The Zombies - She's not there

[samster92]

I wish I could've experienced the '60s like my parents did. Music sure was better back then.

[cooliesass]

Tunes of this era seemed to be so simple...yet, they grab onto one's soul and never let go...

[strawsoftware]

after listened some '60 & '70 bands, then realised that todays music sucks as hell

[222Loobylou]

I love this song

[pdorn777]

Love that bass line!

[shoegazevolt]

u.u

[RainAmaya45]

That bass riff at 0:37, oh goodness. Makes my knees weak.

[Incomplete6230]

Great bass!

[hkyoutoob]

They had all the cool gear in those days: LUDWIG, GRETSCH, GIBSON, VOX organ, prime ingredients of many 60's groups.

[joostverwoerd]

That keyboard solo is killer!

[grb321]

The vocalist is really interesting. He's singing in a

pretty high register and in the verse sounds kind of

delicate. Then he opens it up in the chorus and

the character of his voice really changes. Musicianship

of the band is high, too.

[MusicPredominates]

@grb321 : Whatever this piece / composition is, it is SOMETHING ! Thankyou for your comments.

[brian6078]

@MusicPredominates Yes this really something.To be #2 for 12 weeks back then was really something.

[MusicPredominates]

@brian6078 : When I state @SOMETHING@ I mean that this composition is so hard to categorise but it is SOME THING that is bigger than it's mere self.

[BEACHGUY10]

I love this record, first time I saw this video , kind of scary had to stop watching and just listen..Cheers

[thanasakable]

she late she say you 're sorry

[emma88360]

Il as pris trop d'hormones.....

[soniag1000]

I'm 15 and my girlfreind's13 and we're in an amusement arcade and I've just put money in the juke box to play this. Now i'm 62 and I still get transported back to that young boy with his conquest when I hear this....Thank you so much

[Planbebra]

beatles are there

[loldacz]

Brainsss!!!

[hitherehowyoudo]

Epic fail on the bass riff at about 0:40. XD

[Jemo18]

@hitherehowyoudo its 1st sign of drum and bass :D

[hitherehowyoudo]

@Jemo18 Yeah but it was so quiet i thought they missed it.

[BeatleFreak97]

This man pulls off a Harrison hair-cut almost as well as the real deal ;D

[SkidRowJosephine]

How many '60s bands was Bill Gates in!? There's TWO of 'em in this one!

[alexandrsiegen]

@SkidRowJosephine that's actually brilliant. cant stop giggling. thanks :)

[Maelianane]

merci!.... ;)

[alenbomb]

dude colin looks crazy cool.. sexy and mesmerizing

[sodapopnelson]

is it me or does the lead singer kinda look like josh hartnett (the guy who played opposite to ben affleck in Pearl harbor) for lke the first 30 secs

[papafirelin]

Looks like Glee is the really killer of this great number

[PostihBorka]

wow he's gay

[trisky1234]

The theme of my life right now.. Man..!!

[OneRealOG]

awesome song and band

[raydog699]

She's here, bitch. Get over iyt.

[philipm06]

They all look like accountants on a night out - but what fun.

[rorigiles]

This was a very scary song when I first heard it!

[davidmobrien]

Colin Blunstone on Lead Vocals-later played on various albums with The Alan Parsons Project...Rod Argent on Organ-later formed Argent (Hold Your Head UP-God Gave Rock n Roll To You), then played with The Who and in 2006 toured with Ringo Starr...Paul Atkinson on Guitar-became an executive, discovering and signing such bands as ABBA, Bruce Hornsby, Mr. Mister, Judas Priest...he died at age 58 in 2004 in Santa Monica, Ca...liver disease...

[Poopaloo55]

@davidmobrien An extraordinary talent, and yet when I mention his name it is rarely recognised. ' Caroline Goodbye' and 'When I'm Old And Wise' are masterpieces.

