Great classic song. Takes me back to simpler carefree times, good times with friends,. We grew up with the greatest rock and roll music there ever was. And, we got along just fine without cell phones and computers.
Yes & still today! Appreciate it more as I’m 73. I was close to these dudes in age.... best years then... hope they r at peace! Wish they had a better individual to help their career. They got screwed.
That is soo cool, I would have loved that on Prom night or ANY NIGHT at my school! I got to see them live in concert in SanFrancisco, Ca. That was soo exciting !
I AGREE AS THAT'S THE PERFECT DESCRIPTION, "HAUNTS"! I MET AND LOST MY LOVE AS A KID LISTENING TO THIS SONG! 55 YEARS LATER I STILL FEEL THE PAIN AND SONG! NO ONE CAN TELL ME THAT PUPPY LOVE IS NOT REAL AS I STILL LOVE HER! LOL!
@@snapnpiksallthetime7672 JUST 2 DAYS AGO I ACTUALLY HEARD THIS SONG ON THE RADIO AND I ASKED EVERYONE TO BE SILENT AS I WANTED TO LISTEN TO IT. MEMORIES.
It truly is a haunting song of unrequited love, and the maturity he shows by saying its not her fault. The heart wants what it wants, and nobody is to blame. The amazing thing is how young he was when he wrote the song. Just as good almost 60 years later. Great earworm to have stuck in your head.
This is my all time favorite song, ever. It is in its own category. Brilliant composition, and stand alone haunting sound effects. Steve's voice was meant to blend with the string instruments. Different, a good different.
As a child of the Sixties, yes that decade was special, but let's not forget that there was a lot of pain and ugliness. JFK, MLK, RFK assassinations, Vietnam, lynchings in the South, racism, segregation...
I think "Walk Away Renee" and "Cherish" by The Association are the greatest songs about unrequited love ever written. The simplicity and haunting melodies drive the lyrics emotional message. Few have not felt that knawing queasy feeling about someone you love, and realizing they will never return those feelings. I've been there more than once.
@@ampornaudiethai7925 Absolutely! I had forgotten about that great Classics IV song with the beautiful vocals of Dennis Yost. Thanks for remembering “Traces”.
Eyes alittle misty listening to this, a kid when they had their hey day, one of my favorite songs of the 1960s, they sound as good as they did back in '67, one of the best Pop ballards of all time ...
These guys are real musicians, how they replicated this song again so perfectly half a century hence. Always loved this song. Wish I was there that night.
I am one too and this crowd sucked. It made me mad how weak the applause was after this. They did a great job after all these years. The average person doesn't realise how hard it is to replicate an original song. They deserved a big applause. Thumbs up to them.
I remember Mike Brown when he was 14 at 21 Falmouth Street in Brooklyn. He was my friend's younger brother. He used to ask me to teach him how to sing. Three years later I heard his great song on the radio.
Just the way I remember it in 1966. Years later I was in Paris and went down to the Left Banke to a little cafe. This song started going thru my mind and brought back some dear memories.
Just sad they've only got a few hundren followers and a bunch of thumbs down. I'm 53, grew up with this song, loved it to death, heard it hundreds of times, esp with iPods & RUclips. They did this song righteous, love this video, G*d bless them all.
Best recent live performance I've seen especially considering their age! Perfectly imperfect! This one, brought tears to my eyes. I am truly choked up. Thanks guys. Now I've got to hear it again at the risk of really breaking down... See also Pretty Ballerina performed with THE Michael Brown at BB Kings.
How fast the years have passed, faster and faster each year as they progress! It was just yesterday and I was in the 7th grade in 1967, a dork experiencing feelings of absolutely pure love for the imaginary, exceptionally beautiful and wonderfully special woman of my dreams that was written into the best songs of the era...such as this one! Those were the first bittersweet times of my life, and I remember them well!
I recently remembered that song from pre 1970. I was born in 66 and I remembered hearing it before that. So I Googled. And here it is. I remembered being very very small and my older brother ( who's been gone 32 years) playing it over and over.
Great rendition of one of my favorite songs. Strings just add so much to any song. Never tire of hearing it or Pretty Ballerina for that matter. Thanks for sharing.
For God's sake... this recording is never going to be duplicated like the original group did it 47 yrs ago. however this rendition is probably one of the better ones that I have heard.... many kudo's to this group of musicians.
