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.
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 🙏🙏♥️
I'm 79 years young. Born in Netherlands. But living in Thailand. Every day I listen to my old TH-cam music. Music from the sixties and seventies. The best there's
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.
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 !
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.
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.
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.
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
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.......!!
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.
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. :(
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
Hello my friends! I'm 77 , but we are in the midst of "youth", Because American poet Samuel Ullman said " Youth is not time of life, It's a state of mind" So let's all go well ! From Japan
we were 14/15 saw them in GLASGOW.brilliant,the originals.With Ike and Tina Turner, the BEATLES.it was never seen before.1965{??}we are now still together.(both 75 yrs,(im 2 Mths. her toyboy.).some say what.i say it was them learning about life tooo.sorry to bore u all.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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 .
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.
This is such an elegant, classy thing for them to do,...45 years later... to just 'walk into the room' and play this clean and fresh. Unbelievable. They're not the only guys to recreate their early hits, but this stuff isn't easy, folks...
Kevin, one of the really great things about TH-cam;...it will play whichever version of this you have a taste for, including ABBA's, Jackie DeShannon, and even Bruce Springsteen, if you have that feature...
William Nelson They sound better actually, don't they? Sadly, they are not the original line-up. Chris Curtis and Tony Jackson are dead and Mike Pender? has his own Searchers. Still, John McNally (I think), the absolute original is still there and Frank Allen. The new, new boy can rival the original voices so it works. I heard them live recently and they give a good show. They no longer have the girls screaming and throwing their knickers at them so they have had to polish up their professionalism.
una mckillen and now they use a 12-string to get that sound. Great job. I thought they were the origionals, except for the drummer. Shows how wrong I can be. Chris and Tony dead? Wow, so many of the British invasion guys are dying or already gone. Its enough to bring a tear.
Me too best of times, so glad l was there too. Wouldn’t swap my age for the world . There’s been nothing like it since another universe another world . ♥️💫🎉
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 saw them in Perth, Western Australia, in 1973 at a nightclub called "Gobbles". Wow, almost 50 years ago! Black suits, white shirt and thin black ties - just as they were when they had their first hit "Sweets for Sweet" in 1963.
Konnte die in den sechziger Jahren einmal "LIFE" erleben. Das war damals eine Sensation. Die haben ein schöne Musik gemacht, die man auch heute noch sehr gerne hört. Habe so einige CD´s von denen. Kann man mit der heutigen Musik nicht mehr vergleichen. Oldies sind halt Oldies.
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!
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.
I could have done without my Vietnam tour, LOL
Songs like this never. Get old
Ian 83 but I would give anything for a trip back to the 60s and 70s the greatest music ever

Let go back there @@joanwalker3855
..and know what we now now 😂
Another child of the sixties here and damn glad That I grew up listening to some of the best bands and songs ever recorded ..
I was a 60s teenager, it was the best era for music. Love this song.
Best years
Loved the searchers!!
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.
@@sheilabatey492 Me too, if you include 13 years as a teenager, then I am a 50's teenager. Great times, great music. UK,
They still sound as good as before. Love this song. I feel like this music keeps us all young always. Thanks gentlemen.
Born in 1949 but oh my takes me back to my youth , happy times
Me too, just played their vinyl album the other day.
Best time to grow up, ever. I was right there with you. It's been quite a ride, hasn't it?
@@mrjuvy49and me . I’ve got the earphones on the iPad full volume. I’m back there
I am old now, and in ill health! But I am a child of the sixties... and by God! I am glad that I was there!

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.
So glad I grew up in the 60's....best music...ever😊
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
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....
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
I'm 79 years young. Born in Netherlands. But living in Thailand. Every day I listen to my old TH-cam music. Music from the sixties and seventies. The best there's

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.

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!!😊🎶
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 !

Wonderful years, wonderfull sounds and wonderful radio london 266
Just right, thanx for your comment
@@vesnapejcinovic2409 pure delight
Agreed! 😊
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.😢
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.
Love this song. Reminds me of the special people who came in a room all gone now but in our ❤
Born in 1941 till er Wat great time is gary cowell in thi band.s
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.

same old magic that first love
IT WAS SO SIMPLE THEN RESPECT FEELING LOVE
Totally agree with this comment Douglas❤
Such a beautiful song! Love the Searchers' version and it's so nice to see them still performing!
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.
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.

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.
Much love……I have been there too and I feel your pain ❤
Im in love ...wow am i glad i was there 1st time this song is for all of you 60 s people ❤❤❤
Heartbreak...🥲
These guys are a american or from the UK?

This is what you call music.
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
Just enjoy your music no need to mention anything else.
I did the same such memories
They are great in concert love this song
Suited and booted good days
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
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
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 .
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 :-)
agree 100%, they are all commercial shits nowadays. KInks, Who, Pacemakers, on & on etc etc.
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
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..
This song was on the juke box when my future wife walk in the Oak Inn in Chesterfield UK happy days
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!

