Can someone tell me what show this is ? Freddie had something special ; he knew nit to take it seriously. You'll find nearly any successful rick n roll musician will love him.
We are in an age of cynicism and anger, the early 60's was a time of growth and simple fun. These guys were never serious, this was their act, their shtict! Not the most popular group ever but they were well liked by most people. A fun group like the Monkee's. You have to have lived through this time to get their music. Let's put this into perspective before you criticize it. This song was popular almost 50 years ago, that's half a century ago.
I LOL'd when Peter Noone leaped onstage to Do The Freddie. Freddie looks like he's trying to outdo everyone else as though its a competition. What a great, enthusiastic guy Freddie was. We need his energy in todays bands. RIP Freddie. <3
EVERY TIME I HEAR THIS - FIND MYSELF REMEMBERING THE "BARRON KNIGHTS" "CALL UP THRE GROUPS" (WHICH CAME OUT IN THE SUMMER OF 1964)AS THEY HAD A VERY FUNNY TAKE OFF WHICH WENT "I COULD NEVER BE A CORPORAL IN THE CAVALRY PLEASE DONT PICK ON ME, I AM ONLY 5FT 3"! I DONT LIKE THE ARMY LIFE THE AIRFORCE DONT LIKE ME, I WONT JOIN THE NAVY BECAUSE I GET SICK AT SEA! DOES ANYONE ELSE REMEMBEDR THIS RECORD?
I can play this song on a guitar, but I would have hated to run backwards onto those stage plateforms without falling. That isn't as easy as they made it look.
Thanks for bringing back the memories! Freddie , even though you are gone your music and memories live on. We used to watch this program all the time.
its was fun dont have to be great..wheres the fun now..im waiting cant see it or hear it..music died in the 90s..someone needs to revive it.and id rather see silly dances than someones butt in my face
What an idiotic comment! Just goes to show that era was a DIFFERENT era, an age of innocence & 'bubble gum' & light, fun stuff today's pessimists are UNABLE to remotely fathom.
BTW, I'm no bleeding heart lib, either! Just calling it as it is!!!
Nothing wrong with the songs,but Freddie Garrity just makes himself look like a nerd...could you imagine Lennon or McCartney acting like that on stage? ....All that exercise didnt do him any good either...he died of Emphysema.
That is Doug Sahm from The Sir Douglas Quintet. See his video which was recorded just before this one on the same show. Its called "She Look Like A Mover". Its easy to find cause its in Black and White.
There ought to be more people like you who don't enjoy somebody who was loved by thousands because he was a bit wacky. The winter nights must pass by very slowly in your house you self opinionated twat!! I'M NOT SURPRISED YOU LIKED THE ZOMBIES, PITY THERE WASN'T A GROUP CALLED 'THE TWATS' YOU TWAT!!!!!!!!!!
I like these two performances a lot more than the record. He has a lot more energy here. In You Were Made for Me, he should have done that laugh on the record. It is so funny.
You had to be there. But compared to the kind of music that preceded it, this was revolutionary. I know, I know, it's hard to believe, but that's what made the 60s the 60s.
This was not a live performance. Notice, the instruments aren't plugged up and the drummer never touches the drums with sticks. Freddie is singing with a track.
you have shown me the light. i sincerely hope all that detective work (i.e. looking at the screen) didnt put you out too much. please teach me your brilliance in simple observation
Thanks for posting this. I remember as a young teen seeing Freddie and cracking up at the way he and the band danced while seeing. It was also hilarious to see the other acts come out at the end and do the Freddie with him.
