I went to the TAMI show with my mother. I was ten years old and my mother was the rep for The Barbarians and Joy Music Publishing Co. I started playing guitar after the show and am still playing.
Great description, Kim! As I watched it just now, before I read you comment, I was just remembering when I was a teenager and first saw this film. It took the excitement I'd felt at seeing the Beatles and kicked it up a notch (as did my first viewing of the Who) - something about there being a way to be fully alive, as you say, that I knew I hadn't reached yet but really wanted to!
I was there! We all did not realize at the time that we were living Rock and Roll History! I went to Samo High at the time only 2 blocks away from Santa Monica Civic Auditorium!
Moulty played an important role in my life. I studied Uechi Ryu karate from him (he was an amazing karateka and teacher) and we played music together. I last saw him many years ago at a concert featuring the reconstituted Barbarians (one son on bass and the other on drums) and he was full of life.
@@pawemulak2878 Viv Prince and Skip Alan were drummers for the Pretty Things. Viv left the band in 1964 and Skip joined the band around 1965. Well, the band as a whole would make the Stones out to be a group of nuns. Two great drummers who performed, including going to the audience. The moshpit wasn't developed, but they were getting there.
1964? These guys were ahead of their time! Garage-Punk! They rock so hard that compared to all of the other acts of the time (Billy Kramer, Pacemakers- even The Beatles and Stones) these guys might as well be Black Sabbath or The Sex Pistols! Very influential- just saw this last night and this is the newest cover song for our band!
Elvis beat them all to it, because he was playing FUZZ electric guitar by May 1963....LONG before Stones, Beatles, Yardbyrds....have a listen....th-cam.com/video/fmoqw2_dKhI/w-d-xo.html
The Barbarians is really special and I'm glad the cameras focused on Moulty. Very long hair for 1964 and ahead of its time. Garage, punk, power-pop, EVERYTHING is there. The Ramones immortalized the band. All that was left was to see the band in action.
Those dancers are the greatest! They really put the punctuation on this already amazing classic song. If I could I'd live here forever, like Groundhog Day!
Be sure to check out Joy Ciro (the woman top left bikini) early in the show as she dances to Chuck Berry's "Nadine", in a medley with Gerry & the Pacemakers!
Saw them in Provincetown when I was 15 years ols in a club there. Also,when they played Lincoln Park Ballroom. They used Super Beatles amps at the time and they were so amazing in person! Great memories!
Loved their song "Are You A Boy Or Are You A Girl?" It could be our National Anthem. With all the freaks, sissy boys and mutants in this country this song is very appropriate. Notice TH-cam turned off the comments on that song. I wonder why? Maybe because to many people made honest truthful comments.
ANYBODY WATCHING AT THIS IN MAY 2019 ? THAT'S WHAT THE MUSIC SHOULD BE !!! LIVE !!! NO PLAYBACK !!! GREAT WORK BY THE BARBARIANS !!! THE DRUMMER WITH ONE HAND AND THE HOOK WAS AWESOME !!! GREAT WORK BY VICTOR MOLTIER (MOULTY) !!!
I worked at the Paramount Theatre in Wilkes-Barre, PA as an usher when this show was released. This is definitely on of the great spots in the show, in fact you can see that a lot of groups were influenced by this performance. I have a mint copy of the 45 RPM of this song on the Joy label, but it's nowhere as good as this version!! This video is a must see for all 60's R&R fans.
These guys are from Provincetown on Cape Cod. The drummer Moulty is Victor Moltier.He blew his hand off on a home made bomb.They have a very heavy booming sound.
When you watch and listen to this video, you have to remember that this was October 1964. This song, as played in this video (it was tamer on the 45), rocked hard like few others did at that time. It was a shame that the single flopped when released, but think McFly in Back To The Future, jamming "Johnny B. Goode, a 1958 song, but breaking into some Hendrix-style playing, in what was November 1955 in the film. Most weren't ready for that quite yet.. They should have re-released this in 1966.
Thankfully “Hey Little Bird” took on a life as a garage band classic! Any garage group worth their salt had to play “Hey Little Bird” in their repertoire!!
Two of the front men here, Jerry Causi and Bruce Benson along with later Barbarians member Geoff Morris, went on to form Black Pearl, with Tom Mulcahy, Bernie Fieldings and Jim "Oak" O'Connor.
Jim Pilster was a member of the Cryan' Shames, another 60's garage band, and he also only had one hand. He just played the tambourine,though, not the drums. Jim was born with only one hand
i dont see anything wrong with lip syncing, ensures no mistakes can be made from a musical side, and gives the artist more freedom to move around on stage. Everyone knew that they were lip syncing, but they didn't care because seeing the artist was the real treat.
I remember hearing this song on a random cassette I found in my house when I was a kid in the early 90s. But I think it was a cover because I distinctly remember a female voice singing it.
@Rolco64 I was wowed by his drumming when I saw this and didn't notice the prosthesis at all until an article came out about him in the Boston Globe! I had to go back and watch it in disbelief.
Among many other greats from the NYC early punk scene 1977 was one hell of a year for those who were lucky enough to live in and through it for that matter. The Chesterfield Kings do a great cover of this song and brought it to a generation who otherwise would never heard it. Pure rock n roll
The Ramones actually mention Moulty in one of their songs. Do You Remember Rock 'n' Roll Radio? Will you remember Jerry Lee, John Lennon, T. Rex and OI Moulty? It's the end, the end of the 70's It's the end, the end of the century
@creekmorebanks You can hear Jan & Dean introducing them at the beginning, just in case there is any more doubt that this clip isn't from the T.A.M.I. SHOW, one of the greatest rock & roll movies ever made.
One of those many bands who are talented and had their 15 minutes . They just didn't evolve but that is okay. The Drummer actually reminds me of Keith Moon in that he has an original style that can keep time but still act as an extra intrument that adds to the msuic. Nevertheless great song !
The girl on the right at 52seconds moves her legs sideways while doing a motion with her hand. Looks easy but i wanna see someone try that right now lol.
We really need to bring this kind of music back. Today's music sucks with its synthetic pre recorded auto tune crap. Break out the guitars, drums, hammond B3 and three chords.
Faut que je vous raconte : Juste avant mon réveil, j'ai révé d'un ami , rocker et mort, qui nous disait , " Les Barbarians! J'aime ce groupe la!.." Et, ce qui est rigolo, c'est qu'avant ça, ce matin, j'ai révé que ma chatte Pumpkine nous avait ramené une petite boite mouvante, j'ai eu peur qu'on y découvre un oisillon moribond car j'en ai la phobie, mais non, en sortit un sèmillant petit oiseau dont je n'eut meme pas peur ! Et, quand je me suis levé plus tard avec l'idée de poster The Barbarians ici, j'ai trouvé a l'exact endroit oú Pumpkine m'avait déposé le petit oiseau, une magnifique parure d'oreille de princesse en plastoc ! Je cherche Barbarians , et je tombe sur leur tube: Hey Little bird !!!
Who are the band members from left to right? I know Victor Moulty is in the back on drums but is Jerry Causi the lead singer on the left? Bruce Benson in the middle? Jerry Causi on the right?

