Absolutely love the shadows the most beautiful beautiful music, I've loved them ever since I was little & I am now 67 & I still love hearing them just beautiful. ❤♥️❤♥️

I love it. These old guys have been doing this for about 60 years. They're famous. They dont need the money. THEY PLAY BECAUSE THEY LOVE TO! That is a Musician.
Been a Shadows since 14 years old now 76 never tire of their music met Bruce face to face when I was a page boy in Caledonian Hotel Edinburgh couldn’t speak remember he wore leather jeans in 1961!!
People very often praise guitarists like Clapton, Page, Jimi Hendrix, to mention but a few, but Hank Marvin is hardly ever mentioned , but he is a really fine and very talented guitarist in his own right.
that's only because he is different his style is more based on melody then soloing or scale running. his guitar is the singer basically. hank marvin the first guitar hero. my hat goes off to this man and the band. I am a street performer and I play there music and I just started a shadows band aswell. it is real music, music that makes people happy.
@@dionermen842 Best of luck to you and your band mate!![...in the 60's a band was exactly that.... a band.... ...brass!!...we were called "Pop Groups" "Rhythm Groups" "Rock Groups".."Rhythm n' Blues Groups"...but NOT BANDS!]..times change,but I am pleased there are people like you Dion,who still carry on the love of the Shads to the people on the street!
@@mickbright8454 My brother was born with Spina Bifida and was unable to play sports. So he bought a guitar and taught himself to play all the shadows tracks. He and his wife went to more than a hundred of the Shadows' shows and were invited backstage to meet them. Bruce Welch also visited them at their home in Uxbridge in London. He turned up in his huge Mercedes and almost took out the gate post. My brother would have turned 78 this month but he passed away six years ago. I'm glad to see that you are still playing the Shadows' music.

Well, I gave this a BIG THUMBS UP, because I'm a child of the 60's growing up with this stuff. This music is what started the big change in music from what it was and post war and into the 50's. A change that was only going to grow from here; And it did! We have 15 times more thumbs up than thumbs down. I THINK it's because the thumbs up people are like me and totally appreciate where this music came from. The Thumbs down people, I'm sure are music loving guys and gals but they're from a different era and they don't fully understand the evolution of music like the Shadows began and what grew from here. The thumbs up guys and gals are the lucky ones because we lived these times and loved every minute of it. My view, I've lived and loved every minute...Thanks to The Shadows.
bil haley started the change in music in the 1940's. His 1st record came out in 1943 and is considered the 1st rock'n'roll record ever made. It was a mix of the big band sound and country music that became known in the 50's as rock'n'roll. Rockabilly started in the mid 50's and is often mistaken for rock'n'roll as its simular but based on country and blues mixed together which is what Elvis actualy recorded. All of Elvis early stuff was rockabilly not rock'n'roll. The shads started out as the drifters in the mid 1950's and were a vocal group not instramental. They became the backing group to cliff richard. His 1st record has cliff and the drifters on the lable but as a US group was called the drifters they had to change their name to the shadows a name they came up with outside a pub when they were trying to think up a new name. They were sat in the shadow of a tree which is where they got the name from. They were already a big name before they became know as the shadows in the UK doing live concerts but not making records. They became more famous as the backing group for cliff richard and thats when they got a record contract for themselves. On some of their albums they have got recordings of them singing as well as playing. mary anne, and dont make my baby blue, being 2 of them.
The younger generation doesn’t understand what a musical instrument is , that’s what the problem is. They think it comes out of a computer. They also don’t realise how long it takes in time and practice to master these instruments. I think it’s called ignorance. Sorry to be so blunt but that’s it.
I grew up with this music. My dad played all of The Shadows music as a guitarist. I learnt all drumming techniques thanks to this group. Also listened to The Ventures, but my ultimate was The Shadows.
I grew up in the USA with music by the Ventures as well, but when I came to Germany in '61 and first heard the Shadows that was it, I was in the club. A genial group with genial music.
I will be 77 this year...but when i hear this great music from the Shadows it takes me straight back to when i was 15........and the wonderful memories i have of that era..........

