    Glad I was so fortunate to have lived thru this era. Back when music was music and the talent was beyond definition. Singers that could actually sing and the bands sounded the same live as their records. With all due respect it is a pretty tough row to hoe for those that followed years later. Shindig was certainly a huge opportunity for many to advance their careers. Love it all.

    The best thing about Shindig was getting to see so many of the British Invasion acts, also Motown and it gave 50's rockers a second chance to perform their hits from the 50's and early sixties. Live music, live rock and roll, R&B and pop what a wonderful era for music.

      Shindig! focused on a broader variety of popular music than its predecessor and first aired for a half-hour every Wednesday evening, but was expanded to an hour in January 1965. In the fall of 1965, the show split into two half-hour telecasts, on Thursday and Saturday nights.

Carolyne Barry acted until 2013 before she passed away on June 16, 2015. she had a total of 22 acting credits to her career, but a popular Shindig girl dancer!

    WHO are the 79 people who gave this a thumbs down?! Donna, this brought back so many wonderful memories (including seeing our dear old friend, Dewey Martin, may he RIP) of a time that can never again be replicated. How extraordinary it had to have been to be such an integral part of something that prompted many of us who were NOT fortunate enough to live on the West Coast to start dreaming of "one day I'm going to..." I finally made that journey 10 years after Shindig went off the air, but have always remembered the sheer sense of awe I felt the first time that I saw the "Hollywood & Vine" street intersection signs. What joy this video evoked in me, personally, and I can't imagine how anyone watching it could fail to feel the same. Whether or not they personally ever "made that trip west." THANK YOU!

      I can't understand why this show isn't remembered better, or referenced like the Ed Sullivan show still is. Shindig: Groundbreaking, loaded with talent, and just plain fun. Music for the last 40 years has been so corporately controlled. Back then, anyone could be a "one-hit-wonder" and end up on TV! Shindig is of that era--looser, with teenagers telling producers what they liked and wanted, instead of the other way around. There is a tremendous amount of magic in that. Shindig captured the magic of being young.

    The '50s were my childhood years with Elvis Presley and many others, but I remember them very well. The '60s were my teen years and a lot of girl groups came into play and then The Beatles and the British Invasion and too many groups to list. There were also Motown and many other American groups into my adult years. The '70s groups had even more rock and roll groups including Disco but not all were Disco but it dominated for a while.The'80s brought MTV and although there were some good songs, there just weren't as many. I had to listen to oldies stations to listen to the music I grew up on. VH1 was similar. Things had changed and not for the better. The '90s until today just didn't have it except listening to the oldies. Now there is You Tube and I take advantage of it. I was in my senior year in high school when Shindig came on television, then Hullabaloo. I was born at just the right time.

      My background & musical experiences are similar to your own. The only difference is that the British group Keane, who emerged in 2004, really took me by surprise (I'd given up finding anything new I could relate to by then). Their first 4 albums prove, to me, at least, they're as important & relevant to their era as the Beatles to the 60's. Shindig was never broadcast here in UK, but watching it now, it's fantastic!

    The Shindig Show. Never forget the time it came to Salt Lake City and the no longer in existence, Terrace Ballroom. This fast-paced show shuttled performers from the hotel to the Terrace all evening. After that show, Larry Henley of the Newbeats introduced me to a lovely, blonde-haired young y, Sue Thompson. A friendship that has continued for 55 yrs. What a show it was. So many performers, dancers, props, how did they ever make it all happen and keep it affordable?

    I remember this show from my childhood. Nice mini-documentary but should have been longer. It seems like maybe they couldn't get the rights to show the Shindig performances by the Beatles or Stones, but those performances are available elsewhere on CZcams. Wow!... the very early (pre-Atlantic era) Aretha Franklin was great! And Jackie Wilson, Roy Head, James Brown etc...double wow! I wish they had shown a least a short clip of Howling Wolf; he did a killer performance on the show and it was very unusual for a real Chicago blues singer to be on national TV. One of the coolest thing about this show is how much was live and how little was lip-synced. I've spent the last hour or so watching various clips form the show and most of it was not lip synced. However one of the Beatles' performances seems to use a backing track but with live vocals.

    I never missed Shindig. It was a great show. It moved quickly and it basically "Rocked" as people say today. The songs we listened to on this show ran all day and night on the radio. It was our medium in those days. I had a transistor radio and listened to it day and night. went through a lot of 9 volt batteries. The songs mark the time for Baby Boomers. You remember people and events by the music that was playing at the time. Great times. No other show on TV was as exciting as Shindig and also Hullabloo. Of the two Shindig was the best. The dancers were a big part of it also. Everybody had their favorite. Good to be able to go back for a minute or two watching these video's.

      William Novarese I used to think all the dancers on those 60's music shows seemed to be doing moves more related to theater or "interpretive" dance than to rock and roll. When I discovered Shindig, the dancers were one of the first things I noticed- they actually seemed to be doing Rock and Roll dances and moves. Recently I found an article form an old magazine that provided some background on the dancers and how those moves were executed. Those ladies were trained in ballet and other dance forms, so they knew what they were doing. The choreographer, Andre Tayir did an excellent job in creating moves that looked very much like what I could imagaine kids doing in dance clubs. (And those dancers were HOT!)

You guys were our heroes, Donna. Thank you for posting. It brought back great memories.

    I saw a lot of those acts live. James Brown would have been the most mesmerizing of the ones I saw.. Jackie Wilson I regret not getting the chance to see. Shindig was the "IN" thing for us kids back then. Live instead of lip singing gave the performances real time associations for us. A great show.. . The Lloyd Thaxton Show was a pretty good one too.
