The Misunderstood - You Got Me Crying - 1965

The Misunderstood - Before the Dream Faded

The band are known for having pioneered the live light show. Campbell initially soldered a guitar jack to a car light bulb and plugged this into the extension output behind each amp. This simple idea produced visual music, as the response between the guitars and the lights plugged into the amps was identical. They first showed this feature at the Hi Ho Club in Riverside in early 1966. They also played with lights at the Marquee Club in London in mid 1966, to the amazement of the audience. An advanced multi colored large scale version of this "light show" or "visual sound" system was being planned in London when the band were forced to retire, just as they were in mid-launch. Another feature of their sound was getting all three guitars feeding back using different tremolo settings and the players leaving the stage flashing with musical lights.
