GREAT PERFORMANCES: "THE DAVE CLARK FIVE: GLAD ALL OVER"
March 13, 2015  | By David Bianculli  | 1 comment

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

 

Right after The Beatles invaded America on The Ed Sullivan Show, so did another British rock band: The Dave Clark Five. And for a while, they were notching Number One hits in the U.S. right along with the Fab Four. Clark was one of the rare drummers who led the band and sang lead vocals (take that, Ringo!), and their string of hits was due, in no small part, to the music’s propulsive beats. “Glad All Over,” “Bits and Pieces,” “Over and Over” – each of those chart-topping songs contained moments where the drums were the only instrument heard. And now, half a century later, those songs, and Clark, are showcased again, this time on PBS, where the average viewer would have been a teenager, at least, when these singles first were released. (Guilty as charged, by the way.) Check local listings.

I missed this on 3/13. Will it be showing again, and if so, when?
