Thread Name: Obit: RIP Mike Smith of Dave Clark Five
Subject: RE: Obit: RIP Mike Smith of Dave Clark Five
Being of the 'Brtitsh Ivasion' age I recall always liking the DC5 very much. Always consisdered them as equal to the Stones, Beatles, etc. Every song had that 'drive'. A few years ago some local cable station played an hour+ worth of DC5 songs...uninterrupted by commercials. I sat there in shock and awe at the caliber of musicianship they displayed. All the songs were 'live' and they were phenomenal. It was black and white footage, 3 cameras and a live mix w/a plain background. I hadn't realized until then how much I'd taken them for granted and underappeciated how great they were. If anyone has any idea of the name and availability of this footage, I'd be interested in purchasing a copy. RIP, Mr. Brown.
