  • im 65 now & the sixties were out off this world u ad got 2 be there 2 understand wat they were like.we ad the music & full employment. MAGIC.!!

  • i wish music nowadays was this beautiful i wish i grew up in this generation not this one :(

  • I'm a child of the 60's, just the best period in our history.

  • Ferry cross the mersey~

  • I'm 19 but I love this song to bits. I feed on the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s you name it <3

  • I remember sitting outside on a perfect, warm, summer night with a special somebody. And we had this little portable radio. The moon was bright and we could see the big white puffy clouds floating by and the stars. It was just one of those really great magical nights that brought a sense of peace, happiness, and tranquility. And then Ferry Cross The Mersey started to play on the radio and added even more to the magic! This song takes me away to that special place.

  • @bangleboi Wow, nice reminiscing the past through these beautiful and classic music. Happy listening.

  • I lived near the Mersey !

    I still miss it

  • THIS SONG AND WALK AWAY RENEE BY THE LEFT BANK WERE TWO OF MY FAVORITES FROM MY GRADE SCHOOL DAYS.

  • how amazing this song is

  • What a beautiful song

    

  • Great melody, great ambient vibe.

  • reminds me of someone really special! 

  • "We don't care what your name is boy, we'll never turn you away"

    So true, i started to go to Liverpool on my own aged 17 in 81 to follow the reds, used to get off at lime st and go into the Legs o Man pub, i was looked after by the locals there and have never forgotten their hospitality.

  • i lovee this song!

    this is the music i livee forr <3

  • did you notice at 0-22 jimmy saville getting in on screen, on far left as you are looking, RIP Jimmy.

  • This really is a very pretty song. Very sweet and sad. Gerry sings it so well. Haven't heard this one in a long time. Thank you for posting!

  • Damn, he gets such great reverb without even using a microphone!

  • This is a superb sound ....One of the best at the time.....It has a very nostalgic feel to it now as we conjure up images of what it used to like.

  • I was born in '62 and grew up listening to this music and I love it!

  • Has anyone realized how strikingly similar Gerry Marsden and Goldie Hawn look. They could have been twins!

  • très belle chanson de cet artite , quel belle voix aussi!

  • One thing you can't do today National Militant Hattonites day is cross the bloody Mersey as the Ferry isn't running and the Tunnels are shut.

  • heard this sog when i was a kid going to the babysitters lol

  • lovvvvve this Song, Driving along A!A on a sunny morning

  • the good part of G&Pacemakers,they did there own songs not some R&B cover from the USA.the tunes were very good.

  • good song from a good group

  • What memories!My young life,house-parties,jokes,hopin­g in a great future..

    it's 'great hearing these lovely songs again:).

  • Great thing about having older siblings- music like this was not to be played in our home- only country (which I still will not listen to). As my sisters got out of high school & left home, I visited them and listened to this music. Then my older sister got me a transistor radio in 1967 & I would listen to is under my pillow. Cold winter nights were great, could pick up lot of stations (I was in KC). If I could get WLS it was great. WHB in KC was good too. Thanks for sharing!!

  • Gerry was a transexual and has his guitar so high to hide the fact that she/he hadn't yet had the boob removing operation..FACT.

  • @spacecowboy7580 Where did you get that preposterous piece of libellious rubbish?

  • @paul72kate

    LMAO@libellious

    If you're going to use big words you should find out how to spell them properly.

  • @spacecowboy7580 - Well, on that point you're right - it's libellous (if you're using British English) but my point still stands.

  • how do you respond to perfection

  • Ha ha well said spacecowboy lol : )

  • Nice to hear this again, even if it as an anthem for the bin dipping shell suit wearing scouse gets.

  • How cool would have the 60's been..

  • Goosebumps !!!!

  • Looks like Peter Kay on guitar

  • I enjoy the Oldies but Goodies.

  • the sixies where great, so much fun , great groups. so many to list, 60 great time mods rockers, beatles . now 63, still cry about those days, moved on to country, after living in nevada 20 years. but as gerry says im back to the home i love , gt britain. no place better to lay my hat..

