when its time to call it a day. Saw them last year in Swansea just waited for the next act !
cjm52 How old are you ? True everyone gets older any body who is a real entertainer enjoys giving a performance at any age you require a fast visit to a good doctor you have a real Problem!
For all you critics out there who say they're living in the past I wanna say "thank God".They're keeping alive the best rock sound to ever come out of England. I knew and appreciated them 35 years ago but only recently [ thanks to you tube] discovered the brilliance of the latest and best version of the Searchers. Please come to America soon. You're on my bucket list.
God I miss the 60s it hurts xxx
join the rest of us.......there was so much to enjoy and look forward to.......and the music
Me to ❤🕺💥😄
Thanks the Merseyside sounds , great time to be alive 😅😅😅
Me to. At least you could understand what they were signing about. Not like today’s rubbish.
Ian 83 but I would give anything for a trip back to the 60s and 70s the greatest music ever
I'm eightie two and love to go back them brilliant days ,

Yes, how true.
Those magic years when the 50's singers gave way to the groups.
I still love the Perry Como ballads, but suddenly it was the Beatles, Stones, RSG, TOTP, the pirate radio stations, Radio Luxemburg on the tranny.
Completely out of touch with teenage stuff now, but even last night, still watching Tina Turner and all these wonderful videos.

A simpler time. Harder and much poorer, but somehow more enjoyable and freer and the music of that time seems to capture that.
Have you heard that craps comming out of todays' radios???? What is it, too much drug, socialism; low IQs or what the heck is it that making those mad sounds what they call music....
Mark you have "Nailed it". Poorer, freer & happier by a mile.
You are so right, small things meant so much, now greed and money has taken over, but listening to this song captivates the good old past, because no matter how poor we were they were good times, and music and certain perfumes bring those memories back flooding the old tired heartstrings 🙏🙏♥️
Learned the difference between the things we needed and the things we wanted
Yes ...hard to beat the old songs....I am 80yrs old & could listen to these songs forever... cheers 🦘🦘😃
I am 77 and hope I can. That WOULD be heaven.😢
Such a beautiful song! Love the Searchers' version and it's so nice to see them still performing!
The sixties the best decade for music you understood, and loved, still love ❤❤❤❤
I was born in 1957 and still love this song at age 66
I was born in 1971 and I love these, especially Frank-and he's a year older than my dad x.
I can listen to this over and over since it was first released in New Zealand I'm 76. Now still it says so much
Haven't heard this for decades, but as soon as the music started the lyrics just came into my mind. Music just lives deep inside of us. Wonderful years, wonderful sounds !
Keith Iemon, What a perfect summation of the memories and emotion this wonderful song elicits...
Wonderful years, wonderfull sounds and wonderful radio london 266

