This is an American Bandstand clip shot at WFIL TV[ABC], at 46th and Market Sts. in Phila.In typical ABC practice of the time this is a poor film transfer from the master videotape as the per foot cost of tape was more than film.In 1963, "AB" was a Saturday afternoon show and left Phila. for Holl...

PERSONAL TO SHARON ROCKEFELLER- THIS IS THE MOST REQUESTED SHOW PBS EVER AIRED!

WANT TO NEVER HAVE ANOTHER PLEDGE WEEK? PONY UP! GIRL UP! Restore this thing and release it. Forty years is too long for "Buchanan Nation" to see this only when courageous fans post their own copies only to have it pu...

FORTY YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL BROADCAST AND STILL PBS REFUSES TO RELEASE THIS!!! The single most requested show in their history. Proceeds from a legitimate release of this could likely END all those pledge weeks. ROY FANS-STAND UP and petition PBS,Judy Buchanan,the producers,WHOEVER,WHATEVER I...

Any ideas as to who these guys were? The label is from WDC but likely invented for this release.There was basically no DC record industry prior to the punk era.Never heard of any DC act w/ this name and no mention in local histories of them....

A story that has circulated for years in the Wash, D.C. area has Richard and the band while appearing at the Howard Theatre cutting this at a WDC radio station to satisfy recording contract obligations.When the tape of the session got back to LA, Specialty Records had to splice together a version...

YOU FUCKING DIPSHITS.

Record pressed 1/64. Group from Montgomery County, Md [WDC Metro Area] Partial personnel- [v] Timmy O'Brien [horn] Dan Aquilino,jr. Rest of group unknown. Possibly recorded in NYC. The record does not seem to exist beyond copies marked "Promotional Copy" on a white label.Likely not distributed. A...

"Oh Boy" is the video ancestor of "Shindig". This is where Jack Good developed the look and pacing for "Shindig". It is notable in that on 1950's era 440 line UK television the high contrast minimal look to the settings showed well on the screens of the time.Being on what passed for commercial ...

BTW-Bill haley was featuring the upright bass ride around at least as early as 1954. See the Y/T post of "Straight Jacket" .

Again, pure hokum even then.

WHERE IS THAT GUITAR NOW?

Does sound a bit like really bad Tielman Bros.

Lennons birthday A 325 likely from the same batch as his.In another post of the Bop Kats appearance the camera pulls out to show Mr.325's amp which appears to be a tweed Deluxe,the show is on CBS out of NYC. and somewhere around this time, Lennon himself was buying the exact same outfit.

WHAT AR...

Full clip-"the bop kats on ted mack 10 9 60"

Apologies for any mistakes in identifiying this

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH LOUD!!!!!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

What was I saying ?????? Oh, yes, LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!

Fifty Million Bo Diddley fans can't be wrong!!!

HEY KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!That POS resonator guitar you got for Festivus AINT NEVER EVER gonna sound like DRU'S..............NEVER NOT NO WAY NO HOW.Got it? Now give up and git yo' ass a day job or something........

It appears that somehow the Crap Eye Pub has some sort of different dare I say NEW backdrop behind their so called stage. Oh my...........................

Ever notice how a drummer can make a band? Did'ja? Hmmmm? Yeah, a drummer REALLY can make a band, REALLY MAKE IT!!! YUP, THE RIGHT DRUMMER CAN REALLY MAKE THAT BAND. REALLY COULD. NOW WOULD'NT THAT BE SUMPIN' KIDS,you know, HOW the RIGHT drummer CAN ABSOLUTELY make a band, take it from NUTTIN' ...

Maybe this will stay up longer than the previous posting so people can hear a great instro band. Thanks for posting. A lost classic.

The flip side of this is a great version of Boot Heel Drag. One of the few worthy Norman Petty productions deserving of praise.

W&L- genius. Luno-Whoever sold that crapfest to the station shoulda got a Ladmo bag full of Gerald's poo.............

What a revelation to discover these guys on PBS! And even more surprising that they were unknown outside the Phoenix market. Hopefully somebody can collect all this stuff and market some DVDs to show the world there is life beyond AND BEFORE sesame seed street!

This is from the first broadcast of the Dick Clark SATURDAY Night Show 2/58. It is two performances from the SAME live broadcast AND likely the ONLY TIME live performances[at Lewis' insistience] were ever given on the series. Much of the audience that night were Bandstand regulars bussed down f...

Quite possibly the earliest recording of a Fender Stratocaster. Great to hear a clean copy of this,my red label Imp 45 is so worn you can no longer hear the drum rolls. Flipside-I Need Your Love as featured on the Freed aircheck elsewhere on Y/T.

How much more footage is there? This is invaluable to guitar fans everywhere. If OSHA was to see this footage they'd invent a time machine to go back and shut the place down.An unbelievable casualness and carelesness prevails.

Has anyone been able to identify the factory staff beyond the obvious...

Sometime during the 1967 season, the AB 15th anniversiary show aired. What was interesting about it were the mostly whole excerpts from the 50's&60's shows. No big fanfare,just another regular Saturday AB broadcast. Too bad there was no way to record TV visuals in the home back then.................

Finally! the hands down best doo wop version of this song. And unlike the Old King Gold series release on vinyl, this is competely free of the overdubbed electric bass and fake RCA stereo. Stupendous-you are to be commended. Let's enjoy it until the Musikpolice makes you take it down.....

To date only this track and "Hound Dog" both from the 1956 CBS Allan Freed Camel Rock N Roll Caravan Saturday night radio shows have surfaced via AFRTS transcriptions. These two tracks were released on Radiola Records "Rock N Roll on Radio vol.1 around the time of the release of "American Hot Wa...

Score-Ingmann 1 Bert- 0 Sorry.............

Fine straight ahead cover clever split screen synch but REAL IRRITATING rythym track burying the guitars and not played well with bass dropout too. The backing just kills your guitars. Nice to see the interplay on the P-I-P effect between the guitars,definitely more Ventures inspired than Ingmann...

Yet another Dick Clark Beech Nut Saturday Night Show in 1958. Great shots of the "Little Theatre" in NYC converted for TV by ABC. Director Deke Heyward was never afraid to use its whole auditorium as a set. As for quality,all the clips from this series usually look pretty bad. Too bad ABC histori...

Ok here we go for the guitar history IMPAIRED-Gilmours Strat while having a neck plate of 0001 or 01 or 1 or something IS NOT THE FIRST STRAT. No reliable history of Fender guitars,Stratocasters,etc. credit it as such. Nor is Eldon's the first ,either.Eldon's Strat is LIKELY the First GOLD paint...
