=====================================

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."

Don't think it's Billy Preston. He was not in the Olympics. But was he sitting in here? It doesn't look like him. RIP Billy.

Man, that Roy Head is one freaky dude. what a great hit, though.

The bass player of the Kingsmen is Norm Sundholm. He and his brother Conrad, who was the electronics whiz-kid, were the founders of SUNN amps and the SUNN muical Instrument Company.

@jkoff76 Want to know something scary.....I remeber watching this on TV when it came around the first time. Guess that makes me old too.

Another advance that Shindig brought to US TV. Most acts preformed live and that was wonderful.
