Born in 1951 i grew up on the British Invasion and all the American music with it. I never missed any of these shows. Im 72 now and still love this music
Same.... I'm 70... sooo Grateful to still go out dancing to these Wonderful 🎵 songs ! My cousin is the famous ( in the business), Brooks Jones, deceased, he produced HULLABALOO. originally from Jackson, Ohio. Little known FACTS. BE WELL, ENJOY! PEACE TO ALL ! ❤♾️🎵🌎☮️
One thing I can tell you we had the best cartoons in the '60s cuz 60s were my elementary year in the 70s came when I was 11 so I seen The Beatles from Kennedy to The Beatles to the 70s to David Bowie I forgot the Beatles first
I heard the Beatles back in 63 I was 7 years old and I had a radio in my hand and then the Beatles came on and that's when I remember I said I like this group this is my favorite group from here on out sure enough The Beatles at that time their music was different it sounded good the harmony everything about it was excellent and they did come at the right time because I remember plume before that the sadness the whole nation was when Kennedy got shot we didn't go to school for about a month but when the Beatles came everybody seemed to forget it
I’m 74 grew up with this music.Best music ever what a great time to have lived in.SURE BRINGS BACK MEMORIES .I have been blessed.Thanks for the memories.
@@jucadvgv3449 Jeff Beck of the great Yardbirds was not laughing too hard and enjoying himself. All he could think about was future experimental music to bore our souls with, just as Clapton couldn't wait to play "Lay Down Sally" and I Shot the Sheriff.
Back in the days. Shindig was one of the shows that displayed all this great tallent. I watched it every week. I'm old now. In a way, I miss those times... Thanks for this

I loved the majority of the British bands that hit our shores way back then. I was only 13 when I first saw the Beatles on Ed's show in 64 and that event led to my lifelong love affair with the guitar and rock music. 60 years later I'm still playing as often as I can. I gave several of my guitars and amps to my son and grandson, and they are getting quite good. Freddie and the Dreamers were a f****n joke. His crazy antics quickly grew old and me and my friends hated him and his band. Our parents and other older folks hated our music. It was the Devil's music and was going to cause the downfall of civilization they complained. They used Freddies band as an example of how rock music was going to rot our fragile teen minds. Thank goodness there weren't many goofy bands like Freddies. I would like to say-Long live rock and roll, but sadly, I can't do that. The rock that my generation so loved for so long died many years ago. I'd rather jam out to ten hours of elevator music than to be forced to attend a Katy Perry or Taylor Swift concert. The only Swifty I want any part of is the excellent-Swifter PowerMop. Excellent mop, but I doubt if my Swifty Power Mop can clean the sh*t and stink Taylor and Katy leave after one of their concerts. Now, Adele-that lady is truly talented. I hope she quits smoking because she has a sweet, heavenly voice. I'm rolling in the deep with my admiration for her. See what I did there, kids? Later, 🐊

Songs like Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Cryin’ evoked my emotions at the tender age of 11 putting tears in my eyes just as Puff the Magic Dragon did before this song. Gerry Marsden looked so young here. He just passed away in 2021-RIP
Listen the lyrics to Don’t Let The Sun Catch You Cryin’…..if you’re not crying by he time it’s over…..get an immediate check-up…..you might be dead!! 🥲
@@KaryShort-wi7kv If you like Gerry, Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Cryin’ is a real tear jerker….trying to cheer up his broken hearted friend…….nobody writes songs like this anymore……I’m fine until the oboe comes in, then I lose it……every damn time 🫶🏼
If I could give this 2 thumbs up I would. From a young kid who was 14 in 1965 in Sydney Australia. 👍👍. Love to all who know the words to all these songs ❤❤
When I heard "catch us if you can" I was transported back to 1965. This song, for some reason I can't explain, takes me back to a wonderful time. As an 11 year old, me my brothers and sisters laying on the floor and watching bands like this on a small B&W tv with Mom and Dad. Now for a brief moment, mom and dad are still living, but only in my memory... that's why I love this.
i was also laying on the floor when the beatles played shea stadium. when paul's bass came in at the start of "dizzy miss lizzy" it was like holy CRAP- they ARE a real rock and roll band!
I know what you mean. You don't realize until much later how young your parents were at that time. Mom was so fun, she'd go dancing through our bedroom with her dish towel to whatever Beatles song was playing. She liked this group called The Newbeats and would watch the Lloyd Thaxton (afternoon music and dance) show with us. Dad bought me my first album which was Hard Day's Night. It was a very happy time.
I turned 10 yr old in 1965 all this music shaped my life starting in about 1963 then seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan in 1964 stepped it up to high degree. Continuing by watching all these great shows on TV and during the day my transistor radio stuck to my ear.The 60s and early 70s are still my favorite era!
