POP GEAR (GO GO MANIA)-1965-This technicolor music revue begins with The Beatles performing "She Loves You" before an audience of screaming hyperventilating teenage girls. Future perverted piece of shit Jimmy Savile (host of "Top of The Pops" at the time) introduces the first 15 acts from 1965, including Billy J. Kramer, The Animals (doing "House of The Rising Sun"), The Fourmost, The Rockin' Berries, The Honeycombs (with Honey Lantree on drums), Sounds Inc., Peter & Gordon ("World Without Love"), Matt Monro, Herman's Hermits, ill fated Tommy Quickly (managed by Brian Epstein), Billie Davis, The Spencer Davis Group (with Steve Winwood on guitar) and The Nashville Teens ("Tobacco Road"). The second half of acts from 1965 has no introductions and include The Rockin' Berries, Matt Munro ("For Mama"), The Four Pennies (doing a version of "In The Pines", here called "Black Girl"), Sounds Inc., The Nashville Teens, The Honeycombs, The Animals ("Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood") and Matt Monro (doing the title song). It ends with the Fab Four doing "Twist & Shout". Only they play live. It was directed by Frederic Goode.
