Yup. And I'm an 80s baby. Barely pushing 40. My late grandmother introduced me to this song. Dancing in her kitchen with her as she cooked breakfast! Miss those days.
I'm a generation after you but love the 60's music that I remember, being played, in the hollows of my mind. Was Mac's on M St. or Wisconsin? My stompin grounds in the early 80's

I think there ain't none other song so perfectly done to clear away things. Incredible what humans can do with instruments, voice and most of all, SOUL !
this video is from 31 january 1966, it is with another formation, if you look closely, the keyboard player that appears here (ray elliot) did not record the original version in 1964, he entered it at the end of 1965
I love the angst of Van Morrison singing voice. Priceless 60s Music. I'm a 60s baby born in '68. When I was yet unborn my mom who was a music lover listens to the music of those days frequently. When I was born from toddler to adulthood I was perplexed why I like 60s music more than any current pop music while growing up. I truly love all genre of music from the '60s. Weird eh?
Not really. I did see these guys at the local provincial Working Men's Club on their Sunday night dancehall event. How this group and many many other class acts turned out to events actually run by a Working Men's Club speaks wonders for the times we lived in, the mid sixties. Incidentally the Club has now been converted to flats.
Going back a looong time but when I was in 7th grade in OHenry Jr. High in Austin, TX, the very last day of school, 1965, they let a band set up in the cafeteria before school. I remember it was the first time I ever heard a live rock band play and this is the song I remember. It was awesome!!
congrats pal 4 all of you, had that lucky times, never forget it, cuz that times made the persons we r now. and we have the mission to give that legacy to the youth.
I noticed the drummer was playing para-diddles to end the song. Earlier versions of the song did not have the drummer doing that. The Shadow's Of Night a local Chicago band in the 60's helped popularize their version of Gloria. They recorded a lyric revised version of Gloria which enabled the song to be played on local radio stations. Many HS garage bands mimicked their version of Gloria and not Van Morrison's version.
Van Morrison wasn't yet 'the' Van Morrison in those days but just one of the guys in that group, the lead singer in the Belfast rhythm and blues band...! 🕵🏻🎶😃👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
@@alanlake4614 But not very many realised his greatness in those early days, he was just a lead singer in Them, the great band of course but just one of the great bands in those days. And the songs they played were mostly covers added some fine Van's own numbers. And that was just the beginning of his long career in artistic music business... 🕵🏻🎶❤️🎶🔥🎶🙂👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
This flickering video reminds me of the flickering video made by wang chung everybody have fun tonight. You know the vocalist and his band flickering all over the place.
I call Van Morrison"White Irish Soul", this was only the beginning of his long career as a singer/songwriter with many great songs along the way.Gloria has been covered by the Doors,Jimi Hendrix & Patti Smith to name a few.
Eugene,the song “Gloria” by Jimi Hendrix was only released in Germany as a single at the time. I had bought an import LP collection on Warner Brothers Germany of live Jimi Hendrix which included”Gloria” and explained this in the liner notes.
Such a great song. This is an Irish band, and they released this when the Bestles had released I Feel Fine. They were ahead of the Beatles at that time.
Wow! Just finished watching The Outsiders Film. Never knew who sang this magnificent song. Got Curious about it and ended up here. Excellent Song to an Excellent Film. Fits right in.
Ya casi 1 año desde que la empeze a escuchar, me acuerdo cuando el año pasado antes de la pandemia la escuchaba todos los dias en la mañana antes de ir al colegio, y ya casi 1 año despues aun me sigo preguntando porque chucha sale una mula o un caballo xd
y no me digas que no te sentias inyectado para lo que viniera, esta cancion es un empje de adrenalina brutal, mas si vas de camino al trabajo., o la escuela.
I was 14 when this came out, had on the Here Comes the Night album. I was angry that the ones who had it hit with it were the anemic Shadows of the Night crapola band. My little rock group played this because it was a) 3 chords easy b) same progression as The Last Time c) essentially same lead for both songs and d) tune. The first side of that Them album was a 9.9 every song superb
I recall the s**tstorm this song created with it's controversial lyrics, 'she comes around about midnight'. We were back from Idaho, in our home state of California when this song came out. It was banned in Boston as I recall, but has since become a sort of anthem for my life!! Not sure what that means....
Van Morrison is one of a kind. My name is Gloria; this is my favorite one of the multitude of Glorias out there done by others. Ireland’s gift.
Agreed…..best ‘Gloria’ rendition ever!
G….L….O…..R…..iiiiiiiiiiiii……..A!!!!!!!!!
From Ghana?
@@KurtHandlbauer-ho7jt Ghana 312 is one of my dogs and her birthday. She’s a former racing Greyhound. 💕
1964? Unbelievable! Still it could wind up! Eternal music!
Indeed so básic and so sticky to our soul
Song is glorious ,but it' s what Van adds to it with that unique voice..hard to say what, but absolutely mesmerising.
I would like to come back in 1964
Reminds me of Friday night dances at the local ‘Y’ in Alex.Va. !! Doesn’t anyone dance anymore??
Yup. And I'm an 80s baby. Barely pushing 40. My late grandmother introduced me to this song. Dancing in her kitchen with her as she cooked breakfast! Miss those days.
One of the best songs ever.
This song was the base for other performers like Lipstick sung by Suzie Quatro and others, usin and abusin this rithm style
@Perry Jacob. You speak truth, my man. Love and peace 💛🌻
And the worst videos. ouch.
I remember when it came out....still, good shit.
Young Van..astounding ..what a voice..but has not worn well.
This song is timeless.
My all-time favorite song. The crystal clear tone of that guitar playing E, D, and A is hypnotic and never get old... only better.
Best band ever from Northern Ireland.
Originally it was their first hit, a small one in 1964, but became a smash hit in 1966 as one of their last ones with Van Morisson.
Indeed, and was a basic theme for a infinite quantity of new riffs
The band played about 300 times that song in Irish clubs before getting famous
Van the man! I loved how they used this song in The Outsiders movie.
Dancing to this song at Mac's in Georgetown in the Summer of 1964 was awesome. The Best Ever. A packed house every weekend.
I'm a generation after you but love the 60's music that I remember, being played, in the hollows of my mind. Was Mac's on M St. or Wisconsin?
My stompin grounds in the early 80's
I wore my 45rpm single out listening to this. Magic.
I was 19 at the time. Great song. I was on drugs at the time. The Doors and Shodows of Night are the bomb.

