@luvmuzk This video looks 70s to me. . Must have been a retro special. Searchers in the early-mid 60s had much shorter hair, looked very much like the Beatles, w/ dark suits, narrow peg-legged pants.
Good point! As far as I'm concerned, Mike Pender IS The Searchers. He sang many of the original hits and was an integral part of their sound and style. Listen to Mike's work on the two comeback albums The Searchers made for Sire Records and you will fully understand. The current touring version of The Searchers sounds like a lifeless bar band with old fat guys compared to Mike Pender's Searchers.
I think 1971-1972, yes i had bell bottoms then, The war was still on and so was the draft. I had a us flag on a back pocket, un aware of the crap I got for having it there.
My mom got calls, kicked out of a few stores......I just liked the flag....had no clue lol
This was a Tv Special from about 78, when I was in high school. It was called 'Echoes of the 60's'. Had a lot of the groups from back then in interviews and performance clips. I played it to death on betamax when I recorded it. They also did Love Potion Number nine.
This may have been 1972.. the band re-recorded 'Needles' for RCA & released it as a single that year ! Why they are using the 1964 version is puzzling !
your correct my friend. They where another mersybeat group (darn good one) record companies tried to cash in on after the Beatles success, About the same timeframe as Billy Joe Kramer & the Dakotas,n Gerry (Marsden) and the Pacemakers [Ferry across the Mersy] I dig this stuff but i grew up with it.
@wjhmosaenglish03 This song was released as a Searchers recording in January of 1964 in the USA. Jackie DeShannon had recorded it earlier, in 1963. Written by Sonny Bono. And, for the youngsters who weren't around then, bell bottoms appeared with Sonny and Cher way back in the '60's.
@baseballeddie1177 Its from the 1964. right at the beginning of the vid theres a thing that comes up and says the band name and year. Not to mention in the upper right hand corner of the screen its says 60's hits

Yes, because that is surely NOT Chris Curtis in this video; yet the audio is his drumming.

when is this from--I am guessing 1976 or 1977. The bell bottoms where primarily from those 2 years.
