One of my very favourite tunes. It was released in August of 1962 about one and half months before my 13th birthday. Everytime I hear it i get shivers up n down my spine. And yes... i have the 45rpm vinyl.
Remember this , sitting outside lodge lane , in collier row , Romford ,, great sound great track , think bungalow was one of parents places , they would rehearse , come out to us kids waiting outside after school , give us signed photo never forgot , them. , they were bully Fury's backing group too , I used to sing a lot of his songs cover his voice , too , change my voice was member of equity once , met many people that worked with billy fury , loved , this Telstar always inspired me , met the backer of joe meek the man known as the colonel, told him this song Telstar would be on lots of compilations, he said great , we got talking because I was playing it in my car , he heard it , and we talked for a while about 35 Years ago now , met him a couple times , , Telstar, always inspired me gave me energy strength , god bless these guys,
The instrumental tune of my birthyear 1962. The planets, the stars, the zodiac and the Moon were all in harmony and unison. The longest day of the year was Thursday, June21st 1962. Historic, nostalgic, heavenly and in equilibrium with alignment with the oceans tides lapping at the Worlds shores. Serene scenario and tranquility. Quiet yet constant. Longevity, yet genius harmony, and mysterious calm the Moon was in Cancer of the Zodiac. The Tornados created the perfect mysterious tune of all time.
I heard this many years ago when I was knee high to a grass hopper, every time I hear it know my heart lifts.. Absolutely beautiful. Time certainly flies.
Thank you for your service, Sir. Through Telstar, you have presented a work that has helped sharpen our sensitivity to the environment and its transformation.
The day i dont get goosebumps from this song is the day i die. I was 2 years old when this came out, and my mum always said i wouldn't eat breakfast or do anything till she played this on the old gramophone !
The original Joe Meek Tornados were, I think, the first British number q in the USA. I was 9 yo when the record was made in N London in a flat above a handbag shop. I lived not far away.
Just the melody made the world feel hopeful and at peace. But humanity just couldn’t handle the peace and lost their hope. And THAT is why we are in this mess today.
I remember original with Tornados and Heinz, view it in context first satellite launch to really appreciate it, glad it has a whole new audience some 56 years later - not many songs can say that
I have been searching UA-cam for an early 1960s "live" recording of this sublime piece to no avail. However, I have just come across this and I'm blown away! You guys are incredible and seeing Telstar being played just reinforces what an incredible composition it is. And - what a rhythm and pace. Bravo Guys and many thanks for doing it and sharing on UA-cam. BTW, I was three years old when Telstar was first recorded.
Saw them years ago on the South pier in Blackpool,they would arrive in a turquoise blue mini (16GXX) made my holiday seeing them also saw Heinz in a pub where I live, those were the days.
TELSTAR should and can serve and is historically fit to be the service hymn of the new US Space Force. Let the current USSF personnel write the lyrics. TELSTAR premiered when it did in the height of the Kennedy Administration, called "The New Frontier". "Space, the final frontier". I remember this time as come-and-gone, quickly-vanished, magic period of the early 60's, when America bloomed like no one ever expected, imagined or hoped - beautifully. Within all that progress, and prosperity came TELSTAR AND this new electronic music were born ABOUT THE SAME PERIOD. IMHO, Telstar represents and the song celebrates this one thing happening, this milestone and the spirit of the new age. So Telstar really means new birth and promise, out of the old, bravely into the new - neverbeforeseen or imagined possible, instaneously appearing everywhere; like the great song on every AM radio in America, Europe and Australia was almost all of us were first UNITED in worldwide communication, [whotta milestone!]; that the word-free song capped it ALL, the wonderful/miraculous fantastic promise of the aerospace future that had JUST been born and so wonderfully, down deep, this great song, somehow, celebrates with total rapture; despite the doom of the new-decade-old Cold War, the ashes, PTSD, ice from WW II was dissipating, . . . We are going on forward into a NEW light - TELSTAR.
Yes, I saw that laptop computer, and thought, this couldn't be an original performance - but it's one by one of the original Tornados many years later.
I've listened over and over to this trying to compare it with the original. The keyboard is more modern and powerful, although this sounds super, it isn't the same. The la-las are more powerful too than just Joe Meek on the original.
It's fantastic to know that there is still a Tornados band out there somewhere as they have always been my favourite musical group right from way back in 1962 when Clem Cattini and the original group has come about! I wish I could get to know more of if their is the Tornados going even now even with even a revised group, I know Roger Laverne passed away some time ago but I thought his playing the Claviola was absolutely great. Tornados - Are you still in the music at the present time? Present group seems fantastic on even you tube! Tell me more if possible. Frank THEAKER.
None of these musicians were in the original Tornados that recorded Telstar. Only Dave Watts has any connection to the Tornados at all as far as I can gather as he joined in 1965, the same year Clem Cattini, the last of the original members left and three years after release of the single. In fact, four of the original Tornados did get together again in 1975 to re-record Telstar in Stereo but never toured together again.
Yes we are very aware of the history, Dave Watts ( legal owner of the name )was a member of the band from 1965 after people left or got fired and recorded many sessions and releases for Joe Meek at 304, right up to Meeks death and carried on beyond, in fact, none of the 'origional' members as you call it attended Meeks funeral.....such a shame. Dave carried on flying the flag as those who left forfeit the rights after quiting leaving to those left.
@@the_Tornados They would have hardly have been likely to go to his funeral considering how they had fallen out with him by then and were fighting to get paid the money they were owed for years after their Telstar success.
Yes Susan , I adore the whole recording but like yourself I've always thought those vocals enhance an already great instrumental , evoking a sense of an awesome cosmic sublimity ( if I can put it that way )
I love the original too , the best instrument in this for me is the bass , listening to it on me tablet its hardly heard but on a good stereo its absolutely awesome.
Well, it's a live version of the song by the guys who are/ were keeping the Tornados( one of my first music loves!) music going. The clavioline organ style instrument sounds close to the original. Very unusual sound, great track. I have virtually all the songs they released on an anthology cd.
Cameraman don't know how to operate a camera pan and scan..... why do they often times turn the camera off away from the most important part of the song during the guitar solo ?... if you're going to use a camera turn it down to the floor and watch the foot tap so that nobody can see the band members
@@Buzzer365 you said we are a fake band, there are many 60s recordings that Dave performed with Joe Meek under the Tornados banner, long after the Telstar lineup left or got fired.
One of my very favourite tunes. It was released in August of 1962 about one and half months before my 13th birthday. Everytime I hear it i get shivers up n down my spine. And yes... i have the 45rpm vinyl.

