I used to watch these guys on tv every week. What a great show they had!
Grease for peace
Me too! Grease For Peace! Long Live Sha Na Na!!!! 🎵👍❤
What an amazing group of talented performers. I have been watching these guys since
the 70s and am always impressed.
Loved this show when I was a kid. I think it was on re-runs by the late 70’s, though. I was 2 when this came out. 😂
@SpaceInTime1885 I DID TOO MY MOM AND SISTER'S AND I WE SING AND DANCE TO THE MUSIC 🎶 I WISH THAY STILL PLAY THE SHOW IT WOULD BE GREAT TO SEE AGAIN
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.
Great tv. Nothing compares today
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...
Because you finally turned adult. I did love this even as a kid. Late in your case, but good for you now
They played Woodstock. Sha Na Na had the chops.
Growing up we all wanted to be Bowser. I still love that Sha Na Na woodstock performance.
Loaded with great vocalists.
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.
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.
These guys were always fun to listen to!
Grew up listening to Sha na na. Thanks for this!
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!
didn't things seem simple back then?? damn.
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! 💖
simpler times for sure! 🙂
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
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.
🤯
Except they would be doing it WITHOUT auto-tune or pitch correction.😅
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 🤯!!
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.😂
When I was a kid this is one of the coolest things ever to hear and I used to love watching Sha na na
My Dad and I loved these guys when I was a kid.
I've always loved Sha Na Na. I still love these guys.
I ❤ these guys. Watched their show every week. Johnny was my fave ❤❤
Reminds me of the Blues Brothers!! 🎷
💙💙💙
Grease for peace!
YES!
Loved their music when I was a kid. Bowser was classically trained on the piano
so much fun!
Johnny Contardo with sideburns! Great 😁
Cool!
Best TV show EVER!!!! Bring it back to us on MeTV!!!! ❤❤❤
Bowser was the original Fonz
These guys are so great
Certainly one of the best groups to grace our ears. All super talented
😊❤ALWAYS LOVED THIS SHOW ❤️
I literally just learned about Sha Na Na within the last ten minutes and I am amazed at this level of talent and comedy. Qualities which are lacking in contemporary acts.
I like the shiw they had in the 70s.
Wow..Billy Crystal has a really good voice..
HA!
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.
More talent in one member of this group than anything that exists today.
Might I add - I 'knew' Bowzer as a kid - Disappointingly, he turned into a real 'winner' Ugh
Nobody has the confident stage presence of Scott Powell. Brilliant
This is great, I never saw it. It was a couple years before my time (1975 :) ) but I still got to listen to this, as some relatives liked oldies. I always did too! What I do wonder, why do the singers almost NOT utter the word 'job'??
How many of these guys were the originals at Woodstock?
I believe 4 in this video. Donny York, Denny Greene, John Marcelino & Scott Powell
Jocko (drums), Donny York, Lenny Baker
Too much fun.
What's great is they made it fun! Good times watching Sha Na Na!
Maravillosos, geniales, eternos
i miss when things were fun and we didnt divide each other into boxes and hate. 😞
Not everyone is like that though. Luv ya, even though I don't know ya ❤
1973. I wonder if Fonzie was based on Bowzer
The 70s nostalgia for the 50s was strong…
love this ❤ thanks for posting 😊
Sha Na Na's Classic Lineup
Shboom! ❤
Bowzer!💖
I knew Bowzer when I was younger - He was cool back then; Sad that he turned into a real l'winner' > Ugh
Bowser is still doing shows. He had a gig in July, 2024.
I will always tell them that one guy is Johnny Knoxville. Damn Time travelers :D
Great!!!!
Watched the show as a kid but mom n dad said it was bedtime before it was over 😢. My fav part was the ending😅
I love SHA NA NA since GREASE
Billy Crystal & Kobe Bryant 😆😆
How about we call it what it is Hall of fame classic!
Such good memories of watching these guys when I was a kid!
Lenny on sax , so good
Bowser certainly doesn't look like a trained opera singer.
fantastici
Such great memories! I love these guys!
Always get a kick out of the “two decades ago are a thing” dynamic. The 50s were big in the 70s, 60s in the 80s, 70s in the 90s, 80s in the 2000s, the 90s in the 2010s. Culture works on a very specific pattern.
I love watching this TV show.I Love Jocko from Sha Na NA Billy Crystal from Sha Na NA.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Do you have the Toto episode?
Hello guys I missed you baby Johnny I love you so beautiful handsome man that me ever see
Yes , these guys were good and had a fun tv show as did Manhattan Transfer , good times for all genres
Right up there with the Village People.
billy crystal was in sha na na
Denny looks so handsome.
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").
Not to be confused with former band member Henry Gross's "Shannon," a song that forced Casey Kasem to do a goddamn death dedication about a fucking dog dying!
@@MrMatteNWk Is Don on the phone? 😆
THX for the info - Never thought of it - Always assumed it came from 'Get A Job'
@@JismIsm-en4kz It did...the group's name was indeed taken from this song (note that OP says their incorrect assumption of it being "an expression of delight" was "a guess").
Pretty flat performance w/out gold lame dancing; Where's Screamin' Scott?
These guys had a great act. And it's gay AF 😅
And as a kid back then, i had no idea. Better days...
I lost my virginity to sha na na . This song was playing
Lost mine to Otis Redding😅
Lucky!
🤮
LOL, I found the biden commercial hilarious.
HA - I get it
This is so bad. They could have had Black Sabbath but instead we get this.
Seen them live at the golden rock 50s and 60s nite club in Orlando fl in the early 80s
