Loved Freddie when I was 5yr old kid in the 60s and went to see him at Romeo and Juliets nightclub in Liverpool when I was 16,I kept asking him to sing you were made for me and when he did he jumped off stage and made a beeline for me,dropped to one knee and held my hand and sang it to me ,I was embarrassed but soooo happy too! He sat and chatted to my friend Carol and I about life and family etc during a break and was so charming,such a precious memory of a lovely,lovely guy RIP Freddie xx

I was (and still am) a massive fan of Freddie and the Dreamers in the year 2021. (I was 6 years old in 1964). My dear Mum bought me all the 7" singles for Birthdays and Christmases etc. I used to mimic Freddies movements and try to sing the words to my family, Aunties and to anyone else who was kind enough to watch a silly little sod like me! The group were so energetic, good humoured and great fun to watch. Also thier songs were very catchy and so easy to sing along to. I LOVED THEM. God Bless you Freddie and all the boys - Thank You For The Fun Times. RSN...
Apparently I was a massive fan too or at least I was very good at copying whoever taught me that little kick dance because I used to do it all the time. I was two years old in 1964 So it was a while before I could appreciate music but apparently I heard enough of it that I sought it out as I grew older, having two older brothers - the oldest being guitarist.
Wow I loved Freddy and the Dreamers when I was a child too. My goodness thank you so much for sharing this performance of one of my favorite childhood groups.💃🏿❤️
That little kick dance business he does was still popular by the time I grew old enough to appreciate music and once I learned it I did it all the time
3 top 5 hits in the uk in 1963 proving them to be a major hit making band during the mersey beat era. This was followed by a couple more top 20 hits in 64 and another top 5 in 1965. They were a big selling group for a while, not quite up there with the Searchers and Gerry and the pacemakers but like them, towards the end of 1965 the hits dried up. Certainly in the top 5 for hit making groups in the uk mersey beat Era. Unfortunately due to thier silly dancing and live tv show performances they often get ignored. And some of the lesser popular groups of the time get mentioned, that's the problem with the music journalists, they rarely check facts and often just regurgitate half truths or lies when publishing. I remember reading a book on British music of the 20th century many years ago, written by an English Author, musical expert, where Freddie and the Dreamers were mentioned briefly as a " Novelty act 1 hit wonder, who faded away as quickly as they arrived" These kind of quotes are then published again and again until they become known as a 1 hit wonder. Which Is stupid seeing as 4 of thier releases made the top 5 uk singles charts
YOUR RIGHT. JUST WATCH OUT OF SIGHT MOVIE AND THEY CAME OUT ON TOP AS LEADEN TALENT OF FILM. THEY WERE JUST AS COOL AS ANY GROUP. THOSE GUYS TOP CLASS. HAD LOT GREAT SINGLES IN 1965 AND 1966. YOUR ABOUSLTLY RIGHT
Great fun - I always thought it odd that the blonde guitarist with the shades tried to look cool ! The others laugh at themselves - R.I.P. Freddie - we could do with someone like you today to make music enjoyable again . Lightweight ?Yes. Fun ? YES.
That's Derek Quinn - a very, very underrated guitarist - note how he's off camera for a minute or so after the first song then appears with an acoustic. I think he may have busted his electric guitar at that point and they had to replace it with something/anything!
@@derby1884 I thought he was so cool in his shades - I loved this whole Group. I thought they were great fun and so dynamic - I was only 6 years old in 1964 and they made quite an impact on me. I'm sure that they helped ignite my wicked sense of humour...
I found an interview with Derek Quinn recorded about a year before he died. He explained that he wore the tinted glasses to hide bloodshot eyes. I confess I'd been curious. See ruclips.net/video/6JFadARjVBU/видео.html
You obviously don't have a sense of humor. Too much formaility makes a performance boring, even the song. Those are happy songs they sing, that's why the dancing.
@@vincentchavez2198 Totally Agree with you. It's what made them so unique - funny and so appealing to youngsters like me (at that time - I was 6 years old in 1964 and Loved Freddie and co). My dear Mum bought me thier 7" singles for birthdays etc. I used to mimic thier moves and songs to my family members. I LOVED THEM...
@@robertneave2669 Good for you, Robert! I'm sure this British band made a lot of kids like you happy back in the 60s. I was born in 1964, they're before my time, but I enjoy Freddie and the Dreamers greatly. I think they're not only unique but awesome. I totally emby you, for you were one of the luckiest kids in this world-----you had quite a few singels by this great band. I wish I had at least one. I couldn't even dance like Freddie for as much as I tried, couldn't coordinate my movements as he did.

