Telstar

[@johnskinner1119]

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

[@sjames304]

"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.

[@NisseOhlsen]

No wonder. It is perhaps the most uplifting song of all times, while anticipating modern times in space.

[@Čangrizavi_Cinik]

The retrofuturism. The 50s happy thoughts of the years to come.

[@philiptownsend4026]

Many millions loved it and bought the record. The original is still the best with Joe Meek humming along at the end. Pure gold.

[@kristofferhellen7499]

It was an innocent and hopeful time

[@Charlesheusel62]

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

[@exs1803]

This is lovely. Immediately transport one back to the past in the 60s. One of the best cover.....

[@Keranu]

I think this is the cleanest cover of this song in KZbin, ten years after this video uploaded. All the covers more or less sound identical, but this guy comes across more as a technician and hits each note without the slightest delay.

[@George-hs2zm]

I totally agree, I've listened to every version and this stands head and shoulders above. Tony puts a lot of flourish into it.

[@peterrumsey1788]

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.

[@christinelaw4]

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

[@michaelsmallcombe8405]

Yes Telstar was one of my best tunes of the time and this is Brlliantly

[@brunopulieri5279]

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❤

[@lemondropkid2011]

Excellently played, brings back so many memories 👍

[@jamesa.thomassr.3650]

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.

[@michaelpoynton9799]

Good sound! Kiitos.

[@lesvieuxbriscards]

hello tonyshad good interpretation,, bravo!!

[@vibrant_vision]

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.

[@whar2010]

You make it look so easy, Tony.

[@Malcolm7550]

Hi Tony - what a great rendition of an all time classic. Would you be able to perhaps email me the tab - can't get it anywhere. I have the backing track already but need the tab to complete the picture. Keep plucking away.....

[@chrissmith9108]

Brilliant 👌👌👌

[@AlanDawes-d8z]

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

[@doloreslebreton3398]

Lovely Music ..forever

[@AbleMcRide2012]

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

[@иванепифан-к8ж]

I like it very much :)

[@blazebear7]

BRILLIANT

[@timoonn]

[@liamjh81]

Awesome

[@steenthorse8579]

Smile smile smile some more 👍 makes all the difference

[@nataliarobinson9514]

Sounds deeper then the piano thingy, but I like it

[@elsofilms]

NOTHING LIKE THE TORNADOS LOTS OF BACKING TRACK BUT A NICE SOUND. I was playing this in 62 before you born? At tip on how the space sound was done ,.You need a Copy Cat echo chamber multiple feedback turn echo up to max and back and you'll be surprised. Eddy.

[@andreacervigni830]

Gooood!!!!

[@enriquemoreno7030]

Fantástico.

[@philiptownsend4026]

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

[@topspeedenglish7399]

good sound!

[@hitwomanfromkorea]

Great!
