Growing up we all wanted to be Bowser. I still love that Sha Na Na woodstock performance.
I used to watch these guys on tv every week. What a great show they had!
Just imagine, if a group like this came out now they'd be preforming songs from the early 2000s
Funny.
What songs 😏
You mean they'd be rapping.
My Dad and I loved these guys when I was a kid.
At the time I couldn’t stand this music. (Along with Disco and Opera) I remember they had a show on tv and id be like sigh……
But watching them now some fifties years later I can appreciate the talent they brought to the stage and pull off a performance like this.
Thanks for the upload MS.
I see what you did, there.
what about Hee Haw?
I hope disco and opera are also on your playlist now...
I had no idea that Billy Crystal was in Sha Na Na.
Yeah, he was great in Sha Na Na, before he became Adam Ant.
Funny. Right at 0:21 I thought, “That’s Billy Crystal!”
😭😭😭😭
Was just about to type the same thing.
I think he looks more like the killer Scorpio in the first “Dirty Harry” movie.
Loved their music when I was a kid. Bowser was classically trained on the piano
Great tv. Nothing compares today
I ❤ these guys. Watched their show every week. Johnny was my fave ❤❤
Loaded with great vocalists.
These guys had a great manager. They played Woodstock in 1969! Then perfect timing when the 50s became in vogue in 1973 (American Graffiti movie and Happy Days TV series) which led to the Sha Na Na syndicated TV series.
Watched the show as a kid but mom n dad said it was bedtime before it was over 😢. My fav part was the ending😅
Grew up listening to Sha na na. Thanks for this!
Seen them live at the golden rock 50s and 60s nite club in Orlando fl in the early 80s
These guys were always fun to listen to!
I've always loved Sha Na Na. I still love these guys.
Certainly one of the best groups to grace our ears. All super talented
As a kid in the ‘70s, born ‘69, I had no idea this was a ‘50s nostalgia thing: Happy Days, American Graffiti, etc. I thought it was all part of our modern ‘70’s culture.😂
Such good memories of watching these guys when I was a kid!
Awesome performance!
That sax solo was fantastic!
Life would be a dream if we could go back in time.
Happy Cinco de Mayo! 🥃
Happy Sunday 🕊 thank you for sharing! 💖
Reminds me of the Blues Brothers!! 🎷
💙💙💙
Bowser was the original Fonz
I wish I was 10 again!
I feel you! My father was the coolest dude ever then!!
Took the words right out of my mouth
10 when I watched that first run on the little B&W in my bedroom. Blown away. I think they were on a Showtime at the Apollo in that same time period.
@@cee8mee I'd sneak in the living room at night to watch. Those were the days!
More talent in one member of this group than anything that exists today.
so much fun!
How many of these guys were the originals at Woodstock?
I believe 4 in this video. Donny York, Denny Greene, John Marcelino & Scott Powell
Wow..Billy Crystal has a really good voice..
I'm so used to the fast paced version from Woodstock. To think this was one of the first "tribute bands". Good upload!
It’s hard for me to imagine this band was at ‘69 Woodstock 🤯!!
Sha Na Na's Classic Lineup
love this ❤ thanks for posting 😊
Such great memories! I love these guys!
Bowser certainly doesn't look like a trained opera singer.
I like the sax solo at 1:35. But it’s funny how each band member, when he has a solo, gets the center Mic. I think this was more common back then. At 1:53 he starts to sing and he’s actually very good. I think maybe this band had more talent than recognized probably because people saw them only as a 50s novelty act perhaps. It’s not exactly my cup of tea but I think they’re very good. One other thing I noticed: they have a great separation of singing types. I can hear tenors and baritones and maybe even a bass singer. It’s truly as if their voices ARE musical instruments.
ShaNaNa was really entertaining
Bowzer!💖
simpler times for sure! 🙂
Grease for peace!
Cool!
I wonder what they thought of this music at the time. It had only been 14 years since the 1950s. That'd be like someone trying to bring back the sound of 2010 right now.
I was a teenager and thought it was cheesy.
Shboom! ❤
Every time I see Bowser, I see Kozmo Kramer (Michael Richards) when he was in UHF with Weird Al (before Seinfeld).
UHF was filmed in Tulsa and the T.V studio was actually owned by Al's Aunt. Fun fact
The 70s nostalgia for the 50s was strong…
I like the shiw they had in the 70s.
billy crystal was in sha na na
I lost my virginity to sha na na . This song was playing
Lost mine to Otis Redding😅
1973. I wonder if Fonzie was based on Bowzer
Right up there with the Village People.
I had to look it up. I guess “Shanana” is an expression of delight. Now I don’t know if the word came from the group, or if the group liked the word and slightly modified it for the name of the band. I suspect the band’s name created the expression. But don’t quote me.
Actually, the name "Sha Na Na" was taken from the chorus background chant of this song...in fact, the group was originally called The Kingsmen, but changed it b/c there was already an act with that name (the band that recorded "Louie, Louie").
Do you have the Toto episode?
These guys had a great act. And it's gay AF 😅
And as a kid back then, i had no idea. Better days...
🤮