Much love……I have been there too and I feel your pain ❤

Heartbreak...🥲
These guys are a american or from the UK?
@@larryvermeer6170 A British band from Liverpool who started up in the 1960's
The Searchers have proved it - we don't get old, we just get better!
Just like fine wine...
Sixties for ever and ever amen
Fantastic song and group👍
So true
Now there was a proper boy band
Still sends shivers down my spine. It’s for everyone that remembers that first heart throb. I do recall it 65 years on and even his name. Love it, memories can’t be taken away and music brings it back so vividly. ❤❤❤
Young love? a beautiful thing, thanks for sharing, x
I was born in 1957 my mum and aunts all lived fifty and sixty music I grow up on it even now now I'm 62 it's still the best ever
Music is so evocative------I listen to this and I am transported back to my teenage school days----first girlfriends-----teenage love-----set to a great musical soundtrack. I'm 72 now and approaching probably my last decade, or so, but I wouldnt swap being a boomer for anything. Those were the days my friend we thought they would never end.......!!
I’m with you there Terry 👍
I’m ten years behind you.. and there’s someone 10 years behind me, and on we go.....
Yes im 70 now ,agree with you,60s best years and music always,lots great memories associated with these songs.
Well said terry great times we had with the best music and the world was a great place stay safe
Well said ....memories of 60s wonderful we were so lucky to be there .
I was a teenager and didn't speak in English but l loved this song. Now I'm 70 years old and understand it perfectly.
The soundtrack of my life, I’m 76 now, those were definitely the best years, the best music, no woke idiots, you could leave your door open, there was a thing called respect, not very common these days, unfortunately.
Dave, I'm 74. We had quite a ride didn't we?
I'm 72 and know where you're coming from.
Yes, know exactly what you mean, I am 71 and would give anything to turn back the hands of time to that era.
The 60's was a magic time to live. Respect was big then.
Exactly
we are all old now but listening to this, we are young again
Yes. I went to a concert a few weeks ago. I was upset. Friends of 16 years had betrayed (we heard a recorded conversation (rant, diatribe) on their phone, which had accidentally dialled ours and kept on recording.). I actually went to the concert still physically sick from the betrayal and impending loss and thought, no, this makes no difference. I will just sit here as I have paid for the ticket.
But, the concert sucked me in. It was The Searchers but also P J Proby, Wayne Fontana, Gary Puckett (without the Union Gap), and 3 of the Tremeloes guys. Yes, I had to accept we are now old along with these guys. Wayne Fontana's first joke was "Let's make you guys feel really old. Gary Puckett's "Young Girl" has just celebrated her 85th birthday. OK, desired effect. But it cheered me up.
Young again? probably not.
My mum was Sheila North
Always and Forever, YOUNG to the Music.. 👴🏼
So very true can't take away what we had
Not old! OldER!!😊🎶
this music will never die they can still do it mate not crapp like these days
I saw them in Berlin live at a club. Great times.
you are so right.
agree 100%, they are all commercial shits.
@@digitalpau2347 when bands could play and they still can....agree with you both..
The searchers were a great band but not all the bands of today are crap! Go on check out Curse of Lono, Samantha Fish, Tom Kilner. And there are many more besides them.
A band who served their time in the sixties and can still deliver - not like today's overnight wonders - who don't have a clue !
Yes,and no one remember the latest thing aka Chip paper.
se
same old magic that first love
IT WAS SO SIMPLE THEN RESPECT FEELING LOVE
Totally agree with this comment Douglas❤
This is my favorite song of the Searchers. It's great they are still performing. I do get a kick out of Love Portion Number 9. Thank you for sharing this live performance.
This is one of the groups during my radio career I wish I would have seen in concert. One of the few groups who lasted 6 decades. No matter who they replaced, they still had that great sound. Thank you Searchers for some great flashback memories!
I saw them in the War Memorial Park in Basingstoke back in the early '80s, they were the headline band at 'Pop In The Park' in whatever year it was, which was always the last event of the old Basingstoke Carnival week which was discontinued by the Town Council in the mid-'90s. :(
YEAH!!
Songs like this never grow old they never get tired they just become timeless pieces of music.
Can you believe that? Still one of the best musical scores ever written and performed to perfection. Thank you, gentlemen.
It’s good,but, not as good as Jackie delshannons original version IMHO!
Abba's Agneta performs this song almost as good, and she has violins in background.
Great to see them and sounding as good as ever.
Fantastic live version. They still sound as good as they did in the 60s. I loved this song when I was a teenager in the 60s and still love it now
Love this song, I was a teenager in the 60's, and these lyrics really do mean something to me. I'm addicted to playing it and 'Have I the Right'
Have i the right another goodie from the 60s..
Loved you all from 1966 I was 15 love you guys now i now 70 THANK YOU THANK YOU GOD BLESS
1952 here and you guys are right on the money. Not just Beatles and Stones but so many more. Such great music!
This is an incredible live version. I am glad that I hit the 60's with the Searchers. Great music to flashback to a more simpler time.
My God....as a 60's Boomer....I am lucky and proud I grew up during that era....I feel sorry for today's youth who have garbage to listen to...
Don’t feel sorry for them just because you don’t like their music. They like it and they don’t like ours from the 60’s so it’s just a matter of liking what you grew up to

Most music today is so annoying, lyrics, tunes is meaningless. all you hear is ye,ye,ye.
@@Benjie3406 ye,ye,ye, and meaningless lyrics: that's what my parents complained about in 1963 :-)

Are they still touring down there?

Such a great song, ty Jackie Deshannon
ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVER WRITTEN!!! SEARCHERS WILL BE FOREVER ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SONG!!!!
Jackie de Shannon wrote it but the Searchers booted the arse right out of it. Total class!
To be fair both the Searchers and Jackie DeShannons versions are exceptionally good.
Loved the 60s music,I still live in the past with the music,watch them on RUclips every day.
Ever so smart men back then.
This song was on the juke box when my future wife walk in the Oak Inn in Chesterfield UK happy days
I’m a girl of the late 50’s and early 60’s and I just love when I see all the older groups sings again. Keep it going guys😀
old ones are the best ones
Another wee night out but always love coming home to this, brilliant song will never die xx
brilliant group great songs
Great tune from a great time in music.
Played this at my Dads funeral i know its a happy song but brings a tear to my eyes everytime
You are allowed to be happy …it’s your dad 👍
Too bad we can't turn time back to those days I fell in love with my wife and played these songs in the band. I miss you honey. Blessings Georgie
Travelled from New Zealand to Melbourn,too see them ,thanks o our Daughter,who knew we were fans from the 60s

This band is a real evergreen
They've outlasted lots of other 60s bands and were much underrated at the time
Class act , well done you guys!
I am 76 and so love the old music
We listen to this, and for a few minutes we're not old anymore.
John, so glad you weren’t like Daddy Cool who got stoned and missed it! I love this song too. X
This song will never die so brilliant, Canny beat 60s no music like Searchers. Xx
I am so grateful I got to see these guys live in 2023. I adore their music. A nearly 70 year career.
I was born in 1944 and went through every kind of music and this can't be beat.
I was born in 1943 & I totally agree with you. Keep listening & stay safe.
Wow, sounds as good as the first time I heard it way back in the 60s
Loved the 60's, I too feel lucky I grew up then. That's when music was great music unlike today's rubbish. It was a great era.😎👗👠💄🎶

This was real music not the garbage we have today
So agree

Wow......they still sound great!
Im old as well grew up in 50\60s didn't have much but the music ❤
I was lead singer rhythm guitarist in bands for 30 years I must have sung this hundreds of times, fantastic song fantastic memories
I heard this song being played yesterday at a country store outside event whilst waiting for Santa to arrive. Just had to check this Searchers version out, and found it "live" so no studio tweaking going down here. Bought back many memories of being able the hop between all the pirate radio stations before they were banned. There was one part of this version which bought a tear to my eyes. The camera panned onto the audience, who like me remembered all the words and sang along, but the best bit was when they stopped vocalising and let the audience call out in tune "Walk in the room".