[davidmobrien]

Chris White on Bass-later, as a record company A&R man, he was instrumental in discovering the band Dire Straits...Hugh Grundy on Drums-he's been touring with The Zombie's over the years and they plan a new studio album and tour this spring.

[ABlake77]

the keyboardist looks like Jim Morrison

[nelemak]

screaming teenage girls, they never change :p

[fondoogle]

watch?v=46CNp89_52Y

[ap0lls]

Anyone else remember the remixed version from the Kill Bill soundtrack?

[ladyfuschia]

This song is in a great movie: "The Long Kiss Goodnight".

[refbiz]

What was the video of Terri Garr, in shes not there, looking so sexy in a series of vids, like Bus Stop and Whiter Shade of Pale and others.

[mjcclz]

Great song, great band!

[flaviolima91]

The backing vocals on the chorus and the e.piano solo are just so amazingly musical. Pop groups nowadays can't even play their instruments, or sing nice harmonies like that.

[flaviolima91]

shit yeah!

[Byrd801]

excellent performance!!!! one of the best songs in the sixties.

[RedHeadVicky]

It just doesn't get any better than this!

[pursiajanet]

These guys were great. Groovey

[Rob9666]

What a Wonderful, rare find !!! Phenomenal !!

[onetrueslave]

i think i just came. fuckin' AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! thank you for posting this. 8-)```

[SeattleLA]

The Zombies, so great, fresh, alive, just as relevant today. They are touring nowadays, mostly in UK.

[briancristopher]

just a quick question....where is she? did she leave, or is she really out of it on drugs? thx =)

[briancristopher]

@briancristopher maybe they got in a fight and left??

[zero15541554]

1960-1970= best generation of music, ever.

[shaneh1983]

great song

[SeattleLA]

One of my favorite bands, they should be more well-known. The airy, light vocals of Colin; the amazing organ of Rod; tricky key signatures, all add up to a very unique group.

[aclie]

no way, i did not know this was a 60's song!

no wonder i like it, it was the best decade for music

this is so jazzy and edgy it would still rank if rereleased today

<3 <3 <3

[fingerandskateboard]

this waz alright compared to santana's

[iCHUCK69]

i was13 when this came out.....what a great song,,,and it was THE start of everything hitting the fan. the music to come day after day, month to month, year to year,,,was the greatest music of all time...i was SOOO lucky to have been there. thanks mom, thanks dad.

[uppitynigger]

ladiee gaga with a penus, thats all it is

[Mhthijssen]

Kees, drummer van Tim?

Gaaf dat je OOK fan bent van Colin Blunstone.

She`s not there in natuurlijk super goed, 3 weken terug dit nog zien spelen door The Zombies. Jaren 60 en 70 muziek waren geweldig. Geniet er nog steeds van met de LP`s van toen.

[dadisgreat1]

See our version of "She's not there" on our channel - top right hand side.

[25cid]

Reminds me of the ed sullivan show with ed holding his arms and announcing a reallly big show with the zombies playing their hit song she's not there. great stuff.

[ikillu926]

Damn!! These guys are really energetic. Really gets your heart moving.

[diodepio]

great artist, Blunstone

[Renabulous]

good times, i head this on the radio today and played it through the terrible static. It was great, as always.

[tgodbey101]

ill bet all of them where getting more pussy than anyone here.including me.

[thealiraysoosay]

@tgodbey101 yep probaly , mostly from 14 year old girls like me ...the beatles took a little pressure off their fan base though its hard to pick if the zombies and the beatles were in the same room which band would i flash

[wallyguitar666]

Wow, including you? You, the master of pussy-getting? THAT'S impressive.

[88Sublime96]

@tgodbey101 I don't know man I have like seven cats.

[keesschaper]

@JiS01 Haha!

[Daveyohwhat]

@JiS01 I think that Santana's version is more refined and technically superior, but could be considered pretentious in comparison to the simple genuine feeling of the original. Many covers are pretentious, though.

