Searchers - Needles and Pins 1994

[@patearly9492]

One of my All-time favorite songs. God bless everyone

[@oldiesmusiclover]

Great band, great song, great performance! I am totally mesmerized by them! The way they play their musical instruments, the way they sing, the way they move, is enchanting.

[@brently2009]

The searchers were very underrated, tremendous harmonies right up to today!

[@maryanngarrimone1153]

These guys were awesome when they came out in the 60's. Love their music! ❤️

[@trevorlaidler5817]

saw them years ago still my favorite 60's band

[@eshejh]

Wow. They sound great still and have all aged pretty well.

[@pierre6760]

Great to see Spencer with some hair - he's a real cool dude!

[@cruisebumify]

Sounds just as good as the original.

[@BrendanJewell]

they were the number one band in the UK..

[@marscobheinn]

Fantastic! But now they talk totally without scouse accents

[@kensteigerwald3484]

What great band they are.

[@henriput854]

The searchers , super groep of the sixties . Thanks for all the great hits . We never forget you . Fan Henri put belgium 🇧🇪

[@10TiredFingers]

Same drummer Billy Adamson ,for all these years 1969-1998. I understand he has retired (as we all do) to France. Good Luck Billy...and thanks.

[@sandy2554]

love them and their music

[@scorpio1360m]

I've loved Spencer since his days with "First Class." Members above are: John McNally on lead guitar (original-present); Frank Allen on bass (1964-present); Spencer James lead singer/guitar (1986-present); Billy Adamson on drums (1970-1998).

[@crisp2882]

Great music

[@CeciliaT44]

I like this version, its seems more up to date with time. Its all good.

[@fercla42]

Very nice

[@winter9020]

great version

[@10TiredFingers]

Jack Nitzsche and Sonny Bono co-wrote the music and lyrics. Jackie sang it first in 1963 followed by the Searchers in 64, and any number of others afterward.

[@johnireland6301]

These guys are so great.

Frank and John = REAL Legends

[@comrade5765]

Super!!!

[@elamite66]

Great song from the early days of the British Invasion

[@elamite66]

[@rogerfabon]

[@helgazach4440]

Tolle Sänger 👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🥰🥰😍😍💕💕💕💕

[@Nervescheme]

i want that drummer in my band!!!!

[@wpaulvandyk]

This is good, of course people will moan not as good as original they did in the 60's but fact they still wanted to perform and to this day. You can't expect them to go on a show or tour and mime over a 60's recording., the band are legendry and i seen them live about 10 years ago and was amazing.

[@robbieb4219]

I LOVE VINTAGE BANDS SINGING THE SONG LIKE THE ORIGINAL!!!!!

[@theovanbekkum2241]

geweldig

[@lolagf1556]

Por siempre Searchers!!!!!!!

[@kainnosgoth7336]

Considering the song was at the 30-year mark at the time this was filmed!

[@helenarbuthnot1439]

❤️

[@rcpinsa]

this version released in 89

[@gypsydog24]

Who and how many of these guys can call themselves original Searchers.

[@pcsbeat]

Go see The Rockinghams version!

[@onfire4151]

El que está al medio es igual al ratón de "Lo que el agua se llevo"!!!!!!

[@123456734459]

Iets cut the small talk, Nobody performs Needles And Pins as good as the Searchers......Tezza the Manch...........

[@Appleholic1]

This song was written by Sonny Bono.

[@IBeGodly]

Wow, the new sound. That killed the 60's version a tad though. Anyways, glad to see Franke still slapping that bass!

[@silviaruhsen648]

A DJ must be for music and feelings - as polis is an area of states, nationed in own

[@mirelaciurea9713]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@DefMode66]

Mike Love made a mockery of the Beach Boys name after Carl Wilson passed away. There is nothing wrong with touring as the Searchers they have one original member and another member from the early/mid sixties.

[@1963dodgeboy]

Good God, that drummer is no Chris Curtis. R.I.P. Chris.

[@miciastarky4290]

drummer is Billy Adamson I belive

[@thenewmodfather]

Billy is no longer with us either

[@riedekens]

Niet mis maar ik hoor liever de versie van de originele bezetting met Mike Pender, Tony Jackson en Chris Curtis, De originele versie is van Jackie De Shannon

[@EllisBaxter]

This is actually Mike Pender's Searchers it is not the original group only Pender is from the start .... Sone written by Jack Nitizsche and Sonny Bono ...

[@miciastarky4290]

John macnally is the only original, as frank allan joined in about 63, the other two here is Spencer james (vocals) and credit of being the best drummer joining in about 68 billy addamson. the drummer is Scott can not remember his surname. but the line up today is Frank, John, Spencer and Scott. still touring about 200 t0 280 or more gigs a year

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

Micia Starky no the drummer in the video is billy adamson , scott ottaway joined 8 years ago and cant keep time to save his life , is that why the boys are jacking it in ?

[@RIPmyers]

nice mullet

[@gibb253]

Actually Frank wasn't an original Searcher, he took over from Tony Jackson. Still, If the "Beach Boys" can tour with one original member, why not the Searchers?

