CLIFF RICHARD & THE SHADOWS - What I'd Say (1963)

[mefaresh01]

The big mystery is that you can't see any leads....And I don't think they were already using emitters from the guitars to the amplifiers in 1963-1964 ????

[Karharias]

That year onwards had the Shadows and Cliff into a new style, haircuts etc. At the same time as the Beatles were growing their styles in Liverpool.

Historic!

[oopsadaze]

Pure Showmanship Ray Charles and James Brown would be proud!

[MrBEB123]

@oopsadaze Who cares about that? 

[Diogenes1360]

I say, Mr. Charles? Fancy a package of Crisp?

[Diogenes1360]

Yeah, to have been young and in England before 1964.

[galantvoiz]

best performance of cliff r. ever

[guitaaress]

What I find most interesting is the absence of stage foldback monitors. We relied on hearing the front of house PA in those days. Ah the memories of feedback and not being able to hear youself!

[mssusan1961]

You gotta love these guys...

[JasonGohGuKa59]

Versatile!

[boxferret]

Love the guy at 4:07!! - They had stage divers in 1963!!!

[MegaGrigoryan]

He is best

[jazzboxpete58]

Cool!!!

[Kramnosnits]

I wish I'd have thought of taking an umbrella to a rock 'n' roll show!

[termistor]

how I wish there was such a concert somewhere in here

[sludgefingers]

Well I never, Sir Cliff in cool and credible rock vid - shock horror

[M55ikael]

I like how the guards just throw people back into their seats instead of throwing them out.

[skodas]

it was 1964 hank john a bruce have burns guitars

[donletmedon]

No, this was around or late 1965. They're didn't yet wear this rather 'mop top' kind hairstyle in 1964

[shadogie59]

If you notice, bruce and john have White burns and hank is using a green sunburst Burs his white one is on the side

[Kramnosnits]

Those guitars are all Torino Red, can't you see that ?

[59Mrfreeze]

@Kramnosnits No this is the Burns era of the shadows if you look Hank is playing a 12 stringed burns John and Bruce are on the white burns marvin.

[simonlilley]

@Kramnosnits Looking at this, I would date in from 1965. Firstly the Shadows are playing Burns guitars which they started using from late 63/early 64 and also their haircuts which are probably a bit long for 1963. Lastly the line up is the Marvin Welch Bennett Rostill one. John Rostill the bass player didnt join until 10th Nov 63, given the need for rehearsal time 1963 is unlikely.Great clip I have to say.

[latefor]

this is later than 1963 maybe 1967

[floppybollox3]

@latefor no, '64-'66, just before Beatles exploded, but it's a Ray Charles tune from '59.

[PAULLONDEN]

Were went that beautyfull quiff ?

He saw The Beatles coming ?

By the way....this was filmed in the

Houtrust Hallen in Holland,The audience

[spakey]

[ibnasalaamah]

He wasn't religious in 1963  though i don't think .

[Yesimustbestupid2]

Yeah, right!  I'm sure Cliff wouldn't have minded the women's undies on stage w/ him.

[gibb253]

Right - not many clips of Hank using the double-six around, pity it's not louder!

[Yesimustbestupid2]

That's what I was thinking. I guess Cliff was the wet dream of many gay guys, too? I bet those young women up front really had a mess in their underpants after this performance. -:) I'm surprised one of them didn't take off their undies and throw it on to the stage.

[clifffan]

this is from Holland and remember it was before the beatles and Cliff was very hot that time

[lighthousecollector]

they certainly treated him in a rough manner

[lighthousecollector]

great clip -love the crowd control at the end.