of course. Me too. Same age. We had a band with self-made electric guitars and valve amplifiers during teenage days. Those were the days of Shadows, Ventures, Beatles....Nostalgia!
Tenho 73 anos, comecei a ouvir e dançar estas musicas com a minha miúda, namorada e actual mulher e já passaram mais de 50 anos de casados, nunca me canso de os ouvir, estes velhotes acompanharam-me durante toda a minha vida.
The older you get the better you get. Thank you shadows you just brought Cliff Richard and my youth days back. I feel young again. Love from Mauritius.
Im nearly 60 and I have never seen this guy miss a note. I have heard it said that simple bright clean music is the very hardest to do as there Nowhere to hide. Shadows music is the epitome of this. Im glad you guys made a bunch of cash using hard work dedication and skill enriching the lives of millions for decades.
It is NOT just "classical music". :) We were all taught in music school the development of musicianship, that is being able to play "musically" is developed first and foremost, through being able to play a single line melody with as much grace as a singer would sing it. Especially with slower tunes, ballades, etc. Classical and jazz guitarists learn this "the hard way". :) There is no disputing that what Hank plays is technically simple and easy to learn. But from the original recordings 60 years ago, to ALL of the films on YT in which he plays these pieces....he NEVER deviates from what he has done and always plays these songs the same way - -and with absolute precision. You are correct....people do not comprehend how good someone has to be to be THAT "consistent". Excellent observation. :)

I've always loved listening to the Shadows instrumental music. And I'm totally impressed by the fans in attendance, and the respect, and staying silent while the songs were played in their entirety.
à "douglashall2141" après l'âge canonique de nos rock😃 stars sur scène qui dansent très prudemment😁 il est essentiel de remarquer un public nombreux, assis sagement, et aussi d'un certain âge😂🙂
Started listening to the Shadows in early 1960's.and 60 years later they're still as good as ever.No band has stood the test of time like they have.Magnificent! So many great memories of my youth,🙂
Wow! I have just watched this again and it has taken me back to when I was a sixteen year old boy entrant in the RAF and was entranced by Apache and FBI. I am now 72 and still love the music because it is timeless. Bought myself a Fender Stratocaster when I was 70!!

My late father was a Shadows fan, and I grew up with them too, every cassette in the glovebox was the Shadows, he had a white and red strat, he always played the Shadows tunes. Its now mine, maybe I should try and learn to play. It’s been 4 years since he left us, had Wonderful land and the Deerhunter played at the funeral. Miss him every second of everyday but listening to this today has helped. Still tears but tears of joy. Love the Shadows.
Cassettes - ah, those were the days! Rewind them too much to keep listening to your favourite track and you ended up with a chewed up mass of useless magnetic tape! LOL My advice? Get that guitar tuned up and start tinkering with it, learn to play it if you can. But whatever you do, enjoy it and keep on remembering your late father. :-)
Same here my Dad had all of their 45s grew up with them now in the morning I ask Alexa to play their playlist sets me up for the day brilliant memories ❤️🇬🇧
Absolutely magnificent, they have got to be one of the greatest bands of all time. Loved them when I was a young boy and they still send shivers down my spine, bring back the 50's 60's music today's music is second rate.
Música muy limpia , transparente que hace recordar personas , lugares , mi esposo cuando éramos muy jóvenes ( aproximadamente 50 años ) compro un dísco pero no eran : las sombras ,quienes tocaban se llamaban los Indios Tabajaras, y si eran como indios pero no recuerdo si eran de la selva de Brazil o por ahí en un país ,de Sudamérica ellos encontraron un avión caído entre la selva entre lo que encontraron fueron unas guitarras , un Radio y así fue como ellos escucharon la música con guitarras y aprendieron a tocar solos sin que nadie les diera lecciones de guitarra , alguien , algún turista los escucho , la portada del disco que teníamos estaban ellos ataviados con vestimentas y maquillados tal como era su Comunidad Indígena
Tình yêu của tôi dành cho ban The Shadows vẫn nguyên vẹn như thuở ban đầu vào đầu thập niên 60. Tôi nay đã qua tuổi "...thất thập cổ lai hy." nhưng mỗi khi nghe lại ban nhạc The Shadows trình diễn tôi thấy như mình trở về thơ ấu của mình vậy. Mỗi khi tôi muốn trở về tuổi thơ của mình thì tôi vào TH-cam và tìm đến ban The Shadows. You're the best ! I'll never forget you.

