We live in a different world today....full of constant negativity....this was made in a day when things were simple....and there was some grain of innocence left. And, yes, they are lip-synching because in those days, that's what they did. There was just too much to chance actually singing....what if you goofed? Speaking of an "excrement waterfall"...turn on MTV today....THAT is crapola..and that's being kind.
@Booberry82 I'd love to be in a world without this crapola. But when you're forced to stand in an excrement waterfall; you just have to smile and say I'm so grateful for technology.
@ritared236 because those people could play music and write songs I think that's untrue. the Beatles would be like Maroon 5 or something and Elvis would be a country star. you have to put them in the biz with the talent they have and not the songs they did....being younger they would write more current songs and Elvis...not a great writer but a good looking energetic performer would fit right in Nashville.it has to be in context with today.
looks like original tv video with original audio replaced by studio recording so it may have better sync with original audio,maybe it was live. 2 audio versions of them singing here comes the night are out,one with the original live audio,the other with the studio recording. the video of them with van morrison is from an n.m.e. concert.
@jimmefoxx that was done a lot in those days and what's interesting is a lot of times, the artist didn't even try that hard to keep up...those are the funnest to watch because some of them didn't even care! We just enjoyed the music. This song is fabulous!!!! Lot's of wonderful memories.
Childhood memories flood back: Wallie Whyton, Ollie Beak and Fred Barker (a puppet dog) who sang the first line of this song as "Please put me away...!"
Abbey Road Studios, where the Beatles recorded. EMI's Abbey Road Studios was equipped with EMI-made British Tape Recorders (BTR)[2] which were developed in 1948, essentially as copies of German wartime recorders. with the introduction of four-track machines in 1963 (the first 4-track recording was "I Want to Hold Your Hand") there came a change in the way recordings were made—tracks could be built up layer by layer, encouraging experimentation in the recording process
All very true, but this sounds like a live recording . The BBC were pretty good at it in those days as most artistes sang live on TV, Top of the pops killed all that ! Great anyway
i got to meet peter asher recently. amazing guy. great stories about the beatles and managing james taylor. got his email and always meant to send him original music for an opinion...gotta get on that!
Great song, I love these old classics. Thanks for posting. We Post Great Oldies Just Like This at TOMA'S TIMELESS TUNES, I hope you stop by. Thank You. Tommy.
I don't give a rat's patootie as to who wrote the song. Peter and Gordon came from an age where talent is what made you a success, not digital samplers and special gimmicks. Great song from a great age!
Yes. People behaved differently. I think too much booze/drugs/sex ruined the ambience. P&G was simply true talent. The closest thing today that captures this essence is Peter, Bjorn and John's song "Young Folks". I hope people look back to the early 60's again for inspiration. I hope to buy a CD of this duo.
I kept hearing this duo in the oldies stations and then again in the movie The Rock, where Nicolas Cage's FBI character was listening to this exact song. I knew I had to track the tune.
@phxdivine Of course you must be referring to Rock music history because I know you can't be referring to the amazing music delivered in the 80's...the 1780's. :)
Every single time that I view a P&G video I always hear two things. 1.) Lennon and McCartney wrote this! 2.) Peter looks like Austin Powers! To clarify- The Beatles are brilliant, there is NO disputing that in my mind. However, good writing or not, you have to have talent to make a musical piece work and P&G have it in spades. Second Mike Myers did use Asher's image. Even Asher knows it. But Peter is more boyish than Myers, hence he is still cuter. And Gordon is very handsome too. Nuff said:)
@ritared236 Oh I know you're doing your best, I was just sharing my thoughts on the multiple comments that are similar on P&G videos throughout "You Tube", not only this particular one:)
@Serenadesong Of course Peter Asher wnet opn to become a multi-millionaire producer, manager, etc. He is the one who set up James Taylor with Apple records.
If Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck were to remake this song it would be titled " I Won't Live In A World Without War." Seems appropriate to say this since there was hardly a peep out of them about the troop pullout of Iraq!
I very first favorite song, I was 5 years old when this was released in America, I remember singing this all alone by myself...and feeling so lonely...what did I know way back then...
pure 60s magic 'happy memories from happier times,just think of your loved ones who were around you when this song was released,and who are no longer here.
I was a teenager, back then, and yeah, those were magical times. Not only was the music great, but so was life. The waters were pure, the air was clean, jobs were plentiful, and Ino one locked their doors. The BOTTOM LINE was not greed, but just simple happiness. So sad to see those days gone by. Today, the world is in such a state of hate and greed. Dear Sweet Jesus, I await. your return.
The water wasn't pure and the air wasn't clean. Once a year my suburb sent trucks down the streets blowing out clouds of DDT. Kept the mosquitos down, but hurt birds' eggs. The Cuyahoga river (Cleveland, Ohio) CAUGHT FIRE. The Hudson river was worse. Radioactive fallout from above ground nuclear bomb tests was polluting the rain. (Look up "What have they done to the rain" here on YouTube. But, yeah, we didn't lock our doors unless we were going to be gone a while.
aGREE TOTALLY!! I am glad you learned english.I am from the USA and am 54 years old . What a great time to be alive in the 60's with all of that wonderful music. Iam glad I didn't have to learn a new language, don't think I could do it! LOL!
@handsupbud I really, really envy you. You found love FIVE times. Somebody somewhere is living a miserable life never having found love, having nobody to love and not loved by someone. I wish you all the best in your present marriage.
I was born the following year, right smack dab in the middle of the whole she-bang known as the 60's and love this like you wouldn't believe. Not typical of a 70's child- didn't matter to me as I knew then as I do now that this is the real deal!
@phxdivine Yes, the 1960's had great music that led to so many differing genres..If I may cite them..Punk, Heavy Metal, Funk, HipHop, Disco, "indie rock", fusion jazz, electronic dance, even "today's country", and many others..Of course the 1960's were just building on what was made in the '50's and so on...Overall, I dig most of the music from anywhere in the world from the 1960's..PEACE
i agree with you guy thats 56 years old : ) i think the sixties was the best era of music even though i wasnt born in that era but that kinda music was so nice and it didnt have much filth like music today you know
For the people who have questions, Gordon, the guy with glasses, sang lead, peter was the harmony singer. Which was better? Who was the better Everly brother? It's the blend that makes it sound so good, and their blend was faultless. As to the guys who talk about "cover tunes", some of the greatest performers covered other peoples songs. Some of the best songwriters couldn't perform worth poot. So should we not hear their songs done beautifully by others?
I was born in 1956 and the songs from the 50's and 60's are the best. I was fortunate enough to grow up listening to songs like this. The garbage nowadays doesn't come close to the simple, pure, fantastic sounds, of the 50's and 60's.
@1933goudey Hi I was also born in 1956 - grew up with this music and still love it - I think you are being a bit unfair on some extremely talented current day musicians - sure there's a lot of Obscene Talentless Banal mainstream music today but it was ever thus (although, admittedly,obscenity was not an issue in 'our day'). Look and listen around, give them a chance - it'll keep you young!!!
I'm 53 and remember these songs vividly from my childhood--hearing them on the radio night and day! We also used to go to the stock-car races with my Dad, and they always played these songs before, between, after the races. I knew all the words as a kid!
@kennbix You said it I am 62 and the sixties were the greatest times to be alive for the music and much more..Please take me back to happier times when people were nicer
@kennbix You said it I am 62 and the sixties were the greatest times to be alive for the music and much more..Please take me back to happier times when people were nicer

