The Shadows live in concert, 1964

[@divalivingston1664]

Hank Marvin was 23 when this concert was performed. He had such a cool look with dark hair, glasses and a big smile.

[@albertquirante6850]

He has a resemblance of buddy holly

[@johnnybeer3770]

The Shadows for me will always be number one . Hank is the reason took up the guitar and had a quite successful 25 years as a semi pro ,playing lead with a group doing a lot of Shadows covers 🇬🇧

[@quocrip]

I was three years old when I first heard The Shadows. 53 years later and I still love their music. It's just superb playing, and that's all there is to it. The amount of artists that have been influenced by them is incredible.....or is it. Just timeless class!

[@remybrown7264]

Best sound ever ! I was 18 years old and I saw the Shadows at Paris Olympia, unforgatable… I buy a red Strat, and today, I’m 78 , still play Shadows music ! Remy from France😊

[@markramlucken8502]

I'll never get tired of the shadows.

[@jilj1948]

or.. in other words: 'ever green' .. what I wonder most these days,, is how these OLD guys/ boys are able continue handle these guitar's,, so soft and gentle - never forget also listen to the 'back' up, Bruce, rythm, bas, drums,, etc.

[@alfankurnia5537]

the shadow's songs across generations are popular with all ages all over the world.

[@Raymond_Aubry]

One musicien, one amp, no technology... and it sounds great.

[@GRfourfun]

I absolutely love the Shadows. My late father was a huge fan and also owned a Burns and a USA Fender Strat in white and red which i know proudly own. I grew up listening to nothing but the shadows on cassette, good memories.

[@keeferhazlewood6918]

WOW! That is some amazing musicianship! That drummer is stunning. And the camera man obviously likes the bass player!

[@OzzieWozzieOriginal]

No loud metals, no excessive distortions and compressions.... pure music, not volumes

[@janinapalmer8368]

Not volumes..? 3 AC30 amps put out quite a racket lol 😂

[@stainsxl]

The only volume you find in his gladders.😮

[@nightrider8908]

I saw The Shadows in Helsinki a couple of weeks after this concert and have seen them four times since then. They have style and a great sense of humour in addition to being great musicians and composers.

[@IsaacAsimov1992]

Yes. And Hank could have had a career as a singer ...rich and resonant baritone voice. (would have made a great radio announcer)

[@brianmorris8045]

It helped that she shadows had the best rhythm guitarist in the world too....and still is.

[@StephenMerchant-up8sg]

Fair play, I'm 68 and never took blind notice of the Shadows but this has opened my eyes. And we've even got a plaque to Jerry Lordan over my local pub door! From now on I'm a Shadows fan

[@EdgardoValentinoDOlaes]

The best instrumental rock group of all time in the world..... THE SHADOWS. They sing too.

Well, this is also my opinion.Wonderful.

[@bernhardnizynski4403]

Their singing talent alone was enough for success!

[@mariehanadi1427]

Definitely!!!

[@johnswift1736]

Cliff certainly did.

[@davidkingman3526]

There's only one word, legendary

[@davidkingman3526]

I grew up listening to these guys, 74 now and still listen every day. I now live in Brazil and am married to a Brazilian woman, she asked me a couple of weeks ago, isn't there any other singers or bands in the UK. My answer was simple, none worth a mention and certainly no legends like the shadows

[@haihechina]

oh, wow, now I get it, where the Beatles and Jeff beck were coming from. hank marvin truly a great.

[@GazelyGaze]

The Shadows were everywhere (not in the shadows) in the early 60's, so the Beatles & Beck would certainly be influenced. Though both their passions were USA black music; so blues and rock'n'roll were their most-used templates.

[@brucegibbins3792]

​​@@GazelyGaze Recorded in Hamburg Germany, by the Beatles was My Bonnie for release as the A side. Of more relevant interest is that the B side was a pleasant instrumental: Cry For A Shadow. Apparently, occording to the music press at the time the 45rpm disc was released, soon after the first records that kicked off their popularity, the tune was an acknowledgement of their liking of The Shadows the ten instrumental chart toppers and Cliff Richard's backing band.at that time.

[@Maguirearch]

Eh ? Jeff Beck inspired by Marvin...? Maybe a bit but not much...his big inspirations where more Les Paul, Django Reinhardt, Griffin Gallup and Scotty Moore....

