The first video Christie ever made, featuring their worldwide smash, Yellow River. This is one of only two clips made with original drummer Mike Blakley. www.jeffchristie.com
My teenage times! The music was real, the singers were artists, the musicians were real skilled performers. I loved your songs, Jeff Christie. This is unforgettable time.
I’m 72 years old and I was a teenager and this was played on my radio in the the 70s. I retired from the Marine Corps in 2000 after a 30 year career. This makes me feel like a teenager all over again.👍🇺🇸 Great song!!!!
Love this song each time I hear it and it never gets old! Transports me back 45 years in a blink of a teary eye. Definitely in my all time top 10! THANK YOU CHRISTIE!
That was the early 70's when I was a grade 10 in the oeient and move to Texas in 73. You guess it I am an old man. Music stays the same, gone was the time. Thank you for the videos . Back then there were music videos. Grandfather of MTV. Thank you for sharing. 👍👍👍👍👍
I spent the ''summer of '70 all over....best song a I heard whilst traveling ...then back to the states for last year of high school form...turned 18 ... fell in love...best year of my whole life...thanx... Auburn,NY 🌏☮AND💜✝.
Piękne słowa muzyka którą pokochałem dzięki wujkowi na płytach lagowych też czerwone gitary i smokie the Beatles ale Christie i piosenka San bernardino to całkowity szal🎸
So long boy, you can take my place Got my papers, I got my pay So pack my bags and I'll be on my way To Yellow River Put my gun down, the war is won Fill my glass high, the time has come I'm goin' back to the place that I love Yellow River Yellow River, Yellow River Is in my mind and in my eyes Yellow River, Yellow River Is in my blood, it's the place I love Got no time for explanations Got no time to lose Tomorrow night you'll find me sleepin' Underneath the moon At Yellow River Cannon fire lingers in my mind I'm so glad I'm still alive And I've been gone for such a long time From Yellow River I remember the nights were cool I can still see the water pool And I remember the girl that I knew From Yellow River Yellow River, Yellow River Is in my mind and in my eyes Yellow River, Yellow River Is in my blood, it's the place I love Got no time for explanations Got no time to lose Tomorrow night you'll find me sleepin' Underneath the moon At Yellow River Yellow River, Yellow River Is in my mind and in my eyes Yellow River, Yellow River Is in my blood, it's the place I love
I was 13 years old when this came out and it is STILL one of my favourites. A song about a civil war (some say Vietnam) American soldier who has served his military time and now can go home. A timeless subject. Great lyrics , musical presentation. Home - family, friends, peace & quiet. What a song!
@@user-iw8km2no5e The inspiration for the song came from the American civil war and a soldier going home after it had ended. But I see your point, it could be applied to any war or nationality.
I was born in 70 but thanks to my dad this song was a huge part of my childhood. I've bought the Jeff Christie/outer limits solo album and it's fantastic. Thanks for the music Jeff Christie ✌
1970, along with 20 classmates travelling on a train bound for Frankfurt, this song improved our English overnight, as we sang this over and over about 100 times. I'll never forget that.
Amazing sound from just 3 musicians.Shows you that if it is good an authentic you don't need special effects and electronics to be able to make good music.Just pure raw talent.
It was actually recorded by The Tremeloes, with Jeff Christie's lead vocal added afterwards. None of the people in the video played an instrument on the recording.
You poor innocent dope! Read up on the story before making idiot posts like this. The musicians on the backing track are the Tremeloes, and only Jeff Christie singing after the tremeloes decided not to release it with their singer on it. There is also piano which must have been an overdub if not an extra session musician. They gave it to the drummer's brother to release and a band was created around him and Jeff the songwriter and singer to mime on the TV and in the video. That's why they took Jeff's surname for the band! Only their less successful followups were recorded by the band you see in the pictures
Acho que hoje vou morrer de emoção!!!! Que saudades destes tempos!!!! Só hoje pude conferir um video de Yellow River . Voltei ao passado as roupas, os cabelos.... nooooooooossa como passou rápido o tempo.... que saudades.... Obrigado pelo video.
Yellow River - песня из моего далекого детства!!!Обожаю этих ребят и их творчество!!! Очень жаль,что те времена и такая музыка уже заняли свои места на полках архива... Порой этого "коктейля" не хватает ,как глотка воздуха....Спасибо Вам.
Genau so siehts aus.Ich fand den Song auch Spitze,und mußte dabei immer an ein bestimmtes Mädchen denken.Später habe ich sie gefragt,ob sie mich heiratet.L.G.
Мені 54 роки, і я дуже насладжувалася своїм дитинством. Я дуже сумую за тобою... все дуже змінилося. Миру і здоров'я всім вашим людям. Ми молимося за всіх.