Who else on here loves to hear the sound coming from a Fender Stratocaster? Can’t beat its clarity! Fender forever! Thank you The Shadows🙏 A fanboy from New Zealand 🇳🇿
I heard that even Princess Margareth of the royal kingdom was fan of the shadows in the sixties. No wonder, she hat good taste and so she was fond of them. Bravo Hank Marvin and musicians, even Ben Marvin. You and your music are great. What a treat for us.
I can’t imagine any rock band today with the talent to have a concert playing entirely instrumental music. This band is a real gift. Simply amazing!!! 👍👍👍
The Shadows' sound is impeccable. They are all superb musicians and Hank Marvin has defined their sound with his use of the tremolo constantly in his right hand as he plucks the guitar strings. So perfectly clear and artful. He is wonderfully supported by the precision of the others. This band is all about precision timing. Brilliant.
How's it possible that this music still sounds so good after all this time? I'm pleased that the large audience tells me that I'm not alone in my love of The Shadows.
Wow, so many memories of my younger years, I actually love and appreciate them more now as I realise what great musicians they are, only improving (if that's possible) with age and experience. I saw them live (with Cliff) at the London Palladium in the early 60s, my first time at a theatrical musical performance and was blown away. I would go anytime to see them live again, if they still perform.
thank you for great memories.... I have the music since the beginning... and still today in my 70's I love to listen! It lifts me up ... always. Thank you for such great music one truly can get lost in it!
Man that old Strat sure sounds great. Great job. Thanks for reminding us older folks what we been missing. Love it. One of the greatest groups ever. Love you all! God Bless you always!

