From what I can see, all the performances on this that I watched appear to be live which is not all that common for the time. There was a whole lotta lip synching going on back in those days.

This is 2 hours of some of the best groups of the time all together for one night at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium.

There is apparently a DVD release of this from 2010, it was never released on VHS. I am going to have to see if I can track down a DVD, this concert is pure gold as far as I am concerned.

I hope you enjoy it.

60's was never my thing, but I find myself listening to 70's rock sometimes while working. And what is cool sometimes is a 40's channel on Sirus XM.

No The Zombies on that list ??

been listening to classical, bebop, blues and new metal :2 cents:

sarettah, that was a delightful film to watch. Never heard of it. I also learned of the existence of "Electronovision." According to wiki, that was the "HD" of their time. It certainly allowed for a transfer to a very nice-looking Youtube video.

And I gotta say, the dancer in the bikini with the giant hooters dancing her ass off behind Chuck Berry at 16:00...knocked me outta my seat. I can only imagine how pornographic that must have come across, back in this Donna Reed era. And my condolences to the girl who was forced to dance beside her, that she didn't have a rock to go crawl under. A rare occasion when the better dancer still loses.

Also a teenage Teri Garr as a background dancer around 1:12:30. She's the girl with the target on her shirt. Cute as fuck. She went on to have a long career, I suppose because of all those cute dancers, she was the one who said yes to the right producer.

An all-around fun film with great music. Thanks for sharing.

I loved the frenzied boobed dancer as well . . .

Thank you for sharing. Fan of many of those groups seeing them live brought back the shows they did and no one could hear over the screaming.

More a fan of mid to late 60s and early 70s.

I had this bookmarked and forgot about it

I would rather be blind than deaf, music makes my world go round

not super into older stuff but this is one of my favs from that era



and another



back to the present, all of which is built on the past and better for it:



as to James Brown in your list (his spiffy cape deserves a mention too): Say it loud...