  • I love listening to this song, it brings my heart back home to Liverpool and I have a good laugh thinking of all my memmories with the family!!!

  • Love the song and the group!! Thirteen when this came out! Time Flies!!

  • Gerry was a bellend, but this was a good song!

  • Ditto on this one for the same reasons stated on the "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying". Ditto also to Nancy, graphicalnuances. Congrats on your 60. Same for me.

  • This song kept me going when I was wondering.

  • @stevemladenrenko This song keeps me going when I'm wandering.

  • Just turned "60", and I still love hearing this stuff from my early teenage years!

    It reminds me, just where I came from...musically speaking....

    Wish I still had the origianal albums!

    Nancy.

  • JUST BEAUTIFUL!! :)))))))))))))))

  • that's how musicians carry the guitar before...so before you joke nonsense..know the truth..

  • my god love this tune makes me cry xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • Man, does the crowd know how to dance or what!?

  • Absolute classic,Gerrys the man.

  • He held his guitar high so he could see what his fingers were doing! By his own admission, he always struggled as a natural guitarist! I can sympathise!

  • Where is the video of them on the ferry singing the song. It was on youtube now i cant find it!

  • Beautiful Song ! a lot of remember...include there was a film where Gerry  & P...play this song !...

  • Beautiful Song ! a lot of remember......

  • timeless music and wasn't even born in this era

    

  • was dancing invented in the 70s ?

  • ALL OUR MOMS AND DADS ARE THERE TOO GOD BLESS U ALL

  • THE YOUNG KID SHAKIN HIS HEAD AT THE CAM WITH THE WRY SMILE JUST UNDER GERRY MARSDENS LEFT HAND ARE U STILL AROUND I WISH I WAS YOU

  • All time great !!

  • Just enjoy, guys!!

  • Esses carinhas já faziam isso em 65 !!!!!!!

  • Just love this song!

  • My GF is from Liverpool

  • @CRXPhil

    My condolences to you.

  • Can you actually see any male, no matter what race, actually going on stage in a suite and tie? Or a lady wearing a knee length dress?

    Is there something wrong with looking like a professional?

  • Oh my! I was born in the late fifties...and thrived in the sixties. Such memories of that era coming back to me whenever I hear this song, and the one "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying.' Well done, Gerry and the Pacemakers>

  • @marycraftylady same here

  • Did the ferry trip a couple of weeks ago.

  • This song is how I feel about México!

    

  • Gerry is twice as wide now, but he's still just as good. :)

  • Great song from the days when Britain was the coolest country on Earth.

  • @lewisner Sorry, but Britain is not a country.

  • @SammyKarnage ;) This concept is difficult to grasp for someone not living in the UK. ;)

  • @Gooregan Understood Sir.

  • @SammyKarnage If only those non-British people got that, too. :D

  • @Gooregan Good music is easy to grasp no matter where you live!!!

  • @sunny56763 My comment had nothing to do with the music. It was part of an ongoing discussion.

  • Comment removed

  • @Gooregan We're not all redneck knuckle draggers on this side of the pond , Having loved damn near all the top notch music thats come out of UK , I find that to be an ignorant and close minded comment .

  • @rabidcatsinmypants66 My dear, if you had a look at the context of my comment, you would find out that you are entirely on the wrong track with your complaint. Just saying.

  • Joy in my heart but tears out my eyes trying to revive those everlasting moments forever.

  • Grreat song I can never get tired of hearing it, just beautiful.

  • been to liverpool 3times reminds me of docks down their gtreat place

  • As an American with a Scottish mother and Irish father,and now, a wife from Liverpool, I played this song over and over as kid, admiring peoples love of their home town,and this song displays that.

  • I keep looking for more and better but I can't find it.

  • Oh God what beautiful music,

  • Words fail me yet again...such talent will never be seen again. I am bumbstruck..such clear vocals and the melody..timeless...