These guys were ground breakers. Leaders in the great variety of popular music That signified the late 50's and beyond. My love for The Shadows is deep and true. Masters of The Game.
The group is fantastic as a whole, but Hank Marvin is truly a guitar genius....he takes guitar playing to another level and makes it look effortless. His smiles and the look of joy on his face make it obvious he loves what does. He is a treat to our ears.
I am 70 now. Loved them when I was 15. And I loved them still. Hank looks better now and is incredibly good now as before. Thank you H ank and Bruce and Brian . You make my day.
When I first heard The Shadows in 1959 I had just started senior school and I was hooked on that special sound and as I get into my dotage my love for The Shadows is still there it has never waned God Bless Them for giving me and so many others over the years so much pleasure.
I'm 30 and have just listened to 26 minutes of pure Guitar gold. Lots of people my age (and younger) are rediscovering this great music as a replacement for the commercial stuff produced now!
Lee Lacey Fully support that..100% Despite my previous neg. comnents. I never criticised the band nor their music, only the idiots making comparative, 'best in the world' comments.
These incredibly talented musicians are still at the top of their game and still seem to be enjoying playing together as much as they ever did. They don't come any better than The Shadows. There'll never be another band like them.
Viejo el sol, y nos calienta Vieja la luna y nos alumbra Viejo el aire y nos sopla Vieja la tierra y nos da vida. Escuche esta reflexión y me gustó. Adultos los músicos y nos alegra unos minutos la vida. Mi humilde opinión.
That was tremendous. The Shadows will always be known as the best of the best entertainers to this day. Thank you for sharing and for the wonderful memories.
From Italy: In the 60s I learned to play the guitar, both solo and rhythm, thanks to the Shadows. Besides, Hank taught many guitarists who later became famous; his playing, his touch of the strings, are inimitable and unmistakable. Even today the music of the Shadows arouses emotions. Thanks forever.
Shadows where a lendendry those good old days...group..though I didnt listen to them ...because we did not have the recordings of those days ..which you have now..tech has gone up greatly..but now with u tube..being an instrumental fanatic...i just got lucky to hear them..There is always a once in a century who play this type of music..many afterwards did..but you can't replace the originals..Guitarists of the present day need to learn from these amazing Group..no frills ..no theatrics..just good world class instrumentals..OLD is GOLD
I am 77 now, I heard shadows records first time when I was 17. I was so impressed, I started learning guitar. Their popular numbers were Apache, walk don’t run, Zambezi etc. Today, I am trying to teach Apache to my 11 yr old grandson. Hank, my favorite guitarist
De l instrumental a la guitare qui me touche toujours autant...Présent à leur concert à l Olympia en 1962,avec les copains de mon groupe "The men of Mystery" .Nous avions fabriqué nos guitares électriques nous memes avec l aide de mon père qui m'a conçu un ampli à lampes...Trop bonnes ces années soixante.;; Wonderful Land sonne toujours dans ma tete..L'achat de ma premiere Fender Strato a attendu 30 ans! Merci à tous les fans comme moi de faire durer ces shows par TH-cam.Pierrot
Despite The Shadows being voted Britain's top instrumental group, whenever they make up a list of the top rated Guitar players Hank Marvin never gets a mention, yet he inspired a fair number of Britain's best known guitar players, Hank Marvin will always be one of the all time greats
This was and 🐦 is...a Connectivity of myself and the Baby 🍼 hood Music ...those day's... Like 1964...1970tees.. in Pakistan Karachi.. there was Weekly Radio Broadcast namely... The Choice of the Week... And that was on_Air for a Pretty Wel to be 23...25 minutes. @ 1.25 pm to 2pm.. Wednesday.
I saw them at our local cinema in the sixties when Jet Harris was on base and they are still as fantastic today. What other group will last as long. Hank was born to play a Strat and boy how he can play. Thanks for this.
I saw them in Wigan with Jet Harris on bass and tony Mehan (Meehan?) on drums. They had just released "Wonderful Land". Frank Ifield was the supporting act, promoting his release of "I remember you" What a fantastic night that was!
As volto no tempo música assim que fala ao coração nunca mais iremos ouvir tempo maravilhoso que vivemos e para ficar srmpre nas lembranças de wue viveu essa época.
one of the best groups in music shame that this was the last concert of all time, as some of today's generation will never get to hear what great music really was and is.
@@banjopink4409 Well we have it on TH-cam at least for now. It might be a bit much to expect them to keep playing concerts. I'm just grateful to have heard this one. The look on Hank Marvin's face as he plays the tunes he loves is worth a replay for me.
Такая светлая музыка. Какие исполнители, спокойно с достоинством. Браво. Впервые услышала где то в 1972. Года три назад случайно нашла в интер теперь слушаю регулярно.
@@robertfiggitt8493 The tremelo arm, if you see close up appears gold instead of the usual silver. The original Fender Stratocaster Hank was given by Cliff in 1960 had these gold plated attachments, This may be that guitar.
@@geoffsansom2008 Thanks Geoff, I had heard that Bruce had acquired ownership, I was only wondering here if he had loaned it to Hank for the tour but no matter, it's all good.

The older you get the better you get. Thank you shadows you just brought Cliff Richard and my youth days back. I feel young again. Love from Mauritius.
Im nearly 60 and I have never seen this guy miss a note. I have heard it said that simple bright clean music is the very hardest to do as there Nowhere to hide.
Shadows music is the epitome of this. Im glad you guys made a bunch of cash using hard work dedication and skill enriching the lives of millions for decades.
Interesting..
THESE PLAYING WIZARDS NEVER LOSE THEIR WIZARDRY AFTER ALL THE YEARS!!! IM 76 BUT ENJOY THOSE TUNES I USED TO AIR OVER THE AIRWAVES!!!
It is NOT just "classical music". :) We were all taught in music school the development of musicianship, that is being able to play "musically" is developed first and foremost, through being able to play a single line melody with as much grace as a singer would sing it. Especially with slower tunes, ballades, etc. Classical and jazz guitarists learn this "the hard way". :) There is no disputing that what Hank plays is technically simple and easy to learn.
But from the original recordings 60 years ago, to ALL of the films on YT in which he plays these pieces....he NEVER deviates from what he has done and always plays these songs the same way - -and with absolute precision. You are correct....people do not comprehend how good someone has to be to be THAT "consistent". Excellent observation. :)
My instrumental journey started from the influence of “The Shadows”. I recently released this song with guitar legend Louie Shelton, I’d love you to have a listen ❤️

