This song is almost 60 years old, and it isn't just still good, it is still awesome, if not better every time you hear it. And not just Van Morrison's voice but the guitar, the drums, the harmonica, the whole vibe of that song is simply so great, it makes me wanna get in my car and just drive.
I can agre.too The plint of view its comp.too The stund off poping up as a hit all this 60 years trofé. The fact it makes me happy.thanks for sharing... ❤ 2:47❤ 2:47
In those days it was almost impossible to hear bad music. We were wherever we went surrounded by fantastic, exciting, enchanting music. In shops, pubs, clubs and private parties and when visiting friends. Everywhere fantastic music and completely different atmospheres. From folk to jazz, from soul to rock and so on, but always brilliant. It was pure abundance.
Man, just listened to this in Wild At Heart film and didn’t realise it was a Belfast band, or Van Morrison. So much to learn about the 60s. What an era.
I'm so lucky to have lived and enjoyed this era of music, this type of music is still in demand and will be for years to come. People really enjoyed the down to earth musicians, and groups that formed, not only in the UK but right across the world
First time I became aware particularly about this song was in 1975 when I was a 22yr old disc jockey and I put on the first one hour video compilation VHS-tape on our brand new VHS-player (one of the three first VHS-players in discoteque clubs / dance halls in Denmark) ... but it was performed by Gary Glitter! LOL I think it's a great song, still do, and Van Morrison is a great singer
This was my introduction to the song back in '64. I was 7 and my older cousin played it. I think I became a bluesman then and there. Still singing with a band but never sounded this good.
Such an outstandingly MARVELLOUS rendering of a GREAT classic song by the BRILLIANT VOCALIST and FOREVER GREAT MUSICIAN, Van Morrison--- LOVE ❤️ Evelyn O'Connor
I have seen Van 8 times from 1974 thru 1982 in Austin TX. Small venues- always superb shows. I am a lucky guy, along with being at the right place at the right time.
It truly amazes me that so many of those early Brit rockers really “GOT” the blues and gave it their own spin. I can also hear a little surf guitar in there, which is really, really cool.
to be honest the stones, them, the animals, the pretty things played better blues then muddy waters, or any bands from the south of the macon county line.
@@littlebigjohn69 Huh? Have you ever actually listened to Muddy? Not to mention most of the Brit guys couldn't sing the blues for shit or play harmonica well. Van and Steve Marriott were good singers, as was Eric B., but c'mon, Keith Relf? Jagger? Those guys couldn't hold a vocal candle to the Wolf or Slim Harpo or Junior Wells. And here's the thing, they knew it. The only truly decent harp players were Marriott and later Plant. Most of Clapton's guitar riffs in the early days were lifted from Albert King and other black guys. The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, now THAT was a band with three white guys who knew how to play blues -- probably because they learned it from the guys themselves, not by listening to records. Your comment betrays a really deaf ear and a total ignorance of how all this music developed -- go to any black gospel church on a Sunday and you'll hear the better "rock 'n' roll" ever that you will never, ever hear on a K-Tel compilation. No British rocker worth his salt would agree with your comment. You're confusing 60s rock 'n' roll with actual blues, which is a multi-faceted genre that had been around for decades before John Mayall realized it existed. Heck, just google Magic Sam for an education -- his guitar sound blows half the rockers you've heard out of the water.
@@emmetrobert4425 sorry your showing your bias here, i heard and been to some concerts with howling wolf, bb king (he was a good guitar man but boring as hell), back in the late 50s and early 60s and yes they were the originater of the blues but me personally and this my opinion and taste i rather see VAN MORRISON or eve ERIC BURTON OF THE ANIMALS . i have the stones album 12 by 5 and the early stone album i listen to it millions of time and Jagger has it by far better than any original blues guys. Playing the blues and im not a musician but have good hearing is very simple only needs is a good voice and a good harmonica . by the way i respect your opinion and comes down to taste.
Absolute classic ryhthm and blues, by one the great groups and song from the rockin' 60's. Don't underestimate this bands musical ability, they didn't come much better than this ever!
I remember buying this epic tune on vinyl back in 77 when i was a punk rocker. It still means more to me than anything I listened to back in the day. Love Van Morrison
Got to see Them in concert in 1964 or 65 at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium. Great great show. Then in the late 70s Van Morrison played a little club in Sacramento called Crabshaw Corner. It held maybe 50-60 people tops. Another great show! I feel really lucky.
Way ahead of the times, still just as cool as back in the old days, And on flipside Gloria, 2 great tracks on a single 7" . Must have been in 60's and yet it still does something inside me.
@@barbarawatson5822 They were the three non african Amerikans who could sing like the ones Van, late Joe Cocker and Eric Bourdon. I'd like to know yours five rock's Gods
Brenden Stop picking a fight with me, I agree with you say 99.99.99.99.5,I have said for many years that my almost next-door neighbor MICK and his palls from them Rolling Stone, borrowed, stole, nicked a million music, vocal and songwriting ideas from Van and Them boys and they never paid a red cent. But Van been the very best rocking singer out of Ireland for the past 50 years what about Saint Phil Lynott and the most Holy Rory Gallagher
@adebahn I refuse to disagree with you on this very important world item on brilliant rocking music because you are completely correct in what you said.
Man Van Morrison was so young. This was one of my all time favorite songs they did. Man I was there was a station that played only these songs. This is when music was still music & meant something, not like so who say their musicians & spew trash . Love my oldies .✌️
I have fond memories of this song due to my mum playing Van’s greatest hits on tape in her car when I was a young lad. I’ve come back to this more than 30 years later because this song SLAPS.
G-L-O-R-I-A, Mystic Eyes and Baby Please Don't Go - - who knew it was THEM - - they were great and I still have their 78 LP and it may even be on one of my still working 8 tracks
Awesome...never heard this song before...thanks for posting and thanks for You Tube....to me this is as good as it gets...I can see playing this song full blast in an old pickup flying down the backroads at sundown....fantastic..
I thought it was great when I saw it on Top Of The Pops as a kid way back then, and it stands the test of time. Great driving beat, distinctive vocals and a dramatic lyric, still great!
I've heard several versions of the song including one that I really like by Aerosmith but I have to say this one is my all-time favorite. Not only did it have the Great Van Morrison with the band that started his career, the sound was just so unique bluesy and soulful. ❤️
Used to listen to brothers record collection and them LPs were amazing loved them ever since...I was 14 and now still rockin to this type of music ...just amazing!!!!
Them were a rock group formed in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in April 1964, most prominently known for the rock standard "Gloria" and launching singer Van Morrison's musical career. The original five-member band consisted of Morrison, Alan Henderson, Ronnie Milling, Billy Harrison and Eric Wrixon. Wikipedia
Oh...simply "fab"!!!...how it takes me back. Such great times,great music and great bands and singers who were all so very different,unique and unforgettable........I own/play so much and so many albums from all the years,this included but somehow,just sharing with like-minded souls on YTube at times means others have similar feelings as to exactly what you like,too,which is just wonderful!

