- The Shadows performing their rendition of "Apache", released originally in July, 1960.
It reached #1 on the Ireland (Evening Herald) chart, #4 on the Australia (Kent Music Report) chart, #6 on the Germany (Official German Charts) chart, #10 on the Netherlands (Single Top 100) chart, #1 on the New Zealand (Lever Hit Parade) chart, and #1 on the UK Singles Chart.
In March 2005, Q magazine placed "Apache" by the Shadows at number 96 on its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks.
It was written by English songwriter and composer Jerry Lordan and first recorded by Bert Weedon. Lordan played the song on ukulele to the Shadows while on tour, and liking the song, the group released their own version which topped the UK Singles Chart for five weeks in mid-1960.
Lordan came up with the tune in the late 1950s. Lordan was inspired to write the song after watching the 1954 American western film Apache, saying that he "wanted something noble and dramatic, reflecting the courage and savagery of the Indian Apache warrior Massai, played by Burt Lancaster.
It was originally recorded by British guitarist Bert Weedon in early 1960, but remained unreleased for several months due to promotion and release problems. However, Lordan did not like Weedon's version of the song, as he thought it was too jaunty.
For this reason, whilst on tour with Cliff Richard and the Shadows, Lordan played the song on his ukulele to the Shadows, who liked the song and recorded it in June, quickly releasing it in July, 1960.
Singer-guitarist Joe Brown had bought an Italian-built tape echo unit that he did not like and gave it to The Shadows' guitarist Hank Marvin, who developed a distinctive sound using it and the tremolo arm of his Fender Stratocaster.
Bruce Welch borrowed an acoustic Gibson J-200 guitar from Cliff Richard, the heavy melodic bass was performed by Jet Harris, and drums by Tony Meehan. Richard himself played a Chinese drum at the beginning and end to provide an atmosphere of stereotypically Native American music.

I was seven years Old...today 70 ❤
60s song reminds me of my mom..
she grew up in this era..
I was 13 in 1961. I'm 75 now. We had the best music
For sure. I am 75 as well ... and love this and all the other classics as well. And then there's Brenda Lee's SWEET NOTHIN'S to go along with this !!!!!!
I was 13 in 1954.Rock n Roll had not started.
yeah and no vulgar and indecent lyrics tooo
Same Here...I just turned 75 3 weeks ago...I play this era of music before I go to sleep. @@paulmartin8271
Yes you had it easy
Your children and grandchildren will be slaves because of your Liberalism and apathy.
They will own nothing and be happy
Todays children have less wealth and opportunities than your fathers gave you.
So thanks.
Listening this now May 2024. What a genius masterpiece.
me too
Me too, born 1944 !
This is a prime example of a timeless classic
Best instrumental ever (along with "Green Onions," and Dave Baby Cortez's "The Happy Organ")!
Absolutely.....
I had this on a 45 that I bought for 5 cents at the Jukebox Discount Store on 23rd and State Street in East St Louis Illinois.
@@robertburke2253 yep
Prime example of music made by Gen V
I was seven years old too...today 70 and enjoying this wonderful music
DO YOU REMEMBER THE GOOD OLD TIMES 😢😢😢..... love from AUSTRALIA 🦘🦘🦘 DrEva
❤from south africa❤❤❤
lead guitarist smiling because he knows its a masterpiece
Hank Marvin
Like a scene outta The Buddy Holly Story.
Better than the Bert Weedon version. Shadows had a really good sound. Very atmospheric.
Hank Marvin always smiles, like he's doing exactly the one thing he wants to do. He's great to watch.
No, because he knows the meaning of " HARMONY "...
My dad had every Shadows album. This music still takes me back to sunny Sunday afternoons in S Africa.
RIP, Dad, you taught us all we new, all 3 of his sons became musicians, 2 of them semi pro.
Culturally significant. The future generations will thank you for putting this on CZcams.
Nicely said!
Future generations will listen to cRAP instead of music.
@@TheStonedstone You called it right. to say that this music is "culturally significant" is lame as Hell. The culture today in 2024 is smeared, and saturated with pure S--t. Thank God that the culture/music of this country was once worthwhile, and positive..