Soy Argentino tengo 78 años y ellos están en mis mejores recuerdos de juventud .Infinitas Gracias.
Moi, également ! ! ! !
I've always loved listening to the Shadows instrumental music. And I'm totally impressed by the fans in attendance, and the respect, and staying silent while the songs were played in their entirety.
THE AUDIENCE IS ABSOLUTELY AWED AND ENTHRALLED!!!
Cuz they learned manner , our/new generation is not.
Brilliant good music never dies
à "douglashall2141" après l'âge canonique de nos rock😃 stars sur scène qui dansent très prudemment😁 il est essentiel de remarquer un public nombreux, assis sagement, et aussi d'un certain âge😂🙂
Want sleep walk the shadows played at my funeral and queen I was born to love you and Elvis Presley one night with you xxx
Started listening to the Shadows in early 1960's.and 60 years later they're still as good as ever.No band has stood the test of time like they have.Magnificent! So many great memories of my youth,🙂
Ventures
Every good!!
Excelente musical , agora com 74 anos, como é bom recordar os meus belos tempos da minha juventude ❤
The BEST instrumental group in the the history of the UK - period !
Agreed, and America's Ventures come a rather poor second .
i would argue with you as i think the rapiers from around 1983+ are the best (look them up) BUT enjoy your music !
Make that the world
@STEEVB51: _"The BEST instrumental group in the the history of the UK - period !"_
Surely you meant 'exclamation mark', not 'period'.
….in the world !
Real music!
BU ADAM GİTARİYLA OYUNCAK GİBİ OYNUYOR. BU NASIL BİR YETENEK, MUHTEŞEM BİR SOLO GİTARİST.
Wow! I have just watched this again and it has taken me back to when I was a sixteen year old boy entrant in the RAF and was entranced by Apache and FBI. I am now 72 and still love the music because it is timeless. Bought myself a Fender Stratocaster when I was 70!!
Bly me..sounds great..
EW215
I hope you get lots of enjoyment out of your strat
I got my mine for my 50th!...candy apple red standard USA strat.
I have listened to the SHADOWS from day one I just can't forget these guys.
Just turned 70, and this makes me feel like I'm 15 again growing up with the Shadows and all those wonderful '60's groups.
I am 77 and I still love the Shadows and their music. So far, none have reached their perfection....

Yes, they are the best, I love them too, take good care hslee, all the best! 👍
Absolutely brilliant sound they seem to never miss a note or a beat and the quality of there music has stood the test of time.
My late father was a Shadows fan, and I grew up with them too, every cassette in the glovebox was the Shadows, he had a white and red strat, he always played the Shadows tunes. Its now mine, maybe I should try and learn to play. It’s been 4 years since he left us, had Wonderful land and the Deerhunter played at the funeral. Miss him every second of everyday but listening to this today has helped. Still tears but tears of joy. Love the Shadows.
Cassettes - ah, those were the days! Rewind them too much to keep listening to your favourite track and you ended up with a chewed up mass of useless magnetic tape! LOL
My advice? Get that guitar tuned up and start tinkering with it, learn to play it if you can. But whatever you do, enjoy it and keep on remembering your late father. :-)
The shadows and that sound are the best every group
Same here my Dad had all of their 45s grew up with them now in the morning I ask Alexa to play their playlist sets me up for the day brilliant memories ❤️🇬🇧
Learn to play the strat now ,before its to late and be with your dad ,all the best Steve.
@@stephenshaw6748 I will Steve.
Absolutely magnificent, they have got to be one of the greatest bands of all time. Loved them when I was a young boy and they still send shivers down my spine, bring back the 50's 60's music today's music is second rate.
Ditto
Música muy limpia , transparente que hace recordar personas , lugares , mi esposo cuando éramos muy jóvenes ( aproximadamente 50 años ) compro un dísco pero no eran : las sombras ,quienes tocaban se llamaban los Indios Tabajaras, y si eran como indios pero no recuerdo si eran de la selva de Brazil o por ahí en un país ,de Sudamérica ellos encontraron un avión caído entre la selva entre lo que encontraron fueron unas guitarras , un Radio y así fue como ellos escucharon la música con guitarras y aprendieron a tocar solos sin que nadie les diera lecciones de guitarra , alguien , algún turista los escucho , la portada del disco que teníamos estaban ellos ataviados con vestimentas y maquillados tal como era su Comunidad Indígena
Именно так.
This has got to be the most feel good 27 minutes on the internet.
Tình yêu của tôi dành cho ban The Shadows vẫn nguyên vẹn như thuở ban đầu vào đầu thập niên 60. Tôi nay đã qua tuổi "...thất thập cổ lai hy." nhưng mỗi khi nghe lại ban nhạc The Shadows trình diễn tôi thấy như mình trở về thơ ấu của mình vậy. Mỗi khi tôi muốn trở về tuổi thơ của mình thì tôi vào TH-cam và tìm đến ban The Shadows. You're the best ! I'll never forget you.
What I love about this is the complete simplicity of each individual's playing into a perfect blend of complexity..
Hi
Ozrockerie Yes, you are right. I agree.
#Zrockkerie Beautiful song, sweet memories, great performance
Happy New year and how are you doing today?

