Hollies and Yardbirds RED HOT. I want my 60s back!
Don't we all, lol.I'm 76.
Only the cars. The rest you can keep.
One thing I can tell you we had the best cartoons in the '60s cuz 60s were my elementary year in the 70s came when I was 11 so I seen The Beatles from Kennedy to The Beatles to the 70s to David Bowie I forgot the Beatles first
I heard the Beatles back in 63 I was 7 years old and I had a radio in my hand and then the Beatles came on and that's when I remember I said I like this group this is my favorite group from here on out sure enough The Beatles at that time their music was different it sounded good the harmony everything about it was excellent and they did come at the right time because I remember plume before that the sadness the whole nation was when Kennedy got shot we didn't go to school for about a month but when the Beatles came everybody seemed to forget it
Ámen!!
Born in 1951 i grew up on the British Invasion and all the American music with it. I never missed any of these shows. Im 72 now and still love this music
yep the era with the best music , hottest women , and coolest cars
I saw the Shindig tour show and it was great! It had a lot of the British groups
Same.... I'm 70... sooo Grateful to still go out dancing to these Wonderful 🎵 songs ! My cousin is the famous ( in the business), Brooks Jones, deceased, he produced HULLABALOO. originally from Jackson, Ohio. Little known FACTS. BE WELL, ENJOY! PEACE TO ALL ! ❤♾️🎵🌎☮️
I’m 73 and I agree with everything you said!!
You grew up during the renaissance of music. Never to be repeated again. Good for you 👍
Shindig, Hullaballo, Midnight Special, American Bandstand....those were the days!
And we can't forget Ed Sullivan who, looking back, was surprisingly hip for an old guy.
I was 14 in 65. Shindig and Dark Shadows were required watching.
Every time I see Freddie and the Dreamers doing their great crazy dance routines I always imagine the Drummer thinking ‘Thank God I’m the drummer’.
As a Brit, I must apologise for Freddie - a national embarrassment. Along with Herman.
Terry….I knew the drummer…you’re absolutely on point!!
😅
I was born in 1954 in California and I watched all these shows without fail.
Also watched Where The Action Is....1965 Mark Lindsey
Gorgeous Mark Lindsay!
Kicks
Mark Lindsey was in demand due to being a saxophone player outstanding. Jerry Lee Lewis has him playing on his album "Southern Roots" which is high praise indeed.
Don't overlook a young Jeff Beck playing with the Yardbirds. Priceless.
It was all priceless 😮 my friend ❤xx.
@@peteroates2908 more like a masterclass. Call that 10 guitar lessons in one. Sort of like a salesman's demonstration of a company product masterfully orchestrated.
Rip. Jeff
Who’s “overlooking” Beck?? He’s the reason I like the Yardbirds. (well, mainly)
The whole first side of Blow by Blow…..classic rock by Beck
Gerry & The Pacemakers' recording of "Ferry Across The Mersey" is a classic.
That movie was so dark in black n white also meanings. I was about 13.
Songs like Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Cryin’ evoked my emotions at the tender age of 11 putting tears in my eyes just as Puff the Magic Dragon did before this song. Gerry Marsden looked so young here. He just passed away in 2021-RIP
Listen the lyrics to Don’t Let The Sun Catch You Cryin’…..if you’re not crying by he time it’s over…..get an immediate check-up…..you might be dead!! 🥲
Are you friggin kidding me 💟🫀🫁!? Ferry Across The Mersey is a fab song ❤️👍🙏🏿😇🙏👍 by Gerry And The Pacemakers!🙏🏿❤️😇🙏👍! 18:19
@@KaryShort-wi7kv If you like Gerry, Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Cryin’ is a real tear jerker….trying to cheer up his broken hearted friend…….nobody writes songs like this anymore……I’m fine until the oboe comes in, then I lose it……every damn time 🫶🏼
Those were the days my friend we thought they'd never end.
We'd sing and dance forever and a day!🌷
how we laughed away the hours
think of all the great things we would do?
I turned 69 today but this video reminded me that it was good to be alive back then.
Leaves me so nostalgic :) this time was ours, the music was ours and it was wonderful. A great time to be young.
Yes, it was
Yeah well , I was 13 in 1964 .
If you think about it , that was the best age to start the best 60's music . I feel very privileged.
Same age and I agree with your comment. Loved this time of my life also. Best music.
Watching Keith Relf sing with the Yardbirds was worth this entire CZcams video. A life cut short, after leading one of the greatest rock bands of all time. When you have Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton in your band at one time or another, you've reached a whole 'nother level.
Yeah but did they ever have any really good guitar players in the band? I guess they just had to settle with Page, Beck, and Clapton.
Yeah I remember when that happened. Very sad day.
