It wouldn't be right if one of us old farts didn't give a big thank you to television shows like The Ed Sullivan Show, Shindig, Hullabaloo and American Bandstand.
The Beatles, The Dave Clark 5, Rolling Stones, The Who, Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke, James Brown, The Beach Boys, The Supremes, Roy Orbison, The Animals, etc.
Without music video or YouTube, these shows were our only opportunity to "see" our favourite musicians perform. All pre-lip syncing, so the performances were 100% real and were usually performed exactly like we heard on whatever AM station you listened to. Even Bob Dylan.
Great times and great memories from the golden age of pop music.