Who else on here loves to hear the sound coming from a Fender Stratocaster? Can’t beat its clarity! Fender forever! Thank you The Shadows🙏 A fanboy from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Love this Music!:@,J
i agree,Shadows for ever
�👍👍��👍👍a
No te olvides del sonido de los VOX AC30.
The Vox AC30 does its bit, too.
The Shadows, what a great bunch of guys, brilliant music, head & shoulder's above the rest. What a crowd . Long may they reign supreme.
I heard that even Princess Margareth of the royal kingdom was fan of the shadows in the sixties. No wonder, she hat good taste and so she was fond of them. Bravo Hank Marvin and musicians, even Ben Marvin. You and your music are great. What a treat for us.
I can’t imagine any rock band today with the talent to have a concert playing entirely instrumental music. This band is a real gift. Simply amazing!!! 👍👍👍
There's lots of post rock instrumental bands that are very good.
❤❤❤❤❤
Well they do sing and harmonise too - and very well!
@Dartgame 340 jhbb
The Shadows' sound is impeccable. They are all superb musicians and Hank Marvin has defined their sound with his use of the tremolo constantly in his right hand as he plucks the guitar strings. So perfectly clear and artful. He is wonderfully supported by the precision of the others. This band is all about precision timing. Brilliant.
Monikie Douglas Yes, they are brilliant! I totally agree with you.
Sorry for the late comment.
Love their footwork !!! They are unique !!! Will never be seen again !!!
Hank is magical. What a talent.I can't stop listening to the Shadows.I have all their music in my collection and frequently plays them
Oni są po za wszelkimi kryteriami. Wspaniali, czas się ich nie ima.
Quá tuyệt vời của bạn nhạc Anh thập niên 70
The Shadows have always maintained that distinctive sound and style of theirs from day 1. I love them no end. Long live the Shadows.
Yes, they are the best shadows - no grey one among them.
Their music is so clean and distinctive. They have their own sound. Shadows for ever
How's it possible that this music still sounds so good after all this time? I'm pleased that the large audience tells me that I'm not alone in my love of The Shadows.
Because good music ever dies. Other examples would be Mozart and Beethoven. Still good after 200 years just like this will be.
Bill Blinky. Most honest praise I have heard for years.
the shadows,simply the best, no other group comes close,after sixty years i will never tire of listening too them
Surely not.
@@blacktiger955i Agree
Wow, so many memories of my younger years, I actually love and appreciate them more now as I realise what great musicians they are, only improving (if that's possible) with age and experience. I saw them live (with Cliff) at the London Palladium in the early 60s, my first time at a theatrical musical performance and was blown away. I would go anytime to see them live again, if they still perform.
thank you for great memories.... I have the music since the beginning... and still today in my 70's I love to listen! It lifts me up ... always. Thank you for such great music one truly can get lost in it!
As a guitarist of 60+ years ... I LOVE that an instrumental group can draw a crowd that big!! FUN city!
One of the world's top guitarist makes it look so easy!
Man that old Strat sure sounds great. Great job. Thanks for reminding us older folks what we been missing. Love it. One of the greatest groups ever. Love you all! God Bless you always!

