The cinematography quality is superb. This film is 57 years old and could have been made yesterday.
probably because it has never been played
yes sir quite superb
@@barryrudge1576 Proper film storage & scanning, mate!
@@barryrudge1576 This was a Pathe News film. They were made for cinemas to show in between films. They were of the highest quality and made on 35mm sound cine film. This one is actually quite well known.
@@barryrudge1576😂😂😂😂😂😂
Who is still listening to this in 2024 ? I am for sure 💃
Me
What a great sound they had. Smith's vocals are superb.
Here from a modern cover. Remember them from the day.
You are too young
Um . . . . Yeah! 👍
"Glad All Over" and "Bits and Pieces" were the two songs by this band I loved. 60's music is the best!
"You got what it takes" is my favorite DC5. Dave screwed up his ownership of their songs & deprived future generations of hearing their songs.
I also liked "Can't You See That She's Mine?" and I think "Because" rivalled "Cherish" by the Association
@@marvinchase4899 "Glad all over" booted Beatles "She Loves You" from top spot. It looked like they might keep up to the Fabs, but DC'S ghost writer wasn't nearly as prolific at putting out good material as John & Paul, & there are only so many old soul hits they could copy.
I like over and over
Because
I saw them at The Tottenham Royal in 1964. When they sang ‘Glad all over’ the entire audience stamped on the floor, and it was truly electrifying.
They were an amazing group. 🎵🎵🎵
I was there, stamping along. Aso saw The Who, The Move, Little Stevie Wonder.....
I saw them in the States in '65, they were amazing :D
Did they sound exactly like the record?
Because they were playing the record offstage… it’s called mime
@@garthkolbeck8674 When I saw them at The Tottenham Royal they were definitely live!
@@garthkolbeck8674 They were well known as a great LIVE band.
Just as I know every lyric of every Beatles' hit from '62-'66, I know every lyric to the DC5's hits! They were a GREAT band.
Mike Smith..underrated
A phenomenal voice
Made their mark in rock history
What a WAZZER !!! Sold Millions !!!!!! Comment Reported !!
Mike Smith was the Best 🇬🇧 💖
He was very Lennon-esque in voice & looks which probably irked founder Clark! DC must have let's do our own Beatles hairstyle which looked a bit weird by piling it up on the top. Once the Beatles quit touring America adopted the DC5 & H.Hermits as Beatles-esque lookalikes. Best thing DC5 did was the Rock & Roll chart number in late 60s.
Yessir! Mike Smith was The man! And Dave Clark was overrated.
Wow...a lot of haters out there. The DC5 can’t possibly compare to the Beatles or many of the other British Invasion bands BUT these guys made great pop records that had a much tougher, aggressive sound than most of the other groups in the 60’s and no other group had such a huge sound in their early hits. And they sold an incredible amount of records. So, a little respect, please...
Stephanie Mack You described them, perfectly. A powerhouse of music, positivity, personality and so meticulously Handsome, also!
My problem is I never see them actually playing live. Were they really that great of musicians. Can't tell. Based on the footage I have seen they were not.
bengaljam, the stuff on TH-cam that I’ve seen of them live seems to indicate they were really good. They had a reputation as being a strong band in the clubs before they broke with “Glad All Over”.
@@bengaljam4550 none of groups. Play live. You cant look at instrement smile and. Sing you have two constent look at what your playen. When you see harder core someone like ERIC CLAPTON. Hes looken at guiter and not singen when he does solo playen. Beatles didnt play live cause screamin over them. And if group plays there instrement sound is more raw sound. The DAVE CLARK FIVE HAD TO DO LOT COMUNICATEN WITH AUDIENCE SO THEY REALLY CAN NOT LOOK DOWN PLAY AT SAME TIME. LOT PEOPLE DONT KNOW THAT.
@@guygrip4303 I can find many bands playing live especially bands from the 60's. Of course some TV shows pretty much required lip synching. Beatles live concerts are shown prominently. This video supposedly shows DC5 in concert but they are lip synching. Change my mind. Find me one instance on youtube where they are clearly playing live.
mike smith was not just the organist as announced, but also the lead singer.
the group should have been called the mike smith five.
Best comment bar none.