REAL talent LIVE ! No special effects, explosions, engineered voices. The talent was PRIORITY ! ALL musically talented. Not just talking and rhyming. No filth !
Wow, a '60s show that actually trusted the bands to play live rather than to a backing track. Jeff Beck's improvizations at the end of "I'm a Man" show he was already pushing the envelope of what a guitar could sound like from the beginning of his career.
If you want the actual lyrics to the song, do a TH-cam search for "Louie Louie by Richard Berry". The original was released in 1957. The live Kingsmen version of the song seems to have some distortion in the vocal, giving way to allegedly hearing dirty words in the song.
@Joan In Florida I Hullabaloo too. In LA we had some great local shows like American Bandstand that featured local kids dancing to the hits of the day. The best one was Soul Train in the early 70's with legendary host Don Cornelius - mainly Black, Latino and Asian couples in their early twenties. Phenomenal dancers some of whom were regulars for years. Some of them were also talented clothes designers who made outrageous costumes for the dancers. There are many on TH-cam. Check em out. Peace.
The thing is, (in contrast with top bands like The Beatles or Stones) that they were thrown to the US garage scene (since the Americans wanted to "stop" the invaders coming from the UK, in favour of local bands) , so they did develop a huge solid live sound rather say easily from their standards in beat music, they evolved to a more punch punk sound mid 60s, just as their friends The Kinks... but people missed it bc they also were forced to be commercially ad hoc for the charts. What a shame, a top band if you ask me.
@@KieroUnasBotasAGoGo hI! You just like me like the Hollies songs. Can you tell me who is the original singer (man or woman) of the song "Look at Life" bc I've reaserched everywhere and nobody says the name of the real singer. We also don't find the Hollies video for that song! Thank you! Gracias!🌹
@@ramashaktioh, *"Look At Life"* (?) the one song included n the *"Hollies Sing Hollies"* album(?) lead singer to that song is Tony Hicks 😊 a song written by Terry Sylvester and Allan Clarke
We mostly bought 45’s growing up instead of albums but The Righteous Bros. were so good you had to find a way to get their albums just like we did w/The Beatles.
I loved the shindig show . Never missed a show. I also loved where the action is. American bandstand and the Ed Sullivan show every Sunday night. Does anyone remember these.
That Les Paul John Sebastian was playing (31:08), it's next owner was Rick Derringer. It's next owner was Eric Clapton. It's next owner was George Harrison.
⬆️🎸Absolutely Supersonic Heritage on that one. George’s kid Dhani probably has it now buried somewhere in Crackerbox Palace….hopefully climate controlled. Had my eye on that one heavy early LP in the video after Sebastian put the autoharp down. Zal had a short run Guild I believe…, Later on there’s Jeff chasing sound on that Esquire…. I believe it’s the beater one on display in the Cleveland ’Clinic’ for Rock Fame.
I saw the Beach Boys in concert in Washington DC about 1965 or 1966 I think it was. When they all wore white pants and short sleeve striped shirts. I was 13 or 14 years old. Wonderful.
@@timmotel5804 Got to see the original Beach Boys in concert at 3 River Stadium in Pittsburg around 1979 or 1980. They also wore their uniform white pants & striped shirts there & were lead in by Gary can't think of his last name but he did Dreamweaver & Peter Frampton. It was a summer concert & everyone was great !!
This was such trip! Watched every show like this back in the 60’s. Seeing the Stones and the Yardbirds at the end defined my 1965 12 year old kid future for love of blues based rock.
Desertcat: I think we're clones.....I'm in southern Arizona and am 67. Sounds like we're cut from the same cloth, anyways. I NEVER missed an episode. Man....we had fantastic rock n' roll coming at us from every angle for many years....beginning with the "British Invasion". All these bands had serious chops.....no fake singing, no fake licks, and they ALL could stand up and belt out the ROCK. Lord knows I miss that aspect of those days. God Bless us all. jbeinarizona
@@joelewing4498 Ha, if not clones, then cousins. Yes, we were so lucky to have wave after wave of music that has never gotten old...to me, anyway. Rock, blues and metal has stayed with me all of these 68 years and will continue to do so. Bless the invention of headphones (at least the neighbors would say that). Blessings to you, too.
Well that was fun. I credit the Yardbirds with creating psychedelic music. I know what year this was. 1965. A very bittersweet year for me. I was 10-11 years old, and my family had one relentlessly hellish year. One year when all hell was breaking loose every way imaginable. My family and I like to refer to it as the year of disaster. But music pulled me through all of it
I was also 14 in 65, and as a young man who'd only begun learning to play guitar after seeing The Beatles on Ed's show in February of 64, I watched anything that aired featuring rock music. I, too, loved Dark Shadows. But, please tell me how you were able to watch Dark Shadows in 1965 when it didn't premier until June 27, 1966? Now that is some spooky sh*t, homie...
