- Hank Marvin, Bruce Welch, Brian Bennett & Sir Cliff Richard perform 'Apache' & tell the story of The Shadows' first UK #1.
From the BBC4 documentary 'The Shadows at 60'. - Hudba
Folks of my generation (I'm 76) hear 'Apache' and are instantly transported to the days of their youth.
"thank you very much," indeed.
Concordo, quanti bei ricordi.
Hank Marvin deserves so much more recognition than he ever got. The man was the first English guitar hero
Bert weedon
He's well-known enough for their achievements I feel. And you will need to remember there's never first. One might say that Lonnie Donegan was the first guitar hero given that he single-handedly set off a Countrywide skiffle craze.
David Gilmour of Pink Floyd was inspired by Hank's style and the Fender.
@@cycleSCUBA We all know Music is found in every known culture. It became very popular beginning the 50's in Great Britain. Credit goes to the Shadows lead man HANK shoveling pop instrumental modern music on electric instruments/guitar The craft & skill created by him basically propelled a great number of past famous musicians & bands that appealed audiences,
@@sempereadem54eadem64 bert was great..hanks apache was better though
I'm 72 years old.They have still like a first day performance.It's increadable and wonderful.
Agreed
First day performance ❤😢
@@tintuntintunnyine8341 I'm 75 and still have this on 45rpm, somewhere among the stuff that will go to grandies, one day 😀
Brought tears to my eyes to see how great they are after 60 years.
I love the shadows music if I could play like Hank I would feel great thank you Hank for being the best I love listening to you
I enjoy your music hank
My late Dad, a guitarist himself, was a huge Shadow's fan and had Apache running through his blood until he passed away in August 2018. He played it so well. When I hear Apache I think of Dad.
Music, friendly, Freedom!
When I hear Wonderful Land ,I think of a favourite cousin that passed .I turn it off ,usually ,when it's played . Keep safe from this horrid virus ,Shane .
Awe. Sweet, precious memories. My late husband, also a professional guitarist, was a huge Shadows fan and loved playing their music with his original, local band when he was at home.
Bless you!
Im sure, he's watching you from the heavens.
Stay safe, stay strong, stay healthy!

If USA had got there great tunes they would have been amazed.the very best group of guitarists .!ever and ever.!!!!fact .
Not many bands can reunite 50 years later to play again with same line up. Respect. Legends.
@Bad Lieutenant
Yes and what a lineup! 👍
not really a reunion, as hank wasn't in the studio....?
@@pharoahegypt Hank has lived in Australia for decades now so it's a long way to travel for any knd of reunion.
I get your point but Jet Harris & Tony Meehan were on the original sadly gone now : 🤔🙀🎸
Legends of music
I listened to The Shadows when I was a kid. Loved them then. Love them now. Love them forever
From childhood until now...running through my blood. The Shadows.
That rhythm guitar play is outstanding !!!!
The lead guitar's not so bad either.
The sound of the 60's is unmistakable, a wonderful time with the best music.
Proper, genuine talent and such nice guys. We’ll never see their like again. God bless ‘em ! 👏👏
So many decades ago. Thank you.
It was a hit around the world, and every Juke Box was having a blast of Apache.
The Shadows and the Ventures literally ruled the world with their music, motivated many to pick up the Guitar, and still continue to do so. Their music is eternal.
and dick dale too, dick dale & the del-tones.....
Except Americans got the Dutch version of Apache with more sounds in it... we never heard of Hank Marvin or the Shadows...
The quality of Hanks unique style is completely brilliant gave them a unique sound
I remember it well (I'm 82) and it WAS different and pretty easy on the ears. It's nice to see other older guys still playing and enjoying it. Thanks guys.
No matter how old a person gets, the music from their youth stays young.
The music from my earliest years makes me want to boak. Alma Cogan? Danny Kaye? Gimme a break!
@@Ndlanding I don't know Alma Cogan and I had no idea that Danny Kaye sang at all. I thought he was strictly an actor/comedian.
@@faithfulforever6331 Danny Kaye (born David Daniel Kaminsky...was an American actor, singer, dancer, comedian, musician, and philanthropist.
But you sure don't want to hear his songs, IMHO. You have lived a charmed life.
@@Ndlanding I guess I don't' want to hear Danny Kaye's songs, because I didn't know he sang at all and I lived during that time period.
@@Ndlanding What about "Singalong" with Max Bygraves?
As a 13yr old my bedroom was covered with Shadows photos. I bought all their records singles EPs and their very first LP which has a track Nivram - Marvin backwards. Great to see& hear them sounding just as superb 60 yrs. on🏴
Bruce Welch told me that this documentary was filmed in November 2019 and that The Shadows didn't get to see any of the footage before it was first broadcast in Spring 2020.
