I love Jocko from Sha Na NA show.❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@judyrichards8365]

Jocko has such a strong voice and stage presence. Love these guys.

[@brianelza9807]

Used to watch their TV show. It was always fun!

[@that70sgirl90]

Makes me think of the sitcom "Happy Days." 👍🏻 Every Tuesday night at 8:00. I miss those days when my parents were still living and we all watched "Happy Days!" Happy Sunday 🕊 Thank you for sharing! 💖

[@curtisphilumalee1447]

Same here we couldn’t wait for 8 o’clock to come around to watch Happy Days. I think Happy Days was a spin off of American Graffiti but I may be wrong. There was some connection there. But the spin offs of Happy Days were classics too. Laverne & Shirley being one of them. That opening of that sitcom still sits in my head today. 12345678 Sclemeel, something, something, incorporated.

​@@curtisphilumalee1447Happy Days actually came from a short skit on Love, American Style. Do you remember that show? 😊

[@curtisphilumalee1447]

@StephanieJeanne I actually don’t remember that sitcom. Had to goggle it. I guess I was more into the Wild Wild West, Columbo, Rockford Files, Hawaii 5.0, Sanford and Son, Taxi and All in the family

[@StephanieJeanne]

@@curtisphilumalee1447 I liked those shows, too. Love, American was more of an adult show, but sometimes us kids would sneak and watch. 😄✌️

[@LillyMarzSheps]

I remember their tv show. I liked it.

[@KittyGrizGriz]

Love their choreography, so energetic & entertaining! 😎 Makes me think of the Blues Brothers

[@chaddeez8446]

So much raw talent and energy 😎😎😁

[@StephanieJeanne]

Such a fun group! Great live! I love this high-energy song, too! Do do do do do! 🎶😀💜

[@rgs4x]

I saw Sha-Na-Na at the old circle star theatre in San Carlos California 1978

[@StephanieJeanne]

That cool! I saw them in CA at Magic Mountain theater around '75. Great show!✌️

[@maritimus17]

I think it's way past time for either a doc or biopic about these guys got to see them in 1981 at the holiday star theater in Merrillville IN an absolute incredible show

[@darrenrunning5415]

I have vague memories of their variety show that used to air in the 70s.

[@DestinyFilmWorks]

So sad when Billy Crystal left Sha Na Na.

[@zequielchristopherdroz8815]

lmao

[@Fiveash-Art]

Yeah man .. He looks just like Billy Crystal

@@Fiveash-Art I always thought that as a kid, the fantastic Johnny Contardo on backing vocals here but one of the best singers

No Auto Tune on this one,,,great stuff

[@PaulMiller-mn3me]

These guys played at Woodstock

[@thefog3361]

Boomhauer (if that's how you spell his name) mumbled something about them playing Woodstock on King Of The Hill. Where is Bowser?

[@davidmitchell6873]

They seemed oddly out of place at Woodstock and Bowser wasn't in the group yet.

[@KittyGrizGriz]

That’s totally crazy to think about, now. Wow! 😂

[@Muzikgirl67]

​@@thefog3361Not sure... Bowser joined Sha Na Na in 1970, so since this performance is from '73, I'm not exactly sure where he is. Since there's no deep singing in this tune, maybe he sat this one out. Hehehe!🤣🤷🤣🤷🤣🤷

[@Muzikgirl67]

​@@thefog3361Actually, I believe he's playing the keyboards/piano.👍👍👍

[@Pashasmom1]

Wowee, I really like the blue and black outfits better than the gold ones for Johnny, Denny, and Santini.

[@surfingraichu7594]

I love Peter Criss’ version, as well as the original. This one was great as well!

[@johnsoos6907]

KISS played this live on their 1979 Dynasty Tour.

[@surfingraichu7594]

@@johnsoos6907 yeah I know, not a huge fan of KISS post Love Gun tho. There’s a few good songs here and there ofc👍

[@josephzummo9685]

The show was great. Never missed it. My mom was a huge Doo Wop fan.

[@Gratefulman1965]

Is Bowzer playing bass in this video? Surprised not to see him Out front! Man, this brings back memories of 1973! I was eight years old.🎶

[@harf59]

Bowzer is playing piano on this song. Fun fact, the drummer on this song was Elliot Randall, known for his guitar solo work on Steely Dan's "Reeling in the years". Elliot was filling in for piano player Scott Simon. When the drummer Jocko came up front to sing, Elliot went to the drums and Bowzer played piano.

[@Oklahoma-Dreaming]

The 50s called. It wants its music back.

[@ShaNaNa242]

That's the whole point of Sha Na Na lol.

[@bwilliams463]

At first I thought Bowser was missing; I forgot he sometimes doubled on keyboard. But that begs the question: where's Screamin' Scotty?

[@ShaNaNa242]

Hell, where's Donny?

[@charliekane135]

I'm sure these were on my American Graffitti soundtrack album. Can't find the credit online

[@tomswanson7446]

I'm old and I'm glad I've made it this far

[@Piwork69]

Isn’t that Jocko or something like that?

[@marcocella590]

Where's Bowser?

[@Muzikgirl67]

Since there's no need for a deep baritone in this number, maybe he decided to sit this one out! Hehehe!🤣🤷🤣🤷🤣🤷

[@marilynsnider8183]

Where's Bowzer? He made Sha Na Na.

[@gregoryduncan3067]

He was playing the piano. I was wondering that myself at first.

[@The_Cyberz]

That hair…

[@martinbrenner6664]

That hairy chest!😂

[@Oklahoma-Dreaming]

“Shah, nah nah!” I think that’s just what the prime minister of Israel said.

[@samiam5557]

I hated Sha na na, copy cat rehashing others songs 20 yrs. later. And not much better than your local pub band.

[@Fiveash-Art]

Meh, Whatever dude .. They were great. Great performers , solid players. Lighten up.

[@mikesmart3850]

Hendrix,Cooper,Lennon,Moon all attended and liked their concerts.Keith Moon toured with them on many occasion,acting as emcee. Shame you never saw them live. Not bad for a pub band then.

[@Fiveash-Art]

@@mikesmart3850 And who doesn't love a bit of nostalgia?

[@johnsoos6907]

These guys used to have their own TV show.
