I was fifteen when this song was out in 1965. Times were so simple back then, no problems. My biggest worry was what I was going to wear to scool the next day or which girl I had my biggest crush on that symester. I had my working papers and had just been hired in at Deluca's restaurant. I started at one dollar an hour. Those were the days!
Sometimes they did the vocals live, but not the band because they had problems getting the sound right for the band. I guess this band was from Frisco.
Highly unlikely this was entirely sung 'Live'? Possibly Bev is really singing and the rest of the guys are 'actually' plugged in and playing their guitars, but they could not be singing the 'harmonies' because there are no mics in front of each of them? (Could there have been some unseen overhead crane type mics?) The actual guitr parts sound live because they are 'different' from the studio release.
@videogeekin Real live appearances were very rare in the 60s. Therefore I use the phrase "live" even though it's pre-recorded live. Shindig was mostly pre-recorded live. Well, backgrounds were pre-recorded and vocals were live.
I knew a girl named Vicky back in the early 70s when I grew up who looks almost exactly like Bevery Bivens, except younger. Maybe there are doubles for each of us on this earth.
Yes, this is Beverly Bivens singing this song live to a studio backtrack. You can hear the subtle difference in the timber. Just a great performance. One of a kind. Thank you for posting this as it is just so hard to find, even for an old guitar player like me.
This is an example of a mixed group whose female member, at least in this appearance, is just a singer. I remember seeing this group on T.V., possibly this very show (if it was a U.S. show). Before seeing them on T.V., I had thought that the singer was a guy. (I have commented on the role of females in mixed groups on a Sly & the Family Stone video posted by the same user today.)
The guitarist on the far right is Bobby Jones. A really good drummer & singer who I saw play with Mike Bloomfield in the '70's. He's still around.

That's either William Shatner or Josh Brolin on the 12 string... and R. Crumb on the Gibson.