Absolutely, every other week there was a new song or group, really exciting times, we were indeed very lucky!
Man, just listened to this in Wild At Heart film and didn’t realise it was a Belfast band, or Van Morrison. So much to learn about the 60s. What an era.
This band reminds me a lot of The Animals
Brilliant vocals.
And the Band played awesome 👌 👏
One of my top ten oldies!!💋💋💋💋
Sure glad we can hear great music like, Them. Still Rocking at 76yrs old. Never get tired of great music like this.
Keep on ROCKING Charlie.

Great to have been a teen in the days of Them magical never to be repeated and I'm 76 now
I got you beat. I loved this song when it came out.
And this is why so many of us became rabid rockers... and still are 50 years later. Love live rock!
correct ! keep rockin'!
This isn't live, it's the recording, remember it well
This is blues
Judi Harbin very well said

There are a few songs you throw on the turntable 50 years on and they still do the same..

Van and Them rocking a classic blues song 😎
Quite possibly the most exciting 2 minutes and 40 seconds ever committed to tape. Brilliant!!
Such an interesting persona Van has. Not easy, but interesting. Excellent music of course.
a drunk irish .... what else ! If not a singer he could have been a excellent terrorist.
Every thing here is solid gold...

Cat was so shy he would sing with his eyes closed and even turn his back on the audience. And yet such a talented singer.
I think you meant Jim Morrison Erg baby, Van wasn't shy.
The eyes closed thing is just an Irish thing.

Stunning. Pure passion - as it should be.

I loved the Early 60's R & R
That has got to be amongst the most spine tingling pieces of guitar work ever put down to vinyl ! Gets me every time
Jimmy Page played guitar on this track.
@@muaythaisocial647 Yeah,but I think it's Big Jim Sullivan who plays lead.
A brilliant arrangement and performance of the song, with Van on top form. And the groovy 60s audience make me so nostalgic ....

It's raw, rough and gets you in the guts! Brilliant !!!

great old film, with the very young Van the Man, singing a great old blues song.
Que jovencito se le ve al genial Van Morrison. Ya tenía su gran voz, y su amor por el blues 💪👏👏
I love this record it's absolutely brilliant pure blues awesome
I used to haunt the 2nd hand shops when I was a kid and this was one of the records I found. I paid about 5p for it. I miss those old junk shops.

"Here Comes the Night" another great song!
Here comes the night
in 1968 it was 33 rpm for LP’s. This was my first 45 rpm single. Van when he was at his best. Never improved himself after Them
I first heard this when I was a kid, still love it. It just has an attitude that whips, its so good.
J'avais 10 ans j'ai adoré comme "Gloria" du même disque,

Ted Nugent's version for me.
Geordie did a great version also & I wonder if AC/DC were influenced by it ?
THEM. What a great time to be Alive it was just so Fabulous or something else like F A B.
Even when he's *lip-synching*, Van's got soul. Classic track -- thanks for posting!
That lead singer had a great future ahead of him!
In those day's young kid's knew the evolution of their music where it came from.
music of yesteryear..that sounds good in any given year
