hi tony, can I ask you what effects did you use here to get this sound? it's different from Hank Marvin's sound in Apache (I don't hear the same delay). let me know thanks

Great!

Hi Tony. Great version of Telstar. May I ask what equipment you have to achieve your sound. Thanks. Alan.

Great music today is my 82 Birthday awesome to hear them 0:03

Wow. Another favorite of mine. Thank you!

This song made The Moody Blues my favorite rock band in the day. Great playing.

Just wonderful.

Hi Tony. Love this great Cascades tune and your cover is perfect. Excellent performance and sounded super 👏👌💯🎵🎶🎸. Very much enjoyed and a big 👍 258. All the best Olav- subscribed

One of my favorite songs.

GREAT SOUND FIRST CLASS TOP QUALITY mmmmmmm

Telstar is unequaled in musical instrument harmonious melody and is creation was years, years, years ahead of 60s isntrumental bands.

Awesome music fantastic

The classic instrumental of all time, I never tire of hearing this wonderful music from the late Joe Meek.

Very nicely played but the original with clavinette (?) Keyboard and Joe Meek humming at the end is the best, nothing can approach it.

How did you pull that off, was it hard to play, other than the backing track what did you use?

Seriously gorgeous guitar tone!!

Im 30 and i love 50s 60s music since i was 16

You Sir are a true Professional.

ONE OF THE BEST RENIDITIONS i HAVE EVER HEARD BAR NONE.

Ma jeunesse 🥲🥲🥲❤️

Great job

Great cover, I am trying to learn to play it.

Well done.

Great!

Is this the guitar or person.

O tentato tante volte di insegnarmi questa canzone e non ci sono mai riuscito, poi o sentito questo bravo chitarrista, ci sono riuscito, grazzie a come suona, le note si sentono distinte. E non cofusionati❤

So, I have to say, this song makes me feel terribly sad. It’s so interesting, because some people Xpress the exact opposite. I remember my mom telling me about the song maybe five years ago. She talked about when it came out, and how things were so hopeful, and so much was happening with science. She was describing the album cover to me, I believe she said something about the a in the title was made to look like a rocket, and the cover had a lot of brake colors. I mean, no one can argue that the 60s was perfect, or than any time in the past was perfect. It certainly had a lot of problems, and we certainly have even more problems today. I’m not quite sure why the song affect me this way, I guess it makes me feel so sad because of how people thought things would be better, And how optimistic they were, and how, in many ways, things are much worse today. I couldn’t remember even what exactly Telstar was, if it was a rocket, or what precisely. So I looked it up just now, and I found out that the satellite didn’t even last a year, and it just died up there in space because of radiation. I guess I’ve watched the brave little toaster too many times, because that also made me sad even though it’s an inanimate object, you can’t feel anything. and then, of course, that got me thinking about Leica, the first dog that was launched into orbit, and that I had to cry and hug my German Shepherd, and sorry to be such a downer.

Hank Marvin and Tony Shad two of a kind.

Such Mastery of the Strat it sings when in Tony's Hands. This caliber of playing is so seldom seen today.

Happy birthday 🎉 🎉🎉 🎉🎉❤❤❤

As a composer/songwriter/recording engineer, this song is inspiring! I tried to write a "new" song with that "Telstar" vibe/sound as nobody else appears to have tried. Absolutely nothing can compare but I gave it my best shot... kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4iygIGcbt6Yq9U

Telstar is just magic for the ears. It is beautiful, serene, mysterious, great reverb and tones of perfection. Classic and nostalgic from 1962.

So goooood !!!!!

Hello Tony, I really love this performance. Thanks for sharing

Takes me back to Blackpool, when I saw The Tornados on the South Pier.

Thanks for your rendition of this old favourite ! Season's greetings!

Excellent!

Hi, Tony, I wonder if you remember me from when you worked in Electrical Engineering at Essex,I used to come round in your lunch time and bring my Telecaster and we used to play together, I worked in Finance..

"Telstar" is a strange one for me. I don't think there is another song that gives me the feeling that "Telstar" does. For some reason when I hear it it evokes inner feelings of hope and good. I truly cannot explain it. I LOVE music and listen to it constantly, and no other tune does that for me. Whenever I feel down, "Telstar" brings me to a better place. Not overly joyful, happy, or giddy......just, HOPEFUL.

The guitarists guitar sound reminds me of the shadows,one of the earliest tunes I heard on the radio

This is just good old first class playing, you play this like it was nothing yet it sounds just absolutely perfect in every way, I loved it, keep up the good work, you are a pleasure to watch.

👍👍mio

This song brings back memories you would not believe...I was in the Navy reserve and during the Cuban Crisis my division was activated and we were being flown to a sub-base but due to storms, we could not land in Conn. Therefore, they flew us to Road Island. We sat at the airport in Road Island for hours waiting on a bus that would drive us down to New London. The local radio station must have played this song every ten minutes. Now when I hear this song I remember looking out at the rain-soaked runways, watching dark clouds dump gallon after gallon of water on the runways, and wondering if JFK made the right call. Great song and you performed it above average...way above average. Five stars.

Great job, you nailed it!