Despite many sad events of the 60's, the music lives forever. The British invasion was one invasion I would welcome again. Never has a generation been so lucky as the Baby Boomers were to have the best rock and roll music of all time. I also love the 50's music.

I was a young boy growing up in the 60's. and attended a catholic school listening to this song put a deep emotional thought in my young mind "I dont care what they say I wont stay in a world with out love" As the nun's were slapping my face and the Priests were shoving
me around and when I Disobeyed they put my hands in my desk and slammed down on my hands where is the love?
I agree phxdivine. I am also 56 and I have replaced all my 60's lps with cds. The music from the early 60,s to the very early 70's was and still is the best.
@Zippertheslipper I seem to remember that it was Chad and Jeremy and they had their voices stolen by some villian.Can't remember who the villian was though.
@Zippertheslipper you remember correctly. I think in the episode either the Riddler or the Joker steals their voices! Batman and Robin have to get them back in time for their big concert ... or something.
@Zippertheslipper whoops it was chad & jeremy. And it was the catwoman who took their voices. Hey it was like 40 years ago. I cant remember everything.

I was born in 1956 and the songs from the 50's and 60's are the best. I was fortunate enough to grow up listening to songs like this. The garbage nowadays doesn't come close to the simple, pure, fantastic sounds, of the 50's and 60's.

@1933goudey Hi I was also born in 1956 - grew up with this music and still love it - I think you are being a bit unfair on some extremely talented current day musicians - sure there's a lot of Obscene Talentless Banal mainstream music today but it was ever thus (although, admittedly,obscenity was not an issue in 'our day'). Look and listen around, give them a chance - it'll keep you young!!!

I'm 53 and remember these songs vividly from my childhood--hearing them on the radio night and day! We also used to go to the stock-car races with my Dad, and they always played these songs before, between, after the races. I knew all the words as a kid!

Despite many sad events of the 60's, the music lives forever. The British invasion was one invasion I would welcome again. Never has a generation been so lucky as the Baby Boomers were to have the best rock and roll music of all time. I also love the 50's music.

I was a young boy growing up in the 60's. and attended a catholic school listening to this song put a deep emotional thought in my young mind "I dont care what they say I wont stay in a world with out love" As the nun's were slapping my face and the Priests were shoving
me around and when I Disobeyed they put my hands in my desk and slammed down on my hands where is the love?

I agree phxdivine. I am also 56 and I have replaced all my 60's lps with cds. The music from the early 60,s to the very early 70's was and still is the best.

@Zippertheslipper I seem to remember that it was Chad and Jeremy and they had their voices stolen by some villian.Can't remember who the villian was though.
doglips1958 1 year ago
@Zippertheslipper you remember correctly. I think in the episode either the Riddler or the Joker steals their voices! Batman and Robin have to get them back in time for their big concert ... or something.

@Zippertheslipper whoops it was chad & jeremy. And it was the catwoman who took their voices. Hey it was like 40 years ago. I cant remember everything.
