David Diamond literally brought me here!! It's so cool to see these guys as young men, especially Mister Zero!! He REALLY got all spiffed-up for this performance, from cutting and neatly styling his hair to actually wearing a jacket & tie!! WOW!! I bet that never happened again!! 😆 I love it!! Awesome clip!!
@@SmallSoldier Well it's probably the rights holders for Dick Clark Productions and ABC TV. The catalog is certainly vast but they don't seem to want to release to the public. We have a copy of our performance but the contract says we can use 60 seconds of it and that's what we did.
Fender Precision Bass with DiMarzio pickups. At the time, DiMarzio's P-Bass pickups were white, probably to distinguish them from the stock Fender ones.
I asked that on their Fbook page and they said that Dick Clark Prod owns it and won't let it go. Maybe one day. I sure hope so anyway. I hate the idea that something so cool is sitting in a locker in cinderblock building in the US somewhere. Everything about that is wrong.
We have the whole thing fordprefectiii, but part of the deal was to only use about a minute in our video and we've stuck to that agreement. It's great though.
Thanks for posting! ❤

Z wore suits at most gigs back then Bob, and still mostly wears a jacket but no tie...
I just found this interview with The Kings, & I absolutely loved it!!! Much Thanks :-)
Fun for sure Gail!
First time to see this one. So much fun. So cool. Those were the days.
The best thing to come out of CAN-A-DA. GREAT BAND.
Love ❤️ the Kings
Still waiting for Zero and Dave to swing by in the Mercedes
Interview with Mister Dick Clark, And The Kings
This is GOLD
GOLD Jerry!.... er, John!
Just found this as well. Nice to see the original interview. Is there an original full version of this song on American Band Stand?
No permission given by the owners SSaim...
@@thekingsarehere That’s tragic! What’s wrong with some of these organizations.🙄

@@thekingsarehere That seems really lame and a shame as it’s musical history and should be shared!
@@SmallSoldier Agreed especially because we kicked some serious ass!
Awesome! (Mike T)
Cool
Wonder why there's no video of you guys playing on the show. 😞
They haven't given permission TR...

What kind of bass is Dave playing? Those pickups look aftermarket?
Fender Precision Bass with DiMarzio pickups. At the time, DiMarzio's P-Bass pickups were white, probably to distinguish them from the stock Fender ones.
any chance of seeing the actual performance?

@@vantagestudios yeah, they don't have to be Dicks about it. What is the point anyway?

No the whole thing, but snippets mixed with other concerts , and you've got the after part here, the intro in the one I linked.

I had a bunch of fun making this lyric visualization for the song. Enjoy 🙂
