Hollywood a Go Go complete show open and close

Here is something that you really don't get to see too often. This is a complete show open and close [from two different Hollywood a Go Go programs].

Here is a chance to get a good look at the fine lighting and camerawork on this 60s gem.

Does anybody know whatever happened to Sam Riddle since Hollywood a Go-Go?

[HauntedStudios]

As recently as 2005 Riddle was working as a television producer, executive producer, and announcer. He has, or had, his own production company, Sam Riddle Productions.

all this shows is the opening and closing credits ??

[HauntedStudios]

Yes, that is why this is called "Hollywood a Go Go complete show open and close"

[zitalee3]

was this show aired live?

[HauntedStudios]

Most of the shows were "live on tape". The show would run as it was to be aired, be recorded on 2" quad, then aired from the tapes. If a "big" guest was booked they would tape several songs and roll them into the next few shows.

Besides the music acts the other stars of this show were the fantastic GAZZARRI DANCERS.

Oddly they don't look dated after all these years, maybe because of their great choreography and boundless energy. Some of us guys would watch the show just to see them. It would be great to get some comments from any former GAZZARRI's that are out there. You girls were great!

Boy, dancing back then was cool! You should would lose weight doing all those dances! lol

[Savadorason1]

I want it to be 1967 and I want to be 17 years old but not get my ass drafted. That would be a perfect world.

LA GROUPS FROM EAST LOS ANGELES WENT ON SAM RIDDLE SHOW THEE MIDNIGHTERS & CANNIABAL & THE HEADHUNTERS...

@HauntedStudios Do you know how long this show aired. From what I gather it seems like it was on for one season, 1965!

[hebneh]

"Hollywood A-Go-Go" had a very distinctive "look" in black & white - very contrasty, often dark. The set was very basic and you saw the lights and other equipment up against the ceiling. I can clearly remember what it looked like on TV when it was new, as it does here.

@fromthesidelines Glad we have what we have though. Sadly, lots of old game shows from the 60's and 70's were wiped, never to be seen again.

[haworthhoarder]

@80sVideoLord I know all of the Gazzarri girls and I can assure you that all except possible one aren't going to be go-go-ing anymore!

[haworthhoarder]

@tpwrealtor I sent you message about June

[80sVideoLord]

@haworthhoarder I'll say! Hey if you happen to know if any of these dancers are still teaching their steps to any youn'uns lemme know; I'm seeking out dancers who can perform just like these Gazzarri gals. I have a 60s tribute band and our shows are gonna llok just like this tv show & Shindig & Hullabaloo combined. We got everything but the dancers - HELP!!

[tpwrealtor]

Does anyone know what has happened to June Fairchild? My wife is her Niece and really wants to talk to her about her father who passed away when my wife was 2 yrs old. I guess June was one of the regular dancers on this show! Any help would be appreciated!!!