This story is a good reason for me to pay for the internet.
Thanks for sharing an amazing story. They should incredible
Living in Woods Hole, MA in the summer of '65 they were broadcast daily on WBZ Boston and WPRO Providence.
An absolute killer band!!! Very ahead of their time. My mom was at this show.
My mom was in the band! She was playing bass!
She had a sex change a bit later…..
One of the most exciting moments in 1960s rock n roll. Moulty at 1:30 is the very definition of being fully alive.
Great description, Kim! As I watched it just now, before I read you comment, I was just remembering when I was a teenager and first saw this film. It took the excitement I'd felt at seeing the Beatles and kicked it up a notch (as did my first viewing of the Who) - something about there being a way to be fully alive, as you say, that I knew I hadn't reached yet but really wanted to!
Understood! Sailing on into the mystic!
1964? I wonder if Keith Moon saw this?😄
I was there! We all did not realize at the time that we were living Rock and Roll History!
I went to Samo High at the time only 2 blocks away from Santa Monica Civic Auditorium!
Sheila Lawrenson hello Sheila what was it really like being there can you tell me more? Are you visible from audience.
Moulty played an important role in my life. I studied Uechi Ryu karate from him (he was an amazing karateka and teacher) and we played music together. I last saw him many years ago at a concert featuring the reconstituted Barbarians (one son on bass and the other on drums) and he was full of life.
So Keith Moon from The Who wasn't first who made show like this. First was Moulty
@@pawemulak2878 very different drumming styles, but both great - and contemporaneous.
@@mj.l I meant the show (while playing), not the drumming style. Both great
@@pawemulak2878 Viv Prince and Skip Alan were drummers for the Pretty Things. Viv left the band in 1964 and Skip joined the band around 1965.

