@@николаймешков-ь7кwell, let's not have ANY OTHER MUSIC besides what YOU like! You must be really busy if you post negative comments on everything you don't like!
Great to see Tony Jackson in the band . After all these years I realised that the drummer was clicking his fingers and not just looking like an idiot .
The music was certainly good, but don't forget about the Vietnam draft, JFK, RFK, MLK assassinations, and Charles Manson. It depends on how old of a teenager you were, as to whether the memories were all good or not
I love these old live performances. No crazy lights, or choreographed dancers, or backing tracks or even metronomes. Just four well dressed guys with their instruments and voices making great music.
Back when musicians had class, grooming, style and TALENT....pretty much illegal these days, since we see so much more 🤬Negative traits, from the top on down
There is- it's my grocery store, which plays the oldies, mostly. You can dance to them if you want to, and in my mid-70s, I don't much care what people think.
There used to be a place in Worcester Mass. In the late 80's early 90's ...played old rock-n-roll from the 50's & 60's ..forgot the name of the joint aka club 🤷🏼♂️ 😹😂😹
Up until the 60's musicians had a strict style. However, in exchange for freedom and development, they lost order and dignity. The 60's is a watershed moment in music and an eternal milestone.
Great era. Straight on great music. No fancy light shows to distract. No computers to adjust sound. No stupid theatrics. Just four great musicians with respectful clothes and super voices. The 60's had real talent. Hard working, decent, respected musicians. Conventional and standout models of proper behaviour.
I am 76 years of age. In my opinion, no band could do a song better than the Searchrrs. Their songs were done almost to the point of perfection. LOVE POTION #9 and Needles And Pins were great in the 60s and are still great today. Great sound!!!
I agree. The Searchers and The Hollies put me in mind of each other, considerably. I can't help but wonder if The Searchers took a que from The Seekers, or vice versa, for their group names. The Seekers, my favorite group, I know were from Australia, but first had their hits in England. Not sure, at this time, which group was the earlier of the two.
Absolutely adored Chris Curtis. The heartthrob of my teenage years. Was heartbroken when I heard he’d died. Very underrated musician. Rest in Peace my darling.
Yes John Rokicki...He, along with John Lennon, were my rhythm guitar mentors/idols..Buddy Holly, too..But that was latter 50's. These guys definitely hat that "it" factor!! McNally and Pender, the lead guitarist went on years after trying to "carry on the mantle" of the group!!
Yeah it was certainly a generation, I enjoyed growing up it was when it ❄️ it REALLY snowed.and it was time in the 60 when love was all around, specially the music.
From 1940 until around 1967 there was great music, Then music began to go into a dark direction, Now look at what they call music in 2020, YOU HAVE TO LAUGH. STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Back when you and your grandmother could watch Ed Sullivan and even if she didn't like the music, she'd say, "Aren't they nice looking boys!" Different times.
No tv in my grams house. I doubt she seen one till she was in her 50’s, doubt she ever watched a tv program; if she did it was most likely she already had dementia and had no idea what was going on. Yes, true.
That was the real day the music died for the 1950 through 63 teens. I never cared for the British Invasion although I was 18 when it came in but it also was about the same time drugs came in and None of my friends were a part of the drug scene either. We still loved the old time rock and roll.
@@Dank_Dank It is something it'll repeat for a long time. Imagine if in the 1890s people of that era thought music of the of 1900s was bad and don't know what kind of things. The same is going to happen to us, to you and me. For God's sake, it's going to happen to ALL OF US
Unforgettable moments... wonderful times, the sixties and seventies... quality music.. times when everything was much more relaxed. Big contrast to today's society...! "Needles And Pins - release: 1963" and still popular in 2023. The Searchers... pure youth sentiment...!
Andrew i like your comment i feel the same as you , These handsome very smart guys were the bees knees of the 60s era xx i was their xx What a beno we had , i saw these guys a few years ago ,, not many of the original group , however they were splendid in every sense lol Jane xx 💞💞💞💞
I find this performance absolutely perfect. Particularly impressive to me is the "crescendo" participation of Chris Curtis' drums that "tells" the full story . It seems I can't listen enough of it
I'm not going to lie, the only reason why I searched this band was because I'm a big Beatles fan, and in an interview from 1964 both John Lennon and Paul McCartney said that this was the band that they enjoyed listening the most, and now I can see why!!
When they got home to Britain after this show drummer Crumley (Curtis) and Pendergrast (Pender) lead guitar did the dirty. They conspired to have bass and singer Tony Jackson kicked out of Ithe group he formed in Liverpool in 1959.
