Showed my grandson what me and his Nan were doing in the 60s.I worked at London bridge and most lunch times I used to jump on my GS silver Vespa and scooter up to Moorgate where she worked ,go to lunch for a hour with her then scooter back to work .Jeez I wold be gone 2 hours from work and nobody cared.Great days .Papers were full of jobs .Could pack a job in on a fri and start a new one on a Monday . What a time we had.

Yes it all comes flooding back---my young Mod teenage years from 63 to 66....and yes, now drawing a pension...but it was great to be young then ....:)

I was a 60s mod from Coventry. Had a red and white Lambretta SX150 which I rode all over England and Wales.

This is so great. Thank you. As a teenager growing up in Los Angeles, we had our own Mod revival, but the only access I had to the history of Mod culture were a couple of books (Richard Barnes' _Mods_, _Cool Cats: 25 Years of Rock n Roll Style_), various books about the Who, and of course, the film _Quadrophenia_. KZfaq and the interwebs have filled in the gaps.

Have to keep coming back to this every so often . Takes me right back great days , great music , so smart and cool oooohhh to do it again

current 2019 teen here...watching these videos bringing me odd nostalgia and longing to have lived in the 60s. maybe i was and i just reincarnated. i feel like i’m meant to be there.

god i wish i was alive for this, 1000% mod

I was a revivalist mod in the 70s but did at least grow up as a little 'un in London during the Swinging 60's and still remember hearing songs back then as a small boy. Great times.

Wow!! Awesome video!! Once a mod, always a mod! It's in the blood, and the music is in the soul!🎶🎶👍👍🛵🛵🛵

60's had the best fashion by far, it was all downhill after that.

Notts mod in 1968, Ben sherman shirt, stay press trousers, Parka coat and cuban heel shoes. On my SX200 with a girl on the back. Wow they were great days. Sad to say just started drawing my pension, but I still gat 2 SX200's and an Li 150 in the shed.

I was 16 in 1967 , what a time the clothes the music. My Vidal Sassoon haircut , Mary Quant makeup. Long leather coat or blue Bri Nylon Mac , loafers 501 s

I can't believe we're drawing our pensions now! The 60's were the best time to grow up in. Loved those days.

Two wheeled hair dryers are still pottering about. Built to last = Mod for life!

Some class vids Charlie mate!......memories flooding back!......Blackpool Mecca was always a trip worth going on....Bank holiday weekend , even though the Mecca was never an all-nighter , never the less we found places to hang out.....great to get together with Mods from other parts of the country......and yes.....Glaswegians also Charles .....were you ever there fella???......of course the weekend wouldn't have been complete without some errr communication lets call it.....with the bikers......but really in general they stayed out of the way.....grossly outnumbered , by cool people , just wanting to have fun with music dancing and "romance"......oh yeah and of course the "odd" chemical enhancement......halcyon days !

Perfect video, thanks! We are mods!

I think 60's mods would make a great tv series show. As long as it was done correctly; mods style lingo music and shops. There is always good drama related to having to look be cool 24/7 as a teenager young adult.

... we are the Mods! Still in 2021 and also in Germany!

Mind-blowing to think that those lads and girls are now well into their 70s.

My mum & dad were Mods in the 60s very cool🇬🇧

Son of a mod as my dad says i was no stinking rocker grease ball Newcastle upon Tyne 🇬🇧

Thanks Charles . Thanks for the videos by the way love looking at them great times great days what fun we had

Happy Days x

Mods Edinburgh wow ktf man, just pure class music enjoy and be old school

It was a fashion statement

Those guys are just too fucking cool mods knew how to pull it off

keep em coming mate

Just imagine instead of taking speed both Mods and Rockers could take a few speckled doves each we could call it we will hug them on the beaches lol

they were cool days for sure and i had a lambretta lol

Alder Ray, what a tune, soulful A F!!! ❤

Can see how the rougher ones evolved into skinheads. Can see skinhead style in embryonic form in them.

Not a helmet in sight !

I love this song by alder ray I love to have anyone know if it's on a cd . Great vid by the way 😍

great post

Coventry town mod 1968,smart suit with long jacket, handkerchief in top pocket , leather soled brogues for dancing.dance all night, try to stay cool ,loved every moment

"Cool" is in here, yes! Tho I was thinking the early European wars and their outcome. The "Cool" effect also shows up more in England (are most of these folks British?)

The Mods,and then Skinheads/Suedehesds were Britains 1st generation of Black/White youth Cultures centred around a combined music/image movement.to this day Jamaica and African America are the purveyors of an ever evolving urban dance music which which England produces its own influence which began in the 1960's.and a decade later in the 70's with punk and Techno in the 80's Rave culture in the 90's produced Junglist then uk garage dubstep and future bass Grime and Trap and Afrobeat

Would happily be dead now if i could of been 17/18 in 1964

hey what's the songg, very cool

Once 73 hit for me personally all the great Brit cults died.

How did we end up with flares and platforms and long hair

O.M.G How did they ever handle all that power of there bikes?..

Anyone know the tune being played ?

I was on the first 20 programs My nick name was gypo

🤘

Since grunge came in, slobs just wear anything 😴, even soiled arse wraps 👃💨🤮(underwear) and even used bog rolls 🚽🧻😝🐖!, yeah I remember the 60s and everyone who was anybody was very trendy and happy and the music was 🎶🎉was fab 😍!!

I losing the plot who is this singing and what is the song it's great

Batman wuz here.

Cadê o capacete?! hahaha

1:04 なんか一瞬サブリミナル効果っぽいのなかった？

I was an original mod in the 60s it was a great time the fashion, the scooters, the music it was all out there I had a fantastic time but it was an era and as such should be left there, what is going on now has nothing to do with mods, going out buying a brand new scooter squeezing yourself into pretend mod clothing and going to a scooter rally does not mean mod, back in the day mods wore sharp suits had cool haircuts and met in cafés, today it seems to be overweight men and women in their 50s and 60s thinking they are 20, in my opinion it was a great time and as such should be left there where it belongs.

We’re they actually known as ‘Mods’ back then or is a 70’s term?

Mods today are really Suede Heads with the crombi coats and expensive shoes stay press pants ben sherman shirts and Harrington jackets

lovely ladies at 2.17

WHY OH WHY do people have to show / mention the Beach's & Rocker fight's..... BOTH WERE RARE OCCURRENCES. Both Mod's & Rocker's went to the same school's and were often friend's. I know I was BUT as only one of two Mod's in our village, I was more friendly with local Rocker's than the other Mod. I wish people who post these told us their age and if they LIVED during the period.... I'm 73.