I grew up in Jamaica. This and many others songs like this were PLAYED on the radio. The Very BEST MUSIC 🙏🙏🙏. I am Grateful for this Period 👏🙏🙏🙏
Tο πρώτο Lp που αγορασα
Apache has to be one of the best instrumental pieces ever produced, certainly for guitar playing. A brilliant piece.
My favorite along with Albatros and Sleepwalk
Giuseppe
Buona
ok let me see
@@BytomGirl And Red River Rock.
I’m a guitarist in a band near Manchester England, we are going to play a Shadows medley including Apache at function gigs. It’s good to know how people feel about this genius band, I heard wonderful land at my mums funeral, and her sisters, somehow we are all in this together and I agree… thank God for this stuff. X
In a Grammar school near Manchester England in 1962, the music master came into class and told the 1st year boys that he had met Hank and had a coffee with him in a cafe in North Wales, and that Hank had said that his one regret was not learning to read music. This was almost certainly a big, compound fib - but I remember it after all these years, and Hank bless him, is still with us to tell us so if he chooses.

I’m 71 and this instrumental stands out the most from the 60s ❤👍
You're just a baby. I'm 76 and this is a go to when I want to hear a good instrumental thro back
The 1960's was a great era for instrumentals...LOVED them and still do!
I'd have to put 'Albatross' in there as its equal!
@@graniterhythm53 Yes that original Fleetwood Mac line-up had some awesome strings!
Ich bin jetzt 71 Jahre alt, aber diese Songs aus den 60zigern sind immer noch die besten und solche Gitarrenriffs bringt doch heutzutage keiner mehr zustande. Und es kommen viele Erinnerungen hoch, wie schön und einfach unkompliziert damals doch alles war.
🇦🇹 Genau so sehe ich das auch! Liebe Grüße aus Österreich.
@@user-fr6ox8gp7j Dankeschön. Da freue ich mich drüber. Es gibt doch viel mehr Menschen als man denkt, die der heutigen Musik nichts abgewinnen können, weil, s einfach nur noch Schmarren sind, wie man so schön in Bayern sagt.
"Apache" by The Shadows always reminded me of a theme to a western film when I was a kid back in the 60's. To this day it still does.
I guess that’s why it’s called “Apache” 😉
Hence the record's success - it tied in with the Western movies and TV series that were very popular at that time.
@@Kevin-mx1vi I guess I was somewhat right back then when I was kid. Just never thought about it that deeply being an influence for western TV shows and films. More of feeling listening to "Apache" when it was played on the radio airwaves which it would have been good for a western film theme back then in the 60's. Which comes to mind now that I think about it, I always did like the theme as well for the TV western show that was on prime time on NBC, 'The High Chaparral' which takes place in Arizona.
Certainly has the spaghetti western sound to it.
@@kokoflash It certainly does.
One of the best instrumental songs of all time !!! Beautiful this timeless sound 👌
64 years later and still one of the best guitar playing out there
Я родился в 1970. Но я люблю эту группу и эту мелодию. Она чистая, без примесей. Лаконичная и позитивная. ❤
Согласен, мальчик Илья 50 годиков 😅
Yes! Brilliant in it's simplicity! Written when American culture had a masculine edge and the women were straight and the chrome was thick! :D
I couldn’t agree more, and you just taught me a new word in my own language (English) “laconic”. Thank you. 👍
@@alecfoster4413good old times..
ja w 1955 i pamiętam ją do tej pory, pozdrawiam
The best performance and song of the shadows. It has rock, some folk and at the same time pop. A masterpiece and still sounds modern.
THEY JUZ KOOLING OUT THEY SMOKING I CAN SMELL DA WEE... HAHAHA THEY BBAADD
So modern that it's still being remixed today
😊😊😊😊
And I think so
Its clearly Rock
I was 16 in 1961, now approaching 79 ( this September ). Apache, Telstar, Sleepwalk and a few others still stick out in my mind, and I even catch myself humming a few bars from them once in a while. I cannot believe that 63 years have gone by since that era. How the hell did I get from there to here !!??
My dad had the 45, listened to it during my youth in the 70's, now at 56 yrs old, I have that 45. 😊
The Shadows were the coolest band in 1960.
Magic stuff.
