That F.B.I cover is a banger! Full cover please? 😁

I was taught to play bass by Jet Harris. I got to play on stage with him a few times, too. He would roll the volume on his bass down for sound check, so he could turn it back up during his set when he wanted a bit more volume. We did a bass duel during a performance of Nivram once and he absolutely destroyed me.

[unfathomable]

The shadows were actually said by Tony Iommi a band he listened to often and learned their songs early on into playing guitar, so i guess they are dark and mean to have indirectly inspired heavy metal

The first 4 notes of that solo were insane 😆... thanks

[randychadwick]

I really like these longer clips. Off the chain and educational. What are the chances. Great content!!

[crispybug]

Without getting anywhere near the credit they deserve The Shadows are quietly the most influential band in British music history!

[zubrycky]

The Shadows influenced Black Sabbath as well. There's a shadows tribute CD with Tony Iommi on it.

Your videos are a breath of fresh air, always enjoy watching

Jet Harris has the absolute coolest stage name of all time!!!

[Krzyszczynski]

Nicknamed "Jet" because he was an ace sprinter at school (100 yards in 10 seconds). Later lost any athletic capability through chain-smoking, an addiction he was never able to get under control, and which eventually killed him.
The piece he's playing from 0:19 to 0:28 is called The Man From Nowhere, in a clip from the film Just For Fun (in which he also partnered Tony Meehan, singing Doin' The Hully Gully).

Jet Harris and Tony Meacham had a #1 hit with a song called 'Diamonds' in January 1963. It was recorded in November 1962, it had an 18yr. old guitarist named Jimmy Page playing acoustic rhythm guitar on it. It was Page's first introduction into the world of British Session Music which he excelled in, and a few years down the road after getting much better he made a name for himself first with the Yardbirds and later with a little band called Led Zeppelin....🎸

Good to see Jet get some recognition. I played with him a number of times in the early 90s at a regular pub jam session I used to go to. It was particularly pleasing some years later to see him do a proper theatre tour of the UK and deservedly play to bigger audiences who were pleased to see him.

The ShadowHead bit was GREAT! I'm sure people did hear it that way back in the day. Remember, Cliff Richard used have the teen girls screaming, and fainting and wetting the seats in the auditorium. Little did they

Fun fact: Jet Harris and Shadows drummer Tony Meehan were the original rhythm section for the Jeff Beck Group with Rod Stewart.

Banging version of FBI fella. Put a full version on here if possible please.

[hobbayne]

Fact. Nivram was the first British electric bass solo. It is also Hank Marvin spelt backwards. (Without the Hank) 😅

[AnthonyMonaghan]

Nice. I adore Jet and The Shadows. Man With The Golden Arm was Sinatra as Frankie Machine...Man With The Golden Gun, Roger Moore etc.

[kathrynwhitby]

it was The Shadows (20 golden greats album) that got me interested in guitar to begin with.

[tomtomthebear]

I was blessed to have the father I did, I grew up listening to jet harris and Tony Meehan’s diamonds as well as other greats from the era..!! ❤

Fact: The late Sir Christopher Lee (pictured behind Sir Roger Moore in that clip from “The Man With The Golden Gun”) was a British spy during WW2 and was a major inspiration for his cousin Ian Fleming’s legendary character James Bond.
