Heart broken to hear of Dino's passing. Such a gifted & amazing drummer & person. Just watching him on this performance U can see he's unbeatable. Slam those drums in heaven, Dinoooo! RIP, lovely man.
There's a Documentary about a Drummer Named Randy Castillo ( Who was Ozzy Osbourne's Drummer ) and in The Doc an ex Bandmate of Randy's tell's of how much of an Inspiration Dino was to Randy's playing style and Presence. R.I.P. Dino Danelli and Randy Castillo !! 🙏🙏
In 1966 I met Dino and the Rascals. Dino and I were talking about the song Mickey's Monkey. I showed him ( one his kit ) how I would play it. I was 16 . He quickly adapted my version and the rest is history.
Feel like I've just finished my homework so I can watch Ed Sullivan before bed! They were one of the best groups of my teenage years! Dino you will be missed.
Yes Dino will definitely be missed. I’ve followed him since his Rascals days, thru Bulldog, Fotomaker and Little Steven. He was such a huge talent and a true showman.
I saw the Young Rascals when they played in Charlottesville, Virginia in the early 1970's and clearly remember Dino Danelli throwing his drumsticks about 30 feet straight upward and without looking catching them when they fell and didn't miss a beat.
I remember seeing a cute picture of Dino and Keith Moon sitting together at a function back in the 1960's. The pic was in Hit Parade Magazine. Two of my favorite drummers !
I was very fortunate to see the Rascals many, many times in the 60’s when they were at their peak. They were MY band and still are!!! Just so sad about sweet Dino, he was such a force. And Felix, at 80 years old, is still out there doing it, and he still sounds as strong, soulful and incredible as he did all those years ago. The Rascals truly are legendary!!!!
O-M-G Dino and Felix were on FIRE here. Two amazing and incredible talents! This band was the soundtrack of the 60’s and Felix and Eddie wrote some of the best songs ever. I’ve loved the Rascals for 55 years.
One of the greatest groups of the sixties .Dino Danelli a fantastic drummer passed away today December 15, 2022. RIP Evangelist ROGER former Leslie West Vagrants Drummer
Felix says it all: DINO WE LOVE YOU....as Dino closes it out with another great Copa finish. What a live band; what a drummer. I watch these Ed Sullivan clips whenever I want to get happy.
Dino Danelli... America's controlled version of Keith Moon... barely. These cats were outasite. My first semester at UNC the first two weekends in October, featured The Young Rascals and Smokey Robinson and the Miracles... 1967. At that time, Chapel Hill was like when, "in The Wizard of Oz", the movie went from black&white to color. How about Steve VanZant's introducing them into The Rock&Roll Hall of Fame...
Sounds like there was audio feedback issues as Eddie/Gene sang the background "Lum de lum de lie" late/out of sequence. Nobody generated more excitement in live concert than The Rascals. Dino was superb!!!
In my old age it took You Tube to really appreciate the greatness of this band . Of course I knew the singles . Groovin and It’s A Beautiful Morning always cheered my pre teen self up if I had a downer day but I never had seen this live . Some of my Northern friends said that they really put on a show back in the day . You can also see our spiritual godfather loved this performance
The Rascals were such a force in the ‘60’s. I don’t much like being old, but one of the perks was getting to experience this fantastic talented group of men in their heyday. Saw them many, many times back then and it’s an experience I wouldn’t trade for anything. Just saw Felix 4 years ago on a cruise and he’s still got it. Just as good, if not better than when he was in his 20’s. I have mad respect for that man. Have always LOVED the Rascals!!!! RIP sweet Dino Danelli- you were such an incredible drummer!!!!
@@shelleyfiorini-ue3wr I saw them in '68 in Honolulu & waited another 55 yrs to see Felix & Gene in Honolulu again in Jan. 2023! And U R so right...Felix still has that soulful groove goin' on & is so full of energy. They put on a FANTASTIC show that I'll never 4get. Aloha.
Just saw the unedited version of this performance w/ Eddie singing "love lights". Totally awesome!!! Rascals always bring their live appearances to a super high level.
IMHO, they were actually BETTER live! 4 hugely talented individuals who came together to create magic. Felix snd Dino are especially exciting to watch. I’ve loved the Rascals since 1967.
I loved Dino way back when I was a kid. I had the same set of Ludwig drums and the same finish. Back then it was called Pink Champagne!! Hearing their music is like breathing a breath of fresh air!! It still works for me!!!!🙏❤️🥁
I was born in January 1967 what a wonderful time back then. The Rascals had soul and get you moving in this song. Eddie is a really good dancer! Had to watch this video again.
Felix throws in there "a man named Eddie doin' that monkey..." Can't you just picture Sullivan offstage shakin' a tail feather to the Rascals? I can't.
I saw The Rascals in 1987 in San Carlos, CA. without Felix but they still gave a memorable show. "How Can I Be Sure?", "Beautiful Morning" and "Groovin'" are my favorites by them.
@@tinpanalley5856 Neat that Felix was at your show. Not sure why he was not at my show. There was a Black guy taking his place who had a really good voice (not sure who he was) but NO ONE could really replace Felix.
Gene said in his book they played "Lonely too long" then Sullivan told them they had an extra 3 minutes so they ran back out and played Mickeys monkey and Love light, I wonder if this is it. He did say him and Eddie were doing James Brown moves, but damn they kicked ass
@@drumsport - Oh wow I missed that, so it must have been some other show then. Anyway in his book Gene said that was the highlight of his time playing with the Rascals, he said the audience went utterly crazy, they were such a kick ass tight band