I only wish that they had male dancers on shindig just like the action kids on' "where the action is"'daily Rock and roll show by Dick Clark. those action kids were really cool to watch while they traveled around the country.
I remember watching Shindig every Tuesdays Friday nights loved the show. Watching this brings back memories for me as a teenage girl in the mid sixties thanks so much for sharing the video.
Know what gets me? How " fit" we were. So thin, so much better than today. Real food vs fast food shit. So glad I'm able to have kept my weight down. Went thru the hippy era, peace movement. Didn't get drafted on either war (tho I did join the Army) and for the love of God, I'm still here and very proud to say I am a true christian. All glory to God and our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
@@lisaparsons4124 Yes Lisa. It was many 1964 and our band was doing the gig . When we were done she and her date came up and just started talking to us . We must have visited for about 30 minutes and then they had to go. Her date said oh by the way this is Leslie Gore and the four of us were just blown away. She was so nice and down to earth. It was a very cool experience. And she was real cool lady . I liked her a lot . And I’ve had that memory all these years .
I had the absolute privilege of seeing Leslie Gore a few years before her death in a little venue in Seattle. Still as good then as she'd been back 'in the day'. Great singer and spokesperson for the LGBTQ+ community.
Best quality video of the Yardbirds and Hollies on Shindig that I've seen on the TH-cam. First time I've seen Hollies doing "Just One Look" on Shindig - wonderful!
When I was in the 7th grade , just after my 13th birthday, the FBI came to my school and demanded that my band tell them the " dirty lyrics to 'Louie Louie' . We played it for them and then told them there are no 'dirty words anywhere in the song on the song we recited them and said them like they're sung. They did not believe us. We explained that were written to sound Jamaican. Example; ' " Me see Jamaican moon above . ." and that the singer slightly slurs the words as Fats Domino recommended, he said " you should never sing the words too clearly ". They still wouldn't believe us. I wonder if anyone at the FBI ever put the record through the thing that filters out the other sounds in a much later decade to once and for all solve this non-mystery. Hope they can sleep better. This is one of my favorite memories of that time among countless others. Maybe they can make my smart phone quit being so dumb!
Sorry for the typo. My dumb phone made me spell Yardbirds as two words. I finally made it with quit by typing in Yardbirds and putting it in the dictionary on my phone
@@christopherrich7107 I can tell you. They are ; A fine little girl she wait for me I catch a ship across the sea.bU sail that ship all alone I wonder if I'll ever make it home Louie Louie oh no . . . Three nights and days I sail the sea Think of girl constantly I sail that ship all alone I wonder if I'll ever make it home. Louie Louie oh no . . . Me say Jamaica moon above, ground It won't be long, won't be long Take her my arms and then I tell her I'll never leave again. Louie Louie oh no me gotta go Yi yi yi Louie Louie oh baby me gotta go, me gotta go now said me gotta go now Let's go . Next time you hear the record read along with it and you'll hear them easily. That is if you're not the FBI
A lot of ’B’ sides and straight up bubble gum music. I remember watching these shows with sub-three minute songs made for AM radio. This was the threshold of harder rock, psychedelic rock, long hair, albums, and hippies. So much of this was real crap, but a few gold nuggets were included. If I remember correctly, Shindig was the least cool of all the corny shows like this. I grew up around the music industry, lived in the Hollywood Hills around songwriters and artists. My parents were in the business, my best friends dad was a producer (they had the biggest album and record collection I’ve ever seen). We heard a lot of this stuff before it was on the radio or TV. Amazing to see this stuff again, great memories. Thanks for sharing.
Never missed this show and the other show where the action is loved all this music I grew up in all this music. I’m 68 years old and I have a lot of this music on my phone.
No one mentioned the Four Tops Levi Stubb's so great and wonderful! Like many love the Hollies, the Turtles, the DC 5, the Supremes, & Lovin Spoonful( a spoonful of sugar). Cher has seen do much she goes by on and on!!
I dig the Yardbirds!They had hits that were trippy and they had Clapton, then Beck and Page along with Kieth Reif. He was so cool looking with those shades! What a great group!
The Boomer soundtrack. Shindig and Hullabaloo were where we got our Brit Invasion and other 60s fix. Syndicated shows like Lloyd Thaxton were also the BEST for seeing the Kinks, Knickerbockers, James Brown, Grassroots, McCoys, Supremes etc. Most here were playing on top of a backing track w/exception of some like the Hollies. Beck was playing on top of I'm A Man record... DC5 NEVER played Live - always on top of recorded back - see the Ed Sullivan fail on TH-cam when tapes don't start. But - we can say for sure there is no Auto-tuned vocals or "samples" from other bands here!!! 100% Beef no synthetic filler! 🎸
8 years old in ‘65 but I was very much in tune with all this great music that emerged then due to my older brother indoctrinating me with his transistor radio and black and white television of course. Someone who will die for you and more, but it ain’t me babe. The Turtles! Loving the memories!