I met Bruce a few years ago very briefly. Absolute gent. Just a really lovely down to earth guy. Oh, and a great musician.
Bruce’s guitar playing was second to none, for keeping the beat tight.
Wright now, being 78, guy is still one of the best rythm guitarist's on the world.
WujekDobrelody
Are you saying there are better rhythm guitarist's in space?
@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 No, because they couldn't breathe. And please get rid of that apostrophe.
Yes, I like Springsteen, too.
'Here here.
Classic music and these guys still are great.
I saw them live in Cambridge, a good part of my life, first heard in my youth, never forgotten, how one tune creates such lasting memories.
I had to watch this 5 times. Brings back my young days
One of the most iconic tunes ever written. Been playing it like forever.
How many , if anybody, can sound as good as they did 60 years ago?? Yep, 60 years!!! Only The Shadows!!👍👍👍
Are they 100 years old yet ? .
I actually remember this. Ho hummmm... I'm old now too.
Hienoa😀
Moikka tuttu biisi😊
@@fordism.01 ñññ
Inspiring. Great to see these men so enjoying life. This music makes me think of my Dad, (Class of '58) R.I.P old man, the greatest ever.
After ages .. you guys are really great , music that will never forgotten to whom ever have heard this ... wonderful old guys
The music of my youth. More than 50 years later, it has lost none of its charm. The magic remains intact.
Brings back memories
Without doubt the very best instrumental of the rock n roll era and my personal favorite to this day.Sounds as good now as when I first heard 60 years ago.Timeless.
Oh yeah? What is an Apache? Had to look it up didn't you. You think your heroes knew?
Notice Americans got the Dutch version of Apache with more sounds in it... we never heard of Hank Marvin or the Shadows...
Hank looks amazing at 79. He was 80 on 28th October 2021. 💞💖
Almost 60 years. Bring them back from the dead. It's just like day one. Totally amazing! Hank Marvin and the Shadows deserve their walk the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Maybe but Americans got the Dutch version of Apache with more sounds in it... we never heard of Hank Marvin or the Shadows...
Brilliant musicians no other words needed only I love the shads God bless Hank Bruce And Brian
Ohh that music! It takes me right back to the Saturday morning children's film club at my local cinema. They usually played Apache as we went in and settled down, and the sound of it playing loud and echoing round the auditorium gave me chills!
Hello 👋 Pat. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Scott Clifford am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Awesome. I remember them very well. One of my favourite groups.
Apache what a great song man it's been out a long time and I still love it today what a beautiful piece of artwork
That clean twangy guitar sound never ceases to do it for me. Its so pure, sweet honest and there s nowhere to hide like there is with distortion. knopfler and Albert Lee are two more of many fine clean sound exponents. Bless em all.
The Shadows would have to be my all time favourite band. I've seen many greats in concert over the years, but the night I saw them surpassed anything else. I never wanted the show to end. They were also the reason I took up guitar, so Hank and the boys are a very special part of my life.
Apache, one of those songs that always sweeps you away. I've loved this song since I was a kid. And even today at 50, the song has lost none of its magic.
My parents loved these guys and Apache is a timeless piece I love
I was a teenager back then and this guitar style was brand new and amazing to hear.
Wish I had been around to witness that sound when it first came along. Must have been like hearing heartbreak hotel for the first time. Magic!!
Old music never dies, like fine wine only better in time.
Beautiful song, sweet memories, great performance
Happy New year and how are you doing today?
In 1975, I was captivated by the enchanting sound of a guitar playing "Apache." Fast forward to 2024, and I found myself once again immersed in that same sensation. The music resonated with my soul, effortlessly transporting me back in time and compelling my spirit to sway with the enchanting melodies and rhythms. The rendition of "Apache" by The Shadows remains unparalleled.
When I was a little boy Apache by The Shadows was one of my early favored music record. I'm very happy to see those Gentlemen still busy and in a good mood! Greetings from Germany.
Hello how are you doing Michael. I trust you are safe and in good health.
Sounds as good as ever and the guys all look to be fine. Especially Hank, he still has that boyish smile. Your never to old to rock n roll.
Hello how are you doing William. I trust you are safe and in good health.

jorma timberg Hi
No words can express the meaning of what time has abandoned other than being a refugee of the past with no where to run.
what an iconic piece! fantastic time for music in the UK
Hello 👋 Priscilla. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Scott Clifford am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Delightful to see how Hank and Bruce still really enjoy playing this.
I was 7 years old. This was just some the iconic sounds of music that defined the era and was playing in the background as I grew up through the 60's.
Forever etched in my mind...... ✌🏻💕🇺🇸
OMG~~~~~one of my FAVORITE Song titles of all times!! I was 17 when Apache came out!!
So great, so lovely! Hank, Bruce, Brian and Cliff... still in great form after all these years. They were unsurpassed, they are still unsurpassed, they will remain unsurpassed forever!