@@thegreatelfinko yeah, wat a trio of guitar players! Remember Shindig , Holly Wood A GoGo, Hullaboo, AB,
Jeff Beck having a rave up!!!
The Yardbirds were well worth the price of admission !!!

OK boomer! Joke. Great line up there 😀
The description says "The Rolling Stones-Heart of Stone". Those guys don`t look nothing like The Rolling Stones. I`m i tripping?
I got them all except for Leslie Gore. I thought she was Lulu
THE BEATLES ALSO WERE ON SHINDIG TOO.
The yardbirds are timeless. They still sound current today.
The Yardbirds and The Zombies will always sound perfect in any time. 🥰
When I heard "catch us if you can" I was transported back to 1965. This song, for some reason I can't explain, takes me back to a wonderful time. As an 11 year old, me my brothers and sisters laying on the floor and watching bands like this on a small B&W tv with Mom and Dad. Now for a brief moment, mom and dad are still living, but only in my memory... that's why I love this.
i was also laying on the floor when the beatles played shea stadium. when paul's bass came in at the start of "dizzy miss lizzy" it was like holy CRAP- they ARE a real rock and roll band!
Did you see the Dave Clark Five's movie? In the UK it was called "Catch Us If You Can", in the U.S. "Having a Wild Weekend".
I know what you mean. You don't realize until much later how young your parents were at that time. Mom was so fun, she'd go dancing through our bedroom with her dish towel to whatever Beatles song was playing. She liked this group called The Newbeats and would watch the Lloyd Thaxton (afternoon music and dance) show with us. Dad bought me my first album which was Hard Day's Night. It was a very happy time.
@@carolynking5470 Saw it recently on TCM. My older sister was a big fan. We were texting about that band earlier.
@@carolynking5470 yes I did ! Very cool
I turned 10 yr old in 1965 all this music shaped my life starting in about 1963 then seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan in 1964 stepped it up to high degree. Continuing by watching all these great shows on TV and during the day my transistor radio stuck to my ear.The 60s and early 70s are still my favorite era!
Right there with ya. I was 9 in ‘65
Couldn’t have said it better, Mr. Webber. 🤟🏾
@@OGDeeHiggins cool, fab, bitchin!
@@aramboodakian9554 😂
what was your first fav song?
The actress Teri Garr was one of the Go-Go girls on Shindig and Hullabaloo...Loved these shows as a young teenager.
Oh wow, I didn't know that. I would love to see the camera zoom in on Teri shakin' her booty.
You can also spot Toni Basil and Lorene Yarnell (of mime duo Shields & Yarnell) amongst the dancers.
She was also in the TAMI concert. You can clearly see her much of the time.
Father Guido Sarducci. It's been a long long time since I've seen him. Awesome !
@@noneyabusiness4006 Along with Maynard G. Krebs, he's one of my heroes.
Back in the days. Shindig was one of the shows that displayed all this great tallent. I watched it every week. I'm old now. In a way, I miss those times... Thanks for this
YOUR NEVER OLD KEEP YOUR MIND YOUNG ACT LIKE A FOOL YOU WILL SEE YOU WILL FEEL AND LOOK YOUNGER.
@@trentaccid2177 I grew a beard. Still play drums and guitar. I taught myself to play drums in 1964. Body is 71 in good condition, fortunately, but my mind is still much younger. Life is good. Lots of good memories. I've known my wife since we were 15 and next door neighbors. Thanks and Best Regards P.S. This picture was taken 3 years ago
I watched it also. Came on late in black and white. Those were the days my friend and I thought they would never end 😢 … they sure did!
@@timmotel5804 You look like Michael Hayes one of the Fabulous Freebirds nice. I started playing piano years ago then stopped and im picking it up again.
Sad though I loved The Cyrkle and when I heard that the one guy got drafted and died. I now understand why the Band Ended. How they git hooked up with Brian Epstein I'll never know.
@@trentaccid2177 My Draft number was 83 in 1971. I enlisted in the Air Force. The picture is 3 years old now. I grew a beard. Cyrkle were excellent. Best Regards and stay with the piano. I still play drums since 1964 and I'm relearning guitar.
What most amazes me watching these wonderful old shows is remembering just how much was on TV in the 60’s and 70’s. The pop shows like Shindig, Hullabaloo, Soul Train, Bandstand - the weekly variety shows like Flip Wilson, Ed Sullivan, Sonny and Cher, Carol Burnett, Hollywood Palace and Kraft Music Hall - and then there were the specials featuring every great performer of the time you could name, from Mary Martin to Bette Midler. It really was a golden age of television entertainment, but we just didn’t realize it.
it was OUR golden age too
I was only 10, & 11 at the time. I loved learning the latest dances. Everyone was happy, & just having fun. Even my parents watched these shows sometimes.

