I missed this when it was on TV , so , thank you for putting it up. Great footage , especially the color Shadows of Knight clip , and the brief early Ides of March clip , too. I guess the "Kiddie A Go - Go" clip is the only original existing footage (?) on the New Colony Six in their pre - pop ballad heyday...But , would I have liked seeing Dirty Wurds , Del - Vettes , Id , Knaves , Cherry Slush , Long John and The Silvermen , Lincoln Park Zoo , etc. ? Does Howdy Doody have wooden balls?
Great stuff ... it's amazing how so many towns had great local music scenes like this (Detroit, LA, Seattle, Boston, NY, Philly, etc.) back in the 60's.
My childhood memories of the 60s living in Chicago's NW side then having 2 siblings that were 6 & 8 years older then me. This music was always playing in our home. The 45 record holder cases filled w/98¢ records & $2.98¢ albums in there own cases. 70s were more my era but 60s music to me was better music. It was not until the 80s when music was at it's best and so many groups today copy it!
Grateful WLS my first Magnavox - then Off the chart WCFL, Chicken Man ! I was 10! We moved to Highland Park- North Dallas in 1966 and on Frequency Friendly Nights, I could on Occasion have Perfectly received WLS, -wanted CFL but it did not carry..
You look a bit too young to have been a part of the 60s Rock Scene. I was born in 1966 in Chicagos Old own n love meeting others who were around then as I was a baby lol.

When I was a kid my mom sent me to upper Mi in the summer with family, whenever I got homesick I would listen to WLS, it only came in at night.

Chicago Blues has to be exported out to Britain and re-imported back to Chicago for white Chicago kids to actually pay attention
