Peter Gunn - Duane Eddy

This was one of our favorite songs to play in high school band during the '70s. I played trombone and we had some great parts with very fast slide movements. I don't know if we sounded as good to the crowd as it sounded to us band members, but it sounded like we rocked!!!

If I could make a list of top musicians for a heavenly concert Duane would be up there.

The original sax player that recorded this with Duane Eddy back in 1959 was Steve Douglas, in my opinion was the greatest rock & roll tenor sax player. Rudy Pompilli from Bill Haley's Comets was no pushover either. Look it up on You Tube...you can find the original 1959 recording of Peter Gunn. Listen to that sax. Steve Douglas was the greatest.

Someone is off. I think the Sax

May 26,2023 Remember first hearing his amazing playing back in 1961 Rebel Rouser as an oldie on 1050 Chum Toronto and then was blown away by his Peter Gunn. Like the killer Jerry Lee one of a kind and so glad at 75 to see he still appreciated. Twang man. Rock on and on.

Redneck 😀

When I was a kid, this was a radio hit along with being the theme song for the tv show😎

the idiot need to turn off the loud whistling

Great sounds the mad monk is back one cool dude and

He'll be twang in all the way to Heaven and throughout all eternity.

Duane is one of the greatest guitarists of our time and still doing it we love his music.

There are songs and then there are Duane Eddy Songs, Its that simple.

Fantastic, never seen this live.

Duane Eddy is quietly among the very best guitarists in the history of rock and roll.

Goosebumps !

Very nice video, to play guitar beautiful my friend

The Twangs the Thang...

Great jam!!!

He could NEVER top Rebel Rouser!!

Why is Duane having a concert in a cupboard.

I would love to see Duane get teamed up with saxophonist Richard Elliot to cover his songs.

Exactly sixty years ago today on October 29th, 1960 the 'Dick Clark Caravan of Stars' played the Memorial Auditorium in Utica, New York...
Duane Eddy was one of the acts* to appear, at the time his covered version of "Peter Gunn" was at position #41 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, three weeks later it would peak at #27 {for 1 week}, and it spent nine weeks on the Top 100...
Between 1958 and 1986 the Corning, NY native had twenty-eight records on the Top 100 chart, three made the Top 10, "Rebel-'Rouser" {#6 in 1958}, "Forty Miles of Bad Road" {#9 in 1959}, and "Because They're Young" {#4 in 1960}...
His last charted record was a re-mix of his "Peter Gunn" with the British trio, the Art of Noise, it peaked at #50 in 1986 on the Top 100 {reached #8 in the U.K.}...
Duane Eddy will celebrate his 83rd birthday in six months on April 26th, 2021...
* Some of the other acts on the bill were Fabian, Brenda Lee, Chubby Checker, Freddy Cannon, Jimmy Clanton, and Jimmy Charles...

wansee entertainment

That bassist has no room . Hahaha

My favourite of all those players that came out of the 50's
The way he hasn't moved on to fender and the way he uses the talent arm with his left hand.

First thing I learned to play on guitar, 13 years old, 1960. It was that sound! Of course, I had no idea what made that
sound, especially the Bigsby whammy bar. But that, Honky Tonk (Bill Doggett) and Link Wray, Rumble got me started
down the rock path. Or, “Hell,” as my father called it. No prob, dad. Still doin’ it 63 years later.

The king of twang.

👏🏾😎👑🎷 In the heaven of great guitar players and rock n rollers.

This guy was my guitar hero at age 12, maybe around 1959. Peter Gunn was a bad ass tune. I had it on his album, I think titled Especially For You. My granny had this "new age" stereo phono system and she'd let me visit to play this album. I'd sit there for an hour and dig it all, especially bad ass Peter Gunn theme. Combat in Vietnam tried to take that away, but it's still bitchin' to revisit today. Thank God for Duane Eddy. RS the Vet.

Great music just cant get enough of it

Love the way he plays Duane Eddy is one of the all time greats when it comes to guitar playing.

I love his guitar and the whammy bar reminds me of a gear shifter. I remember a time in the 70 when it wasn't cool to have a whammy bar. Was it because it was redundant? Because you can almost get the same sound putting pressure on the neck and body!

Who could dislike this smh probably people who came on accident, idiots, don't realize Metallica Black Sabbath led Zeppelin Cream Aerosmith the Beatles Rolling Stones the Kinks Jimi Hendrix ect all carried on the torch that Dwane, Link Wray Ike Turner Chuck Berry Les Paul lit, without them rock would not be what it is today! I don't really like metal, but anyone who does would be hard pressed not to see how people like Dwane influenced shredding especially Les Paul, if you don't believe me take a listen to his music the influence is uncanny IMO cheers,
John

I'm sorry, I just don't get the infatuation with Duane Eddy. I have students who could do what he did after just two (2) lessons. I must be missing something....,i

What a down to earth genuine. rock n roll star straight up

His Guitar has to have almost NO intonation!

Duane I bought that record

How can’t you not love this man real rock n roll he’ll be twanging all the way to heaven go Duane

AWSOME VIDEO PRESENTATION LOVE IT 👌. ...ESPECIALLY THE RACCOON ON THE BASS PLAYERS HEAD 😎😎😎

Beautiful guitars 👌😍😍😍🇦🇺❤️❤️❤️

Loved the Dwayne Eddy sound. Not a whole lot of notes in the Peter Gunn theme but didn’t seem to care back in the day.

The man knows his way around a guitar.

The BEST !!!

He just doesn't look right without the orange Gretsch.