This was a good song saw them live in 65, this should have been as big as Are you a Boy!!!
Ron was my roommate & one of the greatest friend I ever had. We lived in Dennisport Cape Cod
The Babarians is bigger than the Rock and roll hall of fame. Moulty gets me really touched.
the drummer is not caring about what u think ,he is loving life
He is awesome and I love his hair, lol!
He is my grandma's cousin!
One hand at a time!
..... as well it should be
Moulty!!!! He's legendary...

The T.A.M.I. show took place in October 1964 at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium . The performances took place over two days for a film
A one handed drummer long before Def Leppard. Super cool, man.
Moulty! He's legendary.
I just found found this band by watching the T.A.M.I. show. Great garage sound!
Those dancers are the greatest! They really put the punctuation on this already amazing classic song. If I could I'd live here forever, like Groundhog Day!
Be sure to check out Joy
Ciro (the woman top left bikini) early in the show as

I love how the guitarist on the right was glancing back , trying to figure out why all the guys were drooling.
This world needs more go go dancers.
Can’t have that any more, unfortunately….too “sexist”, or something??

For a guy with only one hand, that drummer is really into it.
Moulty rockin' out!
wxdogs he's a regular at my work ☺
When you've only got one hand, you'd better be!
He's my grandmas cousin :)
Really outstanding! Surprised that they never made it big like some of the other bands.
Great band and song.
ANYBODY WATCHING AT THIS IN MAY 2019 ? THAT'S WHAT THE MUSIC SHOULD BE !!! LIVE !!! NO PLAYBACK !!! GREAT WORK BY THE BARBARIANS !!! THE DRUMMER WITH ONE HAND AND THE HOOK WAS AWESOME !!! GREAT WORK BY VICTOR MOLTIER (MOULTY) !!!
May 2020
2020 September and I still dig this
Moulty was my grandma's cousin
I waited a little longer,its 1/04/24 10:25a

+paul - why was he making a bomb?
It was a fireworks accident..
Rumors were, that he was doing that to set it off in his high school as a prank or something.
It was a a fireworks accident not a home bomb or pipe bomb this answer came directly from Moulty
Victor "Moulty" Moulton
One of Cape Cods best bands from 1965! Go Moulty go!
Cape cod
@@Zetaga Okay, one of Massatwoshits great bands. Are You aBboy was all over the radio when I was a kid
@@sulladrum awesome
@@Zetagasorry, I grew up in Chicago listening to The Shadows of Knight!

And, listen to the kids in the audience! They were going nuts! They probably wondered when they would ever hear the likes of that again!
Bill Descoteaux Bullshit
Bill Descoteaux The single didn't flop and don't burn Bttf into this
the actual single they cut was not as good as this performance

jacoba atlas No
Jerry Causi is my brother. He lives in Idaho now.
Forget It is a great song!
Jim Pilster was a member of the Cryan' Shames, another 60's garage band, and he also only had one hand. He just played the tambourine,though, not the drums.
Jim was born with only one hand
Fantastic 👌
What happened to this terrific band? They really rocked for 1964!
I keep hoping someone will do a documentary on the dancers from these two fantastic movies!
One of about three rock vids from the mid-60s which was ACTUALLY LIVE and NOT LIP-SYNCED, what a concept..
The TAMI show which this is from was totally live & one of the great concert films from the 60s!
gwugluud 77 stfu
There are more than you think, Beatles, Rolling Stones etc. True a lot are not live but many are.
i dont see anything wrong with lip syncing, ensures no mistakes can be made from a musical side, and gives the artist more freedom to move around on stage. Everyone knew that they were lip syncing, but they didn't care because seeing the artist was the real treat.
The studio version is much slower than this, this version is faster, wilder, more rock and the best of course.
I'd love to get the DVD of the TAMI show as well. Quality is awesome for 1964.
Who is that incredible dancer behind them in the bell bottoms and pigtails? Amazing dancing going on there.
An underage Anita Mann.
She did other album-cover
work. "Raunchy" by (Bill
Doggett?)
Song speeds up noticeably. I guess if I was playing in that auditorium with so many crazy screaming females I'd get more than a bit excited too
A great band!
Moulty was cool as hell.
still is!
Some great dancing going on at the back.
Indeed! They spared no expense on imitating. True capitalism at its best!
I remember hearing this song on a random cassette I found in my house when I was a kid in the early 90s. But I think it was a cover because I distinctly remember a female voice singing it.
First time I've ever seen a go-go boy.
Moulty looks like Zal Yanovsky of the Lovin' Spoonful.
The other guys all look like Kevin Nealon.
Killer action! Thanks for posting!
A drummer with no left hand is a unique, ahem, “hook.”
Moulty is a beast back there!
@Rolco64 I was wowed by his drumming when I saw this and didn't notice the prosthesis at all until an article came out about him in the Boston Globe! I had to go back and watch it in disbelief.
Influencing the Ramones since 1964...

