  • who is the singer with the head band on ...he is great!!!

  • better than the original!

  • si cand esti trecut in varsta poti avea o voce ca in tinerete.... pace lov y

  • foate frumos cand va fi si la noi posibil asa concer .... dar cu toti sau macar melodiile lor ...thx all

  • I don't think so. Dion is amazing. His new stuff on XM 21 is great. Doin' a bluesy thing and he had a period of his career where he really rocked.

  • Does anyone know because I don't know much about the The Belmonts, are these guys the origional Belmonts?

  • doo wop will never ever die and harmonies will always be heaven when Dion is in the house! MY GOD that man is past awesome!

  • I saw this concert on television a year or so ago. It may have been on HD Net or maybe Palladia.

    It's a great show, and I've been hunting for the DVD ever since.

  • that guy is a total cowboy now

  • Does anyone know the names or who the backup singers are with Dion on this clip? Thanks! I don't think that they are any of the original 1958 members of the group.

  • i enjoyed watching this clip!! great footage!!

  • The guy calling them wops and ginzos would not do it to their faces, that's for sure. In fact, he wouldn't do it in most parts of NYC, Philly or anywhere in New Jersey., Rhode Island etc.

  • THE BACKGROUND IS OH SO AUTHENTIC! DION'S GREAT! PEACE VIA MUSIC. .VIVA MARIA!  DOO WOP...DOO WOP DOO WOP..LONG LIVE ROCK & ROLL. ROCK & ROLL FOREVER!

  • Awesome! Talent :)

  • Marvellous live version recorded at "Tropicana" in 2004.Dion aws 66 when they did this and still better than most auto-tuned 'stars' of today .Pax to all from 73soulboy.Xxx.

  • I am poor and do not receive overnment assistance. I am wondering if there were any Republicans out there who can give me money and can prove to me why the government should not tax them. You claim you would give freely if not taxed. If thats the case then paypal the money to me: neil.fingleton@yahoo.com. $5 or $10, it doesnt matter. Restore my faith that we should not be taxed and that people freely help honest individuals such as myself. I am college educated and I work.

  • @MrNeilfingleton notsureifserious.jpg

  • @MrIdDoer Yes sir, I am serious. Can you help? I know this is an unconventional method. I went to college and grad school and I am still broke even though I work 60 hours a week.

  • @MrIdDoer Yes, I am serious. I need help!

  • they used this song in Peggy Sue Got Married..Cage was great...

    No other Dion like Dion....tHE BEST OF THEM ALL...

  • What I wonder is why they're dressed like bikers...

    But I really rather like this rendition!

  • @TrueVolleyballAlyssa because Dion does what he wants when he wants

  • Why not go on and treat us to the live rendention of the song that we all bought and played over and over. You know, the original version where Dion remembered the words, versed,  and the doo wop didleys. Oh well, still love him and this was a great song.

  • bitch please

    ... when you get old your voice is not the same... you should be happy this guys stil around and singing

  • Grrrrreat job!!!!

  • I can't understand why he ruins all his songs these days. Come on Dion and sing em like you did on Belmont Ave.

  • I have the DVD of the whole show ..... go out and buy it .....awesome

  • PLEASE can anyone help!!! Dion Dimucci did a brilliant song called "What's That Sound", Not the Buffalo Springfield Song..Can't find it anywhere...It's a sort of potted- History of Pop

  • @MrSirDel ...it's on the Album "Dream On Fire"

  • Geez...can't sing it like he does on the record??

  • It is the "best" doo wop song of them all..He is the greatest..stands the test of time..I dont care if he lost his hair..I lost mine and I wear a hairpiece. he has a right to his vanity..Hes a legend!

  • all bald under the hats ?

  • Dion one of the best set of tenor voice I've ever heard before....... All hail thee

  • That back up crew makes the Goodfellows look like cub scouts!

  • Simply the best DooWop song of them all

  • See the smile Mr D has on his face during most of this video? When was the last time you smiled that much at work in 3 minutes?

    Guess he still enjoys what he does..........after a whole lot of years.

    CHI-Town Monk

  • Still rock it !!!

  • THEY LOOK AND SOUND FANTASTIC!

  • I wonder why I love you like I do Dion <3 :)

  • They sound great.

  • Comment removed

  • @tomthefunky ---------Wops can't accept hair loss and age probably because we're vain .Ginzos also........What about Micks, do they have that problem;or is it just largely a DAGO problem?

    You dirtynecked shanty harp!

  • DION-THE KING OF DOOWOP

  • Et cest la que s imagine dans une plymoute de 1954! avec un petit son comme sa! terrible dedicasse a mamelle! !!!