  • OMG!!! I just made a cool discovery with this song!!!! the guitar beat is the same as in the movie From Dusk TIll Dawn.. The part where Salma is dancing in the club with the sanke.... !!! COOOOOL

  • one of the most beautiful songs ever made,,I nwas a teenager at the time and I loved it then, and now,,

  • I'm picking up a Bobby Darin look on this video.. Ya think ?

  • What is the guitar he is playing, a Rickenbacher?

  • @hewhobarksatdogs Yes, A Rickenbacker 12-String With A Jetglo Finish Very Similar To The One That George Harrison Was Playing At About That Time (1964-1965)

  • Your not really serious about a reformation are you?

  • YNWA Gerry..

  • Great song, Great Group. I always liked them. :)

  • I wish i was alive in the 60's just to hear this on the radio:')

  • @ZigZaggZzHD ..i was 14 when this was on the radio,,the perfect age to soak up the new music that was coming from that little island,,,,england. it was a very innocent time. no one had any idea what was to come from there as all of a sudden..the beatles, the stones, the kinks, the animals, the troggs, the who and...them, started to rock our world. it was incredible...to say the least. the rest is history.

  • Great one!!!

  • Fab! Thanks so much for posting this one! It's a big fave of both myself and my husband. They just don't make music like this anymore! Rap? Hip-hop? What the hell is that about?? Lyrics are awful and the music is junk!

  • 2 people didn't make it onto the ferry.

  • Hey vinylsolution, do you know where this particular video was shot at?

    Was it in the U.S., or England? Thanks!!!

  • @ACHPKP

    In U:K, There is BBC logo on start.

  • @Damienola .........thank you ever so much !!! I just love listening to these groups that not only sounded

    good, but told a good story as well---from the heart.

    I'm a professional fingerstyle guitarist who is always learning, or relearning

    these oldies. Thanks again ( I failed to notice the Logo at the start).

  • The 1960's is the greatest era for rock music. No one makes music like this anymore. Everything today is about TRENDS!!

  • Yes, Music since 1992 is dismal at best! Some rap contains a social message worth hearing, but not the dirty variety of the "genre"...NO ONE can beat the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Animals, The Who, Kinks, Hollies, Herman's Hermits, just to name a few - & all those groups came out in the same year!! Later, I feel Fleetwood Mac represented the best of that '60's sound but incorporated a new sound for the '70's...

  • Three greatest bands ever out of Liverpool: Beatles, Pacemakers, Ruttles.

  • This song came out when I was almost 10. My lifelong dream was to visit Liverpool and see the Mersey River. It took 40 more years before that dream came true. It was a great experience to see where my musical idols grew up.

  • Comment removed

  • I think the camera probably hit some of the kids as it zoomed in - you can see Gerry really smile broadly as this happens. Great stuff.

  • Yeah, don't surrender, kids! Keep digging! The '60's will blow your mind if you just do your homework. Look, you can blow me off 'cause I'm 52, but I was there, man, and there will NEVER be another decade for rock and Pop like the '60's.

  • Comment removed

  • @ACHPKP is it you?

  • Justice for Our 96 ...... beautiful song <3

  • *****!!!

  • this song is one of the best ever! grtz from vlissingen

  • We were so blessed to experience the infusion of countless musical expressions. This phase, "british invasion", with all the others, galvanized the second coming of the modern cultural renaissance.This unforgettable decade defined a time where generally, as a nation, many of us were privy to current events, whatever the age group,less the departure and escapisms of today's technology.This song along "Don't Let The Sun Catch" , are two I'll take with me when its my time to cross the mersey"

  • sure brings back memories riding in the car with my dad and watching him sing the pacemakers songs, the pacemakers will always be in my heart.

  • String chart that breaks my heart to this day. The pinnacle of the British Invasion. I wanted to immediatley re-locate to Liverpool.

    When will Net-flix get this movie (and Dr. feelgood in "Oil City Confidential' while they're at it?......Great ric 12 string too Gerry...God Keep Freddie...

  • good lip synching.

  • Damn, even musical instruments were built better then.