This may very well be My all time favorite song
Great music never fade no matter how many years😃👍✨🎤💙🎸🎼🥁🎶🎵📽️📼✨
A Song written For The Next 100 Years A Classic
Indeed a must to hear it 4 all times
This song comes around here.
Van has now been a musical genius for over five decades.....
All they were a genius as a band, special mention to the drummer, who guide all flawless. Van Morrison is another story...
Goat status
Just learned this sick guitar riff today. Brilliant!!
I think there ain't none other song so perfectly done to clear away things. Incredible what humans can do with instruments, voice and most of all, SOUL !
First song to learn on electric guitar in the mid 60's
Aah the year that woke me up musically-at 14 -everything changed -for the better-still listen to THEM and many more from this era -Thankyou 🎶🕊
One of my all time inspiring songs🤘🏼💗🧚♀️Thank you Van Morison, thank you THEM🎸🎤🎸🎤🎸🎤🥁
This must be the earliest video of Van Morrison performing. Grainy though it is, it’s great to see..
G L O R I A ‼️
indeed, still rules
@@merlinelmaje Do you know what kind of guitar the guitarist is playing?
@@QueenFan12 dunno pal, is like a Les Paul, i dont wanna lie to you, but sound is wonderful.

Great song!! I just remember this song on the movie The Outsiders, way before my time.
Me too. On their way to the rumble
First time I heard this tune was in the movie too

interesting date and song version pal, let me check that remarks, thanks
It’s always been in studio versions
Van Morrison played 1 week after I was in Vegas to see Elton John. I wanted to see him, too.
take that chance to make it real, cuz don´t know what could happen, with our aged favorite bands today, its necessarily so.
Súper súper súper clásico. De los mejores de los 60’
Van the man at his best
Kicking ❤️

You r right, even Gloria theme was inspired by songs like Lipstick, sung by Suzi Quatro, It Is like a Gloria's clone.
I got the the Jimi Hendrix song G L O R I A, hard to find .
Eugene,the song “Gloria” by Jimi Hendrix was only released in Germany as a single at the time. I had bought an import LP collection on Warner Brothers Germany of live Jimi Hendrix which included”Gloria” and explained this in the liner notes.
Thank you for the info, The COBRA
I called him the Irish Blues Brother. Long after the fact of course.
I like how the guitarists are not fancy like Arosmith and other bands yet they are much more talented
Awesome song!!
Such a great song. This is an Irish band, and they released this when the Bestles had released I Feel Fine. They were ahead of the Beatles at that time.
okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
I like that he sings with his eyes closed
Van the Man!
Van. Morrsion! MaN had a few G. L. O. R. I A / S. My. Self😘
One of a kind song. thank you.
Yeah indeed
Esta rolita de them es un claro ejemplo de que la musica perfectamente lograda puede ser una explosion comtinua de orgasmos. Rola inmortal.
