New Topic
Page 1 of 1

This may have been posted on here before, but can anyone place the date or location of this video? Possibly the Rendevous Ballroom in Balboa?

"Dick Dale and the Del Tones, the King of the Stomp playing Miserlou, Live in San Francisco, taken from a French show from July,6, 1963"

Thanks.

Possibly the Rendevous Ballroom in Balboa?

According to the Dumb Angel Magazine #4 article on Dick Dale, the clip is from a Capitol Records promo film titled "King of the Stomp", shot at the Harmony Park Ballroom in Anaheim, early 1963.

wow early punk/metal at its best......
I wish I could go back in time, and go to a surf show like that.
a few of the people in the crowd were really going wild.

I had been to Harmony Park a few times in the 80's , as it had been turned into a Antiques mall. Just 1 mile or so from my house.
And that small narrow stage opening in the clip looked the same as what I remember.
Sadly its gone now. Torn down to leave as an empty lot now for almost 10 years now.
There was a bronze, or Brass plaque in there on the wall Saying that
Louie, Louie was written in that building.
all the cool stuff always goes away.

cool clip! it's not exactly pogoing as I remember it from the late 80's but cool for sure. I wish too Jeff!

quiz question, what's wrong with this clip? look at 1:20 and 2:20

great clip - I'd never seen that one before - Same music as the "Swingin' Affair" with screaming added. D.D. was a badass back then, you can just tell!

The real shows back then must have really been something to see. Who says you can't dance to Surf?

"You can't tell where you're going if you don't know where you've been"

The Clip at 1:20 shows him playing on the wrong strings as what is heard.

I dunno about 2:20 unless you mean use that as a reference.

that's fast Jeff - I included 2:20 because it's inconsistent with 1:20 - even someone who doesnt know DD plays upside down could have picked that up. You can collect your prize tomorrow at my house. Very Happy

someone has been doing some editing. I wonder how that wnet? does the music belong to the footage at all?

I actually noticed he was playing on the wrong part of the neck,before you mentioned it. But I wasn't going to mention it.
Sometimes Editors don't always know music.

p.s. give my prize money to the local homeless children.

The music sounds like it is the Miserlou version on "Surfers Choice" without the strings, but with screaming girls added. It's also the same as the music in the clip from the movie " A Swingin' Affair"

As to the "Surfer's Stomp" here is a pic from Surf Guitar featuring the Torquays, and a flyer for one of the shows, date unknown:

In 1963 when the video clip was aparently made, I was 13 and living in Pasadena. I also wish I could roll back the clock and see some of the original DD shows. I kick myself for missed opportunities.

I think, in the Dick Dale GNP Cresendo Greatest Hits cd,
it says that show was in the early or mid 70's.

I don't know, the dress code of the kids doesn't look like the 70's. No long hairs, hippies or mini skirts, and the guys are wearing slacks, short sleeved dress shirts with white tee-shirts and button down collars--hair trimmed tight over their ears. That's what I remember from junior high in So. Cal. in the early 60's. By 1968, I was suspended from H.S. when I let my hair touch my shirt collar, and the "in" style for girls was straight long hair, mini-skirts and knee-high boots. The Beatles were getting into their pychaedelic stage, and surf music was not the thing.

Goober,
I meant for the poster. not the video clip.

KMET was a hard rock station in LA that Im sure didn't start untill the late 60's. And I remember about that Jim Pewter guy convincing DD to
re-record his old songs better to his liking, and also Jim Pewter was involved with the promotion of the show that happened with the poster.