[edobriensgrin]

@JiS01 i really don't see why you've received so many negative votes - you've not said anything bad. (I like Santana too but prefer this version)

[DreamPark9]

Great band, lousy name...*

[ejeevika]

с этими смешными движениями руками он морриарти напоминает

[IAPPEARINVISIBLE]

This is a KILLER performance! The energy is intense...

Thanks for posting this!

[kujo839]

@IAPPEARINVISIBLE you are exactly right

[cessna65423]

@IAPPEARINVISIBLE I agree. After all these years this video performance and song still put out megajoules of energy.

[jread021]

That is an impressive eyebrow....haha

[xMichaelxGreenx]

what a great song. My personal favourite for vocal warm-ups and soundchecks!

[GDscissorhandedgurl]

I fell in love with this song last year. No regrets or complaints.

[JannoKlufs]

I love Zombies, and I guess they are in the collection of most underrated bands in the history...

[Maxurai2222]

What TV show was this on?

[usblueflyer]

PRIMO!! A FAVORITE!!

Thanks for posting!!!

[aldichiara]

I bet the lead singer got his ass kicked in school all the time.

[Ynot1666]

This is my runaway favourite song from the time. It just captures my mood in 1964.

Yes they are dressed like the pre-psychedelic 1960s - but then in 1964 the Beatles dressed that way too!

[tincaptain]

Colin Blunstone.........what a great unusal voice backed by a great group!

[JRM515]

The lead singer would be Colin Blunstone. I'm normally not the dude who corrects people in the comments, but Rod Argent was the baddest fucking keyboardist of his time, and one of my favorites overall. Great band, it's a shame they didn't last long. Underrated as well, I don't bother bringing them up in conversation anymore as the person I'm speaking to usually replies with, "The Zombies? Oh, you mean White Zombie!" I'm surprised I wasn't called a poser by getting White Zombie's name wrong.

[BlueSilverStars]

Don't you hate when nobody recognizes the name of one of your favorite bands?

I love the Alan Parsons Project but nobody outside my family even knows who they were

[ripejack]

The baddest keyboardist of his time? You have to be kidding...Rod Argent is a musical genius and a true original.

[JRM515]

That''s actually what I meant. "Bad" is a slang word for "awesome." At least where I'm from. Sorry bout that. But he was (and is) indeed a genius and definitely one of the absolute best.

[joeyjojo44]

@ripejack

I think he meant "baddest" in a good way.

[ripejack]

well that's just silly. Why not just say he's a good keyboard player? I don't want to be picky but "baddest" would normally be taken to mean "worst" in the English language. Anyway...having met Mr Argent a few times, I'll say he's not only a GREAT keyboard player but one of the most unassuming people I've met. AsJRM says, one of the absolute best. Awesome in fact! hahaha.

[CasaCamuzzi]

I LOVE YOUGUYS! :0

[Sashawood6]

Anyone else get chills when they hear this song??...Don't know what it is, just kinda haunting, I guess.

[charmingasalways]

@Sashawood6 yeah I do get chills...thought it was just me...lol

[3NUNS]

@Sashawood6 : I do and it's such a beautiful song. Hugs.

[bluzelovr]

@Sashawood6 Yep, I love it too! One of those songs that personified the sixties - totally groovey!

[Tonithenightowl]

@Sashawood6 Don't know if you were there for the inception but I was and we americans were blown away by this music. We had nothing like this.

[Bebopchiflow]

his voice is amazing

[seabolt62]

Love the ZOMBIES!!!!!!!!

[ekimkamidar377]

oh Rod Argent how cool was he then?

[zamboni1732]

i love the music and rod argents vocals but they really should of came up with a better name because their music is everything but a monster.

today's artists like gwen stefani and all of them should be called the zombies (they sound dead too)

[meowthno1]

The lyrics are amazing poetry. The melody and accompaniment are finely crafted. Who cares how they dressed? I lived through the era and, believe me, we all bathed.