YEAH!!
Songs like this never grow old they never get tired they just become timeless pieces of music.
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
The sixties the best decade for music you understood, and loved, still love ❤❤❤❤
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.😎👗👠💄🎶
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.
We listen to this, and for a few minutes we're not old anymore.
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.
Wow, sounds as good as the first time I heard it way back in the 60s
Let's not forget that Jackie Deshannon wrote this masterpiece,never got her due to early much to talented for a woman in the early sixties.
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.
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.
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
Hello my friends! I'm 77 , but we are in the midst of "youth",
Because American poet Samuel Ullman said " Youth is not time of life, It's a state of mind"
So let's all go well !
From Japan
I'm 86 and still listening in October 2024 😊❤
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 you all from 1966 I was 15 love you guys now i now 70 THANK YOU THANK YOU GOD BLESS
Searchers I love you all music fantastic I still love to hear your music all the from Ireland. Kath🤢
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 👍
THESE GOOD TIMES WILL NEVER COME AROUND AGAIN SO GLAD I LIVED THROUGH THE SIXTIES
brilliant group great songs
John, so glad you weren’t like Daddy Cool who got stoned and missed it! I love this song too. X
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'm 71 and we had the best!
Such a great song, ty Jackie Deshannon
i am 75 yrs old now and that music is wakes me up to the best years of my life hot cars girls and beer
Yep, hot cars and girls, but the beer ( bitter ) had to be at room temperature.😏🇬🇧
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.
we were 14/15 saw them in GLASGOW.brilliant,the originals.With Ike and Tina Turner, the BEATLES.it was never seen before.1965{??}we are now still together.(both 75 yrs,(im 2 Mths. her toyboy.).some say what.i say it was them learning about life tooo.sorry to bore u all.
after all these years the sound is amazing , could listen to this all day
So am I there will never be another time for music I am 82 now I just love listening to the music 😀
Loved the 60s music,I still live in the past with the music,watch them on TH-cam every day.
Ever so smart men back then.
This song takes me back to the 60's. God I miss those days.
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??

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.
I saw The Searchers on a Forces show on the outskirts of Belfast. Frankie compared the show, Pans People? A girl singer? Anyone fill in gaps?
Travelled from New Zealand to Melbourn,too see them ,thanks o our Daughter,who knew we were fans from the 60s
I am so grateful I got to see these guys live in 2023. I adore their music. A nearly 70 year career.
Im old as well grew up in 50\60s didn't have much but the music ❤
YOU WON'T GET THE 60'S BACK...ONLY TRIBUTE BANDS WHO ARE BRILLANT LOVE YOU ALL...

Showing the young pretenders how it's done,absolutely nailed on,
12/23/23: The Searchers are still one of the best groups, at least to me. Merry Christmas for you all
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.

1952 here and you guys are right on the money. Not just Beatles and Stones but so many more. Such great music!
This song will never die so brilliant, Canny beat 60s no music like Searchers. Xx
It’s a time warp that’s a circle that goes round and round ... priceless being part of that era 🤗
I saw this clip for the first time tonight. After all these years they still sound good.
Will we listening to todays music in 40 years? Don’t think so
This is such an elegant, classy thing for them to do,...45 years later... to just 'walk into the room' and play this clean and fresh. Unbelievable.
They're not the only guys to recreate their early hits, but this stuff isn't easy, folks...
William Nelson Wow! How good do they still sound.As good as the original.Looks like the same line up except the drummer.Great memories.
Kevin, one of the really great things about TH-cam;...it will play whichever version of this you have a taste for, including ABBA's, Jackie DeShannon, and even Bruce Springsteen, if you have that feature...
William Nelson They sound better actually, don't they? Sadly, they are not the original line-up. Chris Curtis and Tony Jackson are dead and Mike Pender? has his own Searchers. Still, John McNally (I think), the absolute original is still there and Frank Allen. The new, new boy can rival the original voices so it works. I heard them live recently and they give a good show. They no longer have the girls screaming and throwing their knickers at them so they have had to polish up their professionalism.
What a great song and so fun to listen to, thank you :-)
una mckillen and now they use a 12-string to get that sound. Great job. I thought they were the origionals, except for the drummer. Shows how wrong I can be. Chris and Tony dead? Wow, so many of the British invasion guys are dying or already gone. Its enough to bring a tear.
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
one of the best groups in the 60th and their music is still green
Im 32 and this sangs a belter.
Me too best of times, so glad l was there too. Wouldn’t swap my age for the world . There’s been nothing like it since another universe another world . ♥️💫🎉
I really cherished the era of the 60s . This. era brought good memories of the golden past .
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 saw them in Perth, Western Australia, in 1973 at a nightclub called "Gobbles". Wow, almost 50 years ago! Black suits, white shirt and thin black ties - just as they were when they had their first hit "Sweets for Sweet" in 1963.
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
Another wee night out but always love coming home to this, brilliant song will never die xx
Love this song😊
Konnte die in den sechziger Jahren einmal "LIFE" erleben.
Das war damals eine Sensation.
Die haben ein schöne Musik gemacht, die man auch heute
noch sehr gerne hört. Habe so einige CD´s von denen.
Kann man mit der heutigen Musik nicht mehr vergleichen.
Oldies sind halt Oldies.
One of my favorite groups from 60s still listening 2020 .
My first memory of this group was back in 62 on a beach in Aden.
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!
