Them - Gloria (Live in France) 

me too

Hey not fair 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 i was born in the wrong generation 😢😢

Far out!

Für mich ist VAN MORRISON der beste Rocksänger der 60'er und 70'er Jahre !

Right Pat = After all these years, STILL "Van's Da Man"......!!!! 👌

G.L.O.R.I.A

Thank you Pat for telling the truth and speaking so well of my Celtic cousin Van the man

Were the other members of the band Irish as well ?

@@Patriot-oi7mj He was from Belfast so I would think so. The audience is a lot more involved than you'd expect in '66. It was just starting to get in gear!

The French are a cool lot!

if you like this you might like my brothers music. His name is Stu Morris

"I never tired of" with a "d". "in the days" with a "s". Don't mix up golden music with stoney muzack. I mean do not put together in the same bag Them's music with garage bands' music. I do like very much "Brown eyed girl". I like "One two brown eyes" too + "Here comes the night" + "the story of Them" 7mn 20 sec + "Richard Cory" + "All for myself" + "You just can't win" + "Just a little bit" + et le très beau "I'm gonna dress in black" + "Mystic eyes" + "I put a spell on you" + "Bring 'em on in". I have 4 Lps from Them. Wot can do soopid muzack from 1980 to 2023 in front of Them's music from 1964 ? No comparison.

So gut zum Tanzen. Gehört doch auf jede Wunschliste so auch für meinen 61. Geburtstag. Ich durfte THEM erleben.

@@gudrunstege6539 Yes, great dance number back in the day! Every kid listening to this song would go around yelling: "G-L-O-R-I-A!...GLOWWW-RIA!!! I know I did!

True

No that was louie louie......

Mine did... The Lyne '67.

@@pleun315 Both

Wild Thing? House of the rising sun? All or nothing? Walk don't run?

All of the above. Listening to backyard bands play was ❤ pure joy

Me too!!

Not that Van is any stranger to intricate scales!

I still prefer the suburban garage version by Count Five. Is the a Rick. 12 string on it?

And the snap of his voice. Simply the best.

Not the Count Five, of "Psychotic Reaction" fame, but the Shadows of Knight out of north suburban Chicago! 🎵🙂👍

In 1967 when this song was released, every girl named Gloria lived with "Hey, G-L-O-R-I-A" whether they wanted to or not.☮️

sang this song so many times in our garage band The Grant Street Rockers,,,classic

@@66impala71 This I believe.

@@66impala71 : Non ma chérie, cette chanson (Gloria) a été enregistrée en 1964 avec Jimmy Page à la guitare rythmique. But hushhhhh, very few people know that, laquelle est originally le B-side de : "Baby, please don't go". No honey, this song (Gloria) was recorded in 1964 wi' Jimmy Page on rhythm guitar. But hushhhhh, very few people know that, which is originally the B-side of : "Baby, please don't go". But Sweetie, I gladly forgive ye fer yer tiny lil' mistake, so cute that we could eat it and especially because thy name is Carla just like my cousin's Sue, aka Screw around Sue.

thats leave it to Beaver LOL

My great-great grandmother Mary was born in Belfast in 1804. I'm proud of that.

Yet he sounds so American. I think he only visited Belfast.

What's to say that this youngster when he grew up decided to put a band together. There's the inspiration and the influence watching a live group perform. We certainly don't know if he ever did and later became famous.

@@noriemeha : Rires ! Poor lil' thang ! If it sounds Amerikan to you, it's because 50% of their songs are covers of Stones songs and another 25% are covers of songs written between 1930 and 1940 by the great black Amerikan bluesmen. And I hope you already know that the songs on the first 3 Stones albums are all covers of black bluesmen. And since you're so young (15 yo ?) and so ignorant, I'll let you in on a secret. As soon as a white band adapts songs created and sung by blacks, it gives you the : "Rythm an' Blues". Well, you owe me 85 €.

Fbtool until eternity lol x

Absolutely.

This song in particular made a huge impression on The Doors, so much so that Them and the Doors would jam on this together at the Whiskey. The Doors later covered it on Absolutely Live.

You can't be 100% original. Everybody has their influences, one must just acknowledge them ;)

@@noelmajers6369 not on absolutely live album.

@@tamanwar203 As Ray Manzarek said, "All art is theft."

I think so.

Listen The doors version

if you like this you might like my brothers music. His name is Stu Morris

​@@PatrickMorris-sm8dv From which country ?

Yes it is

you betcha!

Your right our friend love from the Wife and myself Suffolk Eastern England

I remember it! This song made him popular overnight.

Blues, surely ... :)

if you like this you might like my brothers music. His name is Stu Morris

@@PatrickMorris-sm8dv : I know yer brother Stuart's muzack. It's shit.

@@danielgiraud1118 you old nob bet you didnt even lisen to it

Me, too! Didn't know it was Van Morrison!