@@georgiethumbs2438 Just finished Gene's book. Was sad to read how the inner feuds mostly instigated by Felix destroyed one hell of a band. Of course, this is only one side of the story. I also can't believe Gene released a book where he states, in so many words, that he was most proud of cleaning himself up for his girlfriend, perhaps inadvertently forgetting how he dragged his mother threw one bedroom apartments and both of them sleeping in an art studio by night. At least that's the way it came out to me. Otherwise a very interesting book and an easy read. Dino's attitude surprised me as well.
To answer some questions asked below: Ed's Intro here was tacked onto this Song. His words were for when they DID Open that same Show w/ "Lonely Too Long" and "Come On Up". "Love Lights" was edited out of this (rather shoddily!!!) because of Copyright Issues. "drumsport" mentioned Eddie's and Gene's out-of-sync BG Vocals. See how Gene is always looking around; mainly at Felix?? Felix f**ked-up and started his Vocal too EARLY. Gene (and Dino) noticed that; but, see Dino then laugh (1:07) when he and Gene could read Felix's Lips and see where he was at. That COULD have been disastrous!!! Great Song, nonetheless!!!
Were all of these edits done for TH-cam, or for the reissue of the Ed Sullivan Show. I'd kill to see the original version of this, especially since Gene considers this their greatest live performance ever.
Added to the confusion, I'm sure, was the inability of them to hear each other properly on the live tv set. But, the pros they were, they recovered nicely.
Gene also broke a guitar string at the onset of this too per his book. He looks at the guitar and looks around. Love this! All of them and Dino more💗⚘️🙏🏻👏🏻
I think Felix did a pretty darned good job with the B-3 bass pedals though. Felix is impressive to watch-not only is he an amazing singer, watching him play that Hammond is magical. It can’t be easy to play AND sing and he does both so masterfully. Truly one of the best bands of the ‘60’s.
@@shelleyfiorini-ue3wranytime I hear a band with a B3 Hammond of course instantly you know it but it is so full and such a rich background it enhances that song like no other instrument it's such a wall also great if you're not carrying a second guitar player when you're soloing You don't have that empty void to fill.
I first thought maybe it was my memory was bad, but yeah , the vocal timing / phrasing is just a bit off . I think Felix came in singing a little sooner than usual on this tune . But they’re still just phenomenal! Nobody could ever touch DINO , one of the best rock drummers EVER!
You should hear Dino play the bass guitar!! It really is ridiculous how close they resemble each other. I love Dino from the first time I saw him playing his drums. My first real good set of drums were the ludwigs and they were the Pink Champagne as they called it in those days!! I never and I do mean never thought the band or Dino were underrated. He did what he did in the traditional grip!! I think he was probably loved more than he ever knew.🙏❤️🥁
February 1967, huh. So this was after The Beatles released Revolver, but three or four months before Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. And The Rascals are just tearin' it up. And it's 14 to 16 months before Martin Luther King, Jr. and then Robert Kennedy were assassinated, after which The Young Rascals became The Rascals, and their songs became much more political. Damn. All four of them are goin' crazy here. If you can think of another band that was rippin' it up like that in 1967, I'd like to hear about it. Blood, Sweat, and Tears with Al Kooper? I don't think so. The Paul Butterfield Blues Band with Mike Bloomfield? Sorry, but no. Tearing. It. Up. Ed Sullivan is obviously thrown at the end. He's stunned. And the audience is screaming their heads off. Amazing work.
Great band, probably the best pop band in the world at one time, imho. BTW, too bad in todays PC world they wouldn't be able to play Smokey's song because of the word Monkey.
Not sure about the PC comment, though there's too much PC all the way around today, but PC doesn't cure a lot of the disgusting stuff that gets recorded today. If Smokey did this song today, I doubt if it would raise any flack.
Eddie Brigati: Italian cheekbones, British teeth. Never quite figured out why he was in the Rascals - sure he could sing, but Felix could sing better and did. Was it just for stage presentation, that they needed somebody to jump around? That could have been a problem: Felix was stuck behind that B-3; neither he nor Gene had matinee-idol faces; and while Dino had the face and the energy level, HE was stuck behind the drums.
Listen to Eddie's vocal on How Can I Be Sure and get back to us. Dino was "stuck" behind the drums because he was an all time great. What a dumb comment. You sound like someone who wasn't even around back then casting a boy band for some stupid contemporary TV "talent" show.
JC : gr8 comments... couldn't have said it better! And people, remember that Eddie was partner in the song writing w/ Felix. Their live performances could not be beaten. Aloha.
Dino has to be ranked up there among the greatest drummers of all time.
R.I.P. Dino - we’ll never forget you.
As a young drummer in the '60's, to me Dino was the man!
They rehearsed for a week in an abandoned store right across the street from my house in LODI, NJ for this performance. I was 10yrs old.
Wow!
Cool! By Teterboro.
WOW! KILLER DRUMMER! KILLER!
Heart broken to hear of Dino's passing. Such a gifted & amazing drummer & person. Just watching him on this performance U can see he's unbeatable. Slam those drums in heaven, Dinoooo! RIP, lovely man.
So sad ,he was amazing RIP
Dude was one of the best

