Just last year blogger Lionellatwill realized he had audio taped the '65 Shindig episode, and gratefully posted the missing minutes, the ones with Boris singing his rendition of the Monster Mash, Ted Cassidy singing 'The Lurch', as well as Jim Doval and the Gauchos, and the Wellingtons singing other unknown Halloween music. All missing for decades, and finally proof that the missing segment even existed. It starts out with an introduction by regular Shindig MC Jimmy O'Neill, then the drums kick in as the Mash begins. Boris sings the MM for a minute, then The Gauchos take over with the tune, "Bellas Bash". Next is Ted Cassidy as Lurch doing the same as a dance and singing skit. After that there's "Skully Gully" by the Wellingtons, and the missing minutes wrap up with the Gauchos again and the rockin' tune "Out of Sight". I took the actual audio from Lionellatwill's audio and added some video clips from the Shindig episode and present this recreated footage of the missing minutes might have acutally looked like:

Love this! Nice job.
ReplyDeleteWith everything available at your fingertips these days, it's hard to remember a time when a simple audio recording of a show was a big deal.
And in this case, a really big deal!