@@elizabethbowie9753 same here I was 10 in 65 and remember it all Great memories !
Don't forget the Lloyd Thaxton Show!!
THESE WERE THE BEST TIMES!!
With the exception of the Vietnam war, yes they were.
Now there the worse of times
@@markmeade2937
But things can only get better when that bafoon of a president (and the whore VP) are out of office. So let's all look forward to 2024 and think positive.
Yes you're right 😢😢😢😢
@@markmeade2937 yes you're right too in the midst of the civil rights women's rights gay rights movements and the never ending Vietnam War. People needed more escapes, so they don't have to think of the injustices and horrors that were going on back for no goddamn reason.. unfortunately these unjustices and hatred are still going on today. Late last year I was permanently injured in an anti gay attack in a Brooklyn pizzeria homophobic owner who's been taunting me for months and months and months during this pandemic..And getting many times the rest of the customers and Latino workers in the back kitchen we're also ridiculing me f*** them all
I never notice before how important that piano is to "Ferry, Cross the Mersey."
I’m 74 grew up with this music.Best music ever what a great time to have lived in.SURE BRINGS BACK MEMORIES .I have been blessed.Thanks for the memories.
The Yardbirds. So ahead of their time. Still my favorite band. RIP Jeff
And Keith.
This show was a revelation!!! One great tune after another.......Long live the 60s!!!! What memories......
Wow, a '60s show that actually trusted the bands to play live rather than to a backing track. Jeff Beck's improvizations at the end of "I'm a Man" show he was already pushing the envelope of what a guitar could sound like from the beginning of his career.
It’s an interesting mix of live and recorded stuff. I guess some bands didn’t want to risk it.
What a way to feel young again!!
Absolutely agree with you.
@@bpivrI NEVER saw The Dave Clark Five perform live on any TV show.
@@MsAppassionatanot a once...simultaneously suspicious and disappointing.
I used to watch this show regularly as a kid of 13. I'm 71 now
Me too.......72.......we had great music and great bands brought right into our living rooms.......treasured times.......
Ditto, I’m 70. Best days of my life.
@Joan In Florida I Hullabaloo too. In LA we had some great local shows like American Bandstand that featured local kids dancing to the hits of the day. The best one was Soul Train in the early 70's with legendary host Don Cornelius - mainly Black, Latino and Asian couples in their early twenties. Phenomenal dancers some of whom were regulars for years. Some of them were also talented clothes designers who made outrageous costumes for the dancers. There are many on CZcams. Check em out. Peace.
And to think I remember this ! Dam am I old . Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Great memories of being in school, staying out late hanging around with your friends. The sixties was a great time to be young and full of dreams. Music meant everything, style of your hair your clothes how you acted towards others. It was psychedelic man, groovy. Peace everyone.
Right on-the Golden Decade!
I used to wear these hippie, gypsy clothes that I made out of velvets and satins. I embroidered my bell bottoms and let my hair grow to my waist.
And there's Darlene Love singing back-up for the Righteous Brothers and still going strong today! She's an enormous talent.
You mean Mrs Trish Murtaugh.
Saw her just before COVID doing a Christmas show... WOW!
@@kenchristie9214 Lethal Weapon. She and Danny Glover were a great couple!
She was in a relationship with Bill medley.
@@georgesmyth6577 Two of the best voices in music.
Holy Cow…after all these years, I finally understand the words to “Louie, Louie”….thanks SHINDIG!
Will Drucker…they changed the words for T.V. …
A poor version here.
Lead singer just died
I just sent the link to my son, saying the same thing!
If you want the actual lyrics to the song, do a CZcams search for "Louie Louie by Richard Berry". The original was released in 1957. The live Kingsmen version of the song seems to have some distortion in the vocal, giving way to allegedly hearing dirty words in the song.
One of the black and white contrast is so extreme it's like watching rock and roll Noir style
THE YARDBIRDS IM A MAN LIVE IS AN ALL TIME TV CLASSIC
Jeff Beck guitar break, Keith Relf's vocal. Spectacular. Had the 45.
I say spencer davis group sang it
@@petersclafani4370
'I'm A Man' is indeed SDG. That's not the song being performed. 'It's Heart Full of Soul' by the Yardbirds. SDG doesn't appear anywhere in this vid.
@@petersclafani4370 Different song.
I prefer spencer davis group group sang the song better.
I was just going to watch for a few minutes. 40 minutes later still here!
Been there.
Ha! Same here. When music ruled the world…miss those good times.
REAL talent LIVE ! No special effects, explosions, engineered voices. The talent was PRIORITY ! ALL musically talented. Not just talking and rhyming. No filth !
No glorified pole dancers pretending to be singers.