[callmekrysia]

Jeeze, go to any high school and you'll see the fashion 'uniforms' of the moment. It's just a good song performed really well. So hairstyles and fashion looked alike in that era? Ummm...not like now huh? Why does everyone have to get so defensive about good music? Relax. Enjoy.

[SilverandSilent111]

i love how all the 60's bands started to copy the hairstyles and fashion from the beatles.

[joshlegleiter]

WELL. Since the Beatles RIPPED OFF the style of the German art scene, you can't really credit them with shit.

[lasfinisimas]

ya...the exies

[sapphiretaurus]

@joshlegleiter They didn't rip off the German art scene. Those art student friends encouraged them to style their hair that way. The suits were a styll every rocker back then wore.

[shamanofsexy90]

beatlesi meant sorry well anyway do u think if odessey and oracle didnt flop u think they would of stayed together and what would they have sounded like

[shamanofsexy90]

oh i always thought they were copying the beatlexin suits i thought mod fashion was like like the who and the mod cut hair style

[damron13]

The British Invasion changed music and pop culture forever !

[PoutinePete]

They're well dressed Hippies....but I'm sure they still didn't bathe much! Anyway, as much as I dislike filthy Hippies, I have to admit they really knew how to make great music. This song has to be one of the coolest tunes from the 60's. Why can't today's musicians come up with good tunes?

[laniwilliamson]

If you don't know don't judge. I sure the Zombies bathe a lot.

[jackkoffin1]

You're confused, this was from a few years before the hippie thing got big. They're dressed in Mod fashion, a style that died out because of the hippie movement.

[JimmySmers]

This song is pre-hippie, they are dressed for the early 60's which had more in common with the 50's.

[garagegil]

great song  ..... what can i do?

[drnrg31]

I totally got them confused. He could be his long lost twin. Even his movements resemble those of Chevy. This is my second fav song from 1965 next only to HELP!

[MartinDF]

It's actually from 1964...

[Hikikomori013]

The vocals seem a little thinner than I remember. Did they do another version with more power back then, or is it just the reproduction in the broadcast?

[CaDreamersBand]

is it just me, or does Rod Argent look like a young Chevy Chase...?!

[drnrg31]

shave the eyebrows

[mylesmedlin55]

haha the zombies kick ass

that was right b4 the guitar player was the main muscian on stage. back then keyboard players got the most pussy haha

[elpato97]

any body knows if this song appeR IN TV SHOW????

[angelmatthew2004]

there was a re-work of this song by Malcolm McClaren for the movie "Kill Bill Vol.2"

[caligulaguy]

realy good song

[smokiebird06]

And he did a great job with the Alan Parsons Project, too.

[pointtherocky]

zombies are at irving plaza nyc and westbury ny next week. cool.

[wouldntyoulike2know]

Someone please tell me the name of this lead singer. He's sexy. :)

[keesschaper]

Colin Blunstone.

[wouldntyoulike2know]

Thank you! Now I can have a name to go with the face. :)

[Perimir]

He's a faggot!

[Perimir]

@wouldntyoulike2know He's a faggot!

[wouldntyoulike2know]

@Perimir I don't freaking care, he's still hot.

[lalanz8]

@wouldntyoulike2know

His name is Colin Blunstone and he was the lead singer of the Zombies. Huge UK group in the 1960s. They have since re-formed. PS They made this a big hit before Santana

[wouldntyoulike2know]

@lalanz8 Thank you. You know, I never even knew that Santana did this song...I don't actually listen to them, but it is cool to know. And thanks for telling me who he is. :)

[Ikaguah34]

Heh, my sister thought it was Davy Jones singing... Colin does look a little like Davy here, now that I think about it.

[mnpd007]

I get the part about the guy's useless buddies who didn't tell him he was getting involved with the town punchboard who would break his heart.

