He was so charming and real. And he showed vulnerability, which is endearing in my opinion. He had no showbiz guile, was straight-up and always respected his audience. He gave 150%.
Shawni Ysais that’s very perceptive snd so true.
Great memories of these shows and songs. Loved Del and all his songs. Sorry for how he felt and what happened. He may be gone but not forgotten for sure
Del's wife Bonnie said that since Del started taking meds for his depression seemed he got worse. He had constantly complained he didn't feel well. Dan Bourgeois his manager wanted to send him on tour . Because his manager asked him what was wrong and Del said that everything was wrong. Wasn't anyone concerned about the man's well being ? Whatever happened they should've encouraged the man to see the Doctor. But his wife sued the Pharmaceutical company after Del's death . He may be gone but not forgotten .
I almost feel that if Del could have had more contact with Dick Clark, later in his life, he might still be here...still rockin’!!!
It was the meds I know , I have the same thing happen before damn it . DennisTaylor76 because I didn’t take them, I know!
Never to.be forgotten the great Del Shannon.
Say what you want about Clark but he always acknowledged the supporting players.
Del was one of the best he had one great voice and put feeling in his music I wish he was still around singing or not just as a nice person
Great song, and entertainer.
One of my favorites.
He was humble and simple because Del always cared for his fans. Mainly that was his No 1 concern . The " Drop Down Me And Get Me " LP is a great song album but it's available on CD . It's worth listening to because Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are his back up band on that album.
That's the most relaxed del Shannon that I've ever seen ,I love his live l.p. In manchester at the princess club .
Del Shannon Forever
Del was almost in the Traveling Wilburys with Tom Petty but Del took his own life 2 months before the Wilburys recorded their second and final album. They recorded a cover of Runaway, which was sung by Jeff Lynne, who produced Del's final album.
I am sorry but that statement about joining the Wilburys is simply not true. It was never going to happen even if he lived. Try a certain tablet for the reason. His wife left him at home to go shopping and came back and saw what had happened. I was in touch with his wife (Lee)after the shooting and she still to this day blames the drug.
@@happyolddude what drug?
@@Trentonpage Starts with P
@@happyolddude pills?
@@Trentonpage ...prozac
Its cool how many people Dick interviewed and cool how every band on this show all play thru the same bass amps every show 😂
Very sad that Del was dead nine years after this performance.
Sad that he gave up after being such a hit in the 60s. Suicide is never an answer. RIP
Unfortunately it is for many people sspecially those w untreatable depression
The late Howie Epstein of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers on bass.
Howie had a rough time himself w heroin use. He died young too
Howie is so handsome.
The first time I saw Howie with Petty and the Heartbreakers he was clean. The next time he was obviously on heroin. And dead not long after.
@@georgefelton669 unfortunately Howie was never clean. There are multiple interviews with various band members who say he had problems from the get go. Still such a travesty.
The answer sung by del shannon
They kinda glanced over Howie Epstein a star in his own right. Howie would go on to become a producer in later years for. John Prine and arlene Carter. Reviving both their careers. He also played with Petty a number of years before he had to drop out for "personal reasons" He died recently I understand. A great talent. He was only 47. Too young.
Howie died from consequences of his long time heroin use
Howie died in Feb 2003.
A number of years? Two decades! Even if he wasn't an original member of the Heartbreakers, he sure made his presence known in the music. Fuck drugs. This guy could've made so much more amazing music. RIP
DEL The best ever !...............Ken (UK).
❤
Terrific guy too bad someone couldn’t have helped him to get help
Why dhe have to kill himself. He was a fantastic singer.. 😪😪😪😥💗
Beverly Koon cause Tom Petty stole Howie lmao
His wife said it was because of the anti depressant he was prescribed - she sued with the drug manufacturer and it was settled out of court.
Beverly Koon Prozac!
@@ponekingpetch3595 Wouldn't he have done it anyway? Prozac is still on the market.
Are those sunn amps?
his final tour ofaustralia he was chain smoking i got a autograph
A rock star smoking cigs? Oh no
It’s great to see a young Howie Epstein.
Del & Howie both died before their time.
what year though
What a loss.
would rather have heard the music than all of that blahblahblah
