Shadows - Apache 1964 Released 1960
The Shadows are an English instrumental and vocal rock and roll group active from the 1950s to the 2000s
"Apache" is an instrumental written by Jerry Lordan. It has been recorded by many artists, but the first released version was recorded by British group The Shadows in June 1960 and released the following month. The song topped the UK singles chart for five weeks. In March 2005, Q magazine placed "Apache" at number 96 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks.
In North America, The Shadows' original version is unknown, and the song is identified with Jørgen Ingmann, a jazz guitarist from Denmark. In 1961, Ingmann produced a cover version that, billed to "Jørgen Ingmann and His Guitar," made number two on the US pop chart, and number one on Canada's CHUM Chart.

its still a good bit of vintage shadows footage, i love the guitars they are using here, they are burns (marquee ??) guitars not stratocasters, must be before they got hold of strats.
dont think its live, the guitars dont seem to be plugged in and the song is faster than the album version but the pitch is higher which suggests it was sped up slightly for time....
My dad always played this on his electric guitar when I was a kid... I can see it before my eyes... me sitting in the livingroom couch when I was five years old, and he sitting down with his Fender Stratocaster Deluxe, playing this song. Rarely have I seen dad as happy as when he plays his guitar... *sigh* Those were the days...