Yes forever!
Really miss you guys.... You still sound just as good as you did back in the days.... A Shadows reunited album would not be a miss.... thank you for shooting this documentary.
I just love this - was a teenager in the 60s - will always be in my all time top ten -
This is a sound that will forever bring smiles to faces, I loved watching him play at the end..
i'm 35, recently taken up being a guitarist because of mr marvin! this is literal perfection in my mind!
This was the first tune our little high school quartet ever played. I learned everything I knew about rhythm guitar from Bruce Welch. Hank is still a master.
A brilliant instrumental that will live forever - just like Hank; he looks (almost) the same as he did sixty years ago, incredible!
Must be the great Perth weather.
Amazing! Long live the Shadows. Happy 2022. From South Africa.
Hello 👋 Sonja. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Scott Clifford am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
It hurts to get old but more when u see the stars ageing with u. They gave us happiness without boundaries.
They have been my favourite group since my teenage . Still my favourite .I grew up listening to them .I am 66 , still madly in love with them .They made my youth happy .Unmatched .
One of my favorite childhood memories. My father owned a fish and chip shop in Western Australia (the very first to have a jukebox in it, along with pinball machines) and this was played all the time by the kids coming in..., I was 6 and everytime I hear this I go back to being 6 all over again. Thank you Shadows.
We Americans got the Dutch version of Apache with more sounds in it... we never heard of Hank Marvin or the Shadows... did you get Hank?
Shadows was one of my favourite I have all of your pieces on CD. Cliff was my favourites too I I am happy to relisten to this golden era Music. Than you for Re- Member my old memory!!!
Wonderful music . Reminds me so much of the sixties . A golden time .
The first time I heard it was early 1960 in HK. This oldies never die,it is only getting better everyday. I miss Cliff Richard too. Stay healthy every one . Thanks for your music.
Hello how are you doing Samuel. I trust you are safe and in good health.
All those years melt away as they play it together again! I love listening to it. 💖
" Apache" without doubt is their greatest hit.... It's just awesome.
I doubt there are many British guitarists around today who would not confess that they were - at the very first instance - influenced at the very least, to buy a guitar, learn it and play it by these four - fabulous - men.
The Shadows also cemented the Fender Stratocaster into the British rock realm. No other guitar would epitomise the sound of the sixties instrumental playing as much as the good old Strat, with its cutting high-end and bell-like tones.
The Shadows instrumentals were a musical underscore of the whole period.
And Apache was usually the first thing any aspiring lead guitarist would undergo finger-cramps to accomplish.
BRAVO GENTLEMEN ! And yes, they are all real *gentlemen.*
Bruce Welch just always seems to be a completely genuine guy. The young stars of today could learn a few things from him…first and foremost the music is your job…your trade… and ignore all the so called celebrity nonsense.
One thing I can never understand is comments from older people like this one is why you feel the need to imply criticism and indeed be explicitly critical of the subsequent generation. By all means compliment Bruce Welch but why the need to criticise younger people because they don’t fit your mould? As my mother used to say, if you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all.
@@canderson1955 I’m only 24 years old
@@tsb3093 then you should know better.
@@tsb3093 . Nice one kiddo 😉
😅😊q😊p😊
It’s great to see Hank and the lads - especially the wonderful Cliff who is looking back to his old self.
A legend of a piece of music still gives me goose bumps 50+ years after it was released.
What a great emotion! Unforgettable Shadows, they make me remind my youth, my dreams and hopes and a world much better than today.
Was a great tune.i learnt it around 1960 picked up the rhythm part first then learnt the lead. Took me so long to learn it back then age 18 i never forgot how to play it.
Little did I know when listening to Apache as a kid that one day the great Hank B Marvin would set up home on the other side of the world in my hometown, Perth.
Sir Hank Marvin ? Why has this not happened, he's a legend - and a much under-rated all round guitarist. The role model for thousands of aspiring guitarists for 60 years. Lets start a campaign !!
Dude. True.
@@mitchconnerandsometimesjlotoo He was offered the honour but refused it.
@@bertsongs No, he wasn't offered the honour, friend, he was offered an OBE and refused that.
'Guitar legend Hank Marvin revealed he turned down an OBE "for personal and private reasons".
The musician who fronts the Shadows - Britain's most successful instrumental group - declined the honour while band members drummer Brian Bennett and rhythm guitarist Bruce Welch both accepted an OBE.
In a brief statement issued through his personal manager Brian Goode, Marvin said: "I feel very honoured to have been recommended for an OBE and I'm happy that both Bruce and Brian have also been recognised.
"However for personal and private reasons I've decided not to accept it."'
@@ClaimOfRightMuso I stand corrected. I must have misread it back in the day.
My biggest inspiration.I was at the O2.