David Clark is an English musician, songwriter, record producer and entrepreneur. Clark was the leader, drummer and manager of the 1960s beat group the Dave Clark Five, the first British Invasion band to follow the Beatles to America in 1964. He kept them safe from bandit money managers. Without Dave Clark, there would have been no Dave Clark 5!
And the Spencer Davis Group should have been called the Stevie Winwood Group. Doesn't work that way.
Awesome thanks for the update on my way home
Yes he was... ... ... 🇬🇧
Only a cynic could dislike the Dave Clark Five. After all, here was a band that played upbeat, infectious pop, and who could possibly not fall for “Because,” one of the best, most Brian Wilson-worthy love songs ever written.
Written by Ronn Ryan. Stolen by Dave Clark
@@jimringomartinwhy didn't Ron Ryan sue Dave Clark if what you said is true.
@@DavidDillon101 they dislike groups that never heard before...
These guys have such a huge, tight sound. Very talented. Modern performers would struggle to be this good.
Modern performers are better than this. Playing to a backing track shows all sense of no talent.
My thoughts exactly. Can anyone confirm that they were miming?@@Mitchell-lc5kj
Agreed100 ❤
@@Mitchell-lc5kj as opposed to recording with autotune?
they were a very good group. they deserve more recognition today.
no they dont!
64-'66, they ruled equally with the Beatles, before drug rock entered the scene
Always lip synched…You never hear them live.
RIP the three members of The Dave Clark Five
Rick Huxley (August 5, 1940 - February 11, 2013), aged 72
Denis Payton (August 11, 1943 - December 17, 2006), aged 63
Mike Smith (December 6, 1943 - February 28, 2008), aged 64
You will be remembered as legends
R.I.P all !
TO EACH HIS OWN.
This is somehow so sweet and innocent compared to now.
Yes sir
I found Dave Clark a bit odd.
It's not innocent; it is how it was supposed to be.
mike smith really is dc5 bringing all that charisma charm and drive with his voice presence and playing but we also can't forget about the aggressive musical power brought by dave clarks drumming making the band standout as the Tottenham sound
I saw DC5 live at the Westchester County Center, White Plains, NY in 1964. A regional group the Pacesetters opened for them and Cousin Brucie WABC introduced them. I can’t honestly tell you if they lip synched or not instead of playing live (as they were known to do) - the screams from the audience were deafening. They made some great records and I agree with all who say Mike Smith was an underrated vocalist. Great memory.
Wow, never knew they were at the County Center !
Having seen them live in Phila that same year I can tell you they were not lip syncing. At this concert it was the Kinks that opened for them and I got to see the original Supremes. Another classic band. The black music for that era is sorely missed. The rap crap made today can’t compare.
@@bruceclark8333 "Wow!" The Kinks and Dave Clark Five on the same bill! I envy you
Altho I saw The Who and Jethro Tull in '72, and The Who did "Tommy"
@@marvinchase4899 yes 🙌 and the Supremes a fantastic experience!
Great British group. Brings back so many happy memories listening to their music. It never grows old like the modern music
I Remember banging our glass's
on the pub tables to this
Loved. Their music whilst doing my paper round ,vsinging to myself no phones then 1964ish 50 p per week , great days
I just love their energy and the fact that they're wearing Beatle boots! My mom used to have their album and I used to play it over and over again when I was little
Clever analogy. OVER & OVER was one of their hits!! 👍
They don't wear "Beatle Boots". The boots the DC5 wore were zippers with the Cuban heel. Paul wore zippers, John wore zippers, George wore zippers but Ringo wore the elastic band with lower heels. The others also wore them occasionally. ALL the British Invasion groups wore similar boots. The Beatles just happened to be one of them.
l was 10 yrs old and loved all this music . Happy days the '60's . Anyone got a time machine l could borrow ?
Me too, 10 yrs old at 1964 .
Really enjoyed these very talented young men. Sharply attired, complete musicians and always gave a great show.
At this time in history, not a time ti compare, but a time to fully engage and enjoy. We're all young only once for too short a time.
Mike Smith had such a great voice
The real musician in the group. RIP Mike.
@@joycerichardson1810 so their lead guitarist wasn't a real musician. He came from a jazz group. He went on to teach music at a college. And what about their sax player who also played 4 other instruments?