And here comes the "no autotune troll."
old people whing about contemporary music--just like your parents whined about yours
@@chrissygerwitz520 autotune was invented in 1997
Hollies, Yardbirds, Lovin' Spoonful....what's not to like.....
Wow, The Hollies were a legit killer live band!
The thing is, (in contrast with top bands like The Beatles or Stones) that they were thrown to the US garage scene (since the Americans wanted to "stop" the invaders coming from the UK, in favour of local bands) , so they did develop a huge solid live sound rather say easily from their standards in beat music, they evolved to a more punch punk sound mid 60s, just as their friends The Kinks... but people missed it bc they also were forced to be commercially ad hoc for the charts. What a shame, a top band if you ask me.
Great Harmony live by the Hollies.
@@KieroUnasBotasAGoGo hI! You just like me like the Hollies songs. Can you tell me who is the original singer (man or woman) of the song "Look at Life" bc I've reaserched everywhere and nobody says the name of the real singer. We also don't find the Hollies video for that song! Thank you! Gracias!🌹
@@ramashaktioh, *"Look At Life"* (?) the one song included n the *"Hollies Sing Hollies"* album(?) lead singer to that song is Tony Hicks 😊 a song written by Terry Sylvester and Allan Clarke
@@KieroUnasBotasAGoGo God bless you!!! I was researching many sites but none of them gives an answer! Thank you!
Jeff Beck, RIP. One of the best guitar players ever.
Indeed he was!
That Les Paul John Sebastian was playing (31:08), it's next owner was Rick Derringer. It's next owner was Eric Clapton. It's next owner was George Harrison.
⬆️🎸Absolutely Supersonic Heritage on that one. George’s kid Dhani probably has it now buried somewhere in Crackerbox Palace….hopefully climate controlled. Had my eye on that one heavy early LP in the video after Sebastian put the autoharp down. Zal had a short run Guild I believe…,
Later on there’s Jeff chasing sound on that Esquire…. I believe it’s the beater one on display in the Cleveland ’Clinic’ for Rock Fame.
Sharp eyes & good call on that one Michael….blue ribbon Gibson
Wow good info thanks! 👍
Warren, that was the First Les Paul I ever saw, and I WANTED one. It would take me 40 years, but it's over there in the case right now.
Either Eric or George had it re-finished.red. George called it "Lucy", after Lucille Ball.
I watched Shindig regularly as a young teen. Go go girls and great early to mid sixties pop and rock; what more could a teenager want?
I was digging up on all these songs 3 years before I became a teen, since I was 10 when I discovered The Beatles.
Me too James.
The Righteous Brothers had a great vocal blend, and Bill Medley's bass/baritone contrasted nicely with the late Bobby Hatfield's tenor vocals.
We mostly bought 45’s growing up instead of albums but The Righteous Bros. were so good you had to find a way to get their albums just like we did w/The Beatles.
It's fun all these years later to see the Stones looking like they're not old enough to be away from home without their parents. =D
I’ve never been a fan of all the distracting dancers… then or now… but it was fun to see some of these old clips…
Just saw Graham Nash… last year… how many years… later…? 😆😝😆
A different time, a different place. Higher standard too, NO LIP SYNCING!
No stealing the work of real musicians. ( digital sampling ). You wrote it, scored it, and sang it. Never tire of hearing this quality of music, I miss the 60's. Dang!
Well, sort of. A lot of the bands used session musicians, songs by outside writers, or wrote songs that were just an 'evolution' of earlier songs - there was a lot of stealing from other musicians, not through sampling, but just rewriting older songs, usually by black artists. For example, listen to Going Up The Country, 'written' by Canned heat, then check out Bulldoze Blues by Henry Thomas. There were many great original artists, too, of course, just as there are now.
Most of these artists would've been used to lip syncing on other shows too.
A great show indeed!! Loved the Hollies with good ole’ Graham Nash.
Graham is still playing!
How good were The Hollies live back then? Bobby and Eric were a fab rhythm section and the harmonies were perfect and bright!
All of The Hollies excel. The sound is so crisp and clear.
That's Graham Nash on back-up vocals and an occasional lead.
Bobby and Eric were positively smoking on "Just One Look!"
@@chrissygerwitz520 Being a pop/harmony band, we don't normally go to the Hollies for tight bass and drum action, but it's really there! Both play with a bit of swagger, and make it look easy.
@@jduff59 That's why they were really a cut above the typical 60's pop bands. They could actually play and sing at the level of the Beatles (but just couldn't write like them, unfortunately).
Mike Love's head going up and down like that perfectly sums up his relationship with the rest of the band.
Tony Hicks! What a beautiful face for a male in the 60s! 😍🌹
Eric Haydock also ain’t no slouch in the Cutey-pie Department
I adore TonyHicks.. but I've always had a huge crush on Allan Clarke!