I remember when this song got alot of airplay back in the summer of 1970. When I watch you Jeff Christie, singing in the woodsy area, I get a feeling all over again of what it felt like at the time. I miss that era terribly.
Dear Jeff, I discovered "Yellow River" earlier this year on a Swedish retro station at the age 37. It is one of the best pop songs I have ever heard. I conveyed my adoration of the song to my Dad, and he told me that it was a big favourite of his when he was a student in Leeds in 1970. Thank you for the music! Steve
Man does this bring me back...I haven't heard this in years!! Yellow River is anywhere you want it to be. The only place you wanted to be when you were in country..Awesome!!!
Makes me miss all my loved ones that are gone now so much, I was six when they were all dancing to this. The juke box had six records on it and this was one of them ❤ XXX best days of our lives xxxx
Been there,done that--'Nam '69. This was one of those songs that helped me forget THOSE times. Great foot tappin' song! Thanks for the memories,man,God bless you.
Hi Marco, Thanks for your message and good wishes. I loved playing in Brasil at the dawn of the '70's and especially loved the music,people, culture, black beans, Mangera, Rosemary,Caetano Veloso, Sergio Mendes, Roberto Carlos, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Astrud Gilberto, Gilberto Gil to name a few. I shall return! Saudade do Brasil! Jeff
Jeff, you wrote this for The Tremeloes who recorded but later rejected it. You took it and recorded over The Tremeloes version and made it a smash it. What a classic tune you wrote.
Wow just rediscovered this again! Happy memories. And with the original drummer Mick Blakley. I reheard this the other day, and just like before I cant stop singing it to myself like before!
Takes me back to the 70's when everything was so different from now London ain't the same place that i grew up in its changed beyond belief well sad when i think about it what has happened to the place don't hear any parties or music coming out of windows anymore and thats called progression take me back
I am a goi. 53 years old... from circuncised heart.. When i was a teenager i heart this nice song many times and i did not know the name of the group nor the name of the song.. ..but i only heart this one....after a lot of many years i remmered this song.. and so.... really i have never thought to find :( remmember) this short but awesome song in all my life..and.. I am a teenger again with this shy song.. That is incredible ..Toda raba youtube!! Made my day. Shalom YittzjadJehudi. My english is not fluently. but i learn fast.. and indeed/real I do not understand the letter yet.
This is the correct speed I remember when it first came on the radio. I do remember my band The Sunshine Band playing it a bit slower now in Corpus Christi,Texas.Thanks Jeff for the memories!
I just added this song to a post on my Substack. It still sounds great today: ) " I spent a lot of my early years in my bedroom listening to music or grabbing a hairbrush and singing to one of the latest chart songs in front of my mirror. On that note, I will always remember my grandmother walking in on me bouncing up and down on my bed, hairbrush in hand, belting out Yellow River by the band Christie. Now that was a sight to behold!"
Play...play...replay...never tire of this...I was six when this came out in 1970 and my brother walked home with the Epic yellow label 45 of THIS...played on our tube powered RCA console stereo it had such a presence...
This may be the biggest hit yet the LP/CD Christie is well written and worthy of any music fans collection.I ended up buying this on vinyl 2 years ago and still enjoy it.
I am 66 now. Living in Cebu city.Phillipines. This song reminds me back to 1979...when I was working in Hskl.Dpt...Dhaka Sheraton ..and "Miles"....group were playing in "Chameli" restaurant....Oh..those ..golden..happy ..days...
SHUT UP!!! MUSIC IS ALWAYS GREAT. NO MATTER TIME, SOUND OR GENRE...WAIT, YOU ARE RIGHT...TODAY MUSIC STINKS WORSE THAN GAME OF THRONES AND IT'S SERIES FINALLY.
I was only 2 and half years old in the summer of 1970. Maybe they played this song very often in the following summers as well. But I remember very well, and still love so much, this song.
The last few days, late December 2023, I've had this song in my head. Yellow River was on 630 CHED, the rock station here in Edmonton Alberta Canada when I was young. Great, great song !! 👌👍
reminds me of the saturday night parties my late parents had martini and cheese and pineapple on sticks plus lots of cheesey dance tunes god i miss my parents songs like this make me wish i could turn the clock back just for one day maybe xx
Boas lembranças tenho dessa época ,meu falecido irmão tinha uma banda de rock ele tocava muito essa música ,era um grande sucesso da época,bons tempos.
What I loved that song! And now I am older, and I love that song much more. These times were great! I miss them so! And especially Christie. I miss the 70... and the great music, for example "Yellow River" Boys, I love you and your great music! I really miss you!
HEY, TO ALL YOU GREAT MUSIC LOVERS, THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SONG'S FOR GOOD CHILD HOOD MEMORIES ANYONE FROM THE 70'S COULD HAVE !!! TOM ANTHONY SAYS ( LONG LIVE THE GOOD TIMES)
Simply awsome! You guys were excellent! Last iI heared Yellow /Yalloo river, somewhwere in th late 80s / 90s, from theOsmonds! Sure brought back lots of memorys; Thanks guys!
I'm 16 years old, I listen to a huge number of songs of those years, thanks to my dad for showing me the world of good music, it's a pity that now they don't try so hard when creating music ...
I was 8 then. We've had the best of the two worlds: the actual songs and musicians then and technologies to continue watching them today. Love and Good Music to dveryone forever😍
Exactly so Gusdocs 1 now in the 2022, just mimicking, talking to the beat, cussing . . . Now htis / these, these were goo - ood true & real songs! The most unfortunate is, these musical artists in the 70s were very under rated & unappreciated, unlike these what ever their name; oo - ooh, baby I love you 82 times, & getting an Emmy for that??! So acll me old fssioned, but these music / songs cant be ever replaced, no way no how!
I was very very young when this song was played on the radio, nonetheless, clicking around today on UA-cam has brought it back to me as a most unexpected and sweet treat ! What a great video you have posted here, too. Thank you for the music & the memories ! As I said, I was only 3 when this was "current," but my radio was my best friend & this happy tune was always a favorite when it would play. I hope you are doing well these days, Sir Jeff ! I have only listened to this about 7 times now !
i was in primary school when this was a hit. we had student teachers from manchester uni doing their teacher training in our school, which was in the poor part of whalley range. some of the women were near super models, full of enthusiasm and hope for the future.
It takes me back in Algiers when I was kid, a fellow student went on stage to play and sing the song perfectly. And we are some over 50 years now I live near Manchester. My favourite city is Leeds where Christie is from