  • its a shame music cant simple as this why has it gotten so complicated and confused I just thank got that i lived those years 60's were fantastic for my self and others PEACE

  • When I was in the 4th grade I had the mumps & all I ould do was lay there & listen to the radio. This was by far the best song they played then!

  • @cindiarg

    what about "how do you do it ?" an absolute gem. solid gold. almost as good as eating lobster thermidor.

  • gerry and liverpool rule ok - tossers!

  • A great song, from a great band. It's nice to see people moving with the muisc and jumping up and down like apes, and banging heads. Bring back the 60's, when songs were from the HEART. not theSHIT(R.A.P.) that isn't even music. LOVE THE 60's MUSIC

  • just a brill singer is gerry xxx

  • Gerry Marsden would have fitted very nicely into the Beatles :)

  • @teebee1984 If he could have handled the LSD ;-)

  • Comment removed

  • I'm with you Ampvega. I'm 60 and have never stopped liking NEW music. You start to get old the moment you get stuck in an era. I still love Gerry and the memories that he brings back but there is some very poetic, and sometimes witty, Rap out there as well.

  • I'm turning 60 this week, and for some reason, have been visiting these old classic songs...as a musician, I've been learning to play them as well. But...c'mon...there's some great hip-hop out there; there's great country music too. I believe there's room for everybody, but I tell ya'...those old melodies are timeless.

  • @Ampvega I agree mate, there is great music from all genres. I'm 25, but I'm a lover of music, so I'll always enjoy some of the golden oldies from time to time.

  • @Ampvega I agree with about 90% of your comments but in no universe is there one bit of talent in the hip hop or rap world it is all garbage and I'm one that likes almost all kinds of music since the late 50's.

  • @JJMFB1 But what rap have you heard? Just the mainstream stuff on the radio? As that isn't rap, that is what you call pop music. People like 50 cent and Lil wayne are hip pop, not hip hop. Real rap would never be in the pop charts!

  • @JJMFB1 Ever heard of The Pharcyde, A Tribe Called Quest, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Common, Jurassic 5, The Roots, etc. thats real hiphop, not the garbage you think is hiphop. If you knew any of it, you wouldn't be calling it that, those are some really talented artists right there. Its a shame 90% of people never get to hear it because they already think they have an idea of what rap/hiphop is and never bother to dig beneath the surface.

  • @sfogfgokjsogjsdfks they all are loosers and your have no real talent out there so you accept mediocrity,these fools would not even be members of the backup bands,where is beiber when you need some talent

  • @JJMFB1 listen to yourself, you clearly dont have a clue about them so your opinion is meaningless.

  • @sfogfgokjsogjsdfks I know crap when I see and smell it,you need a drive-by to get the answer you need,Peace fool

  • @sfogfgokjsogjsdfks I know crap when I see and smell it,you need a drive-by to get the answer you need,Peace fool.just call beiber he will give you mediocrity.

  • @sfogfgokjsogjsdfks THEY ALL SUCK,WHERES beiber,you and the rest of fools in this page,if you like real music please stay and listen to real talent,but if you want mediocracy listen to your tribes,the only thing you will remember about your new heroes is when the music stops or they are died,hip hop or hip pop,same name for garbage.

  • @JJMFB1 I didnt reply to your last comment and a week later you go on another rant at me? Whats wrong with u I cant be bothered to argue with someone who knows so little about the subject. Alot of the hiphop artists I listen to HAVE either stopped making music a long time ago, or are dead. I listen to all genres of music and can identify talent, I dont need someone to tell me what I should and shouldnt listen to. Why do you keep saying wheres bieber? I dont give a fuck about bieber.

  • @sfogfgokjsogjsdfks I love pulling your chain as you are such a puss,if you know good music when you hear it then you should be a rich record producer, the hip non-artists don't retire they OD or killed in a drive-by,where is tupak {who cares about the spelling} rest in peace like the rest of the losers.I never told you who to like or listen to,I just commended how I feel,take it or continue to waste me time,fool

  • @JJMFB1 You dont know me, how did you come to the conclusion I am a 'puss'? Probably the same way you came to the conclusion the people I mentioned are garbage, even though you most likely never heard of them or any of their music. Pure ignorance and prejudice.

