Individual segments are still on. This was one of the better ones.
The Honeycombs - Have I The Right

So much good music on Youtube.
Here's a song that should have been a major hit:
Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich - Hold Tight

I just looked it up, and you're right, it was Go-Go-Mania. That one is in color and I remember Billy J. Kramer singing Little Children was in the show and he's not listed on NME concert.

The first real concert I went to was around 1968 in St. Petersburg to see Vanilla Fudge. I can remember getting ready for school and listening to the radio in the morning and I wouldn't turn it off until I heard You Keep Me Hanging On.
