The 60s was not all Woodstock!

"Some of this is almost too good to be true: Brian Epstein interviewing Andrew Loog Oldham, the Kinks, the Animals, the Rolling Stones, the Remains, the Zombies, the Beau Brummels, Marianne Faithfull --- it's hard to know whwre to stop! The David McCallum episode alone is worth the price.
Even the bad stuff --- Hullabaloo dancers trying to break into recording, Peter Noone singing Dylan, Frankie and Annette doing the Freddie with Freddie and the Dreamers etc. --- is charming. And kudos to the company for not doing a "highlights" package and giving us entire episodes.
If any part of your youth is in the 60s, you'll want to open a cold beer and press "play". Warning: it's insanely addictive, and you'll end up losing a few hours sleep. A real treat."

"This DVD Is a must for PETULA CLARK fans.It features the episode in which she was the first hostess in 1965 ,and she can be seen singing her hits "I know a place" and "Round every corner".The production is if course very dated ,and the picture quality is not brilliant ,but as good as you can get from the original source"
Fantastic nostalgia

"I was just 7 or 8 years old when NBC debuted their version of the "Shindig" series (was too young to watch). Frankly speaking, this show was slightly better because it had almost something for every taste, ranging from "middle of the road" acts to the big rock acts of the period.Although the original video masters don't exist anymore (shame on NBC), the quality of both picture and sound is great. This was my very first DVD purchase (having just bought a DVD/VCR deck), and I'm glad it had to be a TV classic."