The riff during the chorus in Heart Full of Soul. Drums, bass & guitar all coming together. Name one other song anywhere that comes close to matching it. Anyone?......Anyone?...... JUST WOW!!!!
Wow-didn’t realize Little Saint Nick by The Beach Boys was that old of a song when the Brother drummer, Dennis, was still alive. This is one of the classic Christmas songs played during Christmastime every year.
Amazing production. I don’t think I appreciated how good it was at 13 years old. What’s really amazing is that they were all live performances - no lip-sync. And . . . Jeff Beck!! ❤️
I was born just days after the Beatles made their USA debut on television but I grew up on all these songs because of my four older siblings and I raised all four of my children on these great songs! I know almost every word to every song. Thanks for putting this together and sharing it with us!!
Got to thinking......I watched every episode of that show as a 10 yr. old in '65....mesmerized. I was truly a dedicated hard-rocker by that age.....and now at 67 in 2022....it ain't much different. DId anybody else watch this on a cheap old black and white TV with the 2 "rabbit ears" for antennas...complete with big shards of tin foil draped over them for the "best" reception possible? Down in Tucson Az. we HAD to.....living out in the middle of the desert away from town. But we managed to survive....didn't we? These poor kids today.....omg....I mean it. No clue at all.
The real star of the Hollies (at least in these videos) is the exciting rhythm section of Eric Haydock on bass and Bobby Elliott on drums. They are really smoking here.
1965 was the year I became absolutely smitten with music. I turned 13 in December of that year. We could only receive three channels on our tv: ABC, CBS and PBS. If I recall correctly Shindig was on ABC, Channel 13 with Hullaballo being broadcast on NBC, Channel 6 which we didn't receive. It's funny because I remember Bobby Sherman, Bobby Sherman and Bobby Sherman singing on Shindig and not so many of those shown here that were favorites of that time for me. Thank you.
My first music memories started in about 1960. What a difference three years makes. I was 7 when the British Invasion started. Still amazed how we went from two minute Beatles songs to Hendrix in such a short time. It was a lot of excitement and radio was still great too.
Born in 1951 i grew up on the British Invasion and all the American music with it. I never missed any of these shows. Im 72 now and still love this music
yep the era with the best music , hottest women , and coolest cars
I saw the Shindig tour show and it was great! It had a lot of the British groups

Shindig, Hullaballo, Midnight Special, American Bandstand....those were the days!
And we can't forget Ed Sullivan who, looking back, was surprisingly hip for an old guy.
Where The Action Is! Don Kirschner's Rock Concert. Soul Train.
I turned 69 today but this video reminded me that it was good to be alive back then.

Right there with ya. I was 9 in ‘65
Couldn’t have said it better, Mr. Webber. 🤟🏾
@@OGDeeHiggins cool, fab, bitchin!
@@aramboodakian9554 😂
what was your first fav song?
Yeah well , I was 13 in 1964 .
If you think about it , that was the best age to start the best 60's music . I feel very privileged.
Same age and I agree with your comment. Loved this time of my life also. Best music.
REAL talent LIVE ! No special effects, explosions, engineered voices. The talent was PRIORITY ! ALL musically talented. Not just talking and rhyming. No filth !
No glorified pole dancers pretending to be singers.
And here comes the "no autotune troll."
old people whing about contemporary music--just like your parents whined about yours
@@chrissygerwitz520 autotune was invented in 1997
Wow, a '60s show that actually trusted the bands to play live rather than to a backing track. Jeff Beck's improvizations at the end of "I'm a Man" show he was already pushing the envelope of what a guitar could sound like from the beginning of his career.
It’s an interesting mix of live and recorded stuff. I guess some bands didn’t want to risk it.
What a way to feel young again!!
Absolutely agree with you.
@@bpivrI NEVER saw The Dave Clark Five perform live on any TV show.
@@MsAppassionatanot a once...simultaneously suspicious and disappointing.
One of the black and white contrast is so extreme it's like watching rock and roll Noir style
Jeff Beck, RIP. One of the best guitar players ever.
Indeed he was!
I never notice before how important that piano is to "Ferry, Cross the Mersey."
Holy Cow…after all these years, I finally understand the words to “Louie, Louie”….thanks SHINDIG!
Will Drucker…they changed the words for T.V. …
A poor version here.
Lead singer just died
I just sent the link to my son, saying the same thing!
If you want the actual lyrics to the song, do a TH-cam search for "Louie Louie by Richard Berry". The original was released in 1957. The live Kingsmen version of the song seems to have some distortion in the vocal, giving way to allegedly hearing dirty words in the song.