They were great. Seemingly simple songs played by great musicians. Lead singer had an amazing voice.
Great band from the sixties! Love these guys ! Class act ! Ed Sullivan loved these guys ! Great memories till this day . God Bless to all.
The first record I ever got was 'Bits and Pieces'. I was just a kid and my big sister bought it for me. I used to stamp my feet on the ground like them when I listened to it.
As a 74 year old picker who played many of the DC5 tunes over the years I have never found a video of them actually playing live, it's always miming to prerecorded track's...
Well, the way that they got their famous massive sound on record was through double-tracking everything from the drums to the vocals. There was no technology to do that stuff in live then, other than miming to a record, or if you had made the record with live performance in mind perhaps playing a backing track and singing over it.
If you listen carefully to things like the intro to "Glad all Over" you can clearly hear two drummers - resulting from double tracking - Clark refused to use an actual second drummer. It's also the reason why when you listen to their earlier stuff (before multi-track studios came in) some of the backing elements sound a little more muzzy than others. They laid down a track and then played it on one tape deck while playing along with it and recording the result on another deck. Sometimes 2-3 times I think. Listen to "You Got What It Takes" (for one example) and knowing how it was done you can hear the different sound quality of the different elements.
@@alanmusicman3385 I already mentioned a live performance on TH-cam of their command performance for the queen. I know there use to be a live performance on TH-cam of them doing Glad All Over and the drums sounded really bad. There might be a Shindig episode when they might have song live. At the end of the episode all the different performers would sing one verse of a song. I don't think the DC5 would lip sync while all the rest didn't.
Used a lot of reverb, too!
Great influential band. Even the Beatles spoke highly of them. Love the vid!
I was 12 in 1964 and they were up there with the Beatles. Thanks for the video!
I was 13
I was 13 and yes at that time they were just as great as The Beatles!
@@c.w.b.5409
I was 12 in 1964.
The DC5 were a popular beat group.
The Beatles were a phenomenon.
You're the same age as me then, Dec 1952, We're a couple of old farts but we grew up with the best music ever man.
I was minus 4 and still love this!!!
Glad All Over,my happy place song.
Always brings a smile,nor matter what the day brings.
Love the DC 5❤
I saw them in a pouring rainstorm in a high school football stadium in Virginia Beach 1965. Didn’t know at the time they weren’t really live but still enjoyed their music.
Don't listen to the BULLSH*T some people are saying. They were voted the best live group in London around 1963. Yes, they mimed on most of their TV appearances but they could and did play live.
Loud and proud.
Dave Clark was a control freak in every aspect of the band. It was as if all the members worked for him!
They did work for him. He hired them as employees and financed the band paying them a weekly salary. He was a businessman who leased the songs to the record companies for five years after which the rights reverted to him He told the Beatles and stones and others that the record companies were ripping them off but nobody listened His business acumen served him well as an executive with Amazon as well as other companies.A very average musician who recruited the band and understood the business side. None of the other members badmouthed him over the arrangement. What was mystifying is Mike never really pursued a career in music although he had some collaborations with other musicians
DC5 was one of the greatest groups ever. Awesome sound that captured a special moment in time
incredible video quality
Yes and as this was originally filmed, it is far more superior than video....
Because it was filmed in 35mm if not 70mm film. Network TV shows that were filmed (as opposed to videotape) were done so in 35mm because of the superior quality. In syndication, 16mm prints were sold to individual stations.
fake live audio 4:39 stomp yer beatle boots on the floor too much echo
@@ApartmentKing66
16mm is at about 5K and 32mm is at 8K resolution. It also has a color range far beyond HDR. No wonder it looks amazing.
@@ApartmentKing66
Grain is an option when it comes to 16 or 32mm. It is hard to say if it is 16 or 32mm. It is also in 4:3 ratio which makes it hard to tell.
It was the era of the Swinging Sixties.The Beatles,the Rolling Stones,the Tremeloes,the Who and the Dave Clark Five ruled the roost and took the music world by storm.Yes it was crazy in those mid Sixties.
They never played live for tv, only their concert tour
So many great bands came from across the waters they changed music a lot of talent
looked and sounded great--miss 'em a lot
Great memories. I never saw them but I remember “Glad all Over” blasting out of the radio in my 1956 Chevy Belair as we tore around the streets of Dorchester Massachusetts. I don’t think today’s teenagers get to feel that kind of vibe but I could be wrong.