I don't remember hearing about the band, Them

This song came out in 1965 Group “Them” Van Morrison Lead vocals. I was almost 15 a great time to be a teenager. This song & group was part of the British Invasion. This live version sounds great! Oh by the way I’m 73 Now!!!🎵😉

They were big for a short period of time. They had a song called Here Comes the Night which which charted in the US and UK. Then it was pretty much over, they went their separate ways. @@lucillehein

Look for the first album 'The Angry Young Them'.

​@HungryH1951 Also a Dylan song, forgot the name. A fantastic version.

You owe yourself a moon dance.

@@mikeNjanice5382 Yes i do with my Mystic eyes

Have I told you lately that I love Van Morrison...

@@66impala71 Me too hes a complete genious lol x

@@brianduncan2793 Don't forget the Tupelo Honey!

So true ! People still search for that kind of music ❤️🙏

@@pleun315 The search would be successful if they would just look to the past.

@@alonenjersey no....ofcourse not. Van and other big names still make new songs 😂

Ok boomer.

This is what every previous generation complains about. Look at the parents in this audience....they don't seem too happy and are thinking how this song is crap and how Benny Goodman and the big band era is "music".

This is what rock is all about

xD ... Should I feel bad about your comment? ... Or did you feel bad about mine? Come on, take it easy! Are you maybe a crystal? Well, I don't care anyway. I am a Gen X according to generation name makers, but I recognize and respect the roots.

All generations have great music....you just have to look for it and discount main stream sources.

Oye hermano entonces the doors hizo cover esta cancion?

@@luismill4044 si

Original Van Morrison cover Jim Morrison

The extended versions are brilliant (Van. Patti Smith, The Doors)

​@@allanbriggs807asi fue

Original the Best

And we knew it even then.

Le bon son brut et plein de jus ; c'est excellent. Maintenant Van Morrisson se vautre dans la soupe commerciale des ballades crooner...

Peut-être mais bon ..chacun son parcours cela n'enlève rien .à ses qualités ... comme tant d'autres...

Oui c'est vrai. J'ai dépassé la soixantaine et je n'aime pas Frank Sinatra pour autant. J'ai toujours aimé le rock (parmi beaucoup d'autres genres musicaux) et ça ne changera pas à cause de l'âge. Un type comme Rory Gallagher a fait du blues et du rock toute sa vie, et il n'est jamais tombé dans le business musical alimentaire ou pour suivre le courant du moment. Même les Stones continuent à faire du rock et à remplir les stades à 70 balais bien sonnés. Même si c'est plus comme avant, c'est très louable de rester fidèle à un genre pour lequel ils sont faits plutôt que de tenter de séduire le public des maisons de retraites, avec des ballades sirupeuses et pleurnichardes, parce qu'ils n'ont plus la voix pour faire autre chose...

TheRunner75 Prendre les Rolling Stones comme exemple et les mettre sur le même plan que Van Morrisson est assez ironique ... Les Stones aujourd'hui est un groupe on ne peut plus commercial, sortant toujours les mêmes best of au fur et à mesure des années et éventuellement quelques nouvelles chansons, dont les riffs sont toujours les mêmes depuis quelques albums. Les membres eux-mêmes ont du mal à se supporter, mais cherchent à sauver les apparences, de maintenir tant bien que mal la légende, mais musicalement c'est vide malheureusement, l'argent nuit fortement à la créativité. Cependant les fans seront toujours présent massivement dans les stades , à supporter ce grand groupe qu'étaient les Stones autrefois mais ne croyez surtout pas que ces derniers représentent quoique ce soit musicalement aujourd'hui ...

C'est vrai que musicalement parlant, ils n'apportent plus rien... L'innovation se fait rare de nos jours si l'on excepte quelques exemples comme Radiohead. En tout cas, je préfère les Stones de maintenant que le Johnny de maintenant, mégalo et insupportable.

Tone deaf maybe

When I was young this would come on the radio all the time. Now I had to search all over for it.

back in the 1960s just about all local bands or garage bands played this song. just 3 chords i think and nothing too complicated. a great song to learn for young teenage rockers. it was a magical time, to be young back then.