[@АлександрКлиманов-к6и]

Прикольно! Смоки отдыхают.

[@audreydavidson3931]

Great song😂

[@khaladsaad.al-mowallad6532]

🏅🥇🎧🥁🎸 smart

[@creepyfreak99]

Wow, I am a big fan of the Ramones version, but this is good too.

[@Anonomousxxx]

I didnt knew this song until heard it at World Snooker Championship as John Higgins walk-on song. Damn this guy has some taste!!

[@TheJohnnycomotion]

Look at these 80's haircuts... lol but the searchers are still awesome

[@unamckillen7125]

Yes, they are. This line-up now sound even better than the guys in their hey-day.

[@rigbyfin]

Johnny Comotion sadly, Spencer James is bald now. Have been a fan of his since his days with the First Class and Beach Baby

[@rogergeorge9764]

Time travel they is impossible how wrong can the be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@blackie75]

+Roger George You'll notice their instruments and mics aren't plugged in lol. You'll also notice, they are not wireless mics, nor do they have wireless packs for their instruments :(

[@moseham]

+Mox_au If you look at the mics you will find they are cordless mics,

[@hunggrapes5532]

Who care,s, this was 25 years ago, you cant change the past, only the future

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

Does frank use a bass with an extended neck ? Extra frets ?

[@Appleholic1]

I wish it was louder

[@СергейСергеев-э1е6д]

-школьное иЗполнение

[@nunotraumas]

Albert Einstein on drums

[@AlphaEckoNiner9ner]

where can i download this version of the song pls?

[@123456734459]

Sure the Searchers have changed there line up since 1958 and so have many other groups, Personally The Searchers have a fan base that refuses them to stop giging, Unfazed by history's so called new wave music that has now disappeared and long forgoten, The Searchers got there name from the movie The Searchers staring John Wayne, There was another movie that stared John Wayne which typifies The Searchers that was called True Grit..........

[@flagflier1]

@nunotraumas thats too funny;)

[@gypsydog24]

And I suppose if Ringo and George were in a group they could call themselves the Beatles hey.

[@gdholmfirth]

Too bad they mixed it so as to remove almost all of the jingle-jangle 12-string sound that made the song.

[@Mirren81]

John Higgins :)

[@scottymacIII]

What's up with the mullet?

[@tubegucker1]

what a 90's crap...the original version is so good

[@teddyzamba1396]

Why does 'pins' have 2 syllables in this tune, is it 'needles n pinzer' or needles n pinsza' ...very vexing...

[@gibb253]

From an emotional point of view I agree with you, but if what you say about the Searchers is true, it also, unfortunately, applies to the "Beach Boys," who have one original member-Love and another from the mid sixties- Bruce. it's curious that the current Searchers lineup is not offensive to original fans, while Love's money-grubbing machine certainly is.

[@swerzer]

I agree - don't think it's live

[@snowymason]

awe the drummer doesnt sing anymore

[@lordjim24]

What happened to the drummer? He looks like he was fried by a bolt of lightning.

[@alienhuman]

a recorded version of an old song but in no way a live preformance.

[@AntonínBorek]

......and who the "...." is Smokie ?

[@mottledbrain]

Er ... So which one of them is playing lead? The three of them are strumming their guitars but ...

[@kb6kgx]

@nunotraumas Naaaaaa, not Albert Einstein... looks more like Phil Spector.

[@SecsSells]

or Phil Spector

[@parkinson34]

Naw, It is Dr. Emmett Brown.

[@drakofury]

great song! only moan that they stand mime in this clip

[@williamweaver8167]

kleck Files Jonathan Kleck

[@gibb253]

Did he sing on Sweets for my sweet, Needles and Pins, Dont throw your love away, Love Potion no 9? No to all of those. Im happy to be a pedant if it means I know my facts. Why not visit wikipedia and get clued up?

[@ChrisCurtisFan]

The vocals are good, it's the drumming skills that are soooo lacking! Chris Curtis drumming style cannot be brought back, and this drummer makes no effort. Let's hope their new drummer puts forth more energy where it is required.

[@gdholmfirth]

Doesn't sound very "live", does it?

[@redcarrock]

The singer looks like Orville the duck !!

[@rigbyfin]

Smokie did an awesome version of this song. Better' if possible, than the searchers. Tighter harmony. As far as the searchers go, I much prefer Spencer James sound

[@wolffystyle]

They cannot be singing live. Lip syncing if you watch closely.

[@bladesmark1]

Gimme Smokie any day.

[@ajamchrash10]

great song, but im sorry, tht drummer, bless him, makes me feel like sayin quite loudly GREAT SCOTT! lol

[@thomasmorales1446]

This is not the 90's lmao

[@eddieblackadder5923]

Playbacked as fuck, no instruments are even plugged in.. and the vocals are exactly the same as another performance but the bass player was "singing" it sad but true

[@ЛеоРаби-п3ь]

Классно, но до Smokie далеко.....)

[@СергейТрифонов-ь6к]

Это Смоки у них скоммуниздили!) песня 60-х гг., когда Смоки в помине не было!
