Sounds pretty darn good live. Lol, the band wearing suits, and half the guys in the audience wore suits to the concert. Man how times have changed!

every band including the johnny come lately Stones copied Lennon and the chaps..shameless careerism..

I hope you meant flawless, tho flowless is more accurate...

CarlosReus: "the guitar solo is electrifying" - it's OK, but he's mostly playing the melody. Good but nothing special.

@12347771 It's not a Gretsch it's a Guild, which Dave Davis also played.

I'll keep you satisfied is a Beatles song that Brian probably had them pen for this other band in Brian's stable. What a masterful little pop number. The Beatles are true legends. But it's quite cool to see this show, and the Beatles performance here at this show actually wasn't as good as these other artists. They probably studied and practiced all night to be at the same show as the Beatles, while the Fabs were out partying. Just another show for them. They probably had fun.

And here he is Billy J Kramer is what the guy seems to sasy, but he's saying it into the bum mic. you can see himput the mic stand back in place as he gets out of Billy's way. This particular recording, or video (whatever) seems to have only (or mostly) picked up one channel, or something, if intermittently. You people who comment on having gone to these show make me so frickin jealous. Glad it wasn't lost on you. Did this stuff make you grow up being a musician like me? My band does 'satisfied'
One of my favourite Billy K. Kramer and The Dakotas' songs. A truly great performance : the guitar solo is electrifying and Billy K. Kramers' frontmanship is enjoyable. The dakotas played well as a live band.