72 years old and still sounds like it did in the 70s.
I’m 72 years old and I was a teenager and this was played on my radio in the the 70s. I retired from the Marine Corps in 2000 after a 30 year career. This makes me feel like a teenager all over again.👍🇺🇸 Great song!!!!

A timeless classic!! Thank you for the great song Jeff.

I am 68 years old, this song is one of my favourites and it will ever be, so actual in our difficult time!
When people talk about a "catchy" song, they refer to a song like this.
Brilliant simplicity.
Love this song each time I hear it and it never gets old! Transports me back 45 years in a blink of a teary eye. Definitely in my all time top 10! THANK YOU CHRISTIE!
Hi Renata
1970, high school, girls and music that will never be seen again. This song moves me. I think it’s just how well the melody is written.
1970 was a great year for music.
The sound of my life, who else is listening to Christie in 2022 ?
I still have the ALBUM. No record player,
me😊
Eu aqui no Brazil.
Me .... great song!

Some say the old school joke about imaginary author "I.P. Daily" or "I.P. Freely" was based on this.

I remember this song was frequently played on the radios in the seventies of last Century. And it is still good to listen.
Heartbreaking song, the beautiful years of the 70s. Best times ever. I can keep hearing this song forever.

So long boy, you can take my place
Got my papers, I got my pay
So pack my bags and I'll be on my way
To Yellow River
Put my gun down, the war is won
Fill my glass high, the time has come
I'm goin' back to the place that I love
Yellow River
Yellow River, Yellow River
Is in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow River, Yellow River
Is in my blood, it's the place I love
Got no time for explanations
Got no time to lose
Tomorrow night you'll find me sleepin'
Underneath the moon
At Yellow River
Cannon fire lingers in my mind
I'm so glad I'm still alive
And I've been gone for such a long time
From Yellow River
I remember the nights were cool
I can still see the water pool
And I remember the girl that I knew
From Yellow River
Yellow River, Yellow River
Is in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow River, Yellow River
Is in my blood, it's the place I love
Got no time for explanations
Got no time to lose
Tomorrow night you'll find me sleepin'
Underneath the moon
At Yellow River
Yellow River, Yellow River
Is in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow River, Yellow River
Is in my blood, it's the place I love