I’ve always loved this melody ’APACHE❣️😄 Makes me think of the days years ago when I would race my mare over the wide open country of South western Montana where I grew up, hearing the rhythm of her hooves against the hard, dry ground, feeling the power in her hind legs, watching her mane flying behind her strong neck with each sure stride and my own hair streaming behind me in the wind. We would quietly and steadily climb a particular high hill, stop at the top,for brief breather, then RACE downhill to join in with the fleeing group of about 30 to 40 head of elk. Before long they would leave us behind, but it was a thrill to be almost able to reach out and touch these large, powerful yet graceful cousins of the deer family❣️I still feel that thrill of rushing along on my strong and quick-footed little red mare, and my heart begins to race again when I hear ‘APACHE’❣️😄❤️
Tony Iommi was/is a big fan
oh really like waht?
@mikemcclain3421
Well expressed Mike.
You've painted a nice picture for us.
A great short read.
I was not even born til 8 years after this, and Apache, and the Shadows, are still part of my childhood, such was the greatness of this track
Ich habe dieses Lied als Kind gehört Jahrgang 69 und freue mich es bei euch wieder zu hören.
Danke THANK YOU.7.04.24
Der Hammer in den Sechzigern,Gitarrenmusik vom feinsten!
One of the best instrumentals and a true masterpiece.
Ever hear Last of The Mohicans instrumental? Great great piece
My Dad loved them. I remember him playing the vinyls all my life. Still got them xxxx
yes, still got them 01 26 20 24
@@user-gy8pp2vp1o we should have as mom diddnt get rid of any after my dad passed away. I will be picking up his record player and records soon xxxx
As a small child in Ireland in 1960, I was forbidden from singing along with popular music songs, and only allowed to sing traditional Roman Catholic Mass songs, such as the "Kyrie" and "Who's Father Keeler been touching now, anyway?"
But then this song came out. And my father, stern taskmaster though he was, allowed me to listen and to learn this song.
And I am proud to say that even today, so many years later, I still remember and can sing along to every single word of this song.
That would be easy-going.
As a boy in New Zealand at the time I wondered what the Shadows from England knew of the Indians in the Cowboy movies I saw at the matinee.
"Who's Father Keeler been touching now". . . . lol. . . HF . . what's going on here?
@@ClockCutter And just what is an HF? :-(
An HF is what the good Father was trying to give those boys...@@flamencoprof
Why why why can't music be played and appreciated anymore.. This is amazing. From 1960 people
i was born in the 80's and i still love this guitar band.
Wow I’m shocked by how much I enjoyed this song, played by this really cool and timeless band. Mesmerizing.
I love how these boys were 🤞🏻 strumming this hit still today.
Now THAT'S an ultimate and brilliant classic right there!!! The most legendary cigarette smashdown at the end.
You listen to this music, and it's like time stood still, I really wish it had.
I've been obsessed with this song for a few days now. I thought they were closer to 30 years old at first. There is every 'type' from the 1950s counter-culture, except maybe the Jazz-man. You've got bookish Hank with the Buddy Holly glasses, the pool-hall hustler, the James Dean-inspired Rocker, and the clean-cut sweater frat-boy. And somehow they all look cooler to me than anyone I could imagine today.
How cool we all were then
Superb. Two 19-year-olds, Hank & Bruce, Tony was only 17 and Jet was 21. Jet & Tony went on to make some truly wonderful recordings together.
Hank now lives in Western Australia
My Dad was 12 at the time !
In 1960 I was 12 years old; this was one of my favorite songs of that year. I’ve no doubt that I might remember other songs but none that I liked more than this!
Had the shadows greatest hits when I was a kid and this was and still is my favourite, happy days. 😊
One of the best guitar themes ever played.
Прекрасная мелодия - вернула меня в детство. Спасибо большое!
Аналогично)
Мелодия моего детства, когда Боливал не выдержит.
Вечная музыка! Сколько лет прошло, слушаешь и не наслушаешься. Никогда не надоест ❤🎵😊
Согласен !
Согласен.
You can tell these guys are enjoying making their music and love working together.Its nice to see such passion in an incredible ability.
Those are real guitar players. Beautiful song played ❤😊
Of course they are. They are real and they are playing guitar.