These were very talented young men and still able to perform today! Outstanding! I am now a huge fan of the Shadows.
The Shadows tune is ingrained in my brain even after decades.As a near teen i heard it on our radio in 60’s in India.Way too back.
See that Americans got the Dutch version of Apache with more sounds in it... we never heard of Hank Marvin or the Shadows...
What an awesome blast from the past! God bless you fellas, thanks for the remembrance.
Back in the days when an instrumental could become a #1 hit. And there were quite a few. Well done, and glad you got together to do it again.
Brings back great memories🥂
I was there when it happened. I had a 10" 4 track tape recorder and added my own words. 'slow down the railway, slowdown the train, my lovers back there,,,,,,,,, and so it continued. Hank Marvin took the guitar to the next level. And now we have Rap!
For me emotions are shaken awake, I get tears in my eyes. Simply great to see this old hand again. Thank you heroes.
Big Daddy, did you mean "hand" or band?
Hank Marvin , Bruce . . . , Wow ! the late 60s heroes are still popular. For many decades they have ruled the music world . I'm a big fan of SHADOWS . 🎸🎤📻🎹
When I got my Mexican made Fender strat back in 2011, I quickly had the pick-ups swapped out for 50's ones, as I'm a huge shadows fan and wanted my strat to sound like Hank's, the result of the pick-up swap was my strat sounds just like Hank's, especially with that authentic Shadows echo added 😁
The shadows are absolute legends, their music will remain timeless forever and be loved and enjoyed for many generations 👍🏻
Il y a un groupe peu connu qui s'est approché très peu d'eux dans la sonorité : The Mustangs, un groupe finlandais.. leur leader est très doué. Mais je suis d'accord H. Marvin et ses potes reste le plus extraordinaire groupe de guitares 🎸 et quel son !
The Legends from my early teens.
Fantastic
WHAT A SOUND. A perfectly constructed and performed melody as timeless as the sun breaking through the clouds on an Autumn day.
100% behind you on your comment :)
Me too !
Great to hear and see them, still playing very good. 👏👏👏👏
I have ALWAYS been a huge fan of The Shadows and saw them when they played in Melbourne - their skills have never waned ...
Lots and lots and lots of love to the whole team and Thanks warmheartedly..
Regards ✌👊🙏🙏🙏🙏
They still got it; after all these years !
I listened to this when I was 10.
Unable to distinguish this version with what I first heard back in the old days. Still such a fabulous iconic tune.
Timeless legends
Sometime in the early '70's I was in North Finchley looking for a certain road, I stopped my van, went up to the first person that I saw ... clip-board in hand (I was working) didn't look straight at the person who I had 'accosted', he then started to give me directions, it was then that I looked up and realised it was Bruce Welch !!! OMG ... I was beside myself, I hadn't a clue what he was saying, none of it was going in !!! I just said thank you, got back in my van, calmed down, waited awhile and then asked someone else !!!
Man I love this, I’m a fan of the shadows here in the U.S, I’m young but the iconic riffs of the shadows inspire me truly timeless
??? Americans got the Dutch version of Apache with more sounds in it... we never heard of Hank Marvin or the Shadows...
What a nice bunch of guys, Bruce had me laughing at the end. No 1 band in my book. ♥️😁
Yes and he still has that original Fender Strat custom shop.
@@krishnaidoo6221 These guys didn't show up brash and wierd, they relied on their musical skills rather than the crazy appearances and aberrations of what is called POP These days, complete with all the electronic studio gizmos and two chord wonder vocals which seldom have more than three words in'em. Terry Offord
@@terryofford4977 Yes. And don't forget that you can't make it in music these days unless you have "backup dancers" because, you know, you can't hold the attention of the youts without backup dancers. Sarcasm implied
@@terryofford4977 WTF is a two-chord vocal?
@@krishnaidoo6221 Oxymoron there.
Our band, The Gathering, played Apache at our country high school speech night around 1967. Loved The Shadows and saw them live in Shepparton Victoria around the same time. Still play the tune!
Hello 👋 Glenn. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Scott Clifford am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Always was , and always will be one of my all time favorite tunes, so perfect and fits the era then and now, thank you.
Love love love the Shadows!!!
Hello 👋 Karen. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Scott Clifford am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Love them! Always will! Reminds me of my dad, he loved them too as a young man in the 60s .... BSA, Norton, triumphs, Etc.... when England was truly great!! 🏴🏴🏴🏴👌🏽👍🏽😎
There are no words to describe such good music. Simply unrepeatable 😕
Hank you're the best guitarist of all time bar none even though I love Knopfler, Clapton, the Edge, jJimmy Page, Gerry Mcgee etc, and the reason is simply because you don't have any room for error, your notes are the words. Been lucky enough to hear you live.. Wow what a gift God gave you..please don't stop giving us new music..