The Boomer soundtrack. Shindig and Hullabaloo were where we got our Brit Invasion and other 60s fix. Syndicated shows like Lloyd Thaxton were also the BEST for seeing the Kinks, Knickerbockers, James Brown, Grassroots, McCoys, Supremes etc. Most here were playing on top of a backing track w/exception of some like the Hollies. Beck was playing on top of I'm A Man record... DC5 NEVER played Live - always on top of recorded back - see the Ed Sullivan fail on CZcams when tapes don't start. But - we can say for sure there is no Auto-tuned vocals or "samples" from other bands here!!! 100% Beef no synthetic filler! 🎸
Loved Shindig. The Hollies. Graham Nash playing a Vox Phantom guitar. The chicks. What’s not to like?
That 12 string teardrop is in the hands of Tony Hicks.
Not sure that Graham's guitar is even plugged in...
Just One Look, Graham's playing a Danelectro.
I only wish that they had male dancers on shindig just like the action kids on' "where the action is"'daily Rock and roll show by Dick Clark. those action kids were really cool to watch while they traveled around the country.
Tonight Could be the Night
Wow I am 65 years old miss the old days
The 60s was alot of great songs,And Leslie Gore is a great singer,RIP💐
Met LG at a frat party at Tufts U . She was just as nice as could be. I liked her very much.
@@tomcooley3778 that's great and she was a great singer,my mom Joyce Parsons loved her singing,mom passed in2020,of November 13
@@lisaparsons4124 Yes Lisa. It was many 1964 and our band was doing the gig . When we were done she and her date came up and just started talking to us . We must have visited for about 30 minutes and then they had to go. Her date said oh by the way this is Leslie Gore and the four of us were just blown away. She was so nice and down to earth. It was a very cool experience. And she was real cool lady . I liked her a lot . And I’ve had that memory all these years .
I had the absolute privilege of seeing Leslie Gore a few years before her death in a little venue in Seattle. Still as good then as she'd been back 'in the day'. Great singer and spokesperson for the LGBTQ+ community.

Never missed a show.
I also loved where the action is.
American bandstand and the Ed Sullivan show every Sunday night.
Does anyone remember these.
It's a treasure to see Brian Wilson so engaged on stage!
I saw the Beach Boys in concert in Washington DC about 1965 or 1966 I think it was. When they all wore white pants and short sleeve striped shirts. I was 13 or 14 years old. Wonderful.
@@timmotel5804 Got to see the original Beach Boys in concert at 3 River Stadium in Pittsburg around 1979 or 1980. They also wore their uniform white pants & striped shirts there & were lead in by Gary can't think of his last name but he did Dreamweaver & Peter Frampton. It was a summer concert & everyone was great !!
If I could give this 2 thumbs up I would. From a young kid who was 14 in 1965 in Sydney Australia. 👍👍. Love to all who know the words to all these songs ❤❤
No one mentioned the Four Tops Levi Stubb's so great and wonderful! Like many love the Hollies, the Turtles, the DC 5, the Supremes, & Lovin Spoonful( a spoonful of sugar). Cher has seen do much she goes by on and on!!
Even though Shindig! only lasted a few seasons, they had every big rock group playing live, which was rare back then. The show's only rival in musical guests was Ed Sullivan. The Wikipedia page tells the whole story but the amount of talent that was behind the scenes was incredible too. Teri Garr and Toni Basil were shindig dancers, Darlene Love was a backup vocalist and members of the infamous Wrecking Crew were in the house band with many other famous musicians, too! So many artists that gained international fame had their first national tv appearances there. Thanks for uploading this legendary show.
Thanx for the info!
Toni Basil was also an assistant choreographer on the show, launching her career. She would work on the famous T.A.M.I. Show next.

Me too.....
"The Hand!!" On Dark Shadows, best spooky thing on TV.
10:00 - The Yardbirds bass player Paul Samwell -Smith looks like comedian Bill Hader.
You really had to know how to sing in the '60s. There was no auto-tune, and no stage monitors. On top of that, the top bands had to compete with waves of screaming girls. First band I ever saw live was "The Animals" featuring Eric Burdon. It was such a great era to be young in!
Here we go again...the good ole days without auto-tune...sorry there were tons of them back them who couldn't sing either....:)...lot's of fakery back then too...
I was there in the 60s going to concerts and all I heard was screaming girls….I was around 10 years old….mom took me!
But they FREQUENTLY lip synced
@@richbailey8174 Those autotune trolls crack me up. It's like they are triggered watching every live video. SMH
@@chrissygerwitz520 I know...I have to keep track if it's the same person or not..not that I can do anything about it...it's a psychology...we will always love what we grew up with and say new stuff is crap....I grew up with this old stuff too but there was a lot of crap in those days too...:)
I had a friend that could do a dead-on impression of Dianna Ross. He was white. It would have us rolling on the floor in spasms. I'm laughing now as I write this. Wish we would have filmed it in '65. We were 15 and it was so screamingly funny.