The actress Teri Garr was one of the Go-Go girls on Shindig and Hullabaloo...Loved these shows as a young teenager.
Oh wow, I didn't know that. I would love to see the camera zoom in on Teri shakin' her booty.
You can also spot Toni Basil and Lorene Yarnell (of mime duo Shields & Yarnell) amongst the dancers.
She was also in the TAMI concert. You can clearly see her much of the time.
Father Guido Sarducci. It's been a long long time since I've seen him. Awesome !
@@noneyabusiness4006 Along with Maynard G. Krebs, he's one of my heroes.
I used to watch this show regularly as a kid of 13. I'm 71 now
Me too.......72.......we had great music and great bands brought right into our living rooms.......treasured times.......
Ditto, I’m 70. Best days of my life.
@Joan In Florida I Hullabaloo too. In LA we had some great local shows like American Bandstand that featured local kids dancing to the hits of the day. The best one was Soul Train in the early 70's with legendary host Don Cornelius - mainly Black, Latino and Asian couples in their early twenties. Phenomenal dancers some of whom were regulars for years. Some of them were also talented clothes designers who made outrageous costumes for the dancers. There are many on TH-cam. Check em out. Peace.
Wow, The Hollies were a legit killer live band!
The thing is, (in contrast with top bands like The Beatles or Stones) that they were thrown to the US garage scene (since the Americans wanted to "stop" the invaders coming from the UK, in favour of local bands) , so they did develop a huge solid live sound rather say easily from their standards in beat music, they evolved to a more punch punk sound mid 60s, just as their friends The Kinks... but people missed it bc they also were forced to be commercially ad hoc for the charts. What a shame, a top band if you ask me.
Great Harmony live by the Hollies.
@@KieroUnasBotasAGoGo hI! You just like me like the Hollies songs. Can you tell me who is the original singer (man or woman) of the song "Look at Life" bc I've reaserched everywhere and nobody says the name of the real singer. We also don't find the Hollies video for that song! Thank you! Gracias!🌹
@@ramashaktioh, *"Look At Life"* (?) the one song included n the *"Hollies Sing Hollies"* album(?) lead singer to that song is Tony Hicks 😊 a song written by Terry Sylvester and Allan Clarke
@@KieroUnasBotasAGoGo God bless you!!! I was researching many sites but none of them gives an answer! Thank you!
Thanks for posting this, so many memories brought a tear to my eye....helped by fair drop of whisky to be honest. love and peace
The Righteous Brothers had a great vocal blend, and Bill Medley's bass/baritone contrasted nicely with the late Bobby Hatfield's tenor vocals.
We mostly bought 45’s growing up instead of albums but The Righteous Bros. were so good you had to find a way to get their albums just like we did w/The Beatles.
To see Dave Clark 5, The Hollies, Yardbirds and Gerry and Pacemakers in an compilation is a beautifull opportunity to remember my 11 years !
Try and catch the wind. These were the days of poets, wordsmiths; true artists and musicians.
Now, repeating ad nauseum the f word (Lizzo) seems to be the height of creativity, yeah, yeah, yeah, right.
Shindig was way before my time but I still enjoy watching these great performers.!
Well it’s time it’s time it’s so time to dig Shindig!
I was born in the late 60's. Cool to finally see these segments.
absoluteley thanks to u tube i get to enjoy these gifts im a 50 year old American loving these musical gems
A great show indeed!! Loved the Hollies with good ole’ Graham Nash.
Graham is still playing!
I loved the shindig show .
Never missed a show.
I also loved where the action is.
American bandstand and the Ed Sullivan show every Sunday night.
Does anyone remember these.
Mike Love's head going up and down like that perfectly sums up his relationship with the rest of the band.
That Les Paul John Sebastian was playing (31:08), it's next owner was Rick Derringer. It's next owner was Eric Clapton. It's next owner was George Harrison.
⬆️🎸Absolutely Supersonic Heritage on that one. George’s kid Dhani probably has it now buried somewhere in Crackerbox Palace….hopefully climate controlled. Had my eye on that one heavy early LP in the video after Sebastian put the autoharp down. Zal had a short run Guild I believe…,
Later on there’s Jeff chasing sound on that Esquire…. I believe it’s the beater one on display in the Cleveland ’Clinic’ for Rock Fame.
Sharp eyes & good call on that one Michael….blue ribbon Gibson
Wow good info thanks! 👍
Warren, that was the First Les Paul I ever saw, and I WANTED one. It would take me 40 years, but it's over there in the case right now.
Either Eric or George had it re-finished.red. George called it "Lucy", after Lucille Ball.
Love Shindig & Hulabaloo.
Raced home every day after school to see Where The Action Is & Dark Shadows !
Me too.....
"The Hand!!" On Dark Shadows, best spooky thing on TV.
