Freddie & The Dreamers (NME-1965)

[Tonithenightowl]

The 7th grade, the highschool record hops and doing the freddie. Pure magic, even though we looked insane lol. The British Invasion changed our world here in the States.

[Nayerianimelvr]

How could anyone not like Freddie, he wasn't a carbon copy of anyone. He had such a good time, acting the nut, he made us all happy. I still love you Freddy. Don't you dare RIP, just keep kickin it in heaven, see ya soon!

[redman19491]

RIP Freddie you were a joker til the day you died,you were a legend in your own rights

[Fabuladico]

Roadies in white lab coats? Hmmmm........

[sclm046]

Let me guess, The Moody Blues are also on this show?

What is it about British Guitar players hanging the instrument just below the chin?

The Gerry Marsden Look?

[12347771]

'Little Bitty Pretty One' was that originally by Major Lance?

[reg5381]

other bands like like the stones,alice cooper, geils and the new york dolls followed with the on stage theatrics.nothing wrong with it.great clip.

[ChampagneCraig]

Freddie, really . . . licking the mic like an ice cream cone ??

You are a crazy NUT and I dig your vibe.

[1911bugre]

Não conhecia.Que figura!Legal

[stubbyguy]

i wonder if he was goofy off the stage too?

[choadman1]

The sad part about this is even the lightweight groups of that era played their own instraments,unlike today's untalented watered-down hip hop pop garbage.

[youpaulus26]

São verdadeiros visionários da música, pois desde aquela época faziam o ¨rock divertido¨ tão imitado hoje em dia por 1.000.000 de bandas. Merecem nosso respeito!

[thomson1974]

[cdbern12]

[12347771]

Just the great English groups. Giving A Major lance tune a second breather.

Love the lead guitar on Tune# 2

[eltoreiro1]

Bom prefiro ZOMBIES E HOLLIES a esse cara nerd e metido a engraçadinho!!!

[shatzi]

I visited Freddie in the hospital before he died and he was telling the nurses and me dirty jokes! Pete was actually the funniest one in the band. They were a very good band despite the clowning.

[brabon1]

amazing how roadies have changed over the years

here, they were technicians in lab coats

[corkpopfrance]

incredible but true they were mega huge in the states in 1965. They could do no wrong.

[MartyRotten]

It would be easy to write them off as a novelty act but despite the clowning around, they were a great band. Love their version of Thurston Harris's Little Bitty Pretty One. One thing people forgot in the late sixties was that groups didn't have to be all that serious to be good.

[brabon1]

i always thought the clowning was great

too many pop stars took themselves way too seriously

freddie always had a great time...and the audience loved it

[supercarXXX]

Even at a young age (me at 12 in 1965), you felt that some of them were jumping on the bandwagon, and some of them had missed it.

[theyoungharris]

I agree, the clowning around they did on their stage act undermined the fact that they were a highly competent beat group a lot better than they were actually given credit for. Certainly most of the stuff they recorded on their first two albums and their EP's and singles was as good as anything else that any other groups contributed to the British beat boom. EMI recently released an extensive two-disc compilation, The Ultimate Collection, which is well worth having.

[Braintap]

Biggest assembly of a group of dorks to ever come out of the 60's

[moorlock2003]

They all looked like bank employees. Freddie actually had a very good voice, it's just the clowning that diminishes the group. But that was their act, take it or leave it. They had some good songs, my fave was the recorded-in-the-US "Do The Freddie". Apparently only Freddie was in on the recording session. Mercury Records wanted it that way.

[moorlock2003]

The clowning distinguishes the group is what I should have said. Freddie & the boys are out to put smiles on faces. That they do.

[Wehategod]

They rock and not mention the Moody Blues lent them there drum kit

[mrsmagloo]

Oh, THOSE are the guys who sang that song! I thought it was Herman's Hermits! Slap me for being a DUMB BOOMER!

[Bertrandd06]
