Dino was the greatest. He had perfect timing and creative drum fills. With his jazz training, no one could touch him in the rock world. I love what I call his Copacabana-style finishes. RIP, Dino
Only 4 beautiful musicians to make all that great music without all the gimmicks of bands today. Thus us when real music ruled the world. Thank u rascals for your talent.😊❤❤❤
The third of four appearances by this amazing group in 1967 (Ed must have loved them too!). A bittersweet video knowing that drummer Dino Danelli passed away just 7 months ago. He inspired me to learn how to play drums as a kid. Love these vintage rock appearances on Sullivan, Keep them coming!
You have to admire Felix Cavaliere's versatility. He's simultaneously playing the melody on his organ keyboard, the bass line on his pedals and providing a soulful lead vocal. Like the Doors, the Rascals did not have a group member on electric bass.
Not to take anything away from Felix's brilliance...he was capable of doing that, and he could do it with amazing fluency...but I don't think he's doing it in this particular clip... There's obviously a horn section off stage, and I'm guessing probably also a bass player... I'm also not certain Gene's guitar is live, because there's no evidence of an amplifier... Drums and vocals clearly are...
I saw The Rascals in a tiny venue called Hiway Inn in Roosevelt (Long Island), New York, sometime in the mid-60s or so. This was before they became popular and, even then, they were outstanding--- and still are. So, original, so musically forward-looking, so melodious and vibrant, The Rascals are a national treasure--- in every sense of the word.
Likewise, I had just started drumming in a garage band when I got to see these guys in 1967. Being an amateur, I immediately sought out a professional jazz drummer to teach me because I knew that Dino was using jazz chops in his playing. What a true inspiration. Pure class. His showmanship was much better in person and his character was always modest. His sticks spoke for him. Rest in peace, Dino. You made my life better.
Awesome song, I was sixteen years old when this song hit the airwaves....Crank up the volume on the AM radio in the car...With my girlfriend...Best years ever.. A decade long gone.
Yes. Who wouldn't want to be loved like this song's lyrics say? The music is perfection. It takes me back to the time when we were just discovering what love is.
Awesome performers The Rascals had everything going on. They were extremely talented, great songs,Felix at the Hammond organ suberb playing bass lines with his feet and incomparable voice, Gene with his Gibson guitar and on harmonica, Eddie another great singer and back up voice and the great Dino Danelli ( R.I.P.) second to none on his Ludwig kit.
I was just a wee lad at the time; so I only realized later how good they were - all 4 of them. The ladies all fell in love with Dino; he looked like a cross between Paul McCartney & Kasim Sulton (from Rundgren's Utopia band). Felix & Eddie had great voices. Awesome!
This is ironic. I saw them twice, also - first time when I was 16 and a drummer in a garage band. Then I saw them again when I was 20. I saw CTA in 1969 when they opened for Jimi Hendrix (Jimi chose them because he actually admitted to Terry Kath that he thought Terry was a better guitarist than he was (this is in a documentary on Terry). Sad that Terry and Jimi both died so young, but I digress. The important thing to note is that the Young Rascals aka Rascals were fantastic musicians and warm human beings. Still miss the group and I'm so sad that Dino is gone.
@@Walt222 not really, people are spoiled, we have everything at our fingertips and people are still unhappy, Maybe it's time to look inward and end our materialism, and I'm just as bad as the next guy
Thank you Steven Van Zandt for putting them back out here for us. They played the Finger Lakes Region years ago. We brought our kids. Drove back home in a blizzard. RIP Dino.
@crevnoid: I find it hard to believe that the band "Chicago" had The Rascals warming up for it in 1968. The Rascals were an established band at that time. The group "Chicago" had not even released its first album in 1968. Chicago didn't release its first album until 1969 - and had just shortly before then shortened its name to "Chicago" from "Chicago Transit Authority." I would like to know where you saw The Rascals warming up for Chicago in 1968.
are you kidding me? LIVE. this is one of the best things on the whole site. playing at this level is like pulling a 747 off the ground with your teeth. talk about hooks! now I remember why I played TIME PEACE over and over again.
This started my love for Felix Cavaliere to this day! I remember this day, I was only 16 years old, and his voice just touched my heart! I have the original 45 of this song! Peace & Love ❤
I just heard this on my local public radio. I hadn’t heard it for a long, long time and like so many other great songs had drifted into my growing file of fading memories. All I can say, what a great sound and song.
I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE SEEN THEM WITH THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPIERANCE AT THE SCHAEFER MUSIC FESTIVAL IN CENTRAL PARK ON 7/5/67 ❤😮,DINO WOULD BE PLAYING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HE WOULD FLING HIS DRUM 🥁 STICKS OUT INTO THE AUDIENCE AT SUCH A FAST PACE THAT YOU WOULDN'T HAVE NOTICED IT IF YOU DIDN'T SEE PEOPLE TRYING TO TRY TO GET THE STICKS.
I know it wasn't competitive, art being art, 60's music at it's zenith. But here's to one of at least 4 American music acts to give The Beatles a run for their money! Listeners of that era benefitted from so many great acts. The Billboard Pop Charts will bear out that the Liverpool group were consistent with fans. I'd like to add The Temptations, The Beach Boys, Frankie Vallie & The Four Seasons.... and this great group performing on The Ed Sullivan Show. The pride of Pelham, New York. And who got their start gigging on Long Island in 1965... THE YOUNG RASCALS!❤