  • is jerry still going (thats the guy with the cowboy hat) i think the other guys with the shades is a relation to dion but noooooooooooooo they are not the belmonts but the sounds good

  • Where is the bass singer???

  • @optimistwannabe The guy with the head band is obviously the bass. He is Louis Colletti, Dion's cousin

  • anyway, we were sitting in the car an this song came on the radio.

  • It was back in 1958 in a car, sitting outside of a new restaurant, I think they called it, McDonalds. you had to walk up to a little window, place your order, get a coke, a bag of french fries,cooked in animal oil, and two hamburgers, for only $. 50. yeah, then Mc D's only had three types of hamburgers, plain, everything and cheese burgers, only one size of fries, great milkshakes, they didn't have inside seating, no quarter pounders, no chicken, just, burgers, fries and drinks,

  • My favorite song by The Belmonts!!! I have only one question: Who are the two INCREDIBLE backup singers and why don't we know more about THEM? Unbelievable...makes me smile every time I watch it. Someone tell THEM to form a retro group...I'll be the first in line.

  • who is the guy with the black do rag? He sounds almost like the guy from the belmonts.

  • Man these Doo Wop guys still sound like they did or better then they did when they recorded their hits. I always liked Dion's "Ruby Baby", Johhny Maestro still sounds just as good as he did back in the day and so does Randy of the Rainbows. These guys brought it when they hit the stage. Great music.

  • Still my favorite of his.

  • im fortunate enough to own all dions works and it never gets old, this is music at its best...

  • No Wonder he got into the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame!..110% True Talent!

  • Muito legal!

  • Wondefull :-D

  • ㊉NE ㊉₣ MҰ ₣RIENÐ CALLEÐ ÐI㊉N, ANÐ I WAS B㊉REÐ...

  • @MyH96 Hey! Did you know Dion did a cool song called The Wanderer? :)

  • @Tickedyboo well, I saw it... But I haven't heard it yet.. I'm lookin' forward to it..

    Thanks

  • @MyH96 You mean you were looking for videos of your friend, for another reason? ;)

  • THIS SUCH A TREAT WHAT GREAT SOUND THE LEGENDS LIKE DION AND THE BELMONTS LISTEN TO THAT I MET DION IN SAMASH MUSIC STORE SOMETIME BACK WHAT A COOL GUY HES THE BEST

  • These guys are still great! 

  • Dion is one of the very few that can change the song around a 1000 different ways and still make it sound great. Also the 2 backup guys sound great!

  • Wonderful memories,watch his interview with Raymond Arroyo on EWTN,he came back to the faith, look at him today,even better, God inspired him.

  • auto-tuning eat your heart out!

  • @tacomuybueno I agree that doo-wop is way better than the current crop of pop music that tunes auto-tuning technology to create a particular aesthetic. Auto-tuning was developed for live performance and this was likely auto-tuned. You can tell at the end when one of the backing guys falters, but it's perfectly in tune.

  • I would be jumping out of my damn seat to Dion and the Belmonts!!!

  • Still shit hot Grand 1st class

  • Great Song, even greater performance.

  • This is some good shit.

  • I love this :)

  • cowboy hat ??? come on man.

  • this song will never die!!!!

  • Simply Timeless! Music for the ages!...... Rap R.I.P.

  • wow see they looked really charming and stuff in the 50s now they look like people I would really not want to run into in a dark alley

  • @WarThug13 You were right both times.

  • theres magic in this video. its obvious in their faces. 

  • How old is Dion now? I'm thinking he must be around my age-63-the difference being that he can still sing on key, and I can't.

  • @Rockinghorserider1 Today is Dion's birthday. He turns... 72. Which would have made him 65 in this clip. Some guys have lost their voice: Elton John, Tom Jones, Cher. But Dion still sounds great.

  • Haha You can still see that kid from the 50's having so much fun performing with thee Belmonts in this performance. Dion never fades.

  • (oo)===V===(00) Christine is watching you! Everytime I hear this song, I think of the movie

  • I love doo wop. Good job guys.

  • GOD! digs DOO WOPS!

  • legandery after aw thows years and they still got it 10/10 magic

  • There is good music today as well, plenty of it. But I don't like how this sort of music is thrown aside, relegated to the dust bins, not even played on radio. Dion was one of the best, and still is.

  • the singer are cute as hell :D <3

  • those cant all be the original guys cause one of them look pretty young

  • @ndrdd23 Dion's the only original one here.

  • @overbrookXXX yea thats what i thought to

  • I also this song over and over love Dion

  • nice one rxba3u5

  • thet still sound the same.