Freddie was a very good singer!
Not only did they make great music...they had a brilliant time doing it.
“Freddie and The Dreamers are without a doubt the best act in the business!”
- Freddie’s mum
I'm 70 years old and I still love Freddie n the dreamers

love those Beatle boots
My brother played this song for me in the sixties and I loved it! It became "😊our song" and we have such good memories remembering listening to it

Freddy and the band were always a joy to watch on TV back in ‘65.
Awesome! Fantastic! Rocks!
So beautiful love freddie his bouncing about reminds me of my husband many years ago tears of happiness thank you for sharing xx
So glad this footage survives, so much has been lost.
Wow I loved Freddy and the Dreamers when I was a child too. My goodness thank you so much for sharing this performance of one of my favorite childhood groups.💃🏿❤️
Ahhh.... Italian box jackets.. tight trousers and winkle-pickers.... those were the days!
That little kick dance business he does was still popular by the time I grew old enough to appreciate music and once I learned it I did it all the time
When music made sense. if you get my drift.....Ireland
One of my childhood favourite groups.
Chanson des années soixante de qualité qu'on ne retrouvera plus maintenant
Freddie was a nice looking guy too. Sad to hear he passed away recently.
Baby Blue you were 10 years late my friend 😂 he dies in 2006
He died a long time ago, 14 years ago to be certain
At 2:14 Freddie gives the “Benny Hill salute”.

love it...funny and melodious
When they were on ready steady go Freddie was asked are you ever serious he said yes our new song I understand
great best of times then loved these
Their "dancing" cracks me up. Freddie had a face for radio. I'll try to be nice.
Guess he was "livin' the Dream".
In the first song, it looks like Derek is trying to bat Freddie with his guitar.
One of many that were apart of the British invasion ! The mercy beat !
Thank you for this!
Wonderful footage!
They all guitars the same way. High to the elbow. Interesting.
Cleese got his silly walks skit from this, I bet.
Gostava do Freddie and the dreamers

It never lasted all coming to an end
They are pretty good players, despite the silly dance steps!
He died in 2006.

Funny guys
What did he say between 2:26 and 2:40 ?
👍
Over You sure sounds like Gerry and The Pacemakers. But is a good record
Jesus fucking Christ, the drugs WERE good back then!
Freddie was 5 ft 3 inches.
What does Freddie's joke about Barney(?) mean?
😊
Нпаяяяч
CON TAL DE IMITAR A THE BEATLES MUCHOS HICIERON RIDICULECES COMO ESTA.
TRISTE!!!
Good music but spoiled by the antics.
I disagree. It added to the entertainment. I used to love watching them as a young boy on TOTP's etc. In the 1960s.
Using their slang: "A wee bit foppish."
Kinda like Herman's Hermits. Hard to take seriously.
nice songs - but the dance is seriously goofy! 😉
the oldest young adults I've ever seen.
Great voice but silly antics on stage. Unnecessary
You obviously don't have a sense of humor. Too much formaility makes a performance boring, even the song. Those are happy songs they sing, that's why the dancing.
Vincent Chavez You would be the same type to mock todays bands as being to gimicky and not a real band like back in the day.
@@vincentchavez2198
Totally Agree with you.
It's what made them so unique - funny and so appealing to youngsters like me (at that time - I was 6 years old in 1964 and Loved Freddie and co).
My dear Mum bought me thier 7" singles for birthdays etc.
I used to mimic thier moves and songs to my family members.
I LOVED THEM...
@@HamiltonRb Not really, I'm opened minded. I still find today's bands entertaining, while you'll still find their act on stage silly and unnecessary.
@@robertneave2669 Good for you, Robert! I'm sure this British band made a lot of kids like you happy back in the 60s.
