The drummer looks like Chekov of Star Trek.

am i the only one that thinks the lead singer sounds like John Lennon when he was in the Beatles ??

M'God was THIS early! The moves are dorky, indeed (probably proscribed by the shows "choreographer") and Rick Huxley and Lenny Davidson are using Vox "teardrop" guitars, likely a tie-in to the "Vox" name, as Mike Smith always used the Vox Continental organ. Huxley and Davidson abandoned the Vox guitars quickly, and relied on Gibson and Fender after that, as all Brit musicians of the era did. Fender and Gibson were the "Holy Grail" of guitars to the British lads at that time

ABC minors 1965 they showed this on the big screen.I just couldnt resist stomping my winkle picker feet to the beat,the 0ther 200 children joined in resulting in a massive dust fog the sort of dinner lady minders yelled for us to pack it in...We emerged into daylight after another episode of Captain Marvel looking like coal miners...SHAZAM

The lead singer's name is Mike Smith not Schmidt. He did know he was elected to the Hall but died a few days before the induction ceremony. Great lead singer of the '60's

@thebeatles962 Nope. I do, too. Except I actually like the DC Five singer better.

@hakafos44 I wonder if he pronounces a warship that runs on plutonium or uranium a "nuclear wessel?" From Star Trek 4. In San Francisco.

[lawseyd]

are they in bits and pieces ?????

If anyone wants to know what John Kerry did before he went into the Navy in 1966 . . . he played keyboards for the Dave Clark Five. Seriously, the keyboard (and lead singer) was Mike Schmidt, who passed away only days before the DC5 was inducted into the R n R Hall of Fame. Great group! "The Rich Man's Beatles"

@bobluman4 Yes. Thankyou, but I was being sarcastic

I was born (and live in) London, and the way everyone says "the British invasion", it sounds bad lol. Although I know it's not. Invasion just sounds negative lol :)