  • Brilliant. Dion's voice and delivery has just got better with age. Gotta love that NY Bronx y'know.\

    Mikey xx

  • wat happend 2 da udder guy??

  • sucks I'm not a teen anymore... I remember it like it was just yesterday... I'm 20 years old now...

  • what ever happend to The Belmonts?

  • @NaiJorJul Did he die?

    

  • R.I.P. Dion

  • @L1S91 wtf? He's not dead or something

  • @Edis7771 Sorry to all fans of Dion... I mistook him for Johnny Maestro...Sorry

  • @bello1125 some more of the song begining with , each night i praysome how some way you'l hear this plea some how some way and come back home to me

  • @L1S91 ??????????????? what the fk??

  • Comment removed

  • What is wrong with this crowd? They should be moving..they look bored..love the oldies...Still great after all these years.

  • who are the backups?

  • Dion is still one of the all-time greats. I have his stuff from the 50's all the way to now, and the best sounds vital and creative no matter the era it came from.

  • Man, I wasn't expecting such a great performance from Dion in 2004! What great passion and great singing from his backup singers also-keep it up Dion!

  • DION YOU ARE THE FUCKING BESTTTTTTT THAT IT THE BEST LOVE ALL YOU SONGS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • Just Love Dion!

  • thank you for posting

  • This has a Texan sound to it.

  • Damn...he sounds great! God Bless Dion. 

  • great! I love  the oldies

  • sixstrings2 - in answer to your question about the doo-wop years, of course people were the same --good and bad, etc. People don't change BUT it was an age of innocence compared to today. Then, we didn't have instant information or communication, so we teenagers (as with adults) had more time to think not give immediate msgs. as today. And the music was always about love lost or won all in harmony, unlike much of the loud, angry, repetitive noise called "music" today.

  • In answer to your question, the base was Angelo Mastrengello, Johnny Maestro's cousin.

  • Angelo Mastrengello, Johnny Maestro's cousin

  • @stan13143 One of the original Belmonts was Carlo Mastrangelo, but he and the late Johnny Maestro (John Mastrangelo) were not related. Once a rumor gets started on the Internet, it just keeps going and going. Carlo has mentioned this on his Facebook page, and I was also told this by one of the guys in The Brooklyn Bridge (Johnny's group).

  • This is amazing

  • Haha, hvor er det sjovt at se. Fantastisk at de holder stilen frem til i dag :)

  • Dion always brings a tear and a smile to my face. Still remember when I saw him in Freedomland,in the Bronx,back in 1963. I was 12 years old and remember his performance of that day. God bless you,Dion!!!

  • hhhhh

  • One of the best Doo Wop songs of all time!

    Amazing these guys still have that sound!

    Timeless classic!

  • i love it <3 They are the best :D

  • will justin beiber sound this good in 50 years,,,,,,,,,, does he sound this good now !!!!!!!!!! great band, great upload ,

  • @franreilley It's that never-ending cycle... OUR music is great, THEIR music is crap... our parents hated our music, said that THEIR music was what is good... WE love OUR music and hate our kids' music, because ours is good and theirs is crap... and so on and so on... truth is... what is good, lasts. What isn't... doesn't. Dion is 70-something now. Will we see Justin Bieber in 50 years? Me thinks not.

  • @kb6kgx , dion performed when singers had to perform , i was born in the 70s and grew up in the 80s , in ireland , but 50s music is great , my favorite is still irish music , songs and stories , but the 50s is a close match ,

  • @kb6kgx Wrong, I hate todays music and prefer the 50's and 60's.... Im 32 :D

  • @miscuser69 I was making a generalization, of course. In general, kids find their own music and distance themselves from the music of their parents. How else can you explain the popularity of some off these groups today who do nothing but scream and make noise? Yes, that's what MY parents said about The Beatles and what came after them. And, before that, they were calling Rhythm & Blues "jungle music", not the "good" music like Sinatra and Como. Yes, there are exceptions, everywhere.

  • they knew how to make music, this even sound better today

  • great and hypeddt2 I think most ppl enjoy this music to be honest. I know ppl who listen to black metal and I know ppl listening to reggae but everyone seems to enjoy this kinda music. it's just that not many ppl today get to get to the front to show off their skills in this epic music catagory.

  • What the younger generation doesn't realize is these guys had the talent.......they didn't have the technology to enhance their voices or the music. What you see is what you get.......many bands today have dubbing or overlay in live performances or back tracks.....If I had the technology today I'd be a superstar in the 50s LOL

  • Christine

  • haha im 14 and im in love with oldies<3! a lost old soul stuck in this year

  • There is more talent in these three gentlemen who are still at the top of their game 50 years later, than there is in any of the rapper, hip hopper reciters today. Notice I said reciters, not singers.big difference, right? This is great!!!

