#1 - SHINDIG! - Sixties Superstars

[ricjan58]

at 53,i've been listening and loving all types of rock music forabout 49 years now,and i can confidently call CATCH THE WIND the most beautiful and moving song these ears have had the pleasure of hearing.

I used to have a pair of those glasses in the 60s....everybody had them and I think they cost less than a buck.!?

What an awesome era in pop music! One thing the Beatles did was to open up the market for groups that might never have had a chance. This was also that wonderful time when groups had their name painted on their drums. I was just a boy in the 1960s, but I remember those "granny " glasses that the guy in the Byrds wore. I wonder whatever happened to Jimmy O'Neill? After he was on The Flintstones he dropped out of sight.

Shindig was one of the best shows of its type - the sets were tastefully created, the artists were treated with respect, and they played live.

[rdecredico]

@Rknbkr12 This was not live. It is synched.

[tripletwin]

What an amazing live performance by the Beau Brummels! Probably the most underrated band of the 60s!

[cbimbi]

what a haircut!!!

[whato1986]

Donovan is great here!

[wink12345]

Two of my favourite songs Catch the wind and Laugh Laugh! Awesome video!

Jimmy Oneill was a L.A disk jockey in the 1980's-I once met him at a record swap meet. He was really nice to all the people there.

[speedskiff2]

Chris Hillman byrds bassist. Also Flying Burrito Brothers.

[jfab64]

You have every part up except part 2. Where is it??????

[nyrainbow5]

It was blocked by WMG

[blueblazer68]

Man, these guys were all great.

[Soullover212]

Did The Byrds pay God royalyies for using Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 for the lyrics?

[funkberto]

@Soullover212

Yes i think so, like Psalm 137:1 for the Melodian's ''River Of Babylon'', is biblical.

[buffspringfield]

@Soullover212 Probably not but one day maybe they may will.......maybe HE is just pleased they got HIS message out

[brenyermix]

What a good classic from the Beau Brummels, laugh, laugh i love it!

[drawingart]

Is the name of the guy with the black hat and unique sunglasses Jack Good?

[nyrainbow5]

yes, this is Jack Good

[Kramnosnits]

Sal Mineo could really sing good! *hahaha*,,,, hey.. great video, thanks.

[speedskiff2]

wow, david crosby looks toasted even back then. Bassist Chris Hillman went on to play with Flying Burrito Brothers.

[Thomaspwgy]

Michael Clark would play with the Flying Burrito Brothers for a short time also!

The Turtles would disband, Volmer and Kaylan would go on and sing for a while with Zappa!

As for the Beau Brummels, one of the most amazing bands of 60's America, they would go on and be a part of the Hog Farm movement - Sal Valentino and Ron Elliott are amazing!

[speedskiff2]

There's a post the Beau Brummels drummer passed away in Nov. 2008.

[Thomaspwgy]

Are you talking about John Petersen?

Sorry to hear that!!!

He left the Beau Brummels around '66 or '67 as i recall!

[floydsteer]

@Thomaspwgy Went on to play drums for Harpers Bizzare. John Rest in PEACE.

[ndhudecz]

I remember

[epod34]

Thanks so much for posting this video!

McGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher in la you know where that's at...and no one's gettin' fat except mama cass

The music of my youth.

[Thomaspwgy]

I'm afraid Kaylan and Volmer got a little fat too!