@@recordguy4321 Point taken. Just thought I remembered a late 80's interview with Felix Cavalleri stating that he and the band did some gigs out on Long Island, too. I also recall Frankie Valli once stating that his group used to be called the Four Lovers. But the group changed their name to Four Seasons in honor of a bowling alley they used to frequent.
The ChooChoo Club on Passaic St. in GARFIELD, NJ. I was there, but was only a little 10yr old boy. I lived in LODI and for a whole week in an Abandoned store right across the street from me they rehearsed every day. I'll never forget.
Ladies and Gentlemen! Paul McCartney on drums! Ha! But seriously, Dino Danelli is a LOAD of fun to watch. And he, Like Keith Moon of The Who, knew he had a part to play as far as showmanship and DRIVING the band is concerned. A great band all the way around, IMHO.
Ed Sullivan exposed so many great artists to the general public. This is a guy who looked like he watched Lawrence Welk on repeat but still took great risks on his show (see The Doors). Bandstand and Soul Train were similar but their artists were exactly what we expected.
Greetings from NorCal. Being “ Gifted with age” as my former Irish priest father O’Reilly once said, I remember Ed Sullivan and this group. I like another group, Chicago, who used horns and perhaps their horn section did this as a side job. Yes their drummer Dino was very good as was the drummer Danny for Chicago. They both used the pencil grip on the sticks, now most drummers use the overhand grip if they even have live drummers because a lot of them use drum machines. I prefer live drummers and no auto tune on vocals, but I’m old school.
If you appreciate Chicago as I have please search LEONID AND FRIENDS they are featured on RUclips and have an excellent Channel. They play Chicago better than Chicago. They are all Ukrainian and Russians.
I love Dino and the Rascals but Danny Seraphine was in a whole other class, if he played on nothing other than Beginnings, he'd still be world renowned!
Thanks for posting. Now THAT was something to see! Playing live with the live orchestra behind them. Very cool (this song is just loverly)! Love me some Rascals! ❤☮🌎
Saw Felix & Gene w/the rest of their band in Jan. 2023 in Honolulu. Fantastic show. Wished it went on allll night. Felix has so much energy & his vocals were superb & soulful as ever.
there are two songs you need to look up. Good Lovin and another called Grovin these two songs were all over the radio. I have an 82 yr old brother and a 77 yr old sister that were big fans.
Fantastic band, incredibly talented musicians. It's a pity that The (Young) Rascals had only one Top Ten hit in the UK ('Groovin'' peaked at no. 8). 'A Girl Like You' reached no. 37.
Dino taught Keith Moon how to twirl the sticks...no b.s. Dino right there with Moonie as THE BEST rock 'n roll drummer all time...Buddy Rich....still the KING!
Dino was the greatest. He had perfect timing and creative drum fills. With his jazz training, no one could touch him in the rock world. I love what I call his Copacabana-style finishes. RIP, Dino
Big influence
Absolutely
Only 4 beautiful musicians to make all that great music without all the gimmicks of bands today. Thus us when real music ruled the world. Thank u rascals for your talent.😊❤❤❤
Wow! Dino is the best example of what a drummer can do for a band. More so than Ringo or Charlie, who are both really good.
Only 4 musicians, (and the Ed Sullivan Orchestra and their electric bass player)...
Dino! What style and energy. One in a million, but never again! RIP Paisan.
Dino was criminally overlooked in the drummer world.
The third of four appearances by this amazing group in 1967 (Ed must have loved them too!). A bittersweet video knowing that drummer Dino Danelli passed away just 7 months ago. He inspired me to learn how to play drums as a kid. Love these vintage rock appearances on Sullivan, Keep them coming!
Didn't know.
He was great!
Love the drummer
Dino had pizazz
I liked what he was wearing. It reminded me of the Joker costume that Jack Nicholson wore. 😊
Musicians actually playing their instruments and singing their as*** off . . . fantastic!
They're obviously playing and singing Live...BUT...Where are the HORNS coming from??
@@beebob7772 Studio orchestra
This also shows the versatility and talent of Ed Sullivan's studio orchestra playing a "rock" song.
I wondered where the horns and harp came from.
They understood the assignment!
I was thinking that too, how they were doing such a great job, true to the studio version and everything!
They were pros, plus it didn't hurt that the Rascal's music had some swing to it.
@@Taconix
😂😂
Felix never gets recognized for his amazing vocal talent.
Much talent in them days before the agenda took over to control everything 🤡
We recognize Felix ! ❤
He did at the time.
yeah he sure puts alot of cool soulful emotions in his singing..i really like that
Linda Mc Cartney always said the Rascals were the best American Rock Band. I concur.
Great band, and outstanding drummer, Dino Dinelli. RIP Dino.
You have to admire Felix Cavaliere's versatility. He's simultaneously playing the melody on his organ keyboard, the bass line on his pedals and providing a soulful lead vocal. Like the Doors, the Rascals did not have a group member on electric bass.
Thank you for such interesting information. 🤗
The 60s Geddy Lee!
They came to El Paso Texas & they did have a bass player behind the scenes. Can't remember the year, I was in highschool.