It's a treasure to see Brian Wilson so engaged on stage!
I saw the Beach Boys in concert in Washington DC about 1965 or 1966 I think it was. When they all wore white pants and short sleeve striped shirts. I was 13 or 14 years old. Wonderful.
@@timmotel5804 Got to see the original Beach Boys in concert at 3 River Stadium in Pittsburg around 1979 or 1980. They also wore their uniform white pants & striped shirts there & were lead in by Gary can't think of his last name but he did Dreamweaver & Peter Frampton. It was a summer concert & everyone was great !!
This was such trip! Watched every show like this back in the 60’s. Seeing the Stones and the Yardbirds at the end defined my 1965 12 year old kid future for love of blues based rock.
Desertcat: I think we're clones.....I'm in southern Arizona and am 67. Sounds like we're cut from the same cloth, anyways. I NEVER missed an episode. Man....we had fantastic rock n' roll coming at us from every angle for many years....beginning with the "British Invasion". All these bands had serious chops.....no fake singing, no fake licks, and they ALL could stand up and belt out the ROCK. Lord knows I miss that aspect of those days. God Bless us all. jbeinarizona
@@joelewing4498 Ha, if not clones, then cousins. Yes, we were so lucky to have wave after wave of music that has never gotten old...to me, anyway. Rock, blues and metal has stayed with me all of these 68 years and will continue to do so. Bless the invention of headphones (at least the neighbors would say that). Blessings to you, too.
Yes-luv The Animals for that reason as well; Blues incorporated in to the Rock.
Well that was fun. I credit the Yardbirds with creating psychedelic music. I know what year this was. 1965. A very bittersweet year for me. I was 10-11 years old, and my family had one relentlessly hellish year. One year when all hell was breaking loose every way imaginable. My family and I like to refer to it as the year of disaster. But music pulled me through all of it
Hollies, Yardbirds, Lovin' Spoonful....what's not to like.....
I was 14 in 65. Shindig and Dark Shadows were required watching.
Dark Shadows YES! Was so good! Or seemed to be. I wonder what we'd think now lol
I was also 14 in 65, and as a young man who'd only begun learning to play guitar after seeing The Beatles on Ed's show in February of 64, I watched anything that aired featuring rock music. I, too, loved Dark Shadows. But, please tell me how you were able to watch Dark Shadows in 1965 when it didn't premier until June 27, 1966? Now that is some spooky sh*t, homie...
Where the action is and Loyd Thaxton.
Loved Shindig. The Hollies. Graham Nash playing a Vox Phantom guitar. The chicks. What’s not to like?
That 12 string teardrop is in the hands of Tony Hicks.
Not sure that Graham's guitar is even plugged in...
Just One Look, Graham's playing a Danelectro.
I only wish that they had male dancers on shindig just like the action kids on' "where the action is"'daily Rock and roll show by Dick Clark. those action kids were really cool to watch while they traveled around the country.
Tonight Could be the Night
It's fun all these years later to see the Stones looking like they're not old enough to be away from home without their parents. =D
I remember watching Shindig every Tuesdays Friday nights loved the show. Watching this brings back memories for me as a teenage girl in the mid sixties thanks so much for sharing the video.
Know what gets me? How
" fit" we were. So thin, so much better than today. Real food vs fast food shit. So glad I'm able to have kept my weight down. Went thru the hippy era, peace movement. Didn't get drafted on either war (tho I did join the Army) and for the love of God, I'm still here and very proud to say I am a true christian. All glory to God and our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
I beg to differ. The 'hippy' era is now...
@@johnthomson83 just a crappier version
The 60s was alot of great songs,And Leslie Gore is a great singer,RIP💐
Met LG at a frat party at Tufts U . She was just as nice as could be. I liked her very much.

@@lisaparsons4124 Yes Lisa. It was many 1964 and our band was doing the gig . When we were done she and her date came up and just started talking to us . We must have visited for about 30 minutes and then they had to go. Her date said oh by the way this is Leslie Gore and the four of us were just blown away. She was so nice and down to earth. It was a very cool experience. And she was real cool lady . I liked her a lot . And I’ve had that memory all these years .
I had the absolute privilege of seeing Leslie Gore a few years before her death in a little venue in Seattle. Still as good then as she'd been back 'in the day'. Great singer and spokesperson for the LGBTQ+ community.

What an amazing time. These were actual shindigs! Hard to even believe the energy at that time.
You too huh ? I was in grade school but man I'd like to live it all over again .
Shure, although, when cocaine was in coca-cola, I do not find the energy too hard to believe. ;)
@@DoubleOBalls Cocaine was out of Coke by the 30's. This wasn't quite that old.

@@DoubleOBalls
You've got a warped sense of history. Coca-Cola hasn't had any cocaine in it for more than 90 years.
