Frankie Valli & TFS Silence Is Golden

[@RobertoMolina-x9e]

Best Four Seasons line up ever.

[@246895132]

One of the greatest B sides ever, This live version is awesome, Frankie and a super backing band, it does'nt get any better than this.Frankie,you're the man!!.

[@MiguelMorales-ds4pt]

yes yes yes yes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,great !

[@Kitandrox]

When I finally turned Rag Doll over and found this, I thought Marlena /Candy Girl or Hound Dog/Don't be Cruel Rag Doll was such a monster though song of the summer 64 not many listened to this super sad But Rag Doll Dawn Ronnie Save It For Me what a 64 the Seasons had!!! .

[@jeffclark7888]

Agree.

[@johnparker8588]

@@Kitandroxthey were better than the Beatles.

[@williamoverly1617]

The Jersey boys (SHERRY, BIG GIRLS DON'T CRY, WALK LIKE A MAN, RAG DOLL)were one of the greatest groups to come out of an era that gave us the Beach Boys and the Beatles. This song made the Tremeloes super-stars.

[@adamdrummer1991]

Daaaang!!!!! That breath controller solo from Robbie is superb!

[@louparte1]

The back-up singers are the stars here. Wow!

[@lovethesixtiesmanyeah6363]

It is so sad that the greatest singers of any generation are all getting old and will not be with us much longer.

[@indy_go_blue6048]

Funny in a sad way... my mother said the same thing 20-30 years ago. There's no music better than the music you grew up with.

[@siobhanoshea9979]

Sadly only 2 left from tremoleoes

[@MichaeldeFilippi]

Hanging in!!!

Yes, all The Ones are dying one by one.

I feel the same way. I saw Frankie Valli live in 18' and he was Fantastic!

[@NancyLindsey-w8z]

Frankie still sounds great

[@karenstanley964]

I’m truly in awe 🫢 of The Four Seasons. I think this group in particular is the watershed moment. The key board man is such a cute fella. I’m so sorry he passed away. Toooooooooo young…

[@NancyLindsey-w8z]

I love this song 🎵.

[@MichaeldeFilippi]

This is my favorite live version I've seen of Frankie's Silence is Golden. Really gets into it! I hate the lip syncing from the shows today :(

[@NancyLindsey-w8z]

I love the oldies

Love this song 🎵

[@pepperonipatti2699]

Just love Frankie. An amazing performer.

[@HudsonTrainman]

He is the greatest!!! I went to see him perform live at Shea's theater in Buffalo, what a performer! His love for music shows when he is on stage, he sounds better at age 79!!!!!!

[@musicisinmysoul]

I saw him a couple of times in Buffalo (Melody Fair) and several times in FL. What an incredible artist.

[@HudsonTrainman]

@@musicisinmysoul I agree Russ his performance is awesome, he still draws a large crowd at age 86!! In my opinion they don't make entertainers that perform live like Frankie Valli anymore !! (Sad)

[@ledfordmom]

@@HudsonTrainman just saw him tonight in concert (he’s 87 now) and it was fabulous!

[@tenor817]

Unfortunately has to lip sync most of it these days.

[@iradschwartz5417]

No one is better than Frankie and the seasons

[@FredChristianImpact]

Great Song by A Great Singer Excellent Version. Great Harmonies backing Mr Frankie Valli who is The Greatest Singer I ever heard. Great Guitar by Larry Lingle song should have been A Double #1 In 1964 w Rag Doll

[@frank654]

The original is from Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons (1964 B-side of Rag Doll). The Tremeloes did it in 1967...

[@leytonexile]

Wish in the original that they'd repeat the chorus after the second verse.

[@tjops1000]

Just beautiful!! Anita Jackson, SA

[@qz3bmz]

MAGIC, pure pop music magic! Thanks very much for posting

[@eilees1]

I love the way Frankie ends this version of this song!

[@chuckcochran8599]

Every live version of the 4 or 5 different live arrangements they've done through the years, ends a touch different, but I agree with you that this finish stands above all the others.