He did leave but returned in the 70s for certain revival shows. He was ousted because of a drug problem. He might have helped form the group but Brian Jones also was kicked out of the Stones even though he was the founder. I've always heard that Mike Pender was the leader of the Searchers but you can hear anything. But, all the bands had conflict over the years so it might depend on what they were doing at the time.
I was lucky as a young teen to watch CBS’ The Ed Sullivan Show. How a newspaper columnist got a chance to host such an influential force for this band, The Beatles, and many other performers. I love this group and this song.
Hello Douglas, Agree with you, a unique sound in fact, gets better with age, strange sound, just pure Talent and Hard practice, you can feel something Different in this track! Regards.
They were short because there was limited time on top 40 radio and lots of records to be played. Extended versions of later years were album cuts. It's true that some extended versions were played on the radio like Safety Dance for example. The Wall and Nights Without Satin were better in the 4 minute version. The long versions just included shouting , sound effects and extended instrumental segments.
Oh I just adored this song, “Needles and Pins” ❤ Such a beautiful song by the very best group of the 60s! My favourite singer/guitarist was Mike Pender or Pendergast, oh so very handsome. 😊 I can’t remember the names of the other singer, and the drummer and the gorgeous blond guitarist, but oh they were such a wonderful group and sang brilliant songs! I’ll be singing their sensational songs from now on. Hubby and I married in 1972 and will have been married for 53 years on Wednesday the 8th of January. My hubby is an amazing man and so very handsome and due to my health not being great with epilepsy he does all the cooking and is simply amazing!!
I think I once crashed one of the Searchers gigs, back in 1991, in Wales. I couldn't afford entry. So, I chatted with the bouncer,, and listened for a couple of songs, before admitting I was a penniless student. We were all penniless students in 1991!
I lived thru all the 1960s stuff on Ed Sullivan in the USA and recall well my father saying ' ...they'll be gone in a few weeks ' about the Beatles ready to appear on Ed Sullivan as my sister and I waited for the B&W TV picture to improve with 'rabbit ears' ...
That drummer was Chris Curtis....the most talented musician on the planet. He sang high harmony, composed, and was, the leader until he left the band. Such an incredible sense of humor! ❤️❤️ RIP dear Chris.
@@cherixbiggs5819 Didn't know he was the most talented of all of them. I've held thim all in very high esteem, with the Beatles, Hollies , Who, Gerry & Pacemakers. .Didnt know he has passed on. Such a loss. They were a great Liverpudlian band, some of my heroes!!
As I commented maybe u didn't see it saw them with my sister over 50 yrs ago in a club they were all there not on a proper stage just there good old days xx
Going on 77 years of age and this song was the first of theSearchers I remember and loved. I cannot stop watching their performances. The SEARCHERS; part of my teenage years. I remember having this song playing every day on the hit parade whilstI worked Afternoon shift. So sad that two members are no longer with us. Chris Curtis was quite the lad. Tony Jackson a great bassist.. I wish I had a time machine to go back to the days when this band played.
I was 8 years old in '64. This is what was playing in the background of my wonder years... Just one the iconic songs of the 60s that defined the decade... ✌😄

Fond memories of them playing at a Sheffield U Students Union dance in 1964 when I was there . Everyone stopped dancing to listen and they sang Needles and Pins 3 times in a row.
@@AaronParasmo This was when the top groups toured and the Students Unions with their facilities and no overheads where the only ones that could afford them My wife when she was 17 at a Saturday night dances at Doncaster Tech twice danced to the Beatles before they became famous , Walking home with her friend their tour mini bus stopped and chatted her up . But she knew their was someone better than Paul and John waiting for her in the future!!
Oh yes!!! The Ed Sullivan Show was the hip 60s show that had everyone from The Beatles to Elvis to The Doors and every freaking British Invasion band like these incredible guys!! The 60s forever!!!

ANYONE HERE IN 2021 -----THE 1960'S & 1970'S WERE THE VERY BEST ERA ! FROM U.K
I lived thru all the 1960s stuff on Ed Sullivan in the USA and recall well my father saying ' ...they'll be gone in a few weeks ' about the Beatles ready to appear on Ed Sullivan as my sister and I waited for the B&W TV picture to improve with 'rabbit ears' ...
2024!
Here in 2024
One of the few times a group actually performed their song LIVE....no way can you match that drummer.
That drummer was Chris Curtis....the most talented musician on the planet. He sang high harmony, composed, and was, the leader until he left the band. Such an incredible sense of humor! ❤️❤️ RIP dear Chris.
@@cherixbiggs5819 Didn't know he was the most talented of all of them. I've held thim all in very high esteem, with the Beatles, Hollies , Who, Gerry & Pacemakers. .Didnt know he has passed on. Such a loss. They were a great Liverpudlian band, some of my heroes!!