Best quality video of the Yardbirds and Hollies on Shindig that I've seen on the TH-cam. First time I've seen Hollies doing "Just One Look" on Shindig - wonderful!
and the Yardbirds were playing fully live on that track.
Listen to these straight through and it IS almost a trip back in time.
Watched these shows with our teenaged baby sitters , always loved the music.
Nice to hear "Louie, Louie" sung with intelligible lyrics!!
Perhaps one of the great mysteries of the 1960's solved here- what are lyrics to 'Louie, Louie'?!!!
The whole point of Louie Louie was the assumption that the lyrics were very naughty.
When I was in the 7th grade , just after my 13th birthday, the FBI came to my school and demanded that my band tell them the " dirty lyrics to 'Louie Louie' . We played it for them and then told them there are no 'dirty words anywhere in the song on the song we recited them and said them like they're sung. They did not believe us. We explained that were written to sound Jamaican. Example; ' " Me see Jamaican moon above . ." and that the singer slightly slurs the words as Fats Domino recommended, he said " you should never sing the words too clearly ". They still wouldn't believe us. I wonder if anyone at the FBI ever put the record through the thing that filters out the other sounds in a much later decade to once and for all solve this non-mystery. Hope they can sleep better. This is one of my favorite memories of that time among countless others. Maybe they can make my smart phone quit being so dumb!
Sorry for the typo. My dumb phone made me spell Yardbirds as two words. I finally made it with quit by typing in Yardbirds and putting it in the dictionary on my phone
@@christopherrich7107 I can tell you. They are ; A fine little girl she wait for me I catch a ship across the sea.bU sail that ship all alone I wonder if I'll ever make it home Louie Louie oh no . . . Three nights and days I sail the sea Think of girl constantly I sail that ship all alone I wonder if I'll ever make it home. Louie Louie oh no . . .

Louie Louie oh no me gotta go Yi yi yi Louie Louie oh baby me gotta go, me gotta go now said me gotta go now Let's go . Next time you hear the record read along with it and you'll hear them easily. That is if you're not the FBI
A lot of ’B’ sides and straight up bubble gum music. I remember watching these shows with sub-three minute songs made for AM radio. This was the threshold of harder rock, psychedelic rock, long hair, albums, and hippies.
So much of this was real crap, but a few gold nuggets were included.
If I remember correctly, Shindig was the least cool of all the corny shows like this. I grew up around the music industry, lived in the Hollywood Hills around songwriters and artists. My parents were in the business, my best friends dad was a producer (they had the biggest album and record collection I’ve ever seen). We heard a lot of this stuff before it was on the radio or TV.
Amazing to see this stuff again, great memories. Thanks for sharing.
Fabulous live version of a brilliant song - Ferry ‘Cross The Mersey. Thanks for that!
Never missed this show and the other show where the action is loved all this music I grew up in all this music. I’m 68 years old and I have a lot of this music on my phone.
No one mentioned the Four Tops Levi Stubb's so great and wonderful! Like many love the Hollies, the Turtles, the DC 5, the Supremes, & Lovin Spoonful( a spoonful of sugar). Cher has seen do much she goes by on and on!!
I dig the Yardbirds!They had hits that were trippy and they had Clapton, then Beck and Page along with Kieth Reif. He was so cool looking with those shades! What a great group!
The Boomer soundtrack. Shindig and Hullabaloo were where we got our Brit Invasion and other 60s fix. Syndicated shows like Lloyd Thaxton were also the BEST for seeing the Kinks, Knickerbockers, James Brown, Grassroots, McCoys, Supremes etc. Most here were playing on top of a backing track w/exception of some like the Hollies. Beck was playing on top of I'm A Man record... DC5 NEVER played Live - always on top of recorded back - see the Ed Sullivan fail on TH-cam when tapes don't start. But - we can say for sure there is no Auto-tuned vocals or "samples" from other bands here!!! 100% Beef no synthetic filler! 🎸
I really loved Donovan back then. Gerry & the Pacemakers...takes me back.In '66 I was in London and it was an amazing time.
That was always a dream of mine-going to England as in Liverpool & London.
The righteous Brothers add a lot to the show
Yep, I remember it all. Drinking beer, discovering the ladies; had a ‘65 GTO, then a ‘66 427 Corvette. Then we had that damn war.
❤
@@monicadonnelly4991 Thank you, girl.. it was a great time.
Wow... watching a young Nigel Tufnel close out the video and change the world with that solo!!
OMG! This takes me back big time! Especially the Hollies! Loved this band and still do!!
8 years old in ‘65 but I was very much in tune with all this great music that emerged then due to my older brother indoctrinating me with his transistor radio and black and white television of course. Someone who will die for you and more, but it ain’t me babe. The Turtles! Loving the memories!
