I had a pretty decent bootleg copy (on DVD from video) several years back.  I did not see the PBS airing but I did see the line-up. I just looked at the synopsis from the ORIGINAL airing and these acts were edited out of the PBS airing:
Jan & Dean - One Piece Topless Bathing Suit
Tom Jones - It's Not Unusual
Johnny Mathis - Wild Is The Wind
Bill Cosby - comedy
Dave Clark Five - I Like It Like That
Ray Charles - full medley of hits (??)

Several years back, I was able to get ahold of drummer Norman Mayell and sent him a video of the group doing "Monkeys On The Moon".  In return, he sent me two different "Hello Hello" clips the band did on Where The Action Is.

Nope.  No database.  I started collecting in 1985 and sold my collection 3 or 4 years ago.  Those were seriously the ones I could remember off the top of my head, of things I had.

-The DC5 were on the Ed Sullivan show a record 18 times

Proven to be yet another lie put out by Dave Clark himself.  They were only on 13 times, not 18.  I wrote to the archive company (Andrew Solt Productions) several years back and they gave me the dates and song titles that the group did.  Even the person that responded to me said "Yes, we know what Dave Clark has been saying but it's always been a lie."
Clark also claims that they, too, were viewed by 70 million people on tv.  Ahhhhh, no.  That claim only goes to The Beatles (73 million viewers for their first Sullivan appearance).  ON AVERAGE, the Sullivan show had less than 15 million viewers each week.
He also says the group sold over 100 million records worldwide.  Another lie......it is closer to 50 million.
Don't get me wrong, I love the DC5 hits as much as anybody else, but I don't like Dave Clark, the person.  He has never written a song in his life.  He paid ghostwriters like Ron Ryan to write them and then claimed he, himself, wrote them.  He has also gone back on his word by NOT paying for some songs that sold quite well. I could go on and on about Dave's lies but I won't........the facts are out there on the 'net.  All you have to do is a little research and talk to the right people.

Hi All.  I would also like to thank Lorne and everybody else involved with this board.  I really didn't post much on the other board but I was a lurker.  ha ha ha  My real name is Gary but I go by jthyme.  Glad to be here but I just can't promise how much I will post but I'm sure you'll get my 2 cents worth at times.