My group actually had the same management as them I remember their gold record up on the wall Walk Away Rene.It is a little pitchy but this is 50 years later and live.They do the job, great song great group,great times!!!
hard to sing in tune that close together. they did a great job, because they Felt it, and i don't mind off notes here or there. It is a great song sung by the real guys. It was my honor to record it forty years ago. couldnt help it. love the song.
@@margfinn5889 I've been a violinist for 62 years and remember songs from that time. I'm fairly certain Buddy Holly started using strings on his later songs and the Beatles picked up on that. And I read that Michael Brown's father was a violinist.
My mom's funeral was on July 21, 2011. I read in the papers that The Left Banke was playing @ Littlefield's, right near me. I immediately got a ticket, only $20. It was part of this tour and one of the most beautiful concerts I've ever been to, and just the music I needed to hear. The street and the lot they sing about is near 205th Street and the Grand Concourse, the route I used to walk myself on the way to the subway from Bronx HS of Science.
Have loved this song since it came out in 1966...can't decipher all the words...but it is a "roll down the car windows & turn up the volumne" tune all my life..
And when I see the sign that points one way The lot we used to pass by every day Just walk away, Renee You won't see me follow you back home The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same You're not to blame From deep inside the tears that I'm forced to cry From deep inside the pain that I chose to hide Just walk away, Renee You won't see me follow you back home Now, as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes For me, it cries Just walk away, Renee You won't see me follow you back home Now, as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes For me, it cries Your name and mine inside a heart upon a wall Still finds a way to haunt me though they're so small Just walk away, Renee You won't see me follow you back home The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same You're not to blame
Paris, 1966, the end of summer just like now, already some dead leaves blowing toward the Seine, hearing this song. Going home, thinking that my novel was unpublishable, expecting nothing. Then everything happened. Luck. 56 years of luck. May it happen to you all.
Based on that, I agree. It is written in the description "Recorded November 12, 2011 @ DromNYC, by our friend, Froilan Frovelos"... I thought he was talking about that live performance.
@@lehec Yes but you responded in 2018 which was 7 years later! So you would have to add 7 years to 2011 ( when it was 45 years old) making it 52 years old at that time
I was 9 in 1966. And for being kids, we were very much in tune with all that was mod and psychedelic in terms of pop culture, music, art and clothing fashions. We wore Beatle boots, Neru shirts, striped flares, had variations on the Beatle haircut, the whole bit! I remember listening to the Left Bank on the radio and they were an integral part of the soundtrack of our young lives!
just enjoy the moment. I grew up listening to the original, along with all the other lost classics. this IS a nice variation though. glad the song is still a hit to todays ears.
I think Pretty Bellerina,Walk Away Renee by The Left Banke and Things Id'e Like To Say and I will Alway's Think About You are 4 of the best.... soft... love songs ever written!!!! There all in my top 10 songs of all times! :)
Way back in 1966, went to a concert at Tampa convention Center and saw The Beach Boys,? And the Mysterians, the association and these guys. Absolutely fantastic show. A few years later I got to see this band in a small club in Sarasota Florida. They were absolutely amazing. Good times
This is fantastic! So good to hear this fine presentation of Left Banke. The lead singer does a great job of singing Steve's parts. Please come to California! Walk Away Renee is the second single I ever bought.
This is as good as it gets!!! This is such a "Great" "LIVE" video!!! The vocals are so clear and precise that it brings tears to my eyes. This is one of my Top 10 songs of my lifetime....These guys are brilliant and did such a fine job at there age.....Way to go! My favorite song of all times is New Colony 6 followed by The Left Banke and Pretty Ballerina....Two of the best songs ever, I think! :)
Love seeing this video. Those of us who caught their incredible live performances in 2012 were very lucky. Mike Fornatale did a fabulous job singing lead on the band's entire repertoire. I'm only sorry the band's comeback was so short.
@@MrTrashcan1 I sure do. I'm still in touch with a lot of people I met there. Unfortunately I don't remember anyone named trashcan. ;-) Care to tell me who you are?
This is definitely one of the best tunes of the 60’s, I still remember when I was 9 hearing it on the radio, it has a magical quality. 🎶

