SHA NA NA at Columbia

[@donnyyork2149]

Too much fun! Everyone remembered their parts on every song, but we disagreed on the details of their choreography and whether we could do them with our old precision, so we agreed just to relax and wing it. As I watch this, it's amazing how the voices remain identifiable even more definitely than the faces after all the years!

[@bigfolkie5418]

Oh how cool was that!!!!!!

[@seacruise73]

What a special night for the performers but also the fans. I have loved Sha Na Na since the beginning with the poster from the live album still in my possession. Thank You Mr. York. You will never know what this music means to me.

Donny York ..... you guys are great and introduced me to the classics!

[@suesundowner6780]

I love the message to those fucking old hippies!

[@asprywrites]

Was Johnny busy?

[@jbramblett]

I saw Sha na na back in the '80s... One thing I always loved about this band was the fact that they seem to be having just as much fun on stage has the audience had listening to them and watching them perform... They were a great great band... And just a lot of fun to watch and listen to

[@davetatge9735]

As a fan since 1970, I too had tears in my eyes. Thank you Sha Na Na for the happiness and good times you brought to us fans. I was able to attend nearly 20 concerts over the years and remember being mesmerized by the awesome talent and FUN, professionalism and JOY the band shared with us. God Bless Denny, Lennie, Chico, Dirty Dan and Reggie in Rock and Roll Heaven.

No one does oldies like these guys!

[@88Musk]

Thanks for this. I used to listen to these guys back in the mid 70's and I was only 11 or 12 years old. Sha Na Na definitely influenced my piano playing. I don't see Johnny here and some other members but the vocals sound spot on.

[@ronaldbarnes3327]

I love this! Although 5 of the hardcore of 10 that usually appeared on TV are missing, it's great to see the earliest members in action.

[@ShaNaNa242]

Sha Na Na should do a full reunion with everyone they've ever played with. The original 11, the current members, and everyone in between.

[@gregmurphy2020]

All the originals are not there, Denny died the year before this. If he was alive he would have joined this fantastic reunion! No real reunion without everyone and specially Denny! And FYI people, Screaming Scott Simon in the back (the one in blue) is not a original member! He came in with Bowzer a year or two after the originals! Screaming Scott is a long term member, but not original! But this is a awesome video and good to see that they get together again! Miss Denny! He would have made it complete! Nice to see Gino Elliot Cahn back with the group also