Brings back memories the year I left school and I watch the Freeview channel 75 they play 60s music all day and evening :-).
Searchers I love you all music fantastic I still love to hear your music all the from Ireland. Kath🤢
Im 70 though I’ve the looks and energy of a 50 year old as I’m blessed with good genes and listening to music from my youth just keeps me young at heart Thanks for this video Brilliant! 🎶✨🙏❤️
Saw these live in 1967 at RAF Station I was serving with at the time, Absolutely brilliantly talented group.
My wife bought me a Rickenbacker 12 string for my 65th birthday so now we can do this song properly in my band!!! What a great number.
Probably the best song they ever did.Love the riff on the Rickenbacker still after all these years.
See Jackie deSannon sing it she wrote it
@@ncwdevine Correct. I love the searchers but prefer the original by Jackie, She also wrote Needles and Pins also covered by the searchers
I always love a Rickenbacker twelve string.
Had the pleasure of seeing you up close at a party in Leeds. Great to listen to your music and look back at pictures of that night
Exceptionally well written and cleverly devised piece of popular music. We have Jackie Deshannon to thank for writing this observation of the thrills and traumas of infatuation.

One of my most favorite groups of all time.I'm 73 now and THANK God I grew up with groups like the search er
I saw the searchers over 100 times they never failed to give agreat concert didnt matter what the line was they had that unique sound
One of my all time favourites. From South Africa
i remember seeing these guys live when i was 15 years old in 2009 and sitting right in the front row with both my parents and family friends and the bass play actually spoke to me during the show asking why someone so young was attending their show and was glad someone so young enjoyed their music..... i love this band and to be honest it was the best show i have been to in my life
You seem to have a wise,sensible head on young shoulders Stephen.
From that comment and your usage of the English Language I will predict you have a bright future :)
Word of advice from a 60-year-old Guy who still acts and thinks like a 35-year-old..Don't EVER waste an opportunity when it presents itself and grasp it with both hands as situations can change very quickly.
Good Luck !
thank you.
i do my best to grasp everything as soon as i can. i act immature as most males do but i have set myself life goals and so far at the age of 22 i am reaching my goals, still have a lot to go for, but i am not slowing down.
I was brought up listening to real music even the videos of me and my siblings when we were young have the golden oldies playing over the top of the clips.
i do listen to heavy metal and modern pop, but by far my favorite is the golden oldies and original rock and roll.
Thank you very much. this is one of the reasons why older things are better, you dont know me fully but with one comment have offered advice and been genuinely friendly, you dont get that with my generation.
Thank you very much i appreciate the advice and comment :)
Enjoy your retirement lads,it was really nice to see you all, in town this year. Thank you,for your lovely music.
@@Isleofskye nicely said .👍😏
Thanks, Bruce and to demonstrate the point, just months after I wrote "situations can change very quickly" little did I know that my best Female friend sold one of her 2 houses (on my advice after saying it would be her Pension at 58 years of age) and after 40 years being a friend, on and off (she lived with someone for decades) she got around £1 MILLION pounds and I never saw her again......
The irony is if I kept my mouth shut she would have rented it out for £2,500 a month and I would, probably, still be seeing her!
Still love it after nite out listening to this and music out there nite out, crap. Canny beat it xxx
This is just magical. Listened through a high quality headset and it just doesn't get any better. It's what music is all about.
This isn't magical its surgical , sounds as if they have had their balls cut off , some bands don't know when its time to call it a day. Saw them last year in Swansea just waited for the next act !
They sound great, you just need some surgery on your ears..
Matter of opinion lets just say my money is better in my pocket. I am a Searchers fan but there is time when you need to retire in life.
cjm52 How old are you ? True everyone gets older any
body who is a real entertainer enjoys giving a performance at any age you require a fast visit to a good doctor you have a real Problem!
Thank you 😂for these wonderful memories!
Reminds me of the school dance in the juniors back in the 60s thanks guys great tune x
Wow,I,so glad to see these guys again!
Singing well and looking very good.
Long live the sixtees!!
For all you critics out there who say they're living in the past I wanna say "thank God".They're keeping alive the best rock sound to ever come out of England. I knew and appreciated them 35 years ago but only recently [ thanks to you tube] discovered the brilliance of the latest and best version of the Searchers. Please come to America soon. You're on my bucket list.
I saw this clip for the first time tonight. After all these years they still sound good.
I am old too but the most amazing period of music I personally witnessed and enjoyed and still do...