The strings and flute add so much to this song. Almost like additional voices.
Check out the Southside Johnny version with the Sax.
Over 50 years later and I still dig this tune---
Thank you♥️
Me too, luv.
These guys played at my high school prom in 1968... pretty cool.

The BEST. I was 13 yrs old.
Me, too. I'm missing my childhood tonight. I was 11 when this was popular....wish we could do it all over again!

I think the whole world is going to realize one day what a special time in America the 60's & 70's were.Thanks. Bryan.
Don't forget the late 50's
The 60s despite or maybe because of vietnam were well worth the living.
Not just US 😊.
As a child of the Sixties, yes that decade was special, but let's not forget that there was a lot of pain and ugliness. JFK, MLK, RFK assassinations, Vietnam, lynchings in the South, racism, segregation...
considering what a hash it is now, you may be correct...
Beautiful song. The music from that era is the best and most heartfelt. ❤
Thank you, and God Bless…😻
47 years later and the vocals are still great.
Loved the song when i was 12 and still do.
Thank you😻
Breaks my heart that Michael Lookofsky is no longer with us. He was such an amazing talent
That he was👍🏻👏🏻😻
Even after 47 years, the harmony is better than some of the stuff I hear today!
Right on brother.
@@kevinquinn3763 Ugh...that is a *FEMALE* you replied to, not a male.
@@allenkennedy6748 That's not nice.
That was an impressive performance and very well recorded
That is obviously playback! What we hear is not the performance that we see! So how they sounded ofter 47 years is still open to debate!
I think "Walk Away Renee" and "Cherish" by The Association are the greatest songs about unrequited love ever written. The simplicity and haunting melodies drive the lyrics emotional message. Few have not felt that knawing queasy feeling about someone you love, and realizing they will never return those feelings. I've been there more than once.
Half heaven, half heartache by Gene Pitney from roughly the same era.
AGREED! And to make it even MORE direct, it was more than just one girl actually named Renee who was the 'unrequited love' in my case! :( :(
I would like to add "Traces"by the Classic IV on that list also.
@@ampornaudiethai7925 Absolutely! I had forgotten about that great Classics IV song with the beautiful vocals of Dennis Yost. Thanks for remembering “Traces”.
Add "Long Long Time" by Linda Ronstadt
A 15 year old heartbroken boy in Brooklyn NY wrote this. 😔💔
monkfistlust...yes, his name was Michael Brown, RIP.....
And Steve Martin Caro's soulful voice captured the heartache perfectly in 1966.
Brings back memories. I think of my brother, who just died from COVID. He introduced me to the great music of the 60s.
@@whitelighttrainwreck3021 So sorry for your deep and personal loss. May your brother Rest in beautiful music.

Thank you so much. Stay safe
Glad to see the live strings here for this performance. They were a major part of the original recording. One of my favorite songs too!
Being a _'one hit wonder'_ band, I can't help but wonder how many times they've done this song. I'll bet thousands of times.
@@oregonpatriot1570 Not quite a one hit wonder band. I think you forgot about Pretty Ballerina and Desiree.

And when I see the sign that points one way
The lot we used to pass by every day
Just walk away, Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You're not to blame
From deep inside the tears that I'm forced to cry
From deep inside the pain that I chose to hide
Just walk away, Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now, as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes
For me, it cries
Just walk away, Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now, as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes
For me, it cries
Your name and mine inside a heart upon a wall
Still finds a way to haunt me though they're so small
Just walk away, Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You're not to blame
Here you go

Sounds incredibly close to the studio version.
It was cool that they brought the strings onstage with them to re-capture that sound. :)
They still sound fabulous Listening from Youngstown, Ohio