Good stuff. I was a big DC5 fan. Played drums in a garage band a few years later. So much fun.
I love them!!!
Solid sound - brilliant.
I enjoyed their records as a kid and even now.
Mike Smith 5. ❤
Love Mike Smith!
One of the best lead vocalists of that generation.
You are not the only one!!! Me, too!!!
He was a great singer.
I was 6 and loved this song ... I would run around the house stamping my feet ... bit's and pieces, and I wanted beatle boots and a beatle hair cut ... but I would always get a regular boys haircut and hush puppies instead
ifoundthistoday 😂👍Yeah , me too
@Mr. West lndian t.v. no in 58

Excellent quality
They were really the Mike Smith Five!
another great unforgettable band from the 60's!!
Grupo musical de Tottenham
Remind me again who are they.
I've always liked the DC5's horse brasses mounted on the guitar straps.
Fantastic DC5 The best of the 60s
When I saw the Beatles in Indianapolis in 1964 the crowd was going nuts and passing out to be carried out. Amazing It change my life and music carrier. (This event is on u tube) TD Atlanta
They had good pop sound. Very clean cut,charming. Singer powerful,doesn't need a MICROPHONE!
I Love Oldie Songs...Thanks for sharing...
I was 8 years old heard their songs in1968 , no one can break a heart like you
Great Band! Great Sound!
Still got the Dave Clark five's first two mono Albums..always loved em'..
and I went around trying to find stereo versions of their hits, which I finally did. Have you heard Because in stereo? It really sounds great.
Of course the stereo version of Bits and Pieces is missing the stomping because it was add during the mixing down process and thus doesn't exist anywhere else. I once had an idea how to get the stomping isolated by creating a new recording with the mono+stomping panned all the way left and mixing the stereo version down to mono and having it panned hard right. The music on the two sides should cancel each other out leaving only the stomping in the center.
I was alive for this and the rest of 60 s and 70 s
Brian Duncan So was John Lennon.
Must have croaked at the tail end of the 70's.
@@magneto7930 May have been reincarnated.
Accident of birth. So was I.
I survived the 60’s. Both of them.
Loved this band.
DC5 were one of my favourites back in the day . They made some good old foot stomping hit records .
BECAUSE is my fav.
Boom Boom Boom Let’s stomp the Room!
The Dave Clark 5 made GREAT records. This is NOT live. It is lip synced, but who cares? They look great & the sound is great. The whole video is well staged & produced.
It was a Session Drummer called Bobby Graham that played on there Records.He was told to keep it simple So Dave could do it Live.
My Grandfather took me and my brother to see the Dave Clark band in NYC..At the RKO..In 1964.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 I'm still grooving almost years later.
They were fabulous 👌
Fantastic band, very popular Australia.
Great band - great hits!
Mike Smith, what a huge talent.
Those were the days. !
My sister found greatest hits record at yard sale in mid 70s, we learned all the songs, underrated for sure
Great colors. I like them. Miss the superb Mike Smith.
DC 5 was the first LP I bought (Greatest Hits) in 1966 I was 13 years young!!!
Thanks for posting...great memories great band
I LOVED THE DC5 !! GOT ALL THEIR ALBUMS !!
In an interview I read some years ago, with Paul McCartney, he stated that the only band around that time (1963-65) that they had any real concern about knocking them (The Beatles) out of the Top 10 chart position, was the Dave Clark 5. Back then, The Beatles, as with all the other “British Invasion” bands, had just one goal - to make as many commercial radio hits as possible, that would reach as high and remain as long in the top 10 on the charts, as possible. Even though The Beatles were the “perfect storm” of creative talent coming together as a group, which certainly eventually made them stand head and shoulders above the others, and musically define the 1960’s, back in those early 1960’s years The Dave Clark definitely gave The Beatles a run for their money, and legitimate cause for losing chart domination concern, as attested to by the number of chart topping hits the DC5 had during 1963-65: Beatles-16; Dave Clark Five-12; (Rolling Stones only 6). The DC5 didn’t evolve and grow musically, as the The Beatles and Stones did, but for what the DC5 produced and how frequently they charted during the early 1960’s, they were definitely a powerhouse group that recorded a lot of great catchy and danceable music, in sort of a Garage Band style of the time. I played in a Rock dance band from 1963-‘66, mostly in teenage nightclubs and other teen venues, and requests for DC5 songs were always in top demand by the attendees.
