This was an alltime favourite I had been married 1 year my hubby was in the army and had just been posted to aden i sent this request to a radio station bfpo for servicemen not expecting it to be chosen i said the message was in the song i was mortifieed when it was read out on the station.we had 10 years marriage but later divorced But we remained friends for over 30 years until his death.
The 45 version of this record is so good I never thought I would see a live performance as good as the record. Probably am correct, but this live version is damn close to as perfect. They sound great on this.
Went to a club called the 400 club by the harbour in Torquay England in 1967 when the Tremeloes were there. I was 18. Listening to it now brings it back as though it was yesterday.
And to think they are live. No pre-recorded lip-sync stuff. And they still sound great in harmony and instrumentation on an open stage. Do they even have feedback? Can't tell.
you see the tall guy trying to hit on the blonde at the start of the video? he's biting his finger nails, thinking "this isn't going well, is it?" LOL!!!
You won't find a better example of vocal harmonies than this. Anywhere. Yeah, it's very easy now to scoff at the idea that Decca chose them over the Beatles, but there's a hell of a lot of talent here, and the Beatles sort of blossomed into their talent after they signed. At this point, there was precious little to choose between them. Fair play to Decca, though history would prove them wrong. They certainly wouldn't be the first or the last.
@progrockcoffee - these were not the original Tremeloes - this is from 1967, they restarted without frontman Brian Poole but kept the previous three and added Chip Hawkes on bass :)
@progrockcoffee Wow! What a trip, never knew that... Well they must have made SOME money off this band, I mean these guys ain't bad and I well remember their music and this tune especially...great harmony!
@Tarn1968 In those days..from which I originate(ha ha!)..many guitar Amplifiers had a a built in effect on the panel(Tremolo) controled by a knob or two, to adjust intensity & speed.The effect varied the straight forward signal(note) to a wavey kind of thing(similar to raising & lowering volume knob).It really was a crappy effect but these guys probably liked the sound of the word and it was kind of new,
@merseybeat1963 Yeah - I remember the tremolo effect when my friends brought their amps over. This group was so good in this video - almost like the record!!
Paul was asked what does he think of todays bands..He replied GIVE THEM A SET OF DRUMS 2GUITARS AND A BASS AND SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO>>There will never ever be THE SIXTIES MAN
@stoker20 GARAGE - this was a very big song - I was about 11 - but remember it very well & now all this time later - can see what the people looked like behind this Top 40 hit on my little transistor radio.
at times i hate tht The Beatles 'threw' these gud stuffs. back wen i first started to listen to oldies, i only knew of them and elvis. it was much l8r i heard more worthy songs.
@Tarn1968 A tremelo is part of a guitar also know as a wammy bar. You remove the knob and screw in the wammy bar which gives the guitarist the ability to quickly change the pitch of what he is playing. I prefer to not use one when I play but some of the best guitarists do like Slash from Guns N Roses. Watch the video "Sweet Child O Mine". At the end of the song Slach uses the tremelo / wammy bar to make the his guitar make a dip sound.
@Tarn1968 In non-technical terms, it means when a sound gets louder and softer, 'vibrating' between the different volumes fairly quickly. On some guitars there's a 'tremelo' arm, which when pushed/pulled it makes the tone go up or down, and on some guitar amplifiers and guitar effect pedals there's a tremelo effect which does the former, and you can vary the speed or intensity of the change with a turn of a knob. Pity the rest of life wasn't so simple.
Reminds me of secondary school 1967/68 when this song came out. For being a bad boy I had a 100 lines to write of: Silence is Golden, it helps me to work. Yeah..the good old days.
Wow, how many bands could sing and play this song live as flawlessly as this band does here. The harmonies are perfectly balanced which is quite a feat while strumming and drumming! I love it!
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
do harmonies come better then this?, if they do, let me know, what a great song cheers for uploading ........ must say the crowd mostly look perplexed!!!
I'm expecting to see Archie, Jughead, Bettie and Veronica in the crowd. This song just screams 50's American innocence, even though the band is British and the song is from the 60's.
Its funny, I cant stop pushing the replay button on this song. The tenors, countertenors, baritones..they all go so well with each other its not even funny.
@Tarn1968 Tremolo is a musical term that describes various trembling effects, falling roughly into two types. The first is a rapid reiteration either of a single note or between two notes or chords in alternation. A 2nd is a variation in amplitude as produced on organs by tremulants; using electronic effects in guitar amplifiers and effects pedals; an imitation of the same by strings in which pulsations are taken in the same bow direction; a vocal technique involving a wide or slow vibrato.
Drummer Dave Munden of The Tremeloes explains: "We got our name actually from; you plugged into one of the amplifiers and it gave you the vibrato sound on the guitars. It was what we called a tremelo unit. And that's where we got the name of the band from."
@svenswart Peter played bass, banjo and keyboards; Mike played guitar, Micky played drums, and Davy was a virtuoso on tambourine and maracas. They weren't bad musicians, and had some great songs. And they belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame !!!
I hate being old enough to remember when this was on the charts. I loved it then...and I love it now. This is the group that beat out the Beatles for a Decca contract January 1962. Really. Brian Poole and the Tremeloes (misspelled). Great harmonies. To this day I show this vid to the young musicians in the store where I work to inspire them to be true.
One of those rare ones where the live version is better than the original recording version. I LOVE this video, and especially this performance of the song.
i have a friend from the 70's that had a really hot girl friend. he was cheating on her all the time. i asked him why he cheats in her when she is so pretty, his answer was because i keep getting away with it. i finally told her about this song and asked her to listen to it very closely and she should be able figure it out. she approached me a week or so later and said she listened to it but couldn't understand what i meant. i gave up and walked away. :( oh the wonderful 70's
@MrAnozira1 What can I say without making you angry? I think you should have either told her in clear language or kept completely quiet. What you did only helped you to try to salve your own guilty conscience. It did nothing for the girl. It seems a bit timid.
@John1948ThirteenA Well i knew her for 6 months and Dale for over 12 years. but that does not excuse what he did. about 4 months later i ran into to her and she was crying because a woman called asking for him. i then told her that he might be cheating on her,she got in her car and drove off. i ran into her the next day and asked if she was all right, to my surprise it turned out it was her identical twin (freaked me out) she said she told her he was cheating on her but she wouldn't listen.
@MrAnozira1 I've also learned through bad experience that people really don't want to hear the truth, even when it might be good for them. The more you attempt to convince her that the alcoholic abusive jerk to whom she is married should be kicked to the curb, the more she will get defensive, clinging to what she has rather than deal with the uncertainty of charting her own course for awhile. And, yes, I am speaking about a specific person who deserves much better than she settles for.
@MrAnozira1 Gee, so the girl couldn't read your mind? Oh, yeah, time to give up, oh genius. What did you expect? Nobody can mind read.
I'm hoping you've learned how to communicate better with people since then, but I doubt it....if you still remember this in vivid detail and writing about it on YouTube, the chances of you having already learned to grow up with your verbal skills, is not likely.
I don't know if any1 agress with me but I think this live performance sounds better than the actual studio recording. These guys could really harmonize.
Thanks John1948 for this video. It's shows them harmonizing without all the stage glitter. If you brought it back from the deleted than double wow! Also love the dancing couples. Soo 60's.....
THIS IS A TRUE CLASSIC BUT THERE WAS ANOTHER SILENCE IS GOLDEN BEFORE THIS ONE WITH A FASTER TUNE, SOMETHING LIKE SILENCE IS GOLDEN, STOP ALL YOUR CRYING, ALL IS NOT LOVE, ALTHOUGH WE QUARELLED AND SO FORTH. CANT FIND IT ANYWHERE , CAN'T REMEMBER WHO SANG THAT ONE. CAN ANYBODY HELP?
@MedEsq Hi there, thanks for trying but not that either. It was totally a different song with other words also called "silence is golden" . but i do appreciate your help.
This was one of FOUR songs originally by Frankie Valli and/or the Four Seasons which reached no 1 in the UK as cover versions. The others were The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore (Walker Brothers), Bye Bye Baby (Bay City Rollers) and Working My Way Back To You (Detroit Spinners).
@Persian1Cat Nope. It was originally the B side of Rag Doll by the Four Seasons, which came out in 1964. The song was written by Four Seasons member Bob Gaudio, with his regular co-writer Bob Crewe. The Tremeloes' version came out in 1967.
two things, thank god for the germans, so many great 60s british group live performances would be lost forever without them, unlike the bbc, THEY didnt erase history like it was garbage. secondly, thank god decca didn't sign the Beatles, without George Martin and the power of EMI, they would have faded after a few singles and all of rock history could have been changed (or lost).
all 4 sing. maybe the best all around singing group of the decade!
but The Birds, The Hollies, The Beatles, .