These guys were ground breakers.
Leaders in the great variety of popular music
That signified the late 50's and beyond.
My love for The Shadows is deep and true.
Masters of The Game.
The group is fantastic as a whole, but Hank Marvin is truly a guitar genius....he takes guitar playing to another level and makes it look effortless. His smiles and the look of joy on his face make it obvious he loves what does. He is a treat to our ears.
Fantastische Muziekkanten dierbare herrinneringen aan ! Onvergetelijk ❤🇳🇱🙏🎸🎸🎸🥁👋( April 2022)
Yes, a high level.
I am 70 now. Loved them when I was 15. And I loved them still. Hank looks better now and is incredibly good now as before. Thank you H ank and Bruce and Brian . You make my day.
Same here. First heard them when I was 11. Loved their music for 60 years. God bless 'em all.
Always the best instrumental band on the planet , been a fab since the 60’s
Soy chileno y tengo 75 años siempre los escucho y también toco sus temas. Son maravillosos, brillantes.
When I first heard The Shadows in 1959 I had just started senior school and I was hooked on that special sound and as I get into my dotage my love for The Shadows is still there it has never waned God Bless Them for giving me and so many others over the years so much pleasure.
I'm 30 and have just listened to 26 minutes of pure Guitar gold. Lots of people my age (and younger) are rediscovering this great music as a replacement for the commercial stuff produced now!
Lee Lacey
Fully support that..100%
Despite my previous neg. comnents.
I never criticised the band nor their music, only the idiots making comparative, 'best in the world' comments.
Hank Marvin has sweetest tone of all guitarist in his era ❤.
What a great show, fabulous musicians and check out the size of the crowd!!! Thanks for posting this gem!!
Wby there isn't any elbow room in the venue...one guy could not sit still he decided to stand and wiggle! Tbeir music is highly contagious!!!
These incredibly talented musicians are still at the top of their game and still seem to be enjoying playing together as much as they ever did. They don't come any better than The Shadows. There'll never be another band like them.
Eles são os the shadows
Well my Bestest ChildHood golden gate
Despite their "Old" age they still ROCK, like no other!!
on another very hot afternoon here in Australia .. ill be listening to this a few times ., today 👍
I totally agree.
Viejo el sol, y nos calienta
Vieja la luna y nos alumbra
Viejo el aire y nos sopla
Vieja la tierra y nos da vida.
Escuche esta reflexión y me gustó.
Adultos los músicos y nos alegra unos minutos la vida. Mi humilde opinión.
Soy Argentino tengo 75 años siempre los escucho y también toco sus temas. Son maravillosos, brillantes.
That was tremendous. The Shadows will always be known as the best of the best entertainers to this day. Thank you for sharing and for the wonderful memories.
Every now and again I need to hear The Shadows, and nothing else will do! Enough said!!
From Italy: In the 60s I learned to play the guitar, both solo and rhythm, thanks to the Shadows. Besides, Hank taught many guitarists who later became famous; his playing, his touch of the strings, are inimitable and unmistakable. Even today the music of the Shadows arouses emotions. Thanks forever.
my 83 y/o dad's favourite band......
Shadows where a lendendry those good old days...group..though I didnt listen to them ...because we did not have the recordings of those days ..which you have now..tech has gone up greatly..but now with u tube..being an instrumental fanatic...i just got lucky to hear them..There is always a once in a century who play this type of music..many afterwards did..but you can't replace the originals..Guitarists of the present day need to learn from these amazing Group..no frills ..no theatrics..just good world class instrumentals..OLD is GOLD
I am 77 now, I heard shadows records first time when I was 17. I was so impressed, I started learning guitar. Their popular numbers were Apache, walk don’t run, Zambezi etc. Today, I am trying to teach Apache to my 11 yr old grandson. Hank, my favorite guitarist
Could listen to The Shadows 7 days a week and never get bored, they are the best and always will be
Me too...ideal for car driving on a Long distance!:@J
Mi primero disco lo compro con 14 años ahora tengo 79 y no me canso de escucharlo 😢😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
De l instrumental a la guitare qui me touche toujours autant...Présent à leur concert à l Olympia en 1962,avec les copains de mon groupe "The men of Mystery" .Nous avions fabriqué nos guitares électriques nous memes
avec l aide de mon père qui m'a conçu un ampli à lampes...Trop bonnes ces années soixante.;;
Wonderful Land sonne toujours dans ma tete..L'achat de ma premiere Fender Strato a attendu 30 ans!
Merci à tous les fans comme moi de faire durer ces shows par TH-cam.Pierrot
Just a mention for the drummer, Brian Bennett. Rarely gets the praise his skills deserve. A true professional
THRILLS ME WHEN HE PLAYFULLY PUMMELS THOSE EXPENSIVE DRUMS!!!
Always nice to see Hank Marvin enjoying himself!
Always smiling!
The shads will never be forgotten!
Definitely not they were the best . I stil enjoy their music at 78
Impossible to beat - a red Strat and Hank - and let's not forget the others. Each one a consummate musician.
Não é para me gabar, mas a verdade, é que tenho este DVD, já faz mais que dez anos!
I love them since 1963 when watching The Young Ones and Summer Holiday! They’re the best!
Cannot and will not ever be beaten as exponents of popular instrumental guitar music....long live the Strat. and the Shads!
they aren't similar in style but probably the only other instrumental guitar band i'll ever like will be ratatat
Despite The Shadows being voted Britain's top instrumental group, whenever they make up a list of the top rated Guitar players Hank Marvin never gets a mention, yet he inspired a fair number of Britain's best known guitar players, Hank Marvin will always be one of the all time greats
Unbeatable.!!!!
@@paulhewitt5198 Absolutely!
Not quite true. Mark Knoppler, Brian May and others have recognised this was trailblazing.....still manages to excite for sure.
trevzulu123
What about Bert Weedon or Tommy Steele?
The Shadows is the best ,in the world . They have been my favorits since 60,s
I just found them on here. I have ALWAYS loved rock instrumental groups. It's funny I never heard of them before until today. GREAT SOUND !!!!!!!
I don't think I so
Whot I a croud madjik
Hank Marvin is one of the greatest guitarists ever!!!!!
I am a Shadows fan and Hank is the reason why I wanted to play guitar
You and me both Emma!
You're in great company Em Mark Knopfler, Jimmy Page to name but two
And many many others
@@alanhunter6279 I think Hank was also a source of inspiration to Brian May
Alan Hunter an Dave Gilmore
The unique tune of APACHE was so magical that perhaps it may have launched a thousand bands worldwide.
Love it! Brings back memories.
I can still play it today, whilst many tunes I've long forgotten!
Absolutely 🤗💯