I wish you would have as well! Sounds hilarious!
Being six in '65 with an eight year older big sis I was already getting into rock and roll. This brings back some real memories. We loved Shindig! We were kind of starved for visuals with music in this era and this show opened the floodgates. This is a cool compilation never mind the quality. It's historic. It was like the start of the mass acceptance of this new music. I doubt the youth of today can even grasp the importance of this show to the youth and the times.
Same exact age, same older sister. I watched shows like this and Hullabaloo and Ed Sullivan because she did, but I fell in love with music then and it's never stopped. The British Invasion stuff still has a deep hold on me. I can tap into that feeling of excitement and energy in a way that's impossible to describe to anyone who wasn't there
@@greg7656 I remember drawing stick figures playing and I always wrote VOX on the amps and tried to recreate The Beatles simple logo on my art attempts. It dug deep in me too.
I was 9 years old in 1965 with a 13 year old sister. She took the lead with Shindig, Hullabaloo, and Bandstand. We lived 50 miles north of New York City. The WMCA Good Guys and Cousin Bruce Morrow at WABC were always on as well.
I turned 5 that September, but I had six older siblings, three who were at least 10 years older and really into music. My dad liked folk music and listened to top 40 radio and my mom played classical music on the piano. I was around music from the time I was born. By late 63, soon after I turned three, I was already paying attention to the songs I heard on the radio and on our record player. The first two songs I remember liking were 'Deep Purple' and 'I'm Leaving It up To You' in late 63/early 64. Then The Beatles came along and my siblings started buying their albums as they were released, so I was a Beatles nut from the very beginning. My brother Tom was playing and singing folk music by 1964 and my brother Kevin started playing and singing in a rock band in 1966. I had no idea back then just how special those time were for music, it just seemed that's how things were supposed to be. So many great memories of listening to music and seeing bands play on TV shows, of hearing my brothers play and my mom playing the piano. 1964 was the beginning of a whole new era, which had been blossoming for a couple of years. So thankful I grew up with all of that wonderful music. I have a book called Pop Annual, it has listings year by year from 1955-1982 of every song that made the top 100 on the Billboard charts. It's fun looking through that to see all the songs that were on the charts back then. We were lucky.
@@NoviJimB I am in great company! What a magical era we grew up in for music!
The Hollies were fantastic!
Loved seeing this although I don't think Shindig was on Canadian TV when I was a kid. I remember those "Mondrian' dresses the dancers wore in some of the clips - they were so cool! Is anyone else googling these singers while watching the video?
I grew up in Canada in that era too. I can't remember if it was this show or maybe American Bandstand, but the Who came on, played a song or two, then smashed all their instruments. Instant Who fan.
Well that was fun. I credit the Yardbirds with creating psychedelic music. I know what year this was. 1965. A very bittersweet year for me. I was 10-11 years old, and my family had one relentlessly hellish year. One year when all hell was breaking loose every way imaginable. My family and I like to refer to it as the year of disaster. But music pulled me through all of it
This crem de of the crem of rock music. Nowhere today do we have the quality of music back then. Appreciate this. We will never see this music ever again!
This was such trip! Watched every show like this back in the 60’s. Seeing the Stones and the Yardbirds at the end defined my 1965 12 year old kid future for love of blues based rock.
Desertcat: I think we're clones.....I'm in southern Arizona and am 67. Sounds like we're cut from the same cloth, anyways. I NEVER missed an episode. Man....we had fantastic rock n' roll coming at us from every angle for many years....beginning with the "British Invasion". All these bands had serious chops.....no fake singing, no fake licks, and they ALL could stand up and belt out the ROCK. Lord knows I miss that aspect of those days. God Bless us all. jbeinarizona
@@joelewing4498 Ha, if not clones, then cousins. Yes, we were so lucky to have wave after wave of music that has never gotten old...to me, anyway. Rock, blues and metal has stayed with me all of these 68 years and will continue to do so. Bless the invention of headphones (at least the neighbors would say that). Blessings to you, too.
Yes-luv The Animals for that reason as well; Blues incorporated in to the Rock.
Nice to hear "Louie, Louie" sung with intelligible lyrics!!
Perhaps one of the great mysteries of the 1960's solved here- what are lyrics to 'Louie, Louie'?!!!
The whole point of Louie Louie was the assumption that the lyrics were very naughty.