I was 6/7 years old when I heard this music stuck in my head all these years . Brings tears to my eyes everytime I play or hear it

Charles ...you are one lucky soul....and Telstar was the perfect anthem for your birthyear...Kudos!
this songs nearly 60 years old one my all-time favourite songs
Same here George, and I'm 73 this year, glad some of the original group are still around!
when i leave this world and my spirit soars to the skies i want this played
@Peter Smallwood I hope you're pleasantly surprised to find out you do....
Same here mate
Yes. I would want also want "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" by Python.
Me too! 👍❤️
ME TOO!!!
I heard this many years ago when I was knee high to a grass hopper, every time I hear it know my heart lifts..
Absolutely beautiful. Time certainly flies.
I worked in telecom. I have a special affinity for Telstar. I remember first hearing this when I was a kid and I’ve loved it ever since.
I love good music like this , it's good for the soul.
Thank you for your service, Sir. Through Telstar, you have presented a work that has helped sharpen our sensitivity to the environment and its transformation.
Beautiful. I was young and i have bought the 45 L P .It was marvelous .🤩🤩🤩🌠🛰🛸🚀
One of my Dad's favourites. God bless him.
Good to hear you're still hammering this legendary tune out.
The day i dont get goosebumps from this song is the day i die. I was 2 years old when this came out, and my mum always said i wouldn't eat breakfast or do anything till she played this on the old gramophone !
It got me like that too
Year 2021 and still confirmed: this is the best instrumental song EVER
I loved this song
This is the first instrumental record that really turned me on to listening to pop music closely followed by the Shadows.
Better Times!
Bon sang... j'ai le LP depuis toujours
I can't move for a very long time, bravo! very very strong!
Absolutely TIMELESS!
This band should have been here in the USA there are one of the first band that had a hit before the Beatles
They performed in Vegas in the 60,s im sure
The original Joe Meek Tornados were, I think, the first British number q in the USA. I was 9 yo when the record was made in N London in a flat above a handbag shop. I lived not far away.

Su majestad la música en todo su esplendor.. Saludos
SUPER AWESOME !! GREATEST INSTRUMENTAL EVER !!!!!
I remember original with Tornados and Heinz, view it in context first satellite launch to really appreciate it, glad it has a whole new audience some 56 years later - not many songs can say that
This was the favorite tune aboard the SS France on her maiden voyage from Le Havre to New York in 1962.
Fabulous instrumental!
Good performance. Dave was enjoying this!
Majestic!
Зараз таких шедеврів не пишуть.

There's something oddly creepy and beautiful about this song. It was one of my favorites before I was even 2 yrs old. I've never figured it out.
WowWow..! 📡🔴🌌 greetings from Finland
love this and always have
Интересная группа..первый раз слушал..приятная легкая музыка
Thank You!
Happy Birthday "Heinz Burt" !
Wonderful ❤❤❤
Saw them years ago on the South pier in Blackpool,they would arrive in a turquoise blue mini (16GXX) made my holiday seeing them also saw Heinz in a pub where I live, those were the days.
Simplemente amo esta canción ❤❤❤
Lo maximo vieras tu nano.. como la disfruto.. Me transporta al pasado.. Saludos
What's that sound? A wind? No.... a tornado!
They dont make music like this anymore nowadays. What a shame.

Yes , I whole heartily agree . It must be adopted as the hymn of the US Space Force !!!
Good ol' boys!
i had the original 45rpm of this for many years, this was a blast from the past..
Yes, I saw that laptop computer, and thought, this couldn't be an original performance - but it's one by one of the original Tornados many years later.

Se siente paz con esta chida canción bien por los mejores músicos de los años 50s 60s y 70s eran innovadores y transmitían lo que componían

Amazing ... they got a few chords wrong in their own song 😮😊. ... at least, not the same as the original.

ahhh me
you cant beat the original
Absolutely, the 1962 Joe Meek production is genius.

There's NO original members here from Joe Meek's 60's houseband who recorded "Telstar". Rip off.
Probably best to learn your history first.......Dave Watts is on organ. But thanks for your comment.

No clavioline? The Yamaha sounds like crap.
@@jglee6721 correct, well spotted, genius, no clavioline, although Dave Watts has one from 304.... but they sound crap too.
@@the_Tornados Thanks for answering. I'd imagine the age of the equipment and obsoleted technology didn't help.
The organ sound is so wrong!
