Mellotronists

The fifth Beatle, if you would call anyone that, would have to be
Billy Preston (ever see George Martin play with them live? me neither).

Dave Clark Five. Opening acts for them were Bobby Comstock and the
Counts, Little Anthony and the Imperials and The Shirelles; hosted by
Murray the K (self-proclaimed fifth Beatle).

the band's genuine reactions to his arrogance ever recorded? So he

saw Sunn amplifiers, developed by the Kingmen's bass player, Norm
Sundholm. They played all their hit . The drummer played so hard that
he broke his Ludwig bass drum pedal in half (that's kick drum for
those who are too young to remember). Ringing ears was a new
experience to me .