There are a lot of comments here from people over 60, and I am no exception. I really wanted to see the musicians playing this cool tune. Now I see it. Thanks a lot.
Umm - they're miming? This is the single you're hearing...
30’s here and won’t stop blaring this to younger generations in an Apache truck
j'❤ce morceau musical c'est toute ma jeunesse les "Shadows " avec ce tube mythique , ses nouveaux sons avec les guitares électriques et les syntétiseurs , qu'était pour moi cette belle époque , que de NOSTALGIE et heureuse à la fois d'avoir vécue cette belle époque des Années 60❤
Have you ever noticed how the great hits have an instrumental start. This instrumental masterpiece has stood the test of time. I grew up in the 60's and keep going back to the 60's and 70's hits.
I've had the honor to play this solo in a band, in front of an audience, Just once, 35 years ago. Will remember the thrill till the end of my days.
⁰😊⁰⁰⁰
was thatby any chance at the Sun Club in Tempe, AZ
@@Ralphieboy Sure it would have been a nice gig, but no. I live on the other side of the pond 😄
My last big gig in the States before moving to Europe was in Tempe, AZ around 1988 and I recall the band playing the middle set did a version of "Apache"
@@RalphieboyYes it was there😊
Love this song this was one of my dads favourite song my dad is not here passed away over 20 years ago sit and listen to it bring back happy memories.
I've listened to rock for 60 years. That great surf sound is still my favorite.
9 years old in 61. I remember this song and it gives me flashbacks and good vibes.
1960. That is 64 years ago. Oh my goodness. This music doesn't sound so old.
It’s like James Dean, meets Buddy Holly & Elvis Costello , timeless.
One of the great instrumentals of the 60s !
The clarity of the music is what makes it special. Each note is clear!
This is one of the best music videos ever.
In 1961 I was 3 years old and I'm still listening 🎶 to this music 🎶 🎵 on the 19th of February 2024 and I'm 66 years old and this music will still be played for many centuries into the future 🎵 🎶
Born in 57 and I'm still listening....great instrumental song here!
Honestly you can't beat it
Timeless!
What wonderful memories when I was a kid. Brilliant!
I was 9yrs old. When I first heard this being played on a mates Danset record player 🎵🎸🎼. Now 72yrs old and still love the shadows 👍🏻
We had a Danset too! Johnny Tillotson, Gene Krupa, Roy Orbison the Beatles!
@@brennenlancashire2465 Also 72 years old.
The best instrumental ever. I used to play in a band in some dis -interested places but when we played Apache, all conversation stopped.
Love it, unique sound at the time.
I can only imagine the experience hearing this song for the first time in a car in the 1960's while you're out with your buddies or your girlfriend.... What a beautiful time to be alive!
I can't get this image out of my head, sitting in the car on a hill overlooking town with the lights shimmering in the distance... it's dark and quiet, then this comes on. Unbelievable.
This song and Classical Gas are without equal. Two of the best instrumentals ever written.
E V E R
The Shadows do a great version of Classical Gas !
One of the best music and also one of the most important bands in the world. Love this song very much.😊
One of my favourite pieces of music 🙂
Hank Marvin. Ghoust rider
What a performance. What a song.
Absolutely never tire of this composition 🤗😇💖✨
Out of this world,I just love the talent,it touches one's soul so deeply
В то время были люди- творцы и романтики!!! Что по одну сторону, что по другую!!!! Всегда оставайтесь людьми, назло политикам, которые «сталкивают « нас!!!
You can listen to any music all over the place... Once you get back to Apache and you realize this is where you have been... 💯
I was born in Gila County AZ, In 1960. Thank you for this wonderful song.🎉❤ 👍.
Hello how are you doing today 😊
Know Gila county well. Owned a bar and restaurant in Globe.
This wonderful song MUST have been used in some western movie at some time in the past 50 years…if not - WHY NOT???
Great moody vid, too…seems really really jazz club inspired…pretty progressive for back in the day…glad to have been able to hear this one again. 73 and still rockin’ my tunes!!