@@raphaelmann - the amplifiers were almost always off to the side of the stage on the Sullivan show - never seen.

This was before they became popular and, even then, they were outstanding--- and still are. So, original, so musically forward-looking, so melodious and vibrant, The Rascals are a national treasure--- in every sense of the word.
Listening to Dino's 24" bass drums "bombs" and syncopation is to die for. Amen brother, who is rocking in heaven as we speak.
Mr. Danelli was also my inspiration to drum. I really thought he never got the praise he should have. What a performer ❤
liberty DeVito also said he was inspired by him ..
Likewise, I had just started drumming in a garage band when I got to see these guys in 1967. Being an amateur, I immediately sought out a professional jazz drummer to teach me because I knew that Dino was using jazz chops in his playing. What a true inspiration. Pure class.

Rest in peace, Dino. You made my life better.
Felix Cavaliere simultaneously, singing, playing the Hammond B3 and playing bass pedals with his feet!!!
Did you notice how often Dino looks at him? They were quite a team
Underrated band. Never really got the credit they deserved.
HUH???? Hit albums Hit 45's big touring act. got inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Shame.
I agree ... Their 'Time Piece' 33 1/3 album was my favorite 👍
Awesome song, I was sixteen years old when this song hit the airwaves....Crank up the volume on the AM radio in the car...With my girlfriend...Best years ever.. A decade long gone.
Agreed
I too am remembering since I too was from 51
I was 11! A straight A rising sixth grader!

Fabulous performances. They were so Young! RIP Dino Danelli (who looks like Paul McCartney here).
These men used their voices likes instruments. Truly beautiful!
Dino, Dino, Dino................................... awesome!
DD was the best drummer in that era. He made it look so easy rip
Saw them live twice in my hometown in the '60's. Always thought they were underappreciated.
This is ironic. I saw them twice, also - first time when I was 16 and a drummer in a garage band. Then I saw them again when I was 20.

Dino is incredible! He should be a household name like Ringo or Keith Moon, etc....He is one of the best ever.
How can i be sure was one of the greatest songs ever
What a group! Can't think of 1 bad song from them!
They did so many great songs. This happens to be my favorite. And glad they are identified as The YOUNG Rascals, not the Rascals!
They played at my senior prom!
I am genuinely jealous. What a treat!
A fun clip to see, with Dino Danelli demonstrating his Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich-inspired flair.
.. and Cozy Cole
This takes me back to a much better time for our country. What a blast it was. Thanks for posting this.
you mean during the vietnam war and race riots?
@@gerrydooley951 yep and it was better then today.
@@gerrydooley951 good point, but it was still a hell of a lot better then today’s world

RIP Dino. Thank you for the music.
I saw them in 68. They warmed up for Chicago. My first concert and it was fantastic! It was cool growing up with this on the radio. 👍🤠

