Everly Brothers vs. Gerry and The Pacemakers

Everly Brothers vs. Gerry and The Pacemakers Hits Medley

[@utubemusiccritic]

A whole lot of talent on that stage...

[@ligger2]

It's wonderful fun to watch both pairs of brothers having so much fun playing these songs. The drummer is Gerry's older brother, Fred. You rarely get to see him cracking up on camera (and really rocking out on his kit) like this. It all seems so spontaneous. Poor Don.

[@mindymoore8691]

The Everly Brothers really could sing anything! They sounded better than Gerry and the Pacemakers when they sang their songs! They sounded great no matter what they sang. Just absolute genius. Their two voices together couldn't go wrong. This was fun to watch, happy times back in the day. We really were so lucky! RIP Phil. Thanks for the music always and forever. Don, condolences and stay strong.

[@mindymoore8691]

No you give me a break! Did you even bother to listen to the video? I am here to celebrate the Everly Brothers and pay tribute to two great musicians who helped create rock and roll! I have nothing against Gerry and the Pacemakers but this is about Phil and Don Everly!

[@cyclonejane]

What professionals! Don captured Jerry's lead perfectly--same intonation, same enunciation--and these guys were such pros that they weren't put them off trying this gag. It wasn't as easy as they make it look. Jerry probably learned to sing, at least in part, by singing the EB hits, but Don and Phil would have had to work on things a bit because they had not sung the other band's songs before. Does anyone know if Jerry Marsden ever commented on this event in later years?

[@johnsiebelink4287]

Mindy Moore I love their rendition of "I Like It!"

[@lynnlobliner3933]

Mark - I'll give you "as good as" but they did do a great job on those songs.

[@catscompany735]

Everything was better back "then"! But the music was great & still is! So much better than a whole lot of the stuff this day & age!

[@denisepienaar7814]

Amazing talent! RIP Phil Everly. You have left us with some beautiful music. Love xx

[@Marianvalkyrien]

This has to have been the first time a singer recceives a bloody nose on a T.V. show!But they show a sense of humor here.

[@SenorZorrozzz]

The Everlys needed songs like this. They should have been on Topeka of the charts during this period.

[@musicwarrior84]

Ouch!! Don totally got clocked in the nose by Gerry's guitar! No wonder he was practically rolling! Poor Don.

[@357HFC]

Artists paying respect to each other. Brilliant!

[@mauidreamer2801]

This is such a priceless piece of video and history. ( Phil and Don will forever be number one.) And, my nose hurts every time I watch this! They all were having a great time even though Don must have been seeing stars! Thank you for this.

[@johnhguitar]

The audio recording is amazing for a live performance! Wow!

[@alonenjersey]

My vote goes to The Everly Brothers because of the way they could harmonize

[@Johnboy50011]

Gerry is dangerous with his guitar! Look out Don (too late)

[@BarbieMak225]

incredible BOTH acts....

[@cbak12sg]

For those who don't know, this starts with Don and Phip's version of Gerry and the Pacemakers' first UK No 1, How Do You Do It, then the compliment is returned with Bye Bye Love, Don and Phil then do I Like It, the second UK No 1 for the Liverpool lads, who then do a bit of Be Bop A Lulu before Gerry eventually gets to the front of the stage with the Everlys for Pretend. This is a marvellous clip.

[@vatsaakhil]

So, who won? :P hehe

[@lesleyvivien2876]

***** Never! :D

[@marinaschamehorn8882]

Everly brothers.

[@Dclangers]

how good was that ? pure talent. great.

[@johnsiebelink4287]

Love the Everly Brothers. I was born in the same part of Kentucky they originated from, and their cousin was my mom's pastor growing up. So there's that special connection

[@BUTTER_THE_BOI]

Im a coal miners daughter Thats mine.

[@backtoshallabal6662]

Do they still keep in touch?

[@bajoma123]

What a wonderful clip. Such fun to watch, they were all terrific, but so lovely to watch Don and Phil having such fun. Thanks for posting this gem.

[@emmabradford137]

it was fine until Gerry clocked poor Don and gave him a bloody nose...what an arse

[@inshreds66]

Bloody marvellous. I never knew this took place. cheers.

[@libertas1776]

This is on my favorites list. I LOVE Gerry Marsden's infectious smile!

[@musicbyastrid]

I like the part where Don gets hit in the face with a guitar and Phil just laughs his head off. Pictured: siblings

[@rhondaboncutter5812]

Loved both of these groups, growing up! Love this so much!

[@valkojan]

I am only 34 but I love this music. It is really great to hear all of them to sing these famous songs.

[@ShaggyDawg]

Well you’re 45 now 😵

[@mjjoseph8259]

So cool,Don,Phil,and Gerry.The Beatles had said they liked to think of themselves as the British Everly Brothers when they started out.