Me too.
It’s hard to grasp that Dino’s no longer with us, but his talent and impact will live on forever.
Dino on drums is perfection
Go watch a video of Gene Krupa and you'll see where those moves came from. Dino studied with Gene.
Loved his Yosemite Sam Drum kit...
@@edgarcook9607 Absolutely...but throw some Sonny Payne into the mix!
In 1966 I met Dino and the Rascals. Dino and I were talking about the song Mickey's Monkey. I showed him ( one his kit ) how I would play it. I was 16 . He quickly adapted my version and the rest is history.
RIP Dino ************* a real showman and a dynamite drummer.....
I saw The Young Rascals with Chicago in 68. I couldn't believe how great each band was. 👍😃
The 1963 Hit by SMOKEY & The Mighty MIRACLES !!!
For this song, nothing is like Smokey's voice and the Miracles/Motown version.
GOD BLESS DINO DANELLI!! greatest drummer ever! see ya in heaven bro,
Rest in Peace Dino.
Feel like I've just finished my homework so I can watch Ed Sullivan before bed! They were one of the best groups of my teenage years! Dino you will be missed.
Yes Dino will definitely be missed. I’ve followed him since his Rascals days, thru Bulldog, Fotomaker and Little Steven. He was such a huge talent and a true showman.
I literally have tears in my eyes everytime I see this, music was so freaking great back then!!
Amen 2 that!
You ain't lying Brother!!
Great music
Dino Danelli is the best rock drummer, The Rascals one of the best rock groups!
The best rock 'n' roll I ever heard live! 1965 Labor Day weekend at The Barge in East Quogue and yes, Dino was the show!
I saw the Young Rascals when they played in Charlottesville, Virginia in the early 1970's and clearly remember Dino Danelli throwing his drumsticks about 30 feet straight upward and without looking catching them when they fell and didn't miss a beat.
Dino.. could out drum anyone . With chops. charisma, and skill. Not one rock drummer these days or anydays can match him . And so damn handsome .
Amen!
YES
Yes!
Drummer Dino Danelli looks almost like Paul McCartney's doppelganger (0:19). Yeah, it's part the haircut, but, he really does.
I remember seeing a cute picture of Dino and Keith Moon sitting together at a function back in the 1960's. The pic was in Hit Parade Magazine. Two of my favorite drummers !
Great band. Underappreciated then and now.
LOVE watching Eddie dance! He was one of the very best dancers!!
Totally agree w/ya. Luv Eddie & happy birthday 2 him!
Gene was moving his feet on this one too .
They were all amazing!
He was like in the zone.
I was 17. My first concert back in maybe 1968/9 was the Young Rascals in Asbury Park. Top shelf.
Dino Danelli one the best drummers of all time RIP🥁
These are some of the best lyrics that I've ever heard!
The drummer was a BADD man REST IN PEACE DINO !!!
I was very fortunate to see the Rascals many, many times in the 60’s when they were at their peak. They were MY band and still are!!! Just so sad about sweet Dino, he was such a force.

