My frst concert was Dick Clark's Cavalcade of Stars...........
I saw the tour that came through Akron, Ohio in the summer of 1964.
The groups were as follows: The Orlons, The Crystals, The Supremes,Ruby and the Romantics, Gary US Bonds, The Tymes, Dick and Dee Dee, Gene Pitney, Johnny Tillotson, Lou Christie, Paul and Paula (Paul was missing and Dick Clark filled in), The Essex, and The Dovells. The Dovells opened the show and Gene Pitney closed it. I may be missing a few acts, but this was the core group of entertainers. It was my first concert, but the show was outstanding to my ears.
Gene Pitney was great and loved Lou Christie.