[@m2dad2]

Absolutely fabulous!!!!! Thanks for the walk down memory lane!!

[@WallyPost]

This is the first time I've seen this. It is great. Gerry Marsden with Don and Phil going "at it" ... LOL. What a performance. And, it was live with Phil getting smacked in the nose by Gerry's guitar ... and was bleeding! LOL ... good video.

[@bluephalanx]

wrong brother mate,it was don who got smacked,i know i'm years too late but oh well

[@SECblackmagic]

Totally magical, a classic

[@sooz9433]

Oh lordy...🤣 this is worth it's weight in gold! They were happy, they were spontaneous and this is the way I would always like to remember them... R.I.H. PHIL, DON AND GERRY. 🎼🖤 Thank you for sharing this. I'm waaaaay late finding it but better late than not at all.

[@rafaelmarioyoseflennon3461]

I love "How Do You Do It" the Everly Brothers with Gerry & the Pacemakers

[@buddyfan57]

great video i love it the everly brothers are fantastic. lol i didnt relize how short gerry was omg he looks so short next to the everly brothers lol

[@patric1127]

Bravo performance by some greats and funny too!

[@robclark4507]

the everlys never got the credit they deserved they were brilliant

[@marilyns8497]

Oh I have to totally disagree with you there!!!!!!!! They certainly DID get the credit they deserved, because they were so brilliant. Where have you been?!

[@nataliedeshow768]

Rob Clark and gorgeous too!! They had it all, talent and good looks!!

[@joanielorentz4979]

Indeed❤️2021

[@MrHolzheim]

Great fun, made me smile for the happy days.

[@gaileedelman9685]

this was fun to watch!! makes you wonder where the years went.

[@Beatle849]

Never seen this before. Very interesting.

[@MrWimVanDongen]

What a great performance!!

[@pgh45rpms]

Never saw this before; thanks for posting. 'Pretend' was the b-side on the U.S. release of 'Ferry Across the Mersey'.

[@wandabm]

Great ! Every time i hear this is like the first time.

[@wandabm]

great! there like this band i use to know ; Street The Beat. I LOVE IT!

[@sgdp]

Wow, I lost the internet for a while, and couldn't hear this bit. Drove me nuts that when I got it back it was gone! So THANK YOU!

[@FlawShow]

This is SO GOOD!!!!!!!

[@DeborahHeidt]

What a duo! No one sings better than the Everly’s - poor Gerry having to sing in the same room - no contest! My favorite video!

[@TheShizue777]

Thank you, thank you and thank you!!! So perfect. I love watching live performances. What great performers to watch!

[@real_armadillo]

I really miss the good old days, which I wasn't a part of :(

[@prodkwop]

Damn.. I never realized how good their voices were..

[@coreyyourlocaltreeguy2771]

I fought in Iraq for 9 years as a soldier and a contractor but this makes me wish I was old enough to do Vietnam.

[@cd1690]

@MrDickedo You sum it up completely - watching this makes me 18 'till I die!!!

[@pause10two4]

This is a hoot to see them trading off tunes! Thanks for posting this rarity!

[@bassball67]

A fun and probably rare clip. Thanks for your post G & A!

[@TomHendricksMusea]

This was when rock hadn't become everything it started out opposing.

[@dickbuelow8968]

Great oldies and this is clever..where is this kind of music now? Sadly missed

[@MbViTo113]

this is very funny video. I liked both Gerry and the Pacemakers and Everly Brothers when i was a kid, and stil do. so much great music from the 60's. Seeing this great musicians having fun and not being to serious is great :-)

[@stickmanpig]

great video,never seen it before.seen jerry loads of times allways a good show.dave

[@apt221bbakerst]

All I can say is WOW. That was absolutely fantastic. Gerry Marsden has a wicked sense of humor but sadly I never knew until I saw him live in concert last year.

[@wandabm]

They sound so good. They remind me of a band call Street the Beat!! Its ashamed that a certain person does not want to make that dream come true!! But the Ghetto Brothers Band will come out very soon!!

[@korkybb]

Excellent very well put together really enjoyed keep on rocking

[@evanbi1]

I love this video!!!!!!!! THey are so cute!

[@johnvoyce]

I didn't know Gerry was such a great guitarist. Fantastic clip.

[@whity72]

Great idea, this one! :) The Beatles should have done it vs. The Kinks, too!

[@carolkent5543]

Blooming Brilliant. Didn't we have fun then!

[@suzannemorris5471]

Proves once again the 50's! 60's had the best music and TV entertainment shows. My first viewing of this video and I am blown away. This is a treasure for sure.