[@fogodechow7735]

Awesome version

[@rosarioreside3327]

Have you watched him singing the 2021 Silence Is Golden?it’s really awesome beautiful you could possibly imagine Thenk you 😊👍

[@davehopkins8718]

One of the greatest of all time.

[@colinturner4158]

There’s class and there’s today’s music god help us

[@DeltaJazzUK]

Let's see if any of today's tuneless wonders can sound this good live.

[@jeffclark7888]

Precisely.

[@wesleycook7687]

Frankie is good. But so are the Tremeloes who took it to the charts. Today, the only one that can do this kind of thing is Paul DaVinci from England.

[@wideslammer]

I'm very late to respond, but how about this? This is a Hungarian band. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH_Hoq2ZdtCVmbc

You hit the nail on the head. Bunch of no talent morons. If rap is music I'm a brain surgeon.

[@STANGUNN1]

WOW WHAT A COMBINATION GREAT JOB ON ONE OF MY OLD TIME FAVORITES . THANK YOU

[@Bluesgerd47]

Why is it a shame? the Tremeloes made a very own version of this and brought so much fun an joy to millions of people all over the world.

[@配信お疲れ様でした今日も楽]

Oh, don't it hurt deep inside To see someone do something' to her? Oh, don't it pain to see someone cry? Oh especially when someone is her Silence is golden, But my eyes' still see Silence is golden, golden But my eyes' still see But my eyes still see A talkin' is cheap, people follow like sheep Even though there is nowhere to go How could she tell he deceived her so well Pity she'll be the last one to know Silence is golden, But my eyes' still see Silence is golden, golden But my eyes still see How many times did she fall for his line? Should I tell her or should I keep cool? And if I tried I know she'll say I lied Mind your business, don't hurt her, you fool Silence is golden, But my eyes' still see Silence is golden, golden But my eyes still see But my eyes' still see But my eyes' still see

[@1oakdoor]

Love this song! Beautifully done!!!!!

[@ringtalk3]

The April 2013 stuff he did with a new group of Seasons, Frankie still has it in a big way. He is scheduled for Aug. 17. 2013 in Lincoln, CA (near Sacramento) in a postponed June 1 concert in which the 79 year old icon wasn't feeling well and pulled the plug like 72 hours prior.

[@jackievanderwerf892]

At 83 he still good seen him a 2 years ago !

[@craigwagner487]

Yes, I remember this from the "Gold Vault of Hits" album that I bought just before Christmas of 1964. One of their best.

[@1alabamajack]

+marcus ohara ---This is the original and the Tremeloes version is much better in my opinion

[@marcusohara57]

I like that one too. I was fortunate to see Frankie and the Four Seasons at a nightclub back around 1975. The keyboard player was sort of the spokesman for the group. He poked fun at the Tremolos version as it was note for note the same version the Four Seasons had originally done.

[@nelsoncorbal]

Amazing.

[@timothyhalldorsson5476]

Dang, so beautiful! Thanks ❤️❤️❤️

[@jhguthlac]

Why didn't the 4 Seasons record their own version? They DID! It was on their first Phillips album, "Born to Wander" and was the B side of Rag Doll. That's where the Tremeloes heard it. This version here outshines all other versions!

[@jeffclark7888]

The Tremeloes’ version was three years later in 1967.

[@jimmystuart6020]

[@bethjohnson8414]

Just saw him last year such an amazing experience!

[@roncluney859]

After listening to their original recording of this song, I'm glad they decided to speed up the tempo, taking a tip from The Tremelos (their version was the bigger hit at the time it was released). I personally prefer the Tremelos release, but I do like this one, especially the harmonica. ;)

[@GirlofNicky]

Beautiful.

[@jhguthlac]

Great arrangement!

[@edenilsond.7640]

I don't know why these arrangements, this melody remind me of Sundays I didn't live... Frankie Rules

[@EddieBryan]

I like the modern rendering, in my maturity. Flip side of Rag Doll? That was the one I liked, that big hit. But this is a deep concept, silence is golden. The great adepts speak to it. I like the riffs.

[@MatthiasBunk1]

Very Nice...

[@SurferJoe1]

A really classy and effective arrangement and performance.