[@williamcurtin5692]

That's Cliff Gallup. An old girlfriend of mine knew him when he was the Superintendent of Maintenance for the Portsmouth (Va) school system. Beck always cited Gallup as the man who made him pick up a guitar. But Marvin did the same for Richard Thompson, which ain't half bad.

[@garybackstrom183]

How did I miss this music First timing hearing tonight I’m a professional musician, singer guitarist Learned all my basics from 50 s rock and Beatles My mind is blown. !!!

[@fernandotordo2929]

[@davidkingman3526]

75 Y.O. ,followed them from the begining with my parentes,i was 8 in 1957.As good today as ever, if not better even

[@bryanpalmer9660]

@@keeferhazlewood6918according to what I read Hanks orig red Strat is now owned by Shadows member Bruce Welch

[@noramuzsikas7029]

The voice of Burns is outstanding too. He sings better as cliff.

Nice, isn't it ? I have a 1964 Watkins bass and I'd love a Burns from the same era.

@Joe Guitar Yes, he even hit a duff note during Sleepwalk here in Johannesburg in 2010. Shows he is also human. Still my favourite. !!!

[@nigelduckworth406]

@@myjames48 Hank hit a lot of duff notes, or, more accurately, missed them in the early recordings. Mustang, Back Home, Man of Mystery, FBI etc., but when I watched him at the Final Tour concert in Sheffield, I did not notice even one mistake. And I know every note and nuance of the pre-1964 recordings, having played them for 50+ years., many on stage. He is so good.

[@thomassteele479]

The Shadows at their very best pre-fender playing burns guitars but the brilliance of Hank and Co bring out the best of these fantastic machines🎸🎸🎸Shadows Rule ok

[@nigelduckworth406]

They had Fenders from 1959 to 63.

[@ovemunk]

And again from 65-....... they only played Burns because they got a good offer.😉

[@williambowley202]

Hank had BURNS design and make him a replacement guitar for the Fender Stratocaster because they weren't happy with the products Fender was delivering in 1964 - staying in tune was one problem. The only reason that they changed back to Fender was BURNS was sold to Baldwin in the USA when they couldn't buy Fender because CBS had done that - Baldwin stopped making the Burns designs a few years later. The Burns guitars that Hank had were stolen, that's when he went back to Fender.@@ovemunk

[@joycemagdalene7950]

They made history and still do. This is the result of giving your all. Beautiful music.😊😊😊

[@jackflash8179]

Marvelous 👌👏😍🤩😎 !!! A little blue thumb 👍 added by a guitarist member of a Shadows tribute band from France 😜🇫🇷.

[@Ndlanding]

Ye gotta love the shadow ties! I really enjoyed this concert! It's amazing to hear how people played music honestly back then, and studio recordings were often striving to capture the atmosphere of a live version. In this recording, the snare drum was a major instrument, and not just a clap-track. The bass came out of its shell to make tunes come alive, the rhythm guitar played a major role, and the lead guitar was basically the vocalist. Magnificent stuff! Many thanks for the upload.

[@monzajunior7337]

The fantastic sound of Burns and Vox!

[@tonyhunter7760]

I did gigs in the early 90's with a true believer who played a Burns Bison thru a Vox AC30.....what chemistry...................never heard a guitar /amp combo to match it

[@michaelporter4050]

What memories that brought back! Took me back to a wide-eyed 10 year old who marvelled at Hank’s playing and the wonderful red Stratocaster he introduced us all to. I made my mind up that I was going to have one of those some day. And I did, although not red. Listening to this footage, I am struck by just what great musicians they were - but then you had to be in those days with no electric gimmickry and gizmos. Thank you so much for posting this.

A master class performance in knowing the rudimentary elements of your instrument and having it all come out naturally on the fretboard or drum surface. Thank you for the posting. Getting reacquainted with my guitar at 64. This time studying scales is like climbing a ladder, got to get on the first rung before you can reach your personal top.

Yeah, certainly! And it's all connected; plenty of punks will have grown up appreciating The Shadows. Cross-pollinating across the Atlantic to/from the Ventures, then a short jump to Johnny Thunders covering the Contours' Pipeline in his own style. The Flying Padovanis were punk specialists in guitar twang.