When I was in the 7th grade , just after my 13th birthday, the FBI came to my school and demanded that my band tell them the " dirty lyrics to 'Louie Louie' . We played it for them and then told them there are no 'dirty words anywhere in the song on the song we recited them and said them like they're sung. They did not believe us. We explained that were written to sound Jamaican. Example; ' " Me see Jamaican moon above . ." and that the singer slightly slurs the words as Fats Domino recommended, he said " you should never sing the words too clearly ". They still wouldn't believe us. I wonder if anyone at the FBI ever put the record through the thing that filters out the other sounds in a much later decade to once and for all solve this non-mystery. Hope they can sleep better. This is one of my favorite memories of that time among countless others. Maybe they can make my smart phone quit being so dumb!
Sorry for the typo. My dumb phone made me spell Yardbirds as two words. I finally made it with quit by typing in Yardbirds and putting it in the dictionary on my phone
@@christopherrich7107 I can tell you. They are ; A fine little girl she wait for me I catch a ship across the sea.bU sail that ship all alone I wonder if I'll ever make it home Louie Louie oh no . . . Three nights and days I sail the sea Think of girl constantly I sail that ship all alone I wonder if I'll ever make it home. Louie Louie oh no . . . Me say Jamaica moon above, ground It won't be long, won't be long Take her my arms and then I tell her I'll never leave again. Louie Louie oh no me gotta go Yi yi yi Louie Louie oh baby me gotta go, me gotta go now said me gotta go now Let's go . Next time you hear the record read along with it and you'll hear them easily. That is if you're not the FBI
Wow, Donovan looked so young here. Always dug his jams. All these acts were the cool musical performers of our generation.
I saw him at Watford Folk Club )the top room in a pub, the venue for most folk clubs in those days) in late 1964, before he got his break in 1965 on Ready Steady Go! tje weekly t.v. pop show in U.K. The folkies didn't like him, considered him to be an obvious Dylan copycat. Which he was. But there was some originality in his hits.
British Dylan
@@wayinfront1 yes, mellow yellow and sunshine Superman etc..he went psychedelic
@@wayinfront1 Oh, thanks. I was gonna ask who was copying who. I thought that was Dylan singing at the start of the clip until the first close-up.
@@jamesmack3314
Virtually all pop singers went psychedelic & when they didn’t musically, they dressed like it Hippie style.
Shindig was way before my time but I still enjoy watching these great performers.!
Well it’s time it’s time it’s so time to dig Shindig!
I was born in the late 60's. Cool to finally see these segments.
absoluteley thanks to u tube i get to enjoy these gifts im a 50 year old American loving these musical gems
There's a track each by The Rolling Stones and The Yardbirds at the end of this show that I've never seen before. 2 hidden gems.
I was having a hard time remembering The Hollies' I'm Alive. I knew I had heard it before but couldn't place it and it confused me, probably because I have not heard it since then. I love it when that happens.
@@hollywoodharriet13 It's in my head on 'ear worm' right now.
Anything with the Dave Clark 5 I will watch.
Aka The DC Five
@Joan In Florida No, they were never close to being as big as the Beatles in any way. They're also the biggest fraud to come out of the British music Invasion. Most of the songs were written by others, who didn't get credit or royalties (because Dave Clarke lied to them) . The songs were played by studio musicians when recorded. Even the drums were played by a studio drummer. Every live performance that can be found is of them lip syncing to the studio track.
Unfortunately, they were the only act here on this compilation that wasn’t singing or playing live. Finding live DC5 is pretty hard to find… the recordings that I have heard showed they weren’t a bad band live at all… Dave Clark was too much about their “image”… there should have been more truly “live” appearances by them.
@@truethought62 I have a list of 282 live DC5 performances; hence, there is plenty to choose from in creating a videography.
Mike Smith is the one worth watching...terrific singer and keyboardist.
My wife and I are both 71. And we grew up in SoCal (Pasadena). That area (LA) seemed to be a hub of activity --- bitchin beaches, weather, people and talent. As we look back on these great musicians that we lived through, we realize how fortunate we were (and are). Time for another revolution.....
Long before Pilates, there was Freddie and the Dreamers.
That was awful! Looks ridiculous
@@jamesmack3314 Freddie was a very kind person. The Freddie is actually a lower impact version is Jumpin Jacks…..Perfect for pregnant women.
@@jamesmack3314 it was innocent, it was fun...just like that "first love" should be
@@pickmeaname yes but it was also lame😜
What an amazing time. These were actual shindigs! Hard to even believe the energy at that time.
You too huh ? I was in grade school but man I'd like to live it all over again .
Shure, although, when cocaine was in coca-cola, I do not find the energy too hard to believe. ;)
@@DoubleOBalls Cocaine was out of Coke by the 30's. This wasn't quite that old.
@@DoubleOBalls
Whoa!
@@DoubleOBalls
You've got a warped sense of history. Coca-Cola hasn't had any cocaine in it for more than 90 years.