E I ķ7l⁸P
It's instantly recognizable. It won't need a copyright mark because you'll hear this is the Shadows
I’m sure it has been used in plenty of films
I remember it as being surfer music. 😂 I had a reel to reel, 1/4 inch tape with 2 hours of this type of instrumentals on it. I think I wore it out. 😊
I can't stop playing this.
I’m 57..born in 1966, the Music of 60’s is in my conscience..the 80’ Music is the music of my youth , but that Music is based in the 50’s and 60’s..all that Music is the best of all of the times!..
Обожнюю цю мелодію!!! ❤🎉😊🥰
I was 15 when this song came out, sure miss the music. H pi wever i have a good stash of 50's thru the 80' s. LONG LIVE ROCK AND ROLL!!!!
Always loved this music!❤
The first guitartune I heard (5 years old in the'60th) brought me to play guitar for myself.
Любимая композиция, лучшие исполнители! Хит вне времени!
My Lord! The Shadows! Totally my band in my early early years!
Great guys!
I saw Dick Dale play this at Variety Playhouse in L5P (Atlanta) with his young little grand-son playing drums! I think the year as about 1995. The King of Surf Guitar.
Magnificent. I was probably 4 years old when this was recorded, and pretty much grew up with prog and punk. But if someone asked me who my favourite band were, I would reply The Shads.🎸
Lovely to see the guys looking so laid back, just 'jammin' together. Classic video, thanks for this.
Man, I'm digging the whole pakalolo-drenched Beatnik aesthetic, mellowed out, yet still giving a great performance, the clothes, the cool expressions - I wish I could be there!
If you can remember the 60s, you weren't there. 🤣😂🤣😂😎
Yes! These guys emit "coolness"! This is the first time seeing the video and hearing the whole song. I love it!!
Un temazooo un exitaso de esa época tenia yo siete años me encataba escucharlos gracias por el hermoso recuerdo saludos desde Córdoba Argentina 🙋❤👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
Los Iracundos tienen un cover de ésta
Ich bin jetzt fünfzig Jahre alt. Ich habe mir bereits sehr viel "reingezogen" aber mit dem Meisterwerk
( bin quasi aufgewachsen damit Durch meine Eltern. ) verbindet mich sehr viel !!!! Danke auch an meinen Turnlehrer Hr. Latmanig Sporthauptschule Graz 😊
Was brilliant back when it started ..... and still is!!
WOW ...... first time I've heard of them and this song. Great vibes
Just love the excellent guitar work. Shivers all over
Hank was pulling those guitar strings.Great band Great song.
WHAT A GREAT EARLY VIDEO 1960 PLUS REMASTERING ❗ 😜 👍 👏 ✊😁🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 WELL DONE ALL ROUND
Quantas saudades destes tempos maravilhosos da minha juventude.😂
Ja też😧
Por que tá rindo?
At age 13 (1970) l learned the rhythm chords and recorded it on my little Panasonic top loader cassette player. I spent two months listening to the 45 teaching myself the lead. The first time l played it for a couple friends l felt truiy badass! Such a cool song. It still sounds fantastic
And no pitch correction on those players!
I heard this @ ten years old and learned it note for note. I'm 73 now and guitars kept me mostly sane in an insane world.. Learn to play what your heart tells you to.
I was taught it in 1961..Took my mate weeks to teach it to me.I am 83 .
My mates name who taught it to me is Albert Lee.
I love this masterpiece and have since a young child ❤
They were just kids back then. Brucie in a hat. OMG. So cool.
Granted, I was only eight eight years old in 1960, but damn, how did The Shadows manage to stay off my radar screen until recently? I've always enjoyed instrumentals, and these guys really had "it" -- and it's fun to watch Hank Marvin play, he seems to enjoy it so much!
One of my all time favorites
Fantastic group, their music still sounds good today. Hank Marvin is my favourite 🎸🎶
This song is like an old friend. It’s good to see you again.
😢😢😢😢 dad is in my mind. He loved it. 😢😢
Jesus Christ what a melody, what a performance!
Estamos em 2024, é bom saber q tem milhares de pessoas q ainda curtem uma boa música. Mazola
Es extraordinario volver a escuchar a estos intérpretes de Apache....me hacen volver a mi juventud.....GRACIAS ...
Wonderful, unforgettable!! 👍👏👏👏👏