The "she's not there", and "don't bother trying to find her" is open to interpretation. I suppose he could have capped the lying, cheating 'ho. Or, she just ran off. I knew some bitches just like that in the 60's.

Interesting on the killing her theory! I never thought of it that way. Thanks for bringing that up! :)

But, I nee

[rellik781redrum]

the song is about a chimpanzee that died at a local zoo

[dianesehoward]

haven't heard this since high school - loved it!

[mtwallet]

I wonder how Argent can make his Vox Continental sound like a Wurlitzer, ha!

[marchomeslice]

Rod's still using his beloved Hohner Piantette on the actual recording. So if it's a lype-synched performance, which is likely.. we're hearing the Pianette & seeing the Vox. Sorry to be a geek.. Just finished reading Hung Up On A Dream :)

[mtwallet]

thanks for the info, I didn't know about the hohner organ

[jordanuhiskewl]

awesome song!!!...his hand motions are freaking aweosme lol!

[completeberd]

What the??? This song ain't about murder! This song's about a flaky girl who ran off like a hippie and did whatever she felt like. They are saying it's too late you say you're sorry means his friends could of warned her about what she was like before all this stuff happened

[skydog70]

They were way ahead of their time, and no, she probably wasn't murdered, she is just too beautiful to stick around...

[theladywriter]

You know, I' ve heard this song a lot over the last 40 years, and I've just now realized it may be a "I've murdered my cheating girlfriend and done everyone a favor" song. These were sure a bunch of spooky-cool boys.

[1uppy]

wow indeed, you're so right. I never heard that in it before

[PhelanKA7]

Well they were called the ZOMBIES ;D

[plonkerfest]

Twisted Wheel did a version of this and gave it out free on 7" vinyl, incredible song

[Barciad]

That was far and away the single best pop track written at the time. It would be another year before Paul McCartney wrote 'Yesterday'. That is how ahead of it's time 'She's not there' actually was. The Zombies should have been huge.

[MSBRENDAJ]

Rod wrote all of their hit songs. It's sad that he was positioned so far away from the group that he barely shows up on this vid.

[neoconsnightmare3]

when they made this song, they were FAR AND AWAY superior to anything coming out of britain, including the beatles.

now, 1965 came along, and the beatles started kicking all kinds of azz, but for a short time, in my humble opinion, all of their 1964 stuff paled in comparison to 'she's not there'. frankly, none of their 1965 stuff was SUPERIOR.

[MSBRENDAJ]

At least we know that The Zombies were the first band of the british invasion. I've done my homework, and I can tell you that they paved the way.

[sapphiretaurus]

@MSBRENDAJ How did you came across that? There were hundreds of bands all over England stemming from the late fifties. The Zombies formed in 1963.

[delacyfans]

omg im 14 and i lurrvvee this song!!!!!

[momike99]

great band, IMO, never gets the recognition they deserve. I know Rod Agent had a succesful solo career, what ever happened to Colin Bllodstone?

[zombfan]

Colin Blunstone had a solo career too. Very successful in Belgium and Holland. He's receiving a lot of airplay over here with his recent cd The Ghost of You and Me.

[RhythmDroid]

way more people need to discover the genius of The Zombies.

[blkdaliamurder9000]

fuck yeah im drinking a beer, buzzed, and listening to the zombies, damn it doesnt get any better than this!

[drgreenthumb0293]

yeah thats cool

[jondaken]

Superb.

[mightywind88]

Wow! Thanks for posting. One of my favourite songs of all time. Blundstone, Argent. They were so far ahead of the trend at the time. Hard to believe this is from 1964?

5 stars!!

[dodecopus]

is this performance lip synced or played to the studio track, or are the versions just that similar.

[fralarte]

The cutie singer has a great nose,mouth everything!!!!

[NcicHit]

One of my favorite songs ever. I have a remix of it that is groovy.
