Pop concert 1964 or 1965

Postby exprog » 08 Feb 2018, 12:25

During either 1964 or 1965, I attended a pop concert somewhere in London. All I can remember is that those appearing were Gene Pitney, Lulu and The Hollies, amongst others. It was compered by Jimmy Saville, and was shown on TV at a later date.
I am sure neither The Beatles or Stones attended.
For years now I have tried to recall where and when it was.
I am sure you knowledgeable people can shed some light on this.

Many thanks...Chris

Maybe the NME Poll Winners '65? The Beatles were on in '64 - I remember the screaming.

The Beatles were on the bill at the 1965 NME Pollwinners Concert and also in 1964 and 1966. Their 1966 performance apparently does not still exist on VT.

The 1965 concert (as recorded by ABC Weekend Television for transmission shortly thereafter) is to be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93HYF8uuT3s

I wonder why Canal+ (the current owner of the ABC TV and cinematic back catalogue) doesn't make those concerts available on DVD?

Have a look through all these tours and see if you recognise any

Thanks for the info, but no luck.
I am sure it was a one off concert, maybe for charity.
I suppose it may have been 1966, and I am sure Gene Pitney was top of the bill.