@James Ayers rap is crap💩

.... Originally a B-side o' : "Baby, please don't go" recorded in 1964 and written by Big Joe Williams in 1935. On this last song, Jimmy Page plays rhythm guitar. But hushhhhh, very few people know that. My friend, you are named after a great singer and blues musician who was the first after the authentic Pope of Blues : Alexis Korner, to introduce the Blues to the English in 1961. And during the first six years, the greatest musicians played in his band 'fore they were known like : Eric Clapton at the age of nineteen, John McVie (Fleetwood Mac' bassist), Mick Fleetwood (Fleetwood Mac' drummer), Jack Bruce (Cream' bassist and former Jazzman), Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac, a God of a guitarist), Mick Taylor (Stones' lead guitar, hundred times better than this bum puppet of Keith Richards), Aynsley Dunbar (drummer, he was very upset 'bout being fired by J. Mayall, strict an' severe who forbade his musicians to drink and take drugs, so Aynsley formed a band called Aynsley Dunbar Retaliations), Fito de la Parra (Canned Heat' drummer), Larry Taylor (Canned Heat' bassist), Keef Hartley (drummer, he was fired also, then he formed the goup Keef Hartley Band), Le Grand Sonny Landreth (slide guitar), Coco Montoya (lead guitar) Albert Collins' guitarist leaves J. Mayall to replace Bob "the bear" Hite who died, Joe Yuele (drummer), Don "Sugarcane" Harris (devil, devil, devil violonist. At the time he was in prison. So J. Mayall paid the prison governor to let him out just long enough to record), Harvey Mandel (amerikan guitarist who played wi' Canned Heat), Jerry McGee (amerikan guirarist who founded group : The Ventures in 1968), Hughie Flint (drummer from group McGuinness Flint), Bernie Watson (guitarist in 1963-64), Roger Dean (lead guitar. Then he left the band and became a VERY GREAT illustrator of vinyl covers. He created 106 covers for many bands. For example, he designed the covers of all the albums of the band: Yes, that are 29 covers. In 1969 wi' the Lp : "the turning point", J. Mayall abandons the classic scheme of the formation to play the Blues to integrate into his new group a flute and an acoustic guitar, played respectively by Jon Mark and by Johnny Almond. These two are great an' famous solo musicians but sometimes joined forces to create the famous duo : Jon Mark & Johnny Almond. If you don't know 'hem, I won't talk to ye anymo' an' I'll bite yer liver bone wi' anger. It's simple, J. Mayall was the boss and for each record he changed musicians. He must have recorded 67 albums but only the first 6 (officials) are of great value plus 4 albums recorded 'fore his first official Lp in 1966 'bout confidential older recordings as : "John Mayall plays John Mayall" & "Diary of a band" & "Don't look back" & "the Blues alone". The 33 Lps left you can throw 'hem away or play freesbee wi'. Yet he's a great blues singer he has formulated to dedicate his entire life to the Blues. He has a beautiful, plaintive voice made for the Blues an' he plays good mouth harp and guitar and organ and piano. His master is the Bluesman J.B. Lenoir. But alas, e'en despite his first passion for the Blues coupled with his pure and authentic approach for it, which earned him the enmity and the diversion of young ignorant English people in 1966, this generated in 1967 his second Lp entitled: "Crusade" , like hundreds o' poor inhabitants of the earth, he let himself go easily, lost his inspiration and above all, took himself for someone, he fell into the trap of making music for the money. If you already know him, and since you also know Clapton, then listen to 2 gems never released on vinyl because they were only released as a single in 1966. They are of great beauty. The titles are : "Telephone Blues" & "I'm yer witch doctor". Well, my friend, yewh John Mayall, sign a cover of your records for me....

Astral Weeks is one of the greatest albums ever recorded … sharing the podium with Rubber Soul, Let It Bleed & A Salty Dog 🌟

@@daveharris2 Astral Weeks is real treasure of an album. I also love Rubber Soul and Let It Bleed is the Stones at their peak. From Gimme Shelter, 1 of my all time favourite tracks, right through to You Can't Always Get What You Want. ✌️

June 2-18, 1966 - The Doors open for Them with Van Morrison for a two week engagement at the Whisky. The very last night before Van and his crew went back to Ireland they all played “Gloria” together. John Densmore talked about it in his book, remarking that it was one of the most memorable experiences for him. He said it was one of the greatest times of his life to be on stage with 2 drummers, 2 guitarists 2 keyboard players and 2 Morrisons. Amen to that!

Jim's version is a bit more risque than Van's version - but hey - that's what the Lizard King did !!!

@@franksmathers7742 : Jim Morrison has much less merit than Van Morrison to sing this song. One cannot compare the year 1964 with the year 1967 when Jim sings it. Jim's performance (whom I love) is much less valuable than Van Morrison's.

Every block had a garage band. Walking a mile down Logan Street in Denver you would hear ten bands practicing in open garages. Music was everywhere. Go to Washington park on a Saturday in 1968 and there were 5 to 10 thousand free souled kids playing frisbee, smoking herb, playing guitar and celebrating LIFE. Van Morrison's music was part of those gatherings. Morrison is a HOLY MAN to my generation. May time bless his soul with music FOREVER.

@socal rocks So true. Yet, this is just seems more elemental.

not 1 was launcher=d due to this

Had neighbor "boys" (at one time. lol) lived down the road and we could hear them pratice this song many Friday nights.

@@FashonbugWA That's because there are only three chords in the whole song, and the sequence of the three chords never vary.

Also had a huge influence in the punk movement a decade later lol. This song is so fucking great it's nuts!

Patty le puso más talento ❤
