The "British Invasion". A question for you old farts out there.

I didn't know that the Dave Clark Five were a Brit group.  Or, are you comparing Brit to American, a la the Beatles (Brit) and the Dave Clark Five (American ?).
Also, don't forget, "Herman's Hermits."

"...I didn't know that the Dave Clark Five were a Brit group..."

From London.

I played DC5 in the hotel room before the R & R Hall. Not much mention there or the Nashville Hall either of the two Jerry's - Reed and Lee Lewis.
We had some of the best local bands here:
The Shadows, Maids, Saturday's Children, H.P. Lovecraft and Nugent's Amboy Dukes.
In between traveling acts like The Who, Cream, The Byrd's, and Buffalo Springfield.

The Mommas and the Pappas, CREAM, Erick Burden, Twiggy :-) Rod the Mod, Justen Wilson, ALL of the outlaws, The 4 Tops, The Miracles, The Monkeys, Deno, Blue Eyes, Cool and the Gang, Dick VanDike in chitty chitty bang bang..
