This is a great little rare gem from sha na na. Thanks for sharing. By the way this was my pet bird's favorite song he would chirp really loud and dance back and forth on this perch Haha
This is just fun. Someone told me that they went to a Sha Na Na concert and at one point, they were going into the audience and brought women up to the stage for a twist contest.
Mr. Bowser is exactly correct. There's an elemental simplicity to these tunes that speaks to a deep place in our hearts and in our yearnings. And also, the visual element of ShaNaNa is always a breath of fresh air that made their shows so wonderful. This clip is a great example.
I like the way all of this old footage is suddenly appearing on the net. I agree with Cheryl and her remark about the way Johnny sings this song. Can't get past the sideburns, though. Thanks for posting, it was interesting to watch!
Love this clip! Interesting to hear Johnny using a different, softer tone in his voice on this rendition than his other versions. I do miss his adorable little salute, though... :)
@@archienicol1402 Yes. The Night Is Still Young. he sang it then but they also played it differently then they do live. they kinda injected some original-ness to the version on The Night Is Still Young
Wonder if it was Sha Na Na that inspired Showaddywaddy's management and record label to nudge that band to "go oldies covers," given Sha Na Na's presence in the UK by the interview with Bowzer, Jocko and Santini (who was already balding by the time their syndicated TV show got started) and concert appearances in Odeons such as Birmingham and presumably Hammersmith. Interesting that of those three, only Jocko is with Sha Na Na today (Donny York still is, as is non-original member 'Screamin' Scott' Simon who joined the year after the Woodstock show).
Jocko! and yeah they were. Jocko was actually the youngest performer at woodstock. for some reason many sources claim it was Michael Shrieve (he was 20), Henry Gross (Sha Na Na's first lead guitarist who was gone by the time of this performance) and Jocko were both 18 (Jocko being youngest)
@@napwneoenejeod3740 wow, you implant a quest for their birth dates as a private quest for me. I've no definite opinion, but I probably ought to have one!
@@donnyyork2149 Great to see you still posting Donny, Just been listening to Life Is Short and feeling a bit teary eyed now. You guys had a real impact on my life Many thanks.
They put on a great show. Once seen never forgotten. I still smile every time I remember a magic night at the Birmingham Odeon.
every now and then a little gem appears re Sha Na Na on you tube-this is it.
Fantastico great to see this film I remember a clip of Sha Na Na doing Silhouettes was shown on Whistle Test back in1972

I thought the sideburns were too bushy and needed a trim, but I still love Johnny's singing voice!
Hi guys I just missing you guys away in my heart 💖❤️ kiss you lips

On the original 1972 album, I think Jocko sung lead. I have it on vinyl....somewhere?

Johnny is STILL singing today, and I still love it now as much as I did back then!
Bowzer is boss!
Bowzer is the boss of the bass voice!
There's several comments that Lisa Koffler hasn't commented on in this video~ #Nice

I can't believe Jocko smoked during the interview! I was told it's bad manners to do that!
@@LisaKoffler I think it's because he was being "tough."
TikiKrissy, I think he just wanted to "look" tough! It's just an act! Underneath, he's a sweetheart, just like all the others!
@@LisaKoffler Fun fact: Jocko's sister is a Benedictine nun with a doctorate in microbiology and she's an expert on cheeses!
YES! I looked her up, and she's a year younger than Jocko, and she's known as "The Cheese Nun!"
Cat with the mustache (who looks a little like a young Captain Quint) is SO STONED. As they reportedly were at Woodstock by the time they went on.

Donny, you're a Pisces, which makes you more sensitive when it comes to having feelings. I'm your opposite, Virgo, and I'm a dreamer myself!
EVERYBODY was stoned at Woodstock I think, either directly or indirectly.
I enjoyed watching Johnny jump off one of the stage blocks! If he and Bowzer asked me to join them on one of their sea cruises, I'd do it!
Hi johnny I need you guys 😜 baby