Written by an American...
Sung by an American group..... I guess it's about a Japanese soldier
@@homeelectricco they were a British group, but they did quite a few US-themed songs

Hi Laura

Recuerdo la época de kermes en el colegio! 😊y el deseo de bailar con el chico que me gustaba 😂😂 mis 14- años

My mum listened to 70's music so when we were driving home from a trip we used to listen this in the car. One of my favourites with sweet funny funny.
Great song. Great video.💙💚💖
HEY, TO ALL YOU GREAT MUSIC LOVERS, THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SONG'S FOR GOOD CHILD HOOD MEMORIES ANYONE FROM THE 70'S COULD HAVE !!! TOM ANTHONY SAYS ( LONG LIVE THE GOOD TIMES)
Obrigado,Jeff Christie,for uploading the video with clean sound(maybe taken from a CD).
Simply awsome! You guys were excellent! Last iI heared Yellow /Yalloo river, somewhwere in th late 80s / 90s, from theOsmonds! Sure brought back lots of memorys; Thanks guys!
One of the best POP songs ever!
I'm 16 years old, I listen to a huge number of songs of those years, thanks to my dad for showing me the world of good music, it's a pity that now they don't try so hard when creating music ...
🙏😉
Love from Stockholm, Sweden 🇸🇪 ☀️ ❤️
I was 8 then. We've had the best of the two worlds: the actual songs and musicians then and technologies to continue watching them today. Love and Good Music to dveryone forever😍
Christie had one of the best songs of the early seventies with this ... Yellow River was brilliant.
The days when music was a pleasure to listen to not like today's torture
@poida Why are you on here listening to it then? Nothing better to do with your time?
@Dave Tempe : It has a memorable melody , hooks , and a feelgood factor. Today's 'Shite' is unmemorable snowflaky pap !!
Exactly so Gusdocs 1 now in the 2022, just mimicking, talking to the beat, cussing . . . Now htis / these, these were goo - ood true & real songs! The most unfortunate is, these musical artists in the 70s were very under rated & unappreciated, unlike these what ever their name; oo - ooh, baby I love you 82 times, & getting an Emmy for that??! So acll me old fssioned, but these music / songs cant be ever replaced, no way no how!
@@littlemissblackdress7587 Stop being an ignoramus, he was giving his opinion, have you not got better things to do with your time?.
Más de 50 años escuchando Río amarillo Hermosa canción Gracias Christie Genial ❤️
Y no te gusta la otra llamada "Rio Verde" (Green River ) ?🤔 Es de la misma época 👍
A Great Song from a Great Man. Thank you Jeff.
Спасибо большое за ваши прекрасные песни.
I play and sing this often! Thanks again! Tony!!!!
I was only 9 at the time but I remember this well, great song and thanks for posting this, smashing memories
懐かしい〜青春時代の最高に好きな曲です‼️今でも、オールディズ曲に入っていて聞きますよー
I was very very young when this song was played on the radio, nonetheless, clicking around today on UA-cam has brought it back to me as a most unexpected and sweet treat ! What a great video you have posted here, too. Thank you for the music & the memories ! As I said, I was only 3 when this was "current," but my radio was my best friend & this happy tune was always a favorite when it would play. I hope you are doing well these days, Sir Jeff ! I have only listened to this about 7 times now !
Thanks for making this beautiful melody 👍🏼
this song was a SMASH hit here in Mexico, my parents used to dance to this song all day every day!! my mom still do haha
В России она тоже была хитом! In Russia it was also a hit!
Bless her!
i was in primary school when this was a hit. we had student teachers from manchester uni doing their teacher training in our school, which was in the poor part of whalley range. some of the women were near super models, full of enthusiasm and hope for the future.
It takes me back in Algiers when I was kid, a fellow student went on stage to play and sing the song perfectly. And we are some over 50 years now I live near Manchester. My favourite city is Leeds where Christie is from
So nice, back to when I was 13. Good memories. Everything was great!
Hi Robyn
This is one of my favorite songs. If makes me feel great I dance and walk with the beats. I love the sweet memories it brings. Yeah!
