Mark McCummins here: Big fan of Shindig! in addition to Where The Action Is, American Bandstand, and Hollywood Palace. At least in the ‘60s ABC had their finger on the pulse of American youth. Wow, those were the days!

Love those duck tails and I'm sure lots of Brylcreem!!

15. Ok for Epstein and cli ton and gates

Playing only 38% of each song is, like, vomitsville.

Their “performances” are NEVER live - always synched to the records.

I have never seen DCF played live,ever😢

How good was that SAXOPHONE wow

Even Roy Clark!!! Incredible

5:38 See the Trotters were on the case with the Chandelier 😂

Mike Smith what a voice!

Just as good as the beatles

Holy shit!! The Shandelier Shimmy Shimmy Shake and BREAK❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ VERY BEATLES VIBE . . . GOT THOSE DANCE MOVES DOWN!!! 💃

Donna Loren! Great rocker.

Bits and pieces. I still love that song. 2024.

Dave Clark 5 is a group they need to bring back because this certainly was the good 👍 music.🎶 Tonight they certainly did Rock the house down the group from Tottenham, England. I remember when my Mom worked in a department store and she knew I like the Beatles this was back in 1964. I was 8 years old at the time she bought me the single that the DC5 performed here on this video. That was “Can’t You See That She’s Mine” they need to bring them back along with the Beatles, Stones, and Del Shannon. 1964 was a hit for “Can’t You See That She’s Mine” I’m 68 years old and…Who’s still listening??? I only listen 🎧 to great 👍 music because it…ROCKS!!! I had the single in 1964!!!

Dang! That was the man Roy Clarke! Awesome, Karl

Watched them on the Happy Together Tour videos . They still sound great .. hope to see them in person at a venue near me sometime !

You are wrong on that

Check out the Cowsills version of Good Vibrations

Did he say Billy Preston? I would like to see that performance.

Wow, I never saw Roy Clark as a ‘Mod’ rocking out like that.

Wow! Was anybody better looking than Dave and Mike?? A great time to be young . Shindig and Hullbaloo were great shows!

The greatest lip sync band in history😂

Please someone provide a url where this band really plays live and does not lip synch thank you

I had picked up the Poor Baby 45 as a cutout at Woolworths when I was a kid (A cutout was an unsold record that usually had a hole drilled in the label area and then sold at a deep discount.) I liked the song, but as much as I have seen the Cowsills wondered why I never heard it played. Now I know the rest of the story. I still have the 45 this performance was a treat.

Roy could play any of those instruments on stage.

Shinrock! With Jimmy O'Neillstone

In the spring of 2004 the rock band I played bass with, TIME MACHINE, held a benefit show for Mike after learning his funds had been used up with hospital bills regarding his broken neck. It was an all day outdoor event hosted by one of our favorite clubs, The Upper Deck. Turn-out was good and guest musicians were welcomed to the stage. Naturally DC5 covers were featured. At one point in the early afternoon, Stephanie the club owner came running out of the bar with a phone held over her head shouting; "HE'S ON THE PHONE...HE'S ON THE PHONE!!" We stopped playing 'Because' and she held the phone up to a mic. It was MIKE SMITH! Thanking us for helping him out! What a thrill! Naturally the donations poured in, eventually reaching almost $4,000! Turns out a local D/J had tipped Mike's agent off to what we were doing prompting the call. And still I say, "We are all in this together." Thumper.

playback as many other musicevents shown in the 60's

None were allowed to use the association of Dave Clark Five in promoting their own gigs. Every “original“ composition with any band member also carried Dave Clark’s name. There must’ve also been something contractually that stated they would’ve been sued and they complained because none of them ever did. Further, Dave refused to issue the music for decades. I don’t know if band members would receive royalties, but they certainly could’ve use them. I also found it curious that none joined the band at the Hall of Fame. Dave claimed a skiing injury damaged his ability to play the drums. All of these clips seem to be live action over recording music. Look at Dave, missing his cues while the music still is true. I do see Lenny making proper chord changes. Lenny could play. Last I heard, Lenny gave lessons in semi- retirement.

I LOVE Mike Smith-and his vocals, best all round man❤❤❤❤

DC5 ONE OF THE BETTER BRITISH BANDS 2ND ONLY TO THE BEATLES AND STONES!!

Did the DC 5 ever sing live on tv..? Certainly not here. Should have been the MIKE SMITH 5.

The Mike Smith Five

The 5 were the single malt whiskey of 60's music.

Mike Smith, the guy whose voice could gravel out "I Like it Like That" and drip honey on "Because".

Dave Clark is the drummer. At this time entertainers lip synced the music and if you look Clark can't remember the words. It really is funny. And he was always that way if you look at any of the films from that time. It seems that they tried very hard not to show his face on here.

Roy Clark of Hee-Haw fame.

Dave Clark hack. Jay and the Americans narcs.

wasn't there a band in the early 70s (right, that's 50yrs ago) who were called Blues McGoo? It was very similar, but this band is more R&R so I'm not sure (That's what old age does) I love this channel, sorry you didn't follow up with more but hope you're doing well! From MA

Never seen Roy Clark without his guitar!

DC5-JUST THE VERY BEST, LOVED EVERYTHING THEY DID.

Good morning beautiful Carol I. Like That. Look. Carol I love that beautiful. Dress my favorite lady 💋😘💋😘❤❤

love the dave clark five's electric guitars without wires

What a coincidence! During this period I had started my first job, part of which was to send out colleciton letters for a retail sotre. RIP Mike Smith.

Wow. No microphones, no cords to the guitar. Just lip synced.

Wow! Roy Clark was a rock-and-roller before he was a country music legend. And he was aces on the guitar, too.

Annoying fucking piped in screaming.

Howdy hi…

I love the Cowsills….