  • @RXBA3U5 The old school rap is good, it's just this new school shit. It's wank!

  • @RXBA3U5 I WASNT FROM THERE TIME BUT MY MOTHER AND FATHER WERE AND WE ALL LIVED IN NORTHEN NEW JERSEY AND NJ AND NY WERE THE HOT SPOTS FOR THIS TYPE OF MUSIC AND IM A GREAT FAN AND I REALY INJOY THERE MUSIC AND YOUR RIGHT RAP DOSNT EVEN COME CLOSE TO THIS I NEVER GOT THAT WERE THERE RAPING ABOUT HOs AND DRUGS AND MONEY CAN YOU SEE THEM WHEN THERE OLD STILL GETTING DOWN TO THAT KIND OF MUSIC LOL LMAO

  • @grizzleybearz282004 They'll try to get down, if they live that long....and when they get down, they'll stay down until somebody hauls them to the hospital.

  • @RXBA3U5 ya right lol

  • @RXBA3U5 I dont think the backups have been "into their game" for 50 years. Theyre in their 30s or 40s at best.

  • @RXBA3U5 But Im right there with you that theyre very good, Dion's always tops.

  • Doo Wop is great music people --- Dion has been through the wars & is a survivor ---These are not The Belmonts but the song has great impact --- enjoy folks !

  • god some of you people ,NO its NOT the belmonts read the comments jezz i have this dvd 4 years now and that was a gift anyways listen to a star dion always makes the magic happen just like frankie valli or in your lots case the jersey boys TUT TUIT

  • i wonder if the one in the cowboy hat is so stoned he needs to support himself with his band mates...lolol

  • Movie "Christine"!!!

    

  • True Blue Soul Brothers

  • Yo! I’m 12 and this is ONE of my favourite types of music, the first time I heard this song was when I watched "A Bronx Tale" with Chazz Palminteri.. I like rap/hip-hop ect-.. but not this new school shit, Biggie and Pac ect ect are the ones I listen to.

  • is that the belmonts with him

  • The guy with the bandana is such a badass!

  • who is the base singer??/

  • christine

  • Di, you sound great. The. Dovells, Jerry G

  • anythng else pales to this...top of the top..doo wop forever

  • holy crap hes still alive?

  • The Legend lives on.

  • Oh - to be a teenager again!!!

  • I'm only 41 but I've always loved oldies!

  • @boxingin only 41 lol? i can understand that im 23. i listen from this to brenton wood delfonics to chi-lites everything u name it.

  • He's lucky he never got on that plane with Buddy Holly, Ritchie Vanels and J.P ( The Big Bopper )v Richardson other wise younger kids like me wouldn't have found him. Let Rock and Roll live on!!!.

  • We use to hurry home fron school when bandstand had a big name on like Dion.

    They would always lipsynce and we knew it but he was one of the top acts where both guys and girls liked him.

    Elvis was another.

  • It's because Dion got his act together that I now have his facebook page. 

  • This is 46 years after his hit in 1958! Amazing!

  • is that the belmonts with him ?

  • I've always loved Dion and the Belmonts. I just happened to click on this clip about two hours ago. I can't stop listening to it! What a powerful version from the 1958 version. There Harmonies are so tight! and the band is right in there with them. A for sure keeper!

  • best music ever made. dont care what anyone says. no one can beat this

  • absolutely amazing!!! if ya lie down listening to this really loud with ya eyes shut you actually feel like ya out of the bronx tale movie!! lol classic

  • If they used a piano and not a guitar then I would of had liked it...

  • Dion's still got it!!!!!!!!!!

  • IMO the greatest Doo Wop song (original version) ever. And this one's not to shabby either.

  • is that the original Belmonts?? sure sound good!

  • Never get tired of hearing this song.  It just does something to me. I can play it over and over like I'm a teenager again. And that's not easy to do when you're 68!

  • @stan13143 So you were born around 1943, so I guess you probably remember just about all of the 50's so I want to ask you... Was the world really that much different back then? I mean, there was still rape, murder, drugs, bad parents, stealing, racism, bad language and crappy weather... Granted I know that it wasn't as in your face as it is now, but it was still there right??

  • @stan13143 And yet "you did it"! Keep the music alive my friend, This is a time that will never pass again. Songs had a message, a story in the middle and a great end. Wow !!! Caprice

  • WONDERFULL !!!!Génial!!!HQ THX

  • has anyone got the music sheet of this song? Please, I need it