I was 9 when this show started. I Would sit patiently waiting for the show to begin. It shaped my life, I’m 66 now and I made a living my entire life playing and teaching music. But these were my roots.
Yep, I remember it all. Drinking beer, discovering the ladies; had a ‘65 GTO, then a ‘66 427 Corvette. Then we had that damn war.
❤
@@monicadonnelly4991 Thank you, girl.. it was a great time.
RIP the great Jeff Beck. I had a 45 of the Yardbirds "Heart Full of Soul" and "For Your Love."
There are some amazing live performances especially the incredible proto psychedelic Yardbirds Jeff Beck rendition at the end. They were showing us the way before Hendrix.
Wow-didn’t realize Little Saint Nick by The Beach Boys was that old of a song when the Brother drummer, Dennis, was still alive. This is one of the classic Christmas songs played during Christmastime every year.
Dennis Wilson died in 1983. These performances are from the mid 1960s.
Very thoughtful of Mike Love to do the hand actions for the benefit of deaf viewers.
The Yardbirds ( proto Led Zep) were phenomenal- here with Jeff Beck.
Hullabaloo was the other show with great music!
True- but "HULLABALOO" was aimed at more of a "family" audience, with "older" guest hosts {Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello, Steve Lawrence, Trini Lopez, Sammy Davis Jr., Jack Jones, et. al.}, so that parents would be more "comfortable" watching the show with their kids. During the first few months, producer Gary Smith even offered a comedian between the musical numbers {Don Adams, Woody Allen, Marilyn Michaels, et. al.}, so that it looked more like a "pop" version of "THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW".
@@fromthesidelines interesting. I remember Hullabaloo always being the cooler show - even the dancers were better.
and add TheMidnight Special. late night
Great to see the original Beach Boys(with Brian playing bass guitar)!
What a great episode.
Were all of them like this?
No wonder this show was iconic.
Every single Shindig was epic! Righteous Brothers were there often, but there were so many top rock stars on that show.
I wasn't allowed to go to any of the school dances, but I really enjoyed watching and copying the Shindig dancers on my secondhand tv in my room.
My parents let me go to the back to school dance in the fall with a neighbor who was in my class. He was a sweet guy. Anyways, when we walked into the gym they were playing the popular songs on 45 rpm records. We were dancing a nice slow song and then the next song was Justeen! I made every move I had seen the girls on Shindig doing. I didn't know that everyone didn't dance like that! 😮 Anyways I certainly made an impression on all the kids who knew me as being shy and quiet. 😊 😂
Great experience and great memories.
This is a compilation of a number of shows.
OMG! The Yardbirds RULE!
Oh, yes indeed!
Wow... watching a young Nigel Tufnel close out the video and change the world with that solo!!
Wow, this was when Zal was truelove into their songs and happy before becoming resentful..Love it! Also The 4 Tops stayed a band till death only 1 left..
Thanks for posting this, so many memories brought a tear to my eye....helped by fair drop of whisky to be honest. love and peace
What a awesome blast from our past
Try and catch the wind. These were the days of poets, wordsmiths; true artists and musicians.
Now, repeating ad nauseum the f word (Lizzo) seems to be the height of creativity, yeah, yeah, yeah, right.
20:17 I have a friend who still dances like that. He never married.
To see Dave Clark 5, The Hollies, Yardbirds and Gerry and Pacemakers in an compilation is a beautifull opportunity to remember my 11 years !
Wow, this brings back some memories!!
In Canada we heard how great Shindig was, but could not see it because ancient old lady TV program directors knew better! I always felt we missed something great growing up. This video only confirms that thought. So very disappointing I could not see this way back then. Thanks again for showing this it is so special!
The 60s were the absolute best years for music. I never missed Shindig or the other music shows of that time. Funny to watch it now in black and white. Didn’t know any better at the time!!
The Supremes were show-stoppers!! Love em!! 👏👏👏
I grew up in Detroit. The Supremes were a hometown group.
I dig the Yardbirds!They had hits that were trippy and they had Clapton, then Beck and Page along with Kieth Reif. What a cool group!
So glad I grew up in the sixties. I wouldn't give it up for anything. Sure getting old sucks but that time period for music will never be replicated. It was the decade when everything changed. Some good, some bad. But it was amazing.
The 60s was the Golden Era for pop and rock bands. Basically nearly the last era for dancing. We could learn the newest dances by watching Shindig, American Bandstand, Shebang, and others. The last of the, Soul Train, held out for quite awhile. Do teens even have school dances after home games anymore? We also hand some cities that had teen night in their park,had local bands play, and we had a blast. No admission fee. I feel so sorry for the kids that came after us.
I had white go-go boots like that!
That was my sister's & my big Christmas wish in California in 1965!