@Tarn1968 Tremolo is a musical term that describes various trembling effects, falling roughly into two types. The first is a rapid reiteration either of a single note or between two notes or chords in alternation. A 2nd is a variation in amplitude as produced on organs by tremulants; using electronic effects in guitar amplifiers and effects pedals; an imitation of the same by strings in which pulsations are taken in the same bow direction; a vocal technique involving a wide or slow vibrato.

@John1948Thirteen-A very astute remark and your're right on the mark.

@MrAnozira1 I've also learned through bad experience that people really don't want to hear the truth, even when it might be good for them. The more you attempt to convince her that the alcoholic abusive jerk to whom she is married should be kicked to the curb, the more she will get defensive, clinging to what she has rather than deal with the uncertainty of charting her own course for awhile. And, yes, I am speaking about a specific person who deserves much better than she settles for.

@MrAnozira1 Gee, so the girl couldn't read your mind? Oh, yeah, time to give up, oh genius. What did you expect? Nobody can mind read.
I'm hoping you've learned how to communicate better with people since then, but I doubt it....if you still remember this in vivid detail and writing about it on YouTube, the chances of you having already learned to grow up with your verbal skills, is not likely.

I don't know if any1 agress with me but I think this live performance sounds better than the actual studio recording. These guys could really harmonize.

Thanks John1948 for this video. It's shows them harmonizing without all the stage glitter. If you brought it back from the deleted than double wow! Also love the dancing couples. Soo 60's.....

This was one of FOUR songs originally by Frankie Valli and/or the Four Seasons which reached no 1 in the UK as cover versions. The others were The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore (Walker Brothers), Bye Bye Baby (Bay City Rollers) and Working My Way Back To You (Detroit Spinners).

@cbak12sg Were not the Tremeloes first?
Persian1Cat 1 year ago
@Persian1Cat Nope. It was originally the B side of Rag Doll by the Four Seasons, which came out in 1964. The song was written by Four Seasons member Bob Gaudio, with his regular co-writer Bob Crewe. The Tremeloes' version came out in 1967.

two things, thank god for the germans, so many great 60s british group live performances would be lost forever without them, unlike the bbc, THEY didnt erase history like it was garbage. secondly, thank god decca didn't sign the Beatles, without George Martin and the power of EMI, they would have faded after a few singles and all of rock history could have been changed (or lost).

Very underrated band. Not many bands could or can do these multi-part harmonies.