[@leonardobrilhantedesica3578]

This is an even a better version than the Born to Wander album version. Great job.

[@paulstewart8218]

+terri watson i couldn't agree more-the passion that he sings with at the ending adds so much to the song

[@chuckcochran8599]

Silence is Golden is one of those rare songs that just lends itself to live performance. Not that the Studio Session isn't great, the live performance expresses more emotion from all the performers, especially Frankie's lead voice.

[@pigsbishop99]

Yep it's a nother of their great songs. Shame the Tremeloes were the ones to have a big hit with it.

[@chrisshenzo2594]

Pretty powerful performance, and though for this fan no later crew of Seasons will ever top the "cool factor" that diminished after the original 5 (the late beloved Joe Long being fifth, although Charlie Calello is an unsung hero), Frankie looks great here and the band ace!

[@johnparker8588]

Tremeloes were great on this. This version is different. I love the ending.

[@NancyLindsey-w8z]

Don't stop

[@stevethomas363]

I think frankie was singing this from his heart to his two daughters what sadly died

Very possibly. The trauma of having to bury a child is a lifelong sorrow for a parent.

[@paty2912]

Explendido!!!

[@joelu8829]

silence isj golden, frankie 的聲線 is golden。副歌或自由發揮的旋律好聽。特殊的部分如延時慢拍都處理很好 跟演歌有部分類似。本首曲風自然優雅，和音到位，可聽出frankie 對音樂的敏感度，最後的 still see 尾音的變化收尾都可聽出細緻度 不馬虎。

[@x_mau9355]

[@rj5347tamu]

b-side to rag doll on 45.

[@jkoncz]

why didnt the fab 4 seasons record this song it was written by gaudio and crew?

[@johnparker8588]

They did.

[@edhalfen7380]

Tremeloes was all I knew of this song. Small world back then. Good version of this anyway... don't know what that melodica sounding device is called. Probably works like one of those current day tubes can't recall the name of that either. function of being 65 I guess...

[@lillianchristian3965]

+Ed Halfen The Four Season cut it first, the flip side of Ragdoll, never heard the other version

[@stevedolgin7795]

When I first heard Tremoloes version I thought It was the 4 seasons. Its sounds similar because Bob Gaudio and Crew wrote it and it had their influence

[@davidolnick1048]

Is this actual performance on any CD or DVD?

[@tinaryan5916]

Old comment, but just in case, yes, it has been released on DVD. Recorded at Atlantic City in 1992 for their 30th anniversary since Sherry

[@leticiaalonso4751]

En dónde fue este concierto?

[@RolandoPoison]

Oh especially when someone is her..

[@samueleschief5489]

what happened to the full concert?

[@georgemacmillan6949]

Can anybody tell me what that Instrument the Guy in the band is blowing.I believe it is electronic

[@chuckcochran8599]

I believe it's a type of Vocoder. He actually plays the notes on the keyboard, but the Vocoder let's him have more control, allowing him to slur notes and give the impression of an electric piccolo.

[@pallen49]

Does anyone know if the 4 Seasons are the original 4 Seasons in this performance?..

[@davidmcpa]

None of these 4 are the originals.

[@callummorgan896]

If they done this version they might of had a hit this is a good version I liked the tremoles but this version is a bit better

[@johnyoung3482]

What is that thing the musician is blowing into that sounds like a harmonica?

[@hamefurgid]

+John Young Think it is a kazoo. Might be wrong!

[@marcusohara57]

It is a Yamaha synthesizer breath controller. They were made to use with the old Yamaha DX-7 synthesizers.

[@hamefurgid]

+marcus ohara I stand corrected :)

[@marcusohara57]

***** I have one of those for my synthesizer.

[@jkoncz]

done by the tremeloes originally but written by crew and gaudio

[@imisstoronto3121]

Great version but i would give the edge to the version by the Tremeloes.

[@chuckcochran8599]

The Tremeloes cover was a note for note copy of the 4 Seasons original. They increased the tempo a bit, but that's about the only difference. This arrangement is either the 4th or 5th version Valli's used for a live performance. Bob Crewe and Bob Guadio collaborated to write the song.
