  • Wow! I really love The Animals version, but damn, they play this freaking fabulous!

  • The next issue of 'Shindig' magazine should have a piece on The Twilights according to the promo on their site.

  • @B17b25guy Yes, there is a great interview with John Bywaters, their bass player.

  • For some this is history, for me, I saw this band live many times in my youth, Terry Britten playing Sitar in Festival Hall in Brisbane. One of my favourites from my youth....still good after all these years.

  • Hi!!! Sorry for the late reply. I did get that dvd you sent me. I love the cover you put on it. Thank you so much!!! All my brothers are also extremely appreciative. It is amazing to have footage of him playing that old slingerland. I still have the drum kit that is on this video too!!

    Thanks again!!

  • This is great footage!!! My dad is the drummer in this footage! I dont have any video of when he played with The Twilights. I have alot of audio tapes but no footage. Any chance i can get ahold of some of this footage LeonThe4th? My dad (Frank Barnard) passed away a few years back and would be good to get a collection together.

    Thanks again for this upload, it means alot.

  • @TheMungiman Hi again, I sent you the DVD over Xmas, but haven't heard anything from you...so I'm assuming you never got it? Noel

  • @TheMungiman Super cool! I only discovered the band recently. i was surfing for Garage Rock etc on Youtube.I loooooove them. Got any interesting facts about them to tell me? Cheers

  • Wow - this version is awesome!

  • Glenn had a great mop of hair but is now bald, but doesn't try and hide it with a stupid hat like a lot of others

  • @debiedog1 I saw him for the first time in years in the reunion DVD. He looks like ME now! but the funny thing is I didn't look anything like him when I was young. I was bald by the time I was 23.

  • What year did this come out????

  • May 1966, their 4th single whilst still based in Adelaide. 6 weeks later in June 1966 they released Bad Boy/It's Dark...by then they were living in Melbourne, so they issued yet another single, this time "Needle In A Haystack" (in Aug 1966). That 45 went to No.1 all over Australia...the rest is history...By the way, I showed this clip to Terry Britten a couple of years back, and he said it was their first TV appearance anywhere (Channel 9, Tynte St, Nth Adelaide), and that he'd never seen it!

  • @LeonThe4th Thanks a million for the info!!!!

  • Thanks a million!!

  • Absolutely Superb!!!

  • whats the point of that guy standing next to the bassist lol is he the host?

  • That's the great Paddy McCartney ! He was the joint lead singer with Glenn Shorrock and would normally stand with Glenn at the front, but as time progressed, was pushed into the background.

  • He was (and is) a brilliant singer having amazed Adelaide crowds several years back when The Twilights reunited for a gig at our Entertainment Centre when he did an amazing version of  "She's Leaving Home " (Beatles song) as the entire 1st half of the show was them covering Beatles songs...

  • His dual vocals were a huge part of the Twilight's "sound"...vocal harmonies etc...without him they would not have sounded quite so full...vocally.

  • okay, haha thanks for all the information. Well I'm jealous I wasn't around for that time.

  • Love it...Top Tastc...!!!

  • AWESOME!!!!!

  • Thanks for posting this! It has a great Yardbirds/ Who freak out at the end!

  • Wow. Great stuff. Ahead of their time. How come I never heard of them? Too good maybe.

  • this is the single version...their version on early e.p is different with less punch

  • and the finale shows: these are pioneers of punk ! unbelievable

  • ab 1.44 geht echt der punk ab - great

  • its harder (and better) than the version of eric burdon. thank you !

  • fantastic !! and the video quality is great
