  • Never heard them do this one before

  • Wow -- they didn't look or sound anything like the did in the 60's. For me, a Searchers without Chris Curtis as the Front Man, can never be complete. They had 3 outstanding singers. Chris was very well spoken and had the confidence to be the front man from behind the drums. We DO miss you, Chris and Tony. I don't know why John didn't do more lead singing, but he was the founding member, so he must have had something to say about the decisions.

  • I saw them perform neil young's "Southern Man" at the London Palladium in 1972 . They were support act to the Everly Brothers, along with Dave Loggins.

  • this song is not of one band call America?

  • This was part of their live act in the 80's. Pity they dropped it. Went down a storm in the night clubs.

  • Great guitar work on this one !!

    dbailey - 7 nights to rock is tons better done by Springsteen on the stage !!

  • John McNally actually decided to do "Seven Nights ... " after attending a Springsteen concert in New York (I believe it was). IIRC, they met backstage after the show and discussed the song.

  • btw., if you want to listen to a band that has three singers singing in perfect harmony and one of these guys is a super guitarist too, look for Crosby, Pevar & Raymond (CPR) here on YouTube, e.g. " It's all coming back ..."

  • Hey, tronvierundzwanzig, thanks for sharing this video.

    Seems you have sort of a Fort Knox with lots of Searchers Gold!

    Was John McNally right from the beginning the solo guitarist of the Searchers? Or was this initially the job of Mike Pender?

    Because, while John is a phantastic rhythm guitarist, he has some hard time with finding the right notes and phrasing on melody guitar.

  • John started as rhythm guitar but took over on lead guitar from Mike in the 80's

  • Wow, is this really the Searchers?!?!

    John's the Man. Too bad somebody decided he wasn't "good enough" to front the band in early times...

  • Ya, I'm one of those folks who would like to see John take a few more lead vocals. He is doing "Seven Nights To Rock" now though.