  • @sfogfgokjsogjsdfks JMMFBI is a lunatic. He just butt in with my discussion on a BeeGees clip. He is probably an insecure oldie who can't stand up to his wife so he wants to find confrontation in the anonymity of the net. Not only you and me man. I followed his links and see how he provoke fights with other people too. His usual style is to insult and give lectures. He brag about politics and stuff. I think it is his insecure manifestation for his lack of education. He doesn't realize he is dumb

  • @ambrosiobertodazo I think you hit the nail on the head there. If I ever come across him again, I won't give him the satisfaction by replying to his small minded comments

  • "Now, how do you feel about Brian Epstein" Titter titter titter.

  • candid video from 1965?

    wow, this video is great. no joke.

    i hated that i was born into the worst two decades of music thus far, i belong in the 50's.

  • Money and greed kills everything! It killed music. It sounds too simple, but it's true. Also, television and computers are robbing mankind of imagination and creativity. Todays music solved. Electronic technology has it's benefits, and it's down side. It makes life easier, but then it makes us lazy. When I watch Youtube for hours (although I love to do so), I do not leave feeling inspired, I leave feeling drained. As we advance with electronic technology, we will become mindless robots. i.e. RAP

  • this is the most listened song on my ipod and im 16 we aint all bieber fans haha :)

  • The great music will last through the generations! I came here after listening to a 12 year old singing Beatles songs. I'm a music journalist, and the best youthful artists today are doing music that reflects the music of previous generations. That is why I teach photography with FILM to younger people and why I hear so many younger people perform music from "our" generation. Even "rap music" has run it's course ... but Pop Music will never die!

  • Scousers forever

  • Seems like just yesterday!!

    Where have all those years gone???

    60's remain the greatest era....

  • @UriahHeep100 No kidding.I'm 61 and it seems like yesterday.We had a rock and roll band in high school and played every Fri. and Sat.Everything from the Letter to Little Ol' Man by Bill Cosby.

  • Absolutely beatiful.

  • Pat Metheny played excellent cover on One Quiet Night.

  • another great mersyside anthem but nothing beats you'll never walk alone

  • amazingggggggggggggg

  • Some of you here would be delighted to know that my generation (post 1982) hardly listens to the crap on FM anymore. With the advent of internet radio like Pandora etc. there's better alternatives.

    Have a listen to the Telepathic Butterflies. They are from this decade, but you couldn't tell. Beautiful music.

  • Just discovered this song....gotta say it's pretty good

  • this yound gerry marsden looks like richard hammond :D

  • do the ride its still the same shut your eyes and listen to this, ive done the the same to San fan songs

  • I remember when this song first came out.I still have the 45rpm I bought then of this song!I use to slow dance to this song just like in this video.Those were really great days.You had to have experienced those days to really appreciate it and to see that today kids really have nothing like we did,sorry to say.We had fun then,didn't have to worry about getting stabbed when you went to a dance.This song sounds still sounds great even after all these years.No Lady Goo Goo Ga Gas back then either.

  • Where is the one where the mike stand is almost knocked over?

  • Beat music, British beat, or Merseybeat!!!

  • Comment removed

  • yes one of my favorite songs from the british invasion,great song...

  • god i love all these old bands well not old just good music like the beatles and these"!!! brian epstien must of worked some magic them days!! where is good ppl like that now??

  • Rap is sad its a sign of the decline of merica and cultural stupididty, and depravity ! If you dont like my words ---F*ck Yo Hoe ass ! Ba Boo Boo bwa- Ba Boo Boo bwa ah ah ah ah ah !

  • 2 muppets disliked this video.....

  • We were meant to cross paths. We learned from one another. You, that music could speak our hearts. Me, that hearts could sing once again.

  • I had to visit Liverpool and felt the same about it when I left.Its a very special place.

  • I agree with you 1,000 %