@@cherixbiggs5819 Plus he helped form the band which became Deep Purple.
His real name was Chris Crummey! He was my uncle!@@cherixbiggs5819
I was lucky enough to see them live, an absolutely brilliant band. Chris Curtis their drummer was superb.
He had a stiff ride arm though, no wrist. Did OK, anyhow!
He resembles Dennis Wilson, a little.
Saw them live. Blue suits, brylcream hair, the works. The last band like this that came to town was Badfinger. Talk about influence.
As I commented maybe u didn't see it saw them with my sister over 50 yrs ago in a club they were all there not on a proper stage just there good old days xx
@@brendadrumm9451 love me Brenda love me true. My hearts beating like a drum :)
@@snapfinger1 go to bed ur tired lol x
This was the only song my elderly neighbor would ask me to blast on the speakers. Rest easy Rick. We miss you..
Classic pop... can change your mood
Nah. This is pure classic rock right here.
I think you're right... Keith Richards used to wear the same black resin, thick rimmed specs!@@beastbee0118
Going on 77 years of age and this song was the first of theSearchers I remember and loved. I cannot stop watching their performances. The SEARCHERS; part of my teenage years. I remember having this song playing every day on the hit parade whilstI worked Afternoon shift. So sad that two members are no longer with us. Chris Curtis was quite the lad. Tony Jackson a great bassist.. I wish I had a time machine to go back to the days when this band played.
I was 8 years old in '64. This is what was playing in the background of my wonder years... Just one the iconic songs of the 60s that defined the decade... ✌😄
I was nine in '64--and you are so right, George!!!
Yup I was 17 and these were magical years
@@hilarybromley3064. This is one I had to miss. Sorry to say. I was 18 years old and still going through Marine Corps Boot Camp down at Parris Island S.C. But I still love this Song. God Bless.
The drummer is absolutely on point , brilliant, the performance top drawer 🎼🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶
Dave Clark himself!
Die hatten wenigstens einen anständigen Haarschnitt und liefen nicht herum wie all die Filzläuse zu der Zeit.
Und singen konnten sie auch.
Hut ab, Jungs!
Stimmt. Smokey aber auch.... Grüße aus Kolumbien!
@@mattilangofficial Grüße zurück aus dem schönen Dithmarschen an der Nordsee.
Ja, die Jungs von "Smokie" haben das Lied ganz gut nachgespielt. Man darf diese häßlichen Filzläuse aber nicht dabei sehen.
@@Don.Camillo.und.Peppone Hatten die welche? Als 12 jähriger war mir das egal 🤣🤣🤣🤣
So glad I got to see them on their Farewell tour this year. One of the most underrated rock bands ever!
It turns out that it wasn't their farewell tour. They're doing another one in the first half of next year.
@barneyburnham2673 Going to that too!
Youngsters today have no idea how great our music was 😊
Fond memories of them playing at a Sheffield U Students Union dance in 1964 when I was there . Everyone stopped dancing to listen and they sang Needles and Pins 3 times in a row.
@@AaronParasmo This was when the top groups toured and the Students Unions with their facilities and no overheads where the only ones that could afford them My wife when she was 17 at a Saturday night dances at Doncaster Tech twice danced to the Beatles before they became famous , Walking home with her friend their tour mini bus stopped and chatted her up . But she knew their was someone better than Paul and John waiting for her in the future!!
Omg i was in love with Mick hope hes well after all these years.❤❤❤
Hello Stella how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
Fantastic record.👍🇬🇧
At 67 I just missed out but boy what a time to be alive again. Paul from Birmingham England
The greatests!
This seems so much more "real" to me than the plastic, inauthentic culture and world we live in now.
I was Ten years old going on 16 lol had my little transistor radio listening to the best music ever made “oh the memories” ❤️
This was actually on my 10th birthday April 5 1964!
i was 14 loving the British Music and this was definitely a favorite and still on my playlist today! What a lucky generation we were
Why didn't the American public send this song to number one? What's their excuse?
It was an American song originally written by Sonny Bono and recorded by Jackie Deshannon.
Oh yes!!! The Ed Sullivan Show was the hip 60s show that had everyone from The Beatles to Elvis to The Doors and every freaking British Invasion band like these incredible guys!! The 60s forever!!!
If there not in the rock and roll hall of fame they should be
I searched for them and their not.
They had such class back then suits and ties and everything u rarely see this from todays preformers
Good golden oldie
Чудова пісня!Скільки разів переспівана іншими виконавцями і завжди по-своєму чудово!Дякую!