[@TheZodiacKiller622]

Fantastic,lost for words,its great to see great American artists play with a great British band during the British invasion of the US charts.

[@gaileedelman9685]

really made me laugh. they were having fun.

[@1928missbliss]

Any doubt now where Gerry and also Beatles got a ton of their early song's rhythm licks and harmonies?

[@cyclonejane]

None whatever!

[@lancetop]

Thanks for posting this gem!

[@belovia50]

Who could not love those faces? I always loved Gerry and the Pacemakers, but now that I get to "see" Don and Phil, there is no contest. They say a woman is affected by sound and a man by sight. That's not always true, at least for a female. Give us sight and sound and you can't lose. Thanks for this video.

[@StigOHarrison]

Good shot Gerry, right on the septic tanks hooter!

[@Marianvalkyrien]

That had to be painful!

[@percyfurler]

Great stuff. Thanks for posting this.

[@eddievision]

Pure Gold!!! TNX

[@SAF57]

Seen both live - not easy to say who's best. Met Gerry in person in 2006. Oohh, the day of my life... haha.... Seen EB in 1985 and 2003. Both times great.... This is a great clip. Just goes to show how good these songs are ... no matter what! Right???

[@bertisobe]

Great Blast From The Past !!!! Makes Me Feel Like A Kid Again !!!! Thank You For The Upload !!!!! Very Nice Video !!!!

[@user-vm3ri7qh5x]

So, 16 years after you posted it, I find it and it makes my day! Thanks! (Poor Don!)

[@andrechristino]

sensacional!!!!!

[@jeannetteguerra3139]

Que lindos ver como disfrutaban y compartían con los artistas las canciones, alegres armoniosos y felices de terminar una muy buena presentación con su público, que los seguía con caruño y respeto que merecen los maestros ..Muchas gracias por compartir tan buenos momentos que quedaron para conocer su historia.

[@swanner95]

i wish they had done full covers of each other's songs

[@PGPyramid1]

ROFLOL!!! This is fantastic! Well done for finding this!! Ten stars! **********

[@lauraswylie]

At 3:49 it looks like Don scares Gerry LOL. This video is too darn cute!!!

[@Kammler03]

Thanx for sharing !! REALLY GREAT !!!

[@sipanskaluka]

great!!!!

[@thighmister]

Your generation throws down, son. Most open-minded, free-thinking people ever. Going to save the world and make it look easy. And yeah, nothing beats vinyl. I grew up listening to my dad's early rocknroll records on his kickass hifi, and I wouldn't trade that experience for anything. The crackle between the songs, the anticipation, the richness of the sound.

[@roman14032]

to bad the everlys never did this with the beatles,that would have been the greatest thing ever

[@capkarl2]

That is a great post.

[@chris1763red]

The amazing everys. It was Don he smacked. Glad u liked video.

[@Mickell1234]

I like it, Fun

great stuff!!!!!!!!!

[@enza5787]

Love it.......thanks for posting

[@SEVFEST]

OMG what a treasure

[@georgeworthmore]

@ Cavanfan _ Gerry and the Pacemakers were not "copyists" They wrote some great music and early on were considered the best group in the British invasion.... ahead of the Beatles and the Stones. Not a "crap band" at all, they wrote and played great music. This is a wonderful video reflecting a magical and important time in popular music. Thanks for sharing.

[@gregorylata4830]

RIP Gerry 🎸😢😢☮️♥️🌹🌹🌹

[@jobirgheidi]

Magnificent entertainment. Love these guys. Best of British and American.

[@blueticecho]

This thing is running so fast that at 1:20 0r so the Everlys sounds like Alvin and the Chipmunks...

[@lejeune1945]

Fabulous !!

[@cruxton31]

I love this. it is so funny.

[@raveon09]

this is just great!

[@markboller4313]

Excellente ❤❤❤

[@Tonithenightowl]

Looks like they had a blast doing this :o)

[@byebyelove1944]

,, I Liike It '' :>) OUGH said Don when he nearly lost an eye by that stupid Pacemaker.

[@ma.victoriavargas4268]

Lol

[@ma.victoriavargas4268]

"stupid Pacemaker" lol he was Gerry... The band's called Gerry and the Pacemakers, therefore, he isn't one of the Pacemakers haha.

[@swake2]

Mooi om terug te zien waw...

[@scotsongs]

I know I'm onto this vid a bit late but... great. Never seen or heard of it before. "Pretend"? Version we all copied (as here) is by Carl Mann. Carl seemed ro specialise in "rock" version of "oldies". Proper oldies that is. "Pretend" was one of his hits as was "Mona Lisa". Similar treatment and another recorded earlier by Nat King Cole. Thanks for this one...

[@stevens5541]

This is brilliant