@@johneckhart8198 the Miracle workers, too!!!
The Ramones actually mention Moulty in one of their songs.
Do You Remember Rock 'n' Roll Radio?
Will you remember Jerry Lee,
John Lennon, T. Rex and OI Moulty?
It's the end, the end of the 70's
It's the end, the end of the century
Jesus, very Keith Moonish, what became of the drummer! As for the last few seconds of the dancers - wow!
Owns a carpet cleaning biz in Abington mass
I'm from Ma and Are You a Boy or Are You A Girl was a big hit here.
“So I Iearned to play the drums and got me a band, and now we’re startin’ to make it...”
Brilliant !!
Great song song by a great man!
Does anyone know the brand of guitar the lead and rhythm guitarists are playing? Not sure if the headstocks have the Gretsch logo on them.
pretty sure that's a Gretsch Corvette
Check out Terri Garr as one of the go-go dancers and Glen Campbell playin guitar as a member of the Wreaking crew in the back of the stage!
Yes, but not in this Barbarians clip. The Jan &
Dean songs show the band the best...
ya gotta love those dancers!
Very cool group!
Dancers without their hands grabbing their crotch. How unique!
I don’t remember this song by them, but I remember “Are You a Boy, or are You a Girl”.. great song
The drummer is my grandma's cousin!
Now this is real Rock N Roll
WOW!! How cool is this :)
@creekmorebanks You can hear Jan & Dean introducing them at the beginning, just in case there is any more doubt that this clip isn't from the T.A.M.I. SHOW, one of the greatest rock & roll movies ever made.
I thought it was a guy imitating Ed Sullivan. :D

the drummer came to work ready to work
These guys didn't even know that their Beatle haircuts could be reused to imitate the Ramones.
That’s dedication
At 1:30, I just love seeing Moulty enjoying life after his tragic accident
Yeah he lost it from a firework accident I believe.
WOW the is playing with a prosthetic arm. way to go. anyone know his name.
His name is Moulty.
He blew it off playing with fireworks.
SylentEcho Stfu
His name is Victor Moulton known in the band and elsewhere as "Moulty"
This goes hard
Wow that was so barbaric🦄😎🦄👍✌🤣😅😂😄😆😁😀😃🤣😅🦄😎🦄
Clarence Erickson 😂😂LoL!
Yea, I would agree,It's Moulty. I watched this a few times.
Pretty good song
grande Moulty!
“Don’t turn away…”
.It s cool.
THIS GREAT++++++++.DRUMMIS ++++++++++++++
@TheBobFiles
That's a very early Gibson EB2 bass..
Damn this is the first Garage Rock song
Shows that the so called British Invasion was bs. These guys are great.
What? The Beatles were “bs”? What are you on about?
The drummer is a GOD.
Brian Last brought me here
I am surprised this was not a national hit.
KC3141 It should be
redefined the word "cool"
The Toxic Male in me demands the return of go-go dancers.
GO MOULTY GO!!!
The girl on the right at 52seconds moves her legs sideways while doing a motion with her hand. Looks easy but i wanna see someone try that right now lol.
Moulty!
@Rolco64 Amen to that.
Now i'm going to pop amyls and watch "Days."
Them and The Blossoms were cut from the movie
they performed?
We really need to bring this kind of music back. Today's music sucks with its synthetic pre recorded auto tune crap. Break out the guitars, drums, hammond B3 and three chords.

yea , it's a great song......but forget all that , who's the dancer in the bikini in the upper left of the screen .!!!!!
The late Joy Ciro. Forget
this clip, watch her dance to Chuck Berry's "Nadine"
early in the show, in a medley with Gerry & the
Pacemakers. Amazing!
So much better than the studio version.
Wow. If you can spot terri Garr and Glen Campbell in this clip my hat is off to you.
I spotted Leon Russell
Moulty was the wild r'n'r drummer before Moonie!
Somebody knows a cover of this song made by a band called "the stolen cars"?
