And in the vast lists few links to view any footage … Not sure what you mean? Much of what survives is on youtube (I don't have time to search/link everything). |

Could this be a repeat performance? 12-12-65 - ‘The Ed Sullivan Show’ (CBS - USA): Catch Us If You Can
Seems unlikely that they'd just perform one song(?) I'm reliably informed that this was a repeat, and that they "only" appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show 12 times (and NOT 18, as always claimed - the rest were repeats!). |

Thanks to all those who helped!
At the height of the ‘British Invasion’ in the mid-sixties, ‘Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’ inductees The Dave Clark Five were second only to The Beatles in popularity. They sold over 100 million records, appeared on ‘The Ed Sullivan Show’ a dozen times, and have influenced artists as diverse as Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Kiss and The Ramones. Yet, until now, there has been almost no serious analysis of their music - which ranges from wild, frantic Rhythm ‘n’ Blues to relaxed, middle-of-the-road Easy Listening, as well as Rock ‘n’ Roll, Psychedelia, Bubblegum, Blues, Jazz, Country, Folk and Pop. In this remarkable book, Music Historian Peter Checksfield - author of acclaimed books on Jerry Lee Lewis, The Searchers and The Tremeloes - documents and reviews all this, and much, much more.
Available today world-wide on Amazon, in hardback, paperback & ebook formats!

Of course there legacy isn't helped by the fact that the back catalogue hasn't been fully available for years. Just endless greatest hits compilations!

Dave may have been a good businessman in the '60s, but his track record hasn't been so great since. Here's an interview I did a few days ago. |

The audio of 9/2/64 London Palladium is here: youtu.be/Dp69qaUHsyc?si=-YAOYdOG_eS4AOAJI uploaded it 11 years ago. It was from a Philips reel to reel tape and I assume was recorded via the ‘mic to tv speaker ‘ method as it’s low fi. |

On 5th February 2024, I published a book called 'The Dave Clark Five - Bits & Pieces!', which was favourably received by many, and got some great reviews. On 18th March 2024, I UN-published the book, as a certain Mr. DC didn't like it quite as much as other people. Here - minus all the images - is the full text of the book. peterchecksfield.com/the-dave-clark-five-bits-pieces/FEEL FREE TO SHARE!!! |

Oh dear Peter. Did you mention the rest of the band members by name or have pictures of them where DC wasn't at the front ?

Decades after their success
and following his seeming inability to hand over the original
video tapes / films of the surviving
episodes of Ready Steady Go,
Clark continues to
lose respect for himself
and his band.
reissues have not been well handled, Adrian
kerridge doesn’t always get props for his engineering which was an
important component of their
sound. DC doesn’t want
anyone else
to get any credit for
what he thinks he did single handedly
and that sadly includes Mike, Rick, Denis, Lenny and
the man who apparently wrote some of their big hits, Ron Ryan.
Personally I quite like The Mike Smith Quintet but their drummer was a bit of a thingy

I have greatly enjoyed your books Peter but would not have bought this one as I don’t particularly rate the DC5 compared to other bands of the time & do not like the arrogant narcissist that is Mr Clark.