Everything about this performance is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Especially Mr. Dino on the drums....💥💥💥💥
Super star dom period. Greatness
I miss the outrageous splashy colors of the 60s! Once color TV took off, so did the fashions of the stars and the rest of us!
such an incredible band. every one of their songs are timeless and bring back only the fondest memories of the amazing 1960's
As a lifelong drummer of many styles and genres of music I must admit Dino was the man!
Fantastic! Always good to see and hear them! R.I.P., Dino.
Saw Felix perform at a local theater several years ago. Still had that soulful touch. Dino looks like a young Paul McCartney.
My all-time favorite rock group, bar none!!!!!!!!!
Great song and Dino "closing the door" at the end only makes it more special!
are you kidding me? LIVE. this is one of the best things on the whole site. playing at this level is like pulling a 747 off the ground with your teeth.
talk about hooks! now I remember why I played TIME PEACE over and over again.
Love to watch Dino finish. He was the best!
Have you ever seen anybody look cooler playing the drums. 60s music was the best.
Damn, love this song... and what a performance! Plus all the horns (though overpowering in this sound mix)... and the harp, even. Great stuff!
This started my love for Felix Cavaliere to this day! I remember this day, I was only 16 years old, and his voice just touched my heart! I have the original 45 of this song! Peace & Love ❤

I had a record album age 12 in 1968.I love their songs
The vocals and imagination in these songs still stands out as some of the best rock and roll ever.
Nostalgia at its finest
Still have this album grooving this is my favorite song on the album
I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE SEEN THEM WITH THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPIERANCE AT THE SCHAEFER MUSIC FESTIVAL IN CENTRAL PARK ON 7/5/67
❤😮,DINO WOULD BE PLAYING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HE WOULD FLING HIS DRUM 🥁 STICKS OUT INTO THE AUDIENCE AT SUCH A FAST PACE THAT YOU WOULDN'T HAVE NOTICED IT IF YOU DIDN'T SEE PEOPLE TRYING TO TRY TO GET THE STICKS.
Magnificent Masterpiece from Master Musicians, fellow paisines, 100% Italian, fan of Felix, Dino, Gene and Eddie for 60 years
BRAVO!!!
What a terrific performance !
I was lucky to see them in concert
They were awesome
Dino one of the most underrated drummers ever, Felix with the raspy voice made for rock -n-roll just awesome!

Still mind-blowing
My favorite Rascals song.
Fantastic group with many back-to-back singles I really miss them
One of my favorite bands.
Ooooh!Cant wait for this one..love this hit early in the band's career.
Loved this band saw them 2x was so honored when Eddy played conga on my album in 1974! Thank you Eddy!
So glad I got to see them live, great band!

My favorite Rascals song. Thanks for sharing. Saw Felix as part of the Hippiefest Tour a few years ago at the Minnesota Zoo.
Such a great group! Hit after hit!
Great performance ! Thanks for sharing,and have a nice day.
Excellent performance 👏 . I always loved this group! Thank you for sharing this. God Bless You and stay safe
Love these guys. My parents listened to them and I am a forever fan. Felix has an awesome voice. One of my favorite singers.

sorry.. no such drum grip terms as "pencil" or "overhand" grip - Proper stick grip techniques are "traditional" & "match" grips.

La introducción me da escalofríos, que exquisitez.
Great Singing Group especially the Lead Singer, he's very good and very handsome !!!! Love this Song !!!!!
Hope they go back on tour
Dino died, Felix tours and sometimes with guitarist Gene Cornish. Eddie pretty much retired
Saw Felix & Gene w/the rest of their band in Jan. 2023 in Honolulu. Fantastic show. Wished it went on allll night. Felix has so much energy & his vocals were superb & soulful as ever.

I'm in the same way... I had heard Groovin' but in the much later wonderful version of The Manhattan Transfer...
You should also listen to ‘People Got To Be Free’, which went to no. 1 in 1968.
Add It's A Beautiful Morning, How Can I Be Sure, Lonely Too Long, You Better Run and It's Wonderful
Awesome. Thank you. ❤
Dino on fire.
Those horns!
felix was so awesome
RIP Dino. 🌹
GREAT BAND--wish they did more songs--
Fantastic band, incredibly talented musicians.
It's a pity that The (Young) Rascals had only one Top Ten hit in the UK ('Groovin'' peaked at no. 8).
'A Girl Like You' reached no. 37.
👏👏👏👏
Dino taught Keith Moon how to twirl the sticks...no b.s. Dino right there with Moonie as THE BEST rock 'n roll drummer all time...Buddy Rich....still the KING!
Did you know that Dino learned from Gene Kruppa and Buddy Rich while Dino lived above the Cafe Metropole in NYC?
