One of my favorite Dave Clark 5 songs is "Because". It's short but, oh so pretty. I highly recommend it.

The Dave Clark 5 was almost as big as the Beatles in the mid-60's - they had a lot of hit songs. You would like many of their songs. Mike Smith, the organist, is the main singer and the other guys sing background.

The hysterical screaming of the girls was the reason why the Beatles stopped performing live at the end of the 1960s and only produced records. They said that it was pointless to play in front of a screaming audience that couldn't hear the music at all. Dave Clark, the drummer and band leader, became a producer after the band broke up and stayed in the music business. He was a close friend of Freddy Mercury in the 1980s and looked after him when he developed AIDS. He was the last person to see Freddy alive, because the night Dave Clark was awake at his bedside, he died.

@@757optim For most musicians, it is still important to play in front of an audience. It is not only advertising for the current album, but it is also fun. But the Beatles caused such screaming fits that they could no longer hear themselves play and they said that these fans had no real interest in the music.

Tom Hanks gave the DC5 a great tribute when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Tom Hanks pointed out that Glad All Over was released after the Kennedy asassination when the country really needed a lift out of its sadness. Yes, they were extremely popular and there is a really good documentary about them.

There was a Dave Clark 5 black and white movie from 1965, called "Having a Wild Weekend." Some of the footage in this video is from that source. The Dave Clark 5 movie followed a similar Beatles movie "A Hard Day's Night" (1964). Both movies were backstage views of the bands on tour.

Dave Clark doesn't play drums, on all of their records before 66, drums were played by a session drummer called Bobby Graham, he was the busiest session drummer, believed to have played on over 15,000 records for the likes of Tom Jones, The Kinks, Rod Stewart and Petula Clark 🇬🇧

A lot of the enthusiasm in the early 60s - especially the Beatles - was because of John F Kennedy's assassination. The entire country was in a funk - depressed, sad - and then The British Invasion happened and people had something upbeat to grab on to.

The psychology of it. Well, hysteria is catching. You get into a large group and it becomes an emotional release. We were children of the 50’s……life was pretty uneventful for most of us. Such concerts provided excitement. I was never a screamer myself, but it was fun to be in that electric atmosphere.

Btw...this band really influenced the Beatles and in the 50's was very very popular than in band in the 50's...really started the British Invasion (where British bands were more popular and selling more records than American bands). Then in 1962 the Beatles were formed and started getting popular in England.

The Beatles started in 1960, three years before recording their first album, performing in Hamburg. The Dave Clark Five was from 1958 on more of a jazz and dance band until they switched around 1962 to pop music, the Tottenham Sound (in contrast to the Mersey Beat). In the footsteps of The Beatles they came to the Ed Sullivan Show, the next band in the British Invasion. Somehow, since 1970 the music by the Dave Clark Five has been rarely available and their legacy is less than that of the Beatles, maybe because their music did not evolve as much.

The Dave Clark 5 were from Tottenham in London and this song was the record that finally knocked The Beatles I Want To Hold Your Hand off the Number One spot in the UK in January 1965. They made a very interesting movie called Catch Us If You Can with the excellent John Boorman who went on to direct Deliverance which featured "Duelling Banjos" I think their follow up Bits and Pieces is a good rockin tune too... Lead singer is Mike Smith on the keyboards

I can't help you understand the hysteria by the young girls. My sister was one for The Beatles. When they were on The Ed Sullivan show we were all in the family room watching and my sister started crying for real, I thought it was funny, but my sister is cool, so I only kidded her for a short time. Haha. I never had any Beatles records but knew every lyric to every song because she played their records all day long.

When I was 13 or 15 I saw several Rock and Roll shows. But they weren't just one performer. It was a complete show with maybe half dozen performers. No one was screaming and wanting to touch any of them. Actually, they usually walked right through the audience to get backstage. They were always so very pleasant. In1961 when I was in the Navy I saw a great show. The main performer was Jerry Lee Lewis. What a performer he was. Then, in 1966 I saw a "British Invasion" show. In the show was The Animals, a group you may have heard of called The Rolling Stones and the top performer was Herman's Hermits. Then, in the early to mid-70s I saw Tom Jones in Vegas 5 straight years running. What a performer he was/is!! All of the audiences were rather sedate compared to the ones you're seeing here.

I have a vague memory of Elvis Presley on Ed Sullivan when I was 4 or 5, but seeing all of the excited young women in our neighborhood in our apartment watching the television made a huge impression. Fast-forward to 1964, I was 8 when the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan the first time. I loved seeing the Beatles, but the screaming fans scared me and I promised I would never act like that! I will be 69 this month, and I have NEVER screamed before, during, or after a concert. I can enjoy a performance and maintain control of my emotions.
