[selby16]

saw thesearchers first time 30 years ago with pender allen mcnally and adamson they were outstanding absolutely brilliant saw them again 2 years ago wit this line up again they were very good but saw them last week with a new drummer and someting is wrong just not the same still a fan though but now of the recorded music not live anymore



[JimmyMac6778]

Nothing wrong with Penders, but these guys rock The Rickenbacher 12 captures it. Find a Penders vid (this song), as good.

[TheBabyboomkidof53]

john mcnally, is the founding member of the searchers. so those leaving messeges here that penders group is better ,ect...and so on...need to thank john mcnally, for giving them the classic songs they love hearing the searchers sing. no matter which group is singing it.

Mike Penders Searchers are much " truer " to the sound of the Searchers.....much better than this lot !

[kenimisoncanada]

There is one original Searcher - we see them every couple of years at Casino Rama in Ontario, Canada and they are excellent - they have weathered the years well.

[englishsandy]

These are NOT the original Searchers;Jackson,Curtis,Pende­r along with McNally were,these are not a patch on the harmonies,stage presence and generral ambience,nit a patch.

[MattyDoable]

Unbelieveable Performance

Any Praise is a complete understatement.

[themanfromwem]

Chris, why are there lines at the top of the clip ??? Howard

[commodore665]

And the black suits still look good

[TheBabyboomkidof53]

I loved them when we were young and I still love them now we are older. I hope they play till their 80s!

[5ourgang]

For all you critics out there who say they're living in the past I wanna say "thank God".They're keeping alive the best rock sound to ever come out of England. I knew and appreciated them 35 years ago but only recently [ thanks to you tube] discovered the brilliance of the latest and best version of the Searchers. Please come to America soon. You're on my bucket list.

[Thegolfa19]

@5ourgang only 35 years ago, go back 48 then you're a real Searchers fan.

[frederickedwinify]

I saw them play this in a pub in Willetton, Western Australia, a couple of years ago and it sounded just as good.

[123456734459]

Knock out. Tezza the Manch. Thanks for the post............

[lmorgan1974]

they still sound great

[stevelittlewood11]

Just done a rough count on my fingers and if they are still playing nowadays then the Searchers name has been going on for over 50 years.Well done lads and may I sincerely wish you many many more healthy years still to come...

[radxone]

They don't need to worry about the future. Their music is so nostalgic and wonderful to those of us who remember them so well. I feel so good when I hear their music! Truly a great Britband. I hope they keep this up forever.

[jasgcwoody]

really would like to see you in usa!!!!

[arob48]

re themanfromwem: thats why I own a Mosrite!!

[SuitS06]

[justgeorge121]

Great song but it is kinda sad to see them suck a living out of the past with no eye to the future

[plutoplatters]

[themanfromwem]

I really hate Rickenbackers , the truss rod was far to weak, and meant they went continually out of tune, best one I had was les paul double cut-away, and vox phantom 5(V), 73, Howard

[123456734459]

Just Fab, Thanks for the post, Tezza tne Manch............

[musiclover8720]

Wow,I,so glad to see these guys again!

Singing well and looking very good.

[gordonAfranks]

February 1964 - Sheffield University - Students Uinion Saturday Dance - The Searchers ! Needles and Pins had just hit the top of the charts - they played it 4 times - no one danced - just listened and cheered. Bands used to tour in those days,

It seems like only yesterday!

[EW215]

I saw these guys on the Arcadia a few years back and they had all us sixty fans rocking!

Long may they reign.

[tonyluelda]

great job, love it!!!

[RockSixtiesChick]

Just seen The Voice of the Searchers - the incomparable Mike Pender onstage in Solid Silver Sixties Tour 2010 ~ nothing can compare with him and that jangling 12-string guitar sound!! This lot are great - but he was THE BEST.

[walkerjoanna]

@RockSixtiesChick

Same here Rock 60s chick, I saw Mike Pender in the 25th Anniversary SSS tour and wasn't he just so full of energy and sang those Searchers songs like they should be sung!!! As you say, just THE BEST SEARCHERS VOICE EVER (with Tony Jackson of course)!!!

[6362491]

Excellent, I remember it well!
