I think DC5 were a amazing pop band. I got some nice video of them from Ed Sullivan show and tv music shows from 60's.

The Sullivan performances would be great to see/hear on an official release. I have a massive 9 DVD set of Sullivan musical performances and there isn't one Dave Clark Five clip. I can't see there being much commercial viability to a Dave Clark Five Sullivan collection, but you'd think Dave Clark would let something be released. It's incomprehensible. It's not like he's making money from his own material. You'd think he'd want somebody to see this stuff. If I'm not mistaken, his band appeared on Sullivan more than any other group. Is he ashamed of the group? No interviews, nothing. Odd.

I've just searched for the DC5 on my iPod, but I must have neglected to include their best-of which I own. I'll whack it on when I get home. I can him Glad All Over in my head, but don't recollect anything else. Glad All Over is decent enough, but struggle to think of anything else bring particularly memorable. I know it shouldn't matter - in hindsight, it really shouldn't! - but they looked a little goofy.

if i'm going for goofy-looking, i go for freddie & the dreamers

I don't think of the DC5 as goofy-looking. If you're thinking goofy-looking, think Gerry and the Pacemakers--look at how Gerry Marsden holds his guitar!

Great deep album track from 1964. Excellent example of their vocal harmony abilities--as tight and crisp as The Beatles.

It was hard to get into them as a group, though. There was something cold about the whole situation. And it's not like Dave Clark came forward. Looking back they seem quite calculated. It took some digging to find them actually playing their instruments live, as on Do You Love Me:

My dvd of Ed Sullivan show is a compilation of various bands and yes it does have a few on by DC5. I wish Dave would release a dvd of live stuff.

Is it an official release, or a boot? I've never found an official release with the DC5 on it. If it is official, what is it called?

Sorry I do not know, it's in ex pic and sound like pro. Maybe some company or tv put it together.

And just when I was beginning to be fooled by some of the appreciation, here

Bass player Rick Huxley has died

Once again the bass player was 'the funny one in the group' and 'a talented musician'. Yet the Stones always looked at Bill as an afterthought that could be easily replaced.

Dave Clark Five Lyrics
" Live In The Sky "

You ever wanna live in the sky?
Sitting on a crown, watch the world go by
You ever wanna live in the sky?
Watchin' all the world go by

Sliding down a rainbow on a star
And everything below you looks so small
And everybody wonders who you are
But you tell 'em that you're not so tall

All together now
You ever wanna live in the sky?
Sitting on a crown, watch the world go by
You ever wanna live in the sky?
Watchin' all the world go by

Sitting on the moon with all your friends
Watchin' Mother Earth go rollin' by
You plant a little flag and then pretend
You're tryin' something no one else has tried

All together now
You ever wanna live in the sky?
Sitting on a crown, watch the world go by
You ever wanna live in the sky?
Watchin' all the world go by

All you need is love!
You ever wanna live in the sky?
Sitting on a crown, watch the world go by
You ever wanna live in the sky?
Watchin' all the world go by

You ever wanna live in the sky?
Watchin' all the world go by
