Unforgettable music. From their 10 years with Cliff Richard to to-day I'm 75. My anti-depressant.

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 ❤️ ukposts.info/have/v-deo/hYB0moh_ZKKmknU.htmlsi=cc5gd6kxOwWmdEfy

Les shadows, ce sont toute mon adolescence. Et soixante ans, après, je les écoute toujours et très souvent. Nostalgie quand tu nous tiens ! ! ! ! !

It was a huge, awesome pleasant surprise to hear these four still playing the melodies I had already forgotten. Thanks a million!!

Miliony, amigo juri/cz

I've heard it so many times but it is never old ... I keep coming back and playing it again, close my eyes and imagine, that this world hadn't gone the way it has in the years since this wonderful music was hit parade.

miliony. jsou bezvadní juri/georg thank'you

I'm still enjoying them, saw them live in Auckland NZ, some years later in Hamilton, fantastic musicians 😮😅😊

Ben je dois avoir l'âge de tes parentes ou presque, parce que moi aussi je l'écoutais souvent.

Mes parents ont plus de 80 ans...mais ils ont toujours été jeunes d'esprit ! Je suis né en 63, mon père avait 32 ans...

Pascal BURIAND Euh! non je n'ai pas alors 80 ans, mais j'ai bien quelques années de plus que toi. J'aimerais aussi avoir encore ma maman. C'est la vie ....

Francine Ischi je suis désolé pour la perte de ta maman, mais comme tu dit, c'est la vie. Passe un bon dimanche, bisous.

Pascal BURIAND Merci Pascal. Maman est *partie*, il y a 14 ans. Tous les jours j'y pense. Quant à mon père je ne l'ai pas connu. J'avais deux ans quand il est parti. Gros bisous.

Filled to the rafters, so to speak and, well-behaved and appreciative!!! The Spectacular Shadows!!!

The Shadows Forever Young. Absolutely uncontested.

50 ans seulement je me souviens d'eux j'avais moins de 10 ans et j'en ai 66

They have class!!

Monikie Douglas Yes, they are brilliant! I totally agree with you. Sorry for the late comment.

Keep on going you will be made it one day , greetings from Remi 67

@@remicallant8756Imádom!!I Love you!!

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!

Yes, they are the best, I love them too, take good care hslee, all the best! 👍

Ventures

Every good!!

Excelente musical , agora com 74 anos, como é bom recordar os meus belos tempos da minha juventude ❤

The Best the others follow

hes the best

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!

@@highpitwilma thats weird because as far as i know my dad always called it a band. I know they where called groups thpugh too..

I'm 79 and still playing this great music in my band.

I am from Turkey,ı am still listen them every day half or one hour in a day

This music and the memories attached with it is like looking at one sunset after another....

I had a few Whiskies, my wife came home and the laptop and speakers had us dancing to it again!!

@@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.

Ah..my kind of music..absolutely fabulous...bring back memories ...tq for sharing...!!!!!!

I'm 77 and still say the same👍

Eu tbm volto aos meus 15 . Muita saudade.. músicas lindas... Que hoje não ouço mais.

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. :)

S2ŕ

Same here. First heard them when I was 11. Loved their music for 60 years. God bless 'em all.

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.

Allan H . Me too, I had the time of my life.

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.

Even though I was born in the 80s, I appreciate The Shadows, they are better then some of these modern bands about

Foxtrotunclecharliekiloing brilliant

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.

The greatest instrumental band of all time lead by the genius of Hank Marvin

Inoubliables ! Unforgettable musics !@@johninglott9932

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.

Bingo. I am 72. I know what you are talking about.

Eternal! Love those guys ❤ I'm 66, and hope to listen to them as long as I live or even more...

Fantastische Muziekkanten dierbare herrinneringen aan ! Onvergetelijk ❤🇳🇱🙏🎸🎸🎸🥁👋( April 2022)

Yes, a high level.

Bly me..sounds great..

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.

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.

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 !

Oni są po za wszelkimi kryteriami. Wspaniali, czas się ich nie ima.

Quá tuyệt vời của bạn nhạc Anh thập niên 70

Hi

Ozrockerie Yes, you are right. I agree.

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

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!

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

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.

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

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

Ok

If you want that sound and that tone you must get a Vox amp! They are using the Vox Ac30. But the smaller Vox amps can make the signature tone as well.

Eles são os the shadows

Well my Bestest ChildHood golden gate

they aren't similar in style but probably the only other instrumental guitar band i'll ever like will be ratatat

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.

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!!!

THRILLS ME WHEN HE PLAYFULLY PUMMELS THOSE EXPENSIVE DRUMS!!!

on another very hot afternoon here in Australia .. ill be listening to this a few times ., today 👍

I totally agree.