The Supremes were show-stoppers!! Love em!! 👏👏👏
I grew up in Detroit. The Supremes were a hometown group.
The riff during the chorus in Heart Full of Soul. Drums, bass & guitar all coming together. Name one other song anywhere that comes close to matching it. Anyone?......Anyone?...... JUST WOW!!!!
OMG! The Yardbirds RULE!
Oh, yes indeed!
Was für wunderbare Raritäten aus meiner Jugendzeit!
Wow-didn’t realize Little Saint Nick by The Beach Boys was that old of a song when the Brother drummer, Dennis, was still alive. This is one of the classic Christmas songs played during Christmastime every year.
Dennis Wilson died in 1983. These performances are from the mid 1960s.
Very thoughtful of Mike Love to do the hand actions for the benefit of deaf viewers.
Amazing production. I don’t think I appreciated how good it was at 13 years old. What’s really amazing is that they were all live performances - no lip-sync. And . . . Jeff Beck!! ❤️
Dave Clark were lip syncing; Yardbirds Heart Full of Soul was synced. Just shazam the video, if you get a match its the record.
10:00 - The Yardbirds bass player Paul Samwell -Smith looks like comedian Bill Hader.
I was born just days after the Beatles made their USA debut on television but I grew up on all these songs because of my four older siblings and I raised all four of my children on these great songs! I know almost every word to every song. Thanks for putting this together and sharing it with us!!
How can society crumble into what it is today so fast? It’s a terrible shame.
Good seeing Donovan on here. I love his music.
What a awesome blast from our past
Got to thinking......I watched every episode of that show as a 10 yr. old in '65....mesmerized. I was truly a dedicated hard-rocker by that age.....and now at 67 in 2022....it ain't much different. DId anybody else watch this on a cheap old black and white TV with the 2 "rabbit ears" for antennas...complete with big shards of tin foil draped over them for the "best" reception possible? Down in Tucson Az. we HAD to.....living out in the middle of the desert away from town. But we managed to survive....didn't we? These poor kids today.....omg....I mean it. No clue at all.
The Yardbirds!!!
There is something very eerie about all of this. I got increasingly creeped out as I watched.
Are u creepy or just felt creepy
@@Matt-dj4cb Well, my ex-wife thinks I'm creepy - but it was just a show to get rid of her.
They all got the girls screaming and having a great time 😀😀😀😀❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awesome! I was in high school when this show came on. I loved it and, of course, my parents hated it.
Great to see the original Beach Boys(with Brian playing bass guitar)!
77 now. I love this music as much (or even more) than I did as a Teenager. This when Pop was enjoyable in every way. Today? FUGGETABOUIT!
THESE ARE ALL GREAT THEY ALL TAKE ME BACK WHEN , I WAS A TEENAGER.
1965 Great Legendary black and white video Excellent legendandary performance
Such a pity that The Yardbirds were cut off before they finished. That is a great version of 'I'm A Man'.
The song is actually Mannish Boy. Check out any Muddy Waters hits album...it was his song.
@@oliaslives6986 Wrong. Bo Diddley wrote "I'm a Man" and then Muddy Waters, in friendly competition, wrote "Mannish Boy"
All of these bands and performances should be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!
Allan Clarke's voice is timeless.
The real star of the Hollies (at least in these videos) is the exciting rhythm section of Eric Haydock on bass and Bobby Elliott on drums. They are really smoking here.
Elliott was definitely one of the best drummers in the '60s.@@mikeymutual5489
1965 was the year I became absolutely smitten with music. I turned 13 in December of that year. We could only receive three channels on our tv: ABC, CBS and PBS. If I recall correctly Shindig was on ABC, Channel 13 with Hullaballo being broadcast on NBC, Channel 6 which we didn't receive. It's funny because I remember Bobby Sherman, Bobby Sherman and Bobby Sherman singing on Shindig and not so many of those shown here that were favorites of that time for me. Thank you.
OMG Shindig… giving me chills 🥰
Wow. Watching a young Jeff Beck cooking was great!
time counter at 9:27 is one of the best songs of that era.... still timeless
Beck giving a preview of shapes of things to come
My first music memories started in about 1960. What a difference three years makes. I was 7 when the British Invasion started. Still amazed how we went from two minute Beatles songs to Hendrix in such a short time. It was a lot of excitement and radio was still great too.
a glorious time in music history
my gosh, my heart, seeing tony hicks in The Hollies back then. I can just freeze frame and stare at that for an hour...lmao. Talk about a CRUSH.
He's aged well, as he doesn't really look that much different. That boyish look endures.
Donovan’s and others’ simplicity and sincerity (without sexy go-go dancers) was wonderful!
☮️💟
music shows were big back when I was a kid
Those days good music created great memories
The Kingsmen, Louie Louie, wow, great singer, great band
