Mike, Some great clips here!!!

Searchers singing magic potion introduced by Burt Bacharach.

Tony Jackson singing 'you beat me to the punch'

never seen anything by Tony on film before.

Thanks for that!!

From Rob

If you pull up all 129 of his clips, you'll find "This Feeling Inside". some others and a live version of "When I Get Home", complete with three Burns Buffalo horn guitars, including the white twelve string.

Some more from youtube, early 80s & live:
Hearts in her eyes
Love's melody
Silver
And these two could be from the 70s (methinks, but not sure), and not live, unfortunately, but Rickenbacker lovers may like them (McNally is the only "odd one out"):
Needles and pins
LP#9 (sung by Tony Jackson, of course)

Updating this, as most of the links to videos in the past posts have been removed from Youtube...here are some things that are currently on here.

The above two were made by me in Windows Movie Maker, they are really cool for all you Searchers fans who haven't seen them yet.

And...the earliest known footage surviving of The Searchers (Hamburg, 1962):

That (Hamburg 1962) was a big surprise, Bob! Never knew such footage excisted. Only wish it was tons of it!

What a shame I don't have broadband so can't download it Will have to get my son to download it for me Would love to have anything on film from that era. Don't know what we had till we can't get it again
Looking forward to seeing the guys in Oz in January

Hi Pamela...... welcome to the forum.

Are you coming down to Melbourne in January or are we going up there?

Let us know what the score is and we'll arrange a jam...... featuring plenty of Searchers goodies!!

It's been quite a while since your previous posts, Pam - good to see you back!

Hi Howard, no I won't be in Melbourne for the Searchers I will be going to Kedron Wavell in Brisbane on 15th February
We are off to Melbourne over the weekend to see our grandchildren, and attend the older ones birthday party
Hi Sheena, thanks for the welcome back, yes it has been awhile. We have moved house a couple of times and been busy running our two businesses so the internet and such got put to one side.
I haven't been able to view the You Tube posts yet. My son has broadband but hasn't been able to download it to a disc or even onto his computer he can only view it on his computer. Anyone who can give me info re downloading it to keep. Is this stuff copyrite?? Would have thought this lot would belong to some music company or the BBC or someone
Thanks Peter (moderator) for fixing the login, seems to be working fine now.

Just an add on to the last posting. Mike B. you're into Aussie 60s music. You didn't happen to front a band back then or were part of one. Name rings bells. Knew a few from then, Normie Rowe, Peter Doyle, Tony Worsley, and some local bands in Brisbane. Might have some photos you would be interested in. Good to see a few Aussies putting in their two pence worth. We need to become a bit more high profile round the world

I think your cricketers make sure of high profile around the world, just like our rugby players. He, he!