That's my opinion too.
They were fantastic
“Any Way You Want It” was the first 45 I bought as a teenager. Many great songs from a time of so many others!
The band that we're unjustified as being a 'copy' of The Beatles... These guys we're DYNAMITE
@@thekitowl Ever hear of the Wrecking Crew. Just about every top song was done by them from 1963-75.
@@donwilliams3078 big fan of their work.
Did you know that the Beatles heard and copied the DC5 BEFORE the DC5 ever heard of the Beatles? It's true! In their first recording session with George Martin, Martin wanted them to record the song "How Do You Do It". He played a demo recording of the song to them so that they could record it. Guess who recorded that demo record.
@@bjbell52 Gerry and the Pacemakers
ABSOLUTELY ❤❤
They were such great, fun times!
Excellent Quality filming... sharp, crisp and clear. The Sound Quality is Phenomenal!
The Dave Clark Five were the greatest back then next to the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Elvis.
They dress clean cut better than todays rock groups.
Todays rock groups look like bums with tattoos, rings in their nose, ears. ripped holes in their jeans etc.
What happen to the clean cut look... down the toilet!
It’s easy to sound great when it’s lip synced .
@@Dougdenslowe714 I know people that saw them live and said they were very good. BTW - a number of groups lip synced.
Please don't forget to mention Roy Orbison in this time period. I think that he matched Elvis by his singer/songwriter ability, but that's only a matter of the American music and doesn't really have to do with the great British development in the Sixties, the greatest time for popular music after my humble opinion. Call it Rock'n'Roll, Beat or Rock. It was the best time for me and many like-minded dedicated followers of fashion, how the awesome Kinks used to sing.
So great , session musicians were called in to record the hits.
The British groups loved the fabulous Roy Orbison--one in a lifetime voice!
i am 74 and I remember the DC5 very well they were. greatI saw them live somewhere on long island
It would be nice to see and hear them ACTUALLY PLAY LIVE!!!
Yep !!! Can’t believe anyone thinks this is live !!
Did they ever REALLY play live?
I think they lip synched everything
No one did
Ronn Ryan. I was a Beatle fan first and foremost. DC5 was my 2nd fave. So many great songs. 18 performances on Ed Sullivan. Never heard them live. No one did. Dave was the ultimate stage mother. Controlled everything. Cheated Ronn Ryan the song writer of such greats as Because out of his writing credits. But yes, great studio recordings. And Mike Smith greatest Rock N Roll vocalist 2nd only to John and Paul. Thanks for sharing this clip. Jim Ringo Martin
My first ever concert was to see The Dave Clark Five at the Birmingham Hippodrome with my Aunty. I was young and I couldn't hear anything but the girls screaming. Was a magical night.
Always a great group, great sound. ♥️👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Mike Smith was a Fabulous Singer!
love this so much ,thanks so much

Still a blast to see! Best print version I’ve seen! More please!!!
NOT A SINGLE LIVE PERFORMANCE IS AVAILABLE> I'M BEGINNING TO THINK THIS BAND NEVER PERFORMED LIVE.
Wow this was my life during the 60’s.
Dave Clark 5’s Mike Smith was a very strong voice, Dave was a rockin’ good drummer and Master manager! That sound is still easily rrcognized by those who lived that Sixties sound! Catch Me, Bits and Pieces, every song hit high on charts, right up there with the great Kinks, Zombies, Roy Orbison, Beach Boys, The Ventures, Shadows (England), Stones and yes, the Unbelievable Beatles!
Dave did not play drums on their recordings. They were played by a studio musician while Dave was up in the booth supervising.
Studio drummer, Bobby Graham, played on most of their early records
My next favorite band to The Beatles,great music,and great fun!
Great pop sound.
But they are miming here.
@@clarkewi yes where - are there any - live DAVE CLARK FIVE - onstage shows that were actually filmed ?
I really enjoyed their music
