Shindig! was a rock 'n' roll series that ran from September 16, 1964 through January 8, 1966 on the ABC network.
Shindig! was created and produced by Jack Good who had previously produced rock 'n' roll TV shows in his native Britain. There, he perfected his style of fast-paced rock music programing. In 1962, Good produced a pilot for American TV. The pilot, titled "Young America Swings the World," eventually became the blueprint for Shindig!
Most of the top American and British rock/pop acts of the mid-1960s appeared on Shindig!. The British performers often appeared in segments taped in the U.K.
Shindig! was different from previous U.S. rock 'n' roll programs. It featured non-stop music that, in most cases, was only interrupted by the commercial breaks.
Shindig! started a trend in television which could probably best be described as "rock 'n' roll...with go-go dancers."
Darlene Love is wonderful singing a blah song
The Righteous Brothers have fun on every performance through the whole run of Shindig.
And Delaney Bramlett (before Bonnie and Eric Clapton). So cool.

I grew up in the '80s. Hence, I've only seen these sort of clips as used in infomercials for "hits of the '60s" type CD sets. It's so neat to get the full half-hour experience. I can sit down and pretend like this is live and that the year is actually 1964.