Don't matter where or when this sound is mind-blowing, long live The Shads

I saw them at our local cinema in the sixties when Jet Harris was on base and they are still as fantastic today. What other group will last as long. Hank was born to play a Strat and boy how he can play. Thanks for this.
I saw them in Wigan with Jet Harris on bass and tony Mehan (Meehan?) on drums. They had just released "Wonderful Land". Frank Ifield was the supporting act, promoting his release of "I remember you" What a fantastic night that was!

As volto no tempo música assim que fala ao coração nunca mais iremos ouvir tempo maravilhoso que vivemos e para ficar srmpre nas lembranças de wue viveu essa época.
one of the best groups in music shame that this was the last concert of all time, as some of today's generation will never get to hear what great music really was and is.
How do we know that this was the last concert of all time?
@@banjopink4409 Well we have it on TH-cam at least for now. It might be a bit much to expect them to keep playing concerts.
I'm just grateful to have heard this one. The look on Hank Marvin's face as he plays the tunes he loves is worth a replay for me.
@@Ingot54 But did he really urge us to drink bleach? I failed to hear that.
Hello
Hank Marvin... the greatest guitar player of all time! Always smiling and enjoying the music! And what a band! The Shadows for ever!
Humberto Luis Mendes Yes, you are right about them! I totally agree with you.
@@vigorniensis6585 Mark Knopfler is a rock guitarist. John Williams is a motion picture music composer.

Perhaps even better the second time. WOW ❤ Thanks for coming back.
The best instrumental guitar group ever.
what can you say,shads simply the best,never get tired of listening,Hank and Bruce r fab
@@robertfiggitt8493 The tremelo arm, if you see close up appears gold instead of the usual silver. The original Fender Stratocaster Hank was given by Cliff in 1960 had these gold plated attachments, This may be that guitar.

@@geoffsansom2008 Thanks Geoff, I had heard that Bruce had acquired ownership, I was only wondering here if he had loaned it to Hank for the tour but no matter, it's all good.