The soul of the group, Eddy Brigatti.
that was crazy , what energy , rip dino danelli , i never knew you were that great til now when it's (sorta) too late
Dino was amazing!!! Never get tired of watching him. He’s a show all to himself!!!🔥

Gr8 comment ever!
Dynamic Danelli !!! 🌟🌟🌟💖
Ha Ha. As a drummer, I really appreciate your comment. Ha Ha. Brilliant analogy!!!
I was born in 1967 and I just dig this big time! 🤙
Any time I need a little pick me up, I watch this
Dynamite performance! One of my favorites!
Damn, band & audience was feelin' that song

Great post!
I agree..dynamite performance. High energy & unreal vocals by soul man Felix! Luv the Rascals 4ever. Thanx 4 the video! Brings so much joy.
Eddie dancing and Dinos drumming was rocking in 1967
Totally Underrated! That was Amazing!
Along with Don Brewer my favourite ever drummer, I will miss you forever,thank God for video
In future years, Smokey Robinson admitted that "Cruisin" his first major Solo Pop Hit was inspired by Groovin.
Sounds like there was audio feedback issues as Eddie/Gene sang the background "Lum de lum de lie" late/out of sequence. Nobody generated more excitement in live concert than The Rascals. Dino was superb!!!
see my comment above.
I was feeling quite blue till watching this and boy did it yank me out of that funk! Thank you to The Young Rascals!
Same here. Can't stay in that blue funk after watching this!
Dino was head and shoulders above other rock drummers of the era. I never quite got why they had the tambourine guy but they still killed it.
Another clip I'm watching because of Gene's book....rock on, boys....you got it...
R.I.P. Dino.
RIP Dino!

First, there was Ringo, then came Dino showcasing two different styles on the drums and both brilliant.

Looks to me like Felix might've come in to soon which might've thrown Eddie off.
Felix began singing one bar too early which threw Eddie and Gene off

Great performance by the best live band. Too bad Eddie's vocal on Lovelight was removed from the middle of the jam. That really rocked!
